BACKGROUND: The Treasurer’s Report of funds held as cash or invested by the City and the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency should be provided to the governing body periodically. DISCUSSION: The purpose of the Treasurer’s Report is to provide the governing body with the following information: • Current cash position of the City and Successor Agency. • Identify where all cash is held and, if invested, provide information regarding the Book Value, PAR Value, Market Value, yield, and maturity: ▪ Book Value is the value of an asset as it is listed in the City’s balance sheet or statement of financial position. The book value of the City’s cash is the amount listed in the City’s bank statement as of December 31, 2020 and recorded in the City’s financial system. ▪ PAR value or face value is the value listed on an invested stock or bond. Had the City invested the cash in stocks or bonds, the PAR value would be the current value of the stocks or bonds. ▪ Market value of an investment is the amount that someone will pay for it now, or the sale price. The investment value calculates what the investment will earn and likely will be worth in the future. Had the City C.4 Packet Pg. 28 invested the cash in stocks or bonds, the investment would have both a PAR value and a Market value. ▪ Yield describes the amount in cash (in percentage terms) in the form of interest or dividends received from an investment in stocks or bonds. ▪ Maturity or maturity date refers to the payment date of a financial instrument (stock, bond, certificate of deposit (CD) at which point the principal (and all remaining interest) is due to be paid. ▪ The attached Treasurer’s Report as of December 31st indicates book, PAR and market value of total cash and investments. • Show that there are sufficient cash resources to make economic commitments for the next six months. One way the governing body can monitor the fiscal condition of the City and the Successor Agency is to review the cash position. The common benchmarks to do this, is to compare the current quarter to the prior quarter and the current quarter to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the Treasurer’s Report of December 31, 2020, the quarter summary would be compared to September 30, 2020 and the annual summary would be compared to December 31, 2019. Information on the benefits of these two cash reporting comparison periods is provided below: Quarterly Change in Cash Position: This compares the cash position at the end of a quarter to the end of the prior quarter. The cyclical nature of revenues to the City and the Successor Agency versus the relatively constant nature of expenditures is shown in a quarterly comparison. An example of this would be property tax revenue of which the majority is received in December and May versus monthly labor and utility costs. Generally, the cash position tends to decrease in the first and second quarter of a fiscal year and to increase in the third and fourth quarters. One-time revenues such as bond proceeds may also be easier to highlight first in a quarterly change report.

PRESENTED BY: Steven Weiss, Planning & Development Services Director RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File Notice to Council That City’s Contract Officer will be issuing a Notice to Proceed in accordance with Agreement #2019-15 with (MIG) in the amount of $59,685. MIG to Prepare Environmental Documentation for the Planning Commission to Review the Uniform Application Packet for a proposed Battery Energy Storage System Project. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports Goal #1, Ensuring Fiscal Viability. The cost for environmental services identified in the agenda report will be borne by the project proponent. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: On November 25, 2020, Condor Energy Storage, LLC represented by Keith Latham submitted an application proposing the construction of a 200-Megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), located on an approximately 10-acre parcel land, generally located near the intersection of Main Street and Taylor Street (Assessor’s Parcel Number 1167-151-77-0000), zoned M2-Industrial (“Project”). In 2019 and in accordance with the City’s purchasing ordinance, the City entered into a professional services agreement with Michael Baker International and Moore Iacofano Goltsman, Inc (MIG) for on-call planning and environmental services. Consistent with the provisions of both on-call agreements, Staff requested cost proposals from both firms to perform the environmental review and documentation for the Project on December 17, 2020. Staff received a response solely from MIG on January 15, 2021 and determined that the cost proposal was acceptable to the City. MIG’s proposal includes Optional Task 9 relating to services to adequately assess potential Project impacts on jurisdictional waters of the US and State ($9,720) and Optional Task 10 relating to peer review of fire protection/suppression plans for the Project ($13,200). The cost proposal was last updated on January 27, 2021 for a total amount of $59,865.00, which includes optional tasks mentioned above. Without the optional tasks, C.6 Packet Pg. 64 the cost would be $37,745. A $35,000 deposit has already been submitted by Condor Energy Storage, LLC towards these costs and, in addition, an administrative deposit fee of $4,600 to cover staff’s time associated with the Project review has been paid. The remaining balance of $2,745.00 is due upon approval of Notice to Proceed. If the optional tasks are needed, then the applicant will be required to make an additional deposit to cover those costs. As stated in Agreement #2019-15, Exhibit C, Section III between the City and MIG, any services that will be reimbursed by an applicant/developer, should follow the detailed work request procedure shown in Exhibit A, Section III: a) A Task to be performed shall be set forth in a written request produced by the City’s Contract Officer (the City Manager or his designee); b) Following receipt of the request, Consultant (MIG) prepares a Task Proposal with description, cost, and schedule of completion of Task; c) The Contract Officer approves the Task and issues a Notice to Proceed; d) The Task will be performed with a cost not to exceed the Task Budget; and e) Consultant shall complete the Task by the Task Completion Date, in accordance with the Task Completion Schedule, and deliver all deliverable to the Contract Officer. City staff is providing City Council with an update; the City’s Contract Officer will be issuing a Notice to Proceed in accordance with Agreement #2019-15 with MIG. The City’s Contract Officer is not approving or endorsing the project. The Notice to Proceed is an administrative process designed to expedite the delivery of required studies for Land Use Applications. The studies are developer funded but managed by the City of Grand Terrace staff. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact to the City. The developer is required to pay for the contracted services.

Harold Duffey, City Manager RECOMMENDATION: Receive and File 2021 Community Events and Approve Inclusion of Class of 2021 Parade as a one Time City Sponsored Event 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report identifies the monthly tasks associated with the delivery of projects to support the City Council’s Goal #4 by highlighting the successful community partnerships and working collaboratively with community groups. BACKGROUND: Over the last several years, the City of Grand Terrace sponsored and supported many community activities and events. However, due to COVID-19 many community events were canceled in 2020. As our community begins to re-open, staff believes several of our annual community events can be held in 2021 with some additional safety precautions. Below is a list of activities for 2021: Community Events Date Managed by City / Provide Support Rabies Vaccination Clinic TBD Managed by City Walk on Blue Mountain 7-Mar-21 Managed by City American Red Cross Blood Drive 6-Apr-21 Provide Support Community Cleanup Day/Wall Painting 24-Apr-21 Provide Support State of the City TBD Provide Support Art Show Canceled Managed by City Household Hazardous Waste Collection 22-May-21 Managed by City Memorial Day 31-May-21 Provide Support Community Day Canceled Managed by City Bulky Item Pickup TBD Managed by City Summer Recreational Activities TBD Managed by City Movies in the Park TBD Managed by City Halloween Trunk or Treat 31-Oct-21 Managed by City Country Fair Canceled Managed by City Veterans Day TBD Provide Support Light Up Grand Terrace TBD Managed by City G.7 Packet Pg. 112 The City has an outstanding relationship with community partners and volunteers that do an outstanding job and spend hundreds of hours on these events that take place in community spaces. DISCUSSION: While the City of Grand Terrace canceled many of its special event for 2020, several impromptu parades popped up throughout the year (Class of 2020, Trump Rally, Christmas Classic Car Parade with Santa). None of the events applied for or received special event permits. However, to protect the public safety, the Sheriff’s Department provided some oversight of the events. Parents of the Class of 2021 requests the City host a parade to celebrate youth and the graduating Class of 2021. The parents approached the City because a significant portion of the parents are volunteers in many other civic activities and wanted to host a legitimate activity because students of the Class of 2021 was unable to attend school and missed out on all senior activities. The Class of 2021 is not an official nonprofit or business. Therefore, they are unable to secure necessary documents to receive a special events permit. Staff has determined the cost for the event would be less than $3,000 after insurance and Sheriff costs for traffic control. The parents of the Class of 2021 would like to have the parade start at Richard Rollins Park (Attachment I). Staff will work closely with Sheriff’s Department to determine safest route. Parents of the Class of 2021 will be required to meet with the City’s special events committee. If the Council approves the parade for the Class of 2021, staff will add the event to our community events calendar for 2021. Consistent with our existing planning process, each event will be planned by the City’s special event committee. City Staff, Police, Fire, Public Works staff convene with the event coordination team and determine resources needed to support the event. The City’s overall goal is to ensure residents are safe during the event and resources are available to ensure unexpected circumstances are easily addressed to allow the event to continue without disruption. FISCAL IMPACT: The City estimates the overall costs to sponsor and support the events is approximately $14,000. The estimated costs include staff time and additional materials for the events.

Approve a Professional Services Agreement for Interim Finance Director and Administration Services with Rogers, Anderson, Malody and Scott, LLP with a not to exceed amount of $127,500. 2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Professional Services Agreement subject to the City Attorney’s approval as to form. 2030 VISION STATEMENT: This staff report supports the Goal #1 - To “Ensure our Fiscal Viability” through the continuous monitoring of revenue receipts and expenditure disbursements against approved budget appropriations. BACKGROUND: The Assistant City Manager/Finance Director will be leaving the City, effective in April- 2021. The City contacted several consulting firms to seek interim finance director and administration services until such time that the City can fill its vacant positions. DISCUSSION: At the exiting of the Assistant City Manager/Finance Director, the City will have two (2) vacant executive positions. The above-mentioned position and its Public Works Director position, which is currently filled by an interim consultant from Interwest Consulting. It is the City’s intent to fill both vacant position(s) and is contemplating seeking the assistance of firms whose objectives are to place qualified candidates in municipal executive positions. City staff will reach out to several firms and will return to City Council with a comprehensive recruitment plan to fill both executive positions. The City expects to complete recruitment and fill both positions prior to July 1, 2021. G.8 Packet Pg. 117 In order to continue the day-to-day operations of the Finance Department (including Finance Director), staff sought quotes from different firms to provide finance director and finance administration/consulting services to provide the following services: • Provide Interim Finance Director services, including supervision of Finance staff; • Be onsite at City Hall on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and as needed; • Attend City Council meetings; • Prepare and review Staff Reports for City Council meetings; • Review and submit the quarterly Treasurer’s Report, the monthly Check Register report, the Monthly/Quarterly Financial Report (General Fund) to City Council for approval; • Review and approve routine account and statement reconciliations, including but not limited to accounts receivable and cash account reconciliations; • Review monthly recurring journal entries; • Review and approve the weekly check register run; • Review or provide accounting assistance in closing the City’s books each month; • Prepare the Monthly Departmental Activity Reports; • Prepare or supervise staff in completing the auditors annual requested workpapers or providing requested documents; • Be available to work with the auditors; • Assist in the preparation of the annual budget; • Assist the City with the closing of the Successor Agency; • Attend staff meetings as required; • Advise and assist regarding compliance with federal, state, and local financial reporting. Below is a summary of the three (3) firms City staff contacted: Firm Average Hours per week Average Hourly Cost Average Monthly Cost Consideration Familiarity with Grand Terrace 1 Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott (RAMS) 30 $125.00 $15,000.00 Agrees to a fixed monthly fee, regardless if average hours are exceeded. Firm was City's prior auditors, very familiar with the City's finances; currently provides Interim Finance Director services to other cities (re: Canyon Lake, Rolling Hills). 2 MV Cheng / Associates 30 $120.00 $14,400.00 Only allows hourly billing. Proposed personnel’s last interim project was Interim Accounting Manager, managing day-to-day, not necessarily Director level. 3 Regional Government Services (RGS) 30 $135.00 $16,200.00 Only allows hourly billing. Firm only allows remote work (from home) at this time due to the pandemic. G.8 Packet Pg. 118 Staff is recommending that City Council approve a professional services agreement (Attachment A) with Rogers, Anderson, Malody and Scott, LLP to provide interim finance director and administration services and authorize the Mayor to execute the professional services agreement subject to City Attorney approval as to form. RAMS offers staff resources with direct public sector experience serving in senior and executive management Finance positions with public agencies throughout Southern California as shown in their attached proposal (Attachment B). It is staff’s intent that the vacant positions mentioned above be filled by July-2021; however, should this be delayed/extended for any reason, the personal services agreement will continue on a month-to-month basis until filled, or until December- 2021, whichever comes first. The professional services agreement will be capped at $127,500. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the agreement with RAMS for the Interim Finance Director and Finance Administration Services will be derived from salary savings of the newly vacated Assistant City Manager/Finance Director position. No additional appropriation is required.

The Consultant agrees that the requirement to provide insurance shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages to any persons or property resulting from the Consultant’s activities or the activities of any person or persons for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible nor shall it limit the Consultant’s indemnification liabilities as provided in Section 5.3. In the event the Consultant subcontracts any portion of the work in compliance with Section 4.5 of this Agreement, the contract between the Consultant and such subcontractor shall require the subcontractor to maintain the same policies of insurance that the Consultant is required to maintain pursuant to Section 5.1, and such certificates and endorsements shall be provided to City. 5.3 Indemnification. To the full extent permitted by law, Consultant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its officers, employees and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) against, and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from, any and all actions, either judicial, administrative, arbitration or regulatory claims, damages to persons or property, losses, costs, penalties, obligations, errors, omissions or liabilities whether actual or threatened (herein “claims or liabilities”) that may be asserted or claimed by any person, firm or entity arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of the work, operations or activities provided herein of Consultant, its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors, or invitees, or any individual or entity for which Consultant is legally liable (“indemnitors”), or arising from Consultant’s or indemnitors’ reckless or willful misconduct, or arising from Consultant’s or indemnitors’ negligent performance of or failure to perform any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, and in connection therewith: G.8.a Packet Pg. 129 At t a c h m e n t : G r a n d T e r r a c e - R A M S f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e D i r e c t o r A g r e e m e n t ( 2 0 2 1 ) [ R e v i s i o n 1 ] ( A g r e e m e n t f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e A d m i n i s t r a t i o n 01247.0007/707586.5 4/7/2021 -11- (a) Consultant will defend any action or actions filed in connection with any of said claims or liabilities and will pay all costs and expenses, including legal costs and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith; (b) Consultant will promptly pay any judgment rendered against the City, its officers, agents or employees for any such claims or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform such work, operations or activities of Consultant hereunder; and Consultant agrees to save and hold the City, its officers, agents, and employees harmless therefrom; (c) In the event the City, its officers, agents or employees is made a party to any action or proceeding filed or prosecuted against Consultant for such damages or other claims arising out of or in connection with the negligent performance of or failure to perform the work, operation or activities of Consultant hereunder, Consultant agrees to pay to the City, its officers, agents or employees, any and all costs and expenses incurred by the City, its officers, agents or employees in such action or proceeding, including but not limited to, legal costs and attorney’s fees. Consultant shall incorporate similar indemnity agreements with its subcontractors and if it fails to do so Consultant shall be fully responsible to indemnify City hereunder therefore, and failure of City to monitor compliance with these provisions shall not be a waiver hereof. This indemnification includes claims or liabilities arising from any negligent or wrongful act, error or omission, or reckless or willful misconduct of Consultant in the performance of professional services hereunder. The provisions of this Section do not apply to claims or liabilities occurring as a result of City’s sole negligence or willful acts or omissions, but, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall apply to claims and liabilities resulting in part from City’s negligence, except that design professionals’ indemnity hereunder shall be limited to claims and liabilities arising out of the negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of the design professional. The indemnity obligation shall be binding on successors and assigns of Consultant and shall survive termination of this Agreement. 5.4 Sufficiency of Insurer. Insurance required by this Agreement shall be satisfactory only if issued by companies qualified to do business in California, rated “A” or better in the most recent edition of Best Rating Guide, The Key Rating Guide or in the Federal Register, and only if they are of a financial category Class VII or better, unless such requirements are waived by the Risk Manager of the City (“Risk Manager”) due to unique circumstances. If this Agreement continues for more than 3 years duration, or in the event the risk manager determines that the work or services to be performed under this Agreement creates an increased or decreased risk of loss to the City, the Consultant agrees that the minimum limits of the insurance policies may be changed accordingly upon receipt of written notice from the Risk Manager.

Consultant shall keep, and require subcontractors to keep, such ledgers, books of accounts, invoices, vouchers, canceled checks, reports, studies or other documents relating to the disbursements charged to City and services performed hereunder (the “books and records”), as shall be necessary to perform the services required by this Agreement and enable the Contract Officer to evaluate the performance of such services. Any and all such documents shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be complete and detailed. The Contract Officer shall have full and free access to such books and records at all times during normal business hours of City, including the right to inspect, copy, audit and make records and transcripts from such records. Such records shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years following completion of the services hereunder, and the City shall have access to such records in the event any audit is required. In the event of dissolution of Consultant’s business, custody of the books and records may be given to City, and access shall be provided by Consultant’s successor in interest. Notwithstanding the above, the Consultant shall fully cooperate with the City in providing access to the books and records if a public records request is made and disclosure is required by law including but not limited to the California Public Records Act. 6.2 Reports. Consultant shall periodically prepare and submit to the Contract Officer such reports concerning the performance of the services required by this Agreement as the Contract Officer shall require. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the City is greatly concerned about the cost of work and services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement. For this reason, Consultant agrees that if Consultant becomes aware of any facts, circumstances, techniques, or events that may or will materially increase or decrease the cost of the work or services contemplated herein or, if Consultant is providing design services, the cost of the project being designed, Consultant shall promptly notify the Contract Officer of said fact, circumstance, technique or event and the estimated increased or decreased cost related thereto and, if Consultant is providing design services, the estimated increased or decreased cost estimate for the project being designed. 6.3 Ownership of Documents. All drawings, specifications, maps, designs, photographs, studies, surveys, data, notes, computer files, reports, records, documents and other materials (the “documents and materials”), including any electronic documents and materials, prepared by Consultant, its employees, subcontractors and agents in the performance of this Agreement shall be the property of City and shall be delivered to City in a format of the City’s choice upon request of the Contract Officer or upon the termination of this Agreement, and Consultant shall have no claim for further employment or additional compensation as a result of the exercise by City of its full rights of ownership use, reuse, or assignment of the documents and materials hereunder. Any use, reuse or assignment of such completed documents for other projects and/or use of uncompleted documents without specific written authorization by the Consultant will be at the City’s sole risk and without liability to Consultant, and Consultant’s guarantee and warranties shall not extend to such use, reuse or assignment. Consultant may retain copies of such documents for its own use.

All subcontractors shall provide for assignment to City of any documents or materials prepared by them, and in the event Consultant fails to secure such assignment, Consultant shall indemnify City for all damages resulting therefrom. Moreover, Consultant with respect to any documents and materials that may qualify as “works made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101, such documents and materials are hereby deemed “works made for hire” for the City. 6.4 Confidentiality and Release of Information. (a) All information gained or work product produced by Consultant in performance of this Agreement shall be considered confidential, unless such information is in the public domain or already known to Consultant. Consultant shall not release or disclose any such information or work product to persons or entities other than City without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer. (b) Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, shall not, without prior written authorization from the Contract Officer or unless requested by the City Attorney, voluntarily provide documents, declarations, letters of support, testimony at depositions, response to interrogatories or other information concerning the work performed under this Agreement. Response to a subpoena or court order shall not be considered “voluntary” provided Consultant gives City notice of such court order or subpoena. (c) If Consultant, or any officer, employee, agent or subcontractor of Consultant, provides any information or work product in violation of this Agreement, then City shall have the right to reimbursement and indemnity from Consultant for any damages, costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, caused by or incurred as a result of Consultant’s conduct. (d) Consultant shall promptly notify City should Consultant, its officers, employees, agents or subcontractors be served with any summons, complaint, subpoena, notice of deposition, request for documents, interrogatories, request for admissions or other discovery request, court order or subpoena from any party regarding this Agreement and the work performed there under. City retains the right, but has no obligation, to represent Consultant or be present at any deposition, hearing or similar proceeding. Consultant agrees to cooperate fully with City and to provide City with the opportunity to review any response to discovery requests provided by Consultant. However, this right to review any such response does not imply or mean the right by City to control, direct, or rewrite said response. ARTICLE 7. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District G.8.a Packet Pg. 132 At t a c h m e n t : G r a n d T e r r a c e - R A M S f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e D i r e c t o r A g r e e m e n t ( 2 0 2 1 ) [ R e v i s i o n 1 ] ( A g r e e m e n t f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e A d m i n i s t r a t i o n 01247.0007/707586.5 4/7/2021 -14- Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San Bernardino, State of California. 7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein. 7.4 Waiver. Waiver by any party to this Agreement of any term, condition, or covenant of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant. Waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provision or a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement. Acceptance by City of any work or services by Consultant shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative and the exercise by either party G.8.a Packet Pg. 133 At t a c h m e n t : G r a n d T e r r a c e - R A M S f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e D i r e c t o r A g r e e m e n t ( 2 0 2 1 ) [ R e v i s i o n 1 ] ( A g r e e m e n t f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e A d m i n i s t r a t i o n 01247.0007/707586.5 4/7/2021 -15- of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. 7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, Consultant shall file a statutory claim pursuant to Government Code Sections 905 et. seq. and 910 et. seq., in order to pursue a legal action under this Agreement. 7.7 Termination Prior to Expiration of Term. This Section shall govern any termination of this Contract except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination for cause. The City reserves the right to terminate this Contract at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice to Consultant. In addition, the Consultant may terminate this Contract for cause, upon sixty (60) days’ advance written notice to City. Upon receipt of any notice of termination, Consultant shall immediately cease all services hereunder except such as may be specifically approved by the Contract Officer. Except where the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation for all services rendered prior to the effective date of the notice of termination and for any services authorized by the Contract Officer thereafter in accordance with the Schedule of Compensation or such as may be approved by the Contract Officer, except as provided in Section 7.3. In the event the Consultant has initiated termination, the Consultant shall be entitled to compensation only for the reasonable value of the work product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this Section, the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure pursuant to Section 7.2. 7.8 Termination for Default of Consultant. If termination is due to the failure of the Consultant to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, City may, after compliance with the provisions of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise, and the Consultant shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services required hereunder exceeds the compensation herein stipulated (provided that the City shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damages), and City may withhold any payments to the Consultant for the purpose of set-off or partial payment of the amounts owed the City as previously stated. 7.9 Attorney’s Fees. If either party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend or made a party to any action or proceeding in any way connected with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees. Attorney’s fees shall include attorney’s fees on any appeal, and in addition a party entitled to attorney’s fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs G.8.a Packet Pg. 134 At t a c h m e n t : G r a n d T e r r a c e - R A M S f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e D i r e c t o r A g r e e m e n t ( 2 0 2 1 ) [ R e v i s i o n 1 ] ( A g r e e m e n t f o r I n t e r i m F i n a n c e A d m i n i s t r a t i o n 01247.0007/707586.5 4/7/2021 -16- the court allows which are incurred in such litigation.

No officer or employee of the City shall be personally liable to the Consultant, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by the City or for any amount which may become due to the Consultant or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. 8.2 Conflict of Interest. Consultant covenants that neither it, nor any officer or principal of its firm, has or shall acquire any interest, directly or indirectly, which would conflict in any manner with the interests of City or which would in any way hinder Consultant’s performance of services under this Agreement. Consultant further covenants that in the performance of this Agreement, no person having any such interest shall be employed by it as an officer, employee, agent or subcontractor without the express written consent of the Contract Officer. Consultant agrees to at all times avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of any conflicts of interest with the interests of City in the performance of this Agreement. 8.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. Consultant covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry or other protected class. 8.4 Unauthorized Aliens. Consultant hereby promises and agrees to comply with all of the provisions of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.A. §§ 1101, et seq., as amended, and in connection therewith, shall not employ unauthorized aliens as defined therein. Should Consultant so employ such unauthorized aliens for the performance of work and/or services covered by this Agreement, and should any liability or sanctions be imposed against City for such use of unauthorized aliens, Consultant hereby agrees to and shall reimburse City for the cost of all such liabilities or sanctions imposed, together with any and all costs, including attorney’s fees, incurred by City.

BACKGROUND The BRSP has been in effect since 1990. While the Barton Road corridor has experienced improved development, implementation of the plan could be improved through strategic updates to better facilitate the development needs of the City in 2021 and beyond. The focus of the updates is to establish a policy environment promoting infill and comprehensive development of the Barton Road corridor with locally serving businesses, amenities, and urban living opportunities while eliminating the continual need for variances to accommodate modern development standards by maximizing the use of under-utilized parcels with outdated overabundant parking criteria. DISCUSSION: Pursuant to an on-call planning and environmental services agreement dated May 14, G.9 Packet Pg. 163 2019, City staff engaged a consultant team, Michael Baker International (MBI), to assist with and carry out preliminary work relating to the BRSP update under staffs’ direction. The BRSP update is underway and in draft form with public hearings commencing 2021. MBI has reviewed the development plans against the goals and objectives from the BRSP. Staff has directed them to update the BRSP: • Create a modern land use design. • Remove obsolete specific plan standards. • Update obsolete environmental documentation. MBI was hired May 14, 2019 to provide on-call planning and environmental services for the City and developer-initiated projects. They were retained for environmental and planning services project management support for the Greens Group Mixed Use project. By doing this, they have a thorough understanding of what is needed for this project to become a reality. ULTIMATE VISION: The policy direction for the BRSP update is to establish the framework for feasible development that provides an urban core of services and amenities while appreciating the change in trends around parking and land use. Although the BSRP is aged document with antiquated land use rules (deep setback and extreme height restrictions) that are inconsistent with modern day land use practices.it also included development tools to encourage the consolidation of long narrow lots that adorn the BSRP planning areas. The BRSP also offers bonus densities for developers that take certain actions and includes and affordable housing overlay for work force housing. The update of the Barton Road Specific Plan will also update the environmental studies and eliminate or fold the Town Center Master Plan requirements into the BRSP since they integrate functionally. The update of the BRSP will modernize the development standards for the City’s commercial corridor and allow for a uniform and streamlined process for all future developments along Barton Road. CIRCULATION AND PARKING: The recent adoption of the Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) Ordinance and Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines with local screening tables needs to also be applied to the BRSP. The application of the VMT will have significant impacts on parking demand and will act as the broader circulation study for all future development along Barton Road. The update of the BRSP will also allow MBI to apply the Council’s Barton Road Landscape Enhancement standards and undergrounding of the remaining power poles G.9 Packet Pg. 164 along Barton Rd. COMPETITIVE BIDDING EXCEPTION: Staff is recommending the City Council waive the competitive bidding requirements of Chapter 3.24 of the GTMC pursuant to GTMC Section 3.24.180(H). This Section provides as follows: “3.24.180 - Exceptions to competitive bidding requirement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Chapter to the contrary, the competitive bidding provisions of this Chapter may be dispensed with when contracts which by their nature do not lend themselves to award by competitive bidding such as, but not limited to: … H. Such other circumstances as the City Council may determine and document that will result in cost savings greater than those which would result from the use of customary bidding process.” Pursuant to GTMC Section 3.24.180(H), the City would receive a cost savings that would be greater than if it engaged a bidding process under Chapter 3.24, because MBI has extensive knowledge of and is already familiar with the proposed plan amendments and needs along the Barton Road Specific Plan corridor; has carried out the preliminary work for the proposed plan amendments; and, consequently, MBI would not need familiarize itself with the needs of the City related thereto and would not need to re- assess and re-analyze work that has already occurred. RECOMMENDATION: The recommended updates to the plan would better enable the City to attract quality development by reducing barriers to entitlement, allowing the use of land to be used more efficiently, and promote economic feasibility via mixed-use development. Based upon the forgoing, Staff therefore recommends that the City Council waive the competitive bidding requirements of Chapter 3.24 of the GMTC pursuant to GTMC Section 3.24.180(H); Approve the Professional Services Agreement with MBI in an amount not to exceed $120,145; and Authorize the Mayor to execute the Professional Services Agreement with MBI subject to City Attorney approval as to form. FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the preparation of the planning and environmental document is $120,145 and is included in the FY2020-21 Approved Budget. No additional appropriation is required. Staff, however, is exploring options to assist in offsetting this cost, including G.9 Packet Pg. 165 related costs of updating and maintaining the General Plan and related Specific Plans, and will present possible options for consideration at a future City Council meeting.

To support the preparation of the IS/MND, we propose the development of limited technical studies to substantiate the IS/MND analysis. Additionally, we have included a scope for support services to complete updates to the Specific Plan document and create a new Specific Plan document in a printable and editable electronic file. SCOPE OF WORK TASK 1 SPECIFIC PLAN DOCUMENT Task 1.1 Specific Plan Preparation and Formatting Michael Baker’s graphics and technical editing team will convert the existing PDF of the Barton Road Specific Plan into a Microsoft Word document. We will create an updated editable version of the Specific Plan document to allow for the incorporation of edits into the Specific Plan. This task assumes development of the Microsoft Word template, incorporation of the updates to the Specific Plan into the template as directed by Michael Baker’s Senior Planner and the City. Once the draft amendments to the Specific Plan are complete and reviewed by City staff, Michael Baker will prepare a formatted document for Public Hearings. TASK 2 TECHNICAL STUDIES1 Task 2.1 Air Quality Analysis Existing Conditions/Regulatory Framework. The project is located within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Baseline meteorological and air quality data developed through the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will be utilized for the description of existing ambient air quality. Air quality data from the nearest air quality monitoring station will be included to help highlight existing air quality local to the project area. The analysis will describe and address the requirements set forth by the SCAQMD CEQA Air Quality Handbook. Construction-Related Emissions. Construction emissions will be quantified with the California Emissions Estimator Model version 2016.3.2 (CalEEMod). A general description of the major phases of construction and their timing will be required. The air pollutant emissions during construction will be compared to the SCAQMD Regional Thresholds of Significance. Naturally occurring asbestos impacts will also be qualitatively discussed. 1 The scope for the Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas, Acoustical, and Energy Analyses includes preparation of the IS/MND Section to address the applicable questions from Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. Standalone technical studies will not be prepared.

Operational (i.e., area, energy, and mobile source) emissions will be quantified with CalEEMod and the CARB EMission FACtor Model (EMFAC2017) and compared to the SCAQMD regional thresholds of significance. Primary sources of emissions will be related to local/regional vehicle miles traveled. Project consistency with the 2016 Air Quality Management Plan will also be evaluated. Localized Emissions. The project is located within the SCAQMD’s Source Receptor Area (SRA) 34 (Central San Bernardino Valley). Based on localized meteorological data for SRA 34, Michael Baker will analyze localized impacts based upon the SCAQMD’s Localized Significance Thresholds (LST) methodology. Air Emissions Health Impacts. As a result of the California Supreme Court decision for Sierra Club vs. County of Fresno (Friant Ranch L.P.), the resultant human health impacts from the project’s short-term construction and long-term operational air emissions will be analyzed. Task 2.2 Greenhouse Gas Analysis Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Michael Baker will review the land use data and will prepare an inventory of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (i.e., nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) from both direct (i.e., area and mobile sources) and indirect sources (i.e., energy/water consumption and wastewater/solid waste generation). In addition, total GHG emissions from construction activities will be amortized into the GHG emissions inventory. CalEEMod will be used to quantify GHG emissions. Reductions from recently adopted programs and regulations will be included, such as improvements in fuel efficiency, State building code energy efficiency, and water efficiency. The analysis will review project consistency with the Southern California Association of Governments 2020–2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020–2045 RTP/SCS), California Air Resources Board 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan, and other applicable plans for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. Mitigation measures will be identified and incorporated, as necessary, to reduce potentially significant GHG impacts of the proposed project. Task 2.3 Acoustical Analysis Existing Conditions. The applicable noise and land use compatibility criteria for the project area will be reviewed and noise standards regulating noise impacts will be discussed for land uses on and adjacent to the project site. A site visit will be conducted, and short-term noise level measurements will be taken along the project area. The noise monitoring survey will be conducted at up to four separate locations to establish baseline noise levels in the project area. Noise recording lengths are anticipated to require approximately 10 minutes at each location. Construction-Related Noise and Vibration. Construction would occur during implementation of the proposed project. Noise impacts from construction sources will be analyzed based on the anticipated equipment to be used, length of a specific construction task, equipment power type (gasoline or diesel engine), horsepower, load factor, and percentage of time in use. The construction noise impacts will be evaluated in terms of maximum levels (Lmax) and hourly equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) and the frequency of occurrence at adjacent sensitive locations. An analysis of vibration impacts will be based on the Federal Transit Administration’s vibration analysis guidance. Analysis requirements will be based on the sensitivity of the area, specific construction activities, and Noise Ordinance specifications. Operational Noise Sources. The project-generated off-site traffic noise levels will be compared to the applicable Noise Ordinance specifications and/or land use compatibility criteria for off-site uses. Compliance with applicable noise standards will be evaluated, with recommended mitigation measures included where appropriate. Task 2.4 Energy Analysis Michael Baker will analyze the energy implications of the project pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21100(b)(3) G.9.a Packet Pg. 168 At t a c h m e n t : M i c h a e l B a k e r P r o p o s a l - 0 3 . 1 2 . 2 1 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g S e r v i c e s ) Green’s Group Project Management Services Additional Work Request (AWR) 1 3 and Appendix G and Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines. These statutes and guidelines require a project to describe, where relevant, the wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy caused by a project. In addition, Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines requires a consistency analysis with state or local plans for renewable energy or energy efficiency. The analysis will analyze energy consumption associated with short-term construction activities, long- term operations, buildings, and transportation using CalEEMod based on the project’s land use data The analysis will also discuss the effects of the project on regional and local energy supply, demand, and resources, and the project’s consistency with energy standards and requirements. Task 2.6 Cultural Resources Record Search2 Michael Baker will complete a record search with the South-Central Coastal Information Center for a ½-mile radius around the Specific Plan area, literature and historic map review, and historical society consultation. The intent of the above- mentioned cultural resources identification efforts is to determine if there are previously identified historical resources, as defined in Section 15064.5(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act, within the plan area. The findings of the cultural and tribal cultural resources identification efforts will be summarized in a memo report that can be appended to the IS/MND and utilized during the tribal consultation process. Task 2.5 VMT Assessment A vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis will be conducted to support the CEQA process transportation metric. The VMT analysis will be based on the City-specific VMT guidance. Scoping Agreement. Michael Baker will coordinate the scope of the VMT analysis with City staff responsible for reviewing the analysis by preparing a VMT scoping memorandum. Specific details of the study scope that will be coordinated include initial screening results, trip generation analysis, study scenarios, modeling assumptions, and methodologies. The scoping agreement will be coordinated prior to initiation of any travel demand modeling work. Trip Generation Analysis. Michael Baker will conduct a trip generation analysis for the proposed Project using the Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 10th Edition Supplement or latest edition), or other data source as directed by City staff. The trip generation analysis will estimate the estimated number of project trips during the weekday, AM Peak Hour, and PM Peak Hour. Trip distributions and assignments will not be included in the analysis and instead it will focus on the number of project trips excluding pass-by trips. Project Screening. Michael Baker will examine the screening criteria to determine if the project can be determined to have a less than significant impact based on project location, size, or land use type. The project screening will include the use the screening tool. An initial review indicates that the project will not screen out and therefore, the project will require a VMT assessment. VMT Assessment. Michael Baker will utilize a contractor (Translutions) to conduct the travel demand model runs and VMT calculations. This scope of work assumes the modeling of one land use scenario for the full build-out condition. Additional scenarios may be evaluated as a separate task for an additional fee. Model Runs. Translutions will modify the RIVTAM to include the Project socio-economic data. Model runs will be conducted to calculate the VMT. This task will be conducted using the base and future year models. It is not anticipated that significant circulation network edits outside the Specific Plan area will be required as part of this task. It is assumed that four (4) Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) will be modified to accommodate the Specific Plan land use. 2 The local information centers are currently experiencing extended turnaround times for records search requests. Michael Baker will notify the City of the expected turnaround time once the records search is submitted to the information center.

This task will calculate the base and future modeled VMT for comparison. The model will also be modified so that the Project forms several discrete TAZs. Based on the requirements, VMT calculations for the following scenarios will be conducted: • Base Year without project • Future Year without project • Base Year with project (Proposed SP, Project Effect) • Base Year Project VMT (Proposed SP) • Future Year with project (Proposed SP, Project Effect) • Future Year Project VMT (Proposed SP) Determination of Impacts. The VMT analysis results will be compared to thresholds of significance to determine if impacts are anticipated. If required, the project will identify Transportation Demand Management (TDM) elements to help reduce reliance on autos or provide means by which to shorten vehicle trips in order to mitigate any Project transportation impacts. The VMT reductions will be based on California Air Pollutions Control Officers Association (CAPCOA) Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures (2010) report and will be clearly documented in the memorandum. Modifying the project characteristics (land use type and size) as a mitigation option may be considered, however the associated analysis would require separate task for an additional fee. Technical Memorandum. The VMT analysis will be summarized in a technical memorandum. This scope of work includes a total of two electronic submittals of the VMT technical memorandum (one draft report for City review and one final report with City comments addressed). Task 2.7 SCS Analysis (Optional Task) It appears that the previously approved project doesn’t appear to be part of the SCS. Since the future analysis is based on the approved SCS (which should have included the approved project), Translutions will modify the RIVTAM to include the project socioeconomic data as well as those of the approved plan for the following scenarios: • Base Year with project (Current SP, Project Effect) • Base Year Project VMT (Current SP) • Future Year with project (Current SP, Project Effect) • Future Year Project VMT (Current SP) The VMT comparison will be based on several metrics, including comparison of base year VMT with “Project” VMT. A comparison of the impacts of the existing Specific Plan with the proposed Specific Plan in terms of VMT changes will be provided to evaluate the VMT per capita (or employment). In addition, project VMT (per capita, population served, and employee) for the approved project will be compared to the VMT (per capita, population served, and employee) of the proposed project to identify if the proposed project increases VMT from the approved plan. This task assumes the same TAZs as the VMT Analysis task. This task is only anticipated if the comparison analysis in the main task shows a significant impact. Task 3: Initial Study / Mitigated Negative Declaration Task 3.1 : Administrative Draft IS/MND Michael Baker will prepare a draft project description for the proposed Specific Plan amendments for review and comment G.9.a Packet Pg. 170 At t a c h m e n t : M i c h a e l B a k e r P r o p o s a l - 0 3 . 1 2 . 2 1 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g S e r v i c e s ) Green’s Group Project Management Services Additional Work Request (AWR) 1 5 by City staff. After receiving comments and making the appropriate changes, we will submit a revised version of the project description, which will be the basis for the project’s environmental analysis and project technical studies. Using the City’s latest CEQA Initial Study Checklist format, Michael Baker will prepare a Screencheck Draft IS/MND for review by City staff. The IS will provide written responses to each question on the Environmental Checklist that describe and qualitatively and/or quantitatively evaluate the project’s impact related to each topic. Each response will include a conclusion regarding the significance of the project’s impact, which may be determined to be potentially significant, potentially significant unless mitigated, less than significant, or nonexistent (i.e., no impact). The analysis conducted to support such conclusions will meet or exceed industry standards and will consider all applicable environmental regulations and policies as well as guidance provided by responsible, trustee, and oversight agencies. In accordance with Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, this section will include a detailed review of the following issues: • Aesthetics • Land Use/Planning • Agriculture and Forestry Resources • Mineral Resources • Air Quality • Noise • Biological Resources • Population/Housing • Cultural Resources • Public Services • Energy • Recreation • Geology/Soils • Transportation • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Tribal Cultural Resources • Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Utilities/Service Systems • Hydrology/Water Quality • Wildfire Each response will include a conclusion regarding the significance of the project’s impact, which may be determined to be potentially significant, potentially significant unless mitigated, less than significant, or no impact. The analysis conducted to support such conclusions will meet or exceed industry standards and will consider applicable environmental regulations and policies as well as guidance provided by responsible, trustee, and oversight agencies. Michael Baker will submit the Screencheck Draft IS/MND to the City for review and comment. In the event that the IS results in a finding that the project will result in a significant impact that cannot be mitigated, Michael Baker will work with the City to develop the appropriate CEQA approach. Task 3.2: Draft IS/MND After receiving the City’s comments on the Screencheck Draft IS and making the appropriate changes, Michael Baker will prepare a Screencheck version of the IS for the City’s consideration. We assume that the screencheck version will adequately address any substantive comments which the City had and that the City’s comments on the screencheck version will be limited to edits and clarifications of final points. Michael Baker will address such final edits/clarifications and prepare a final version of the IS. Task 3.3: Final IS/MND Responses to Comments Michael Baker will respond to environmental comments received on the Draft IS/MND during the public review period. Michael Baker will prepare thorough, reasoned, and sensitive responses to relevant environmental issues. The Draft Responses to Comments will be prepared for review by City Staff and submitted electronically. Michael Baker will submit an electronic “proofcheck copy” of the revised Responses to Comments, which will incorporate one complete set of G.9.a Packet Pg. 171 At t a c h m e n t : M i c h a e l B a k e r P r o p o s a l - 0 3 . 1 2 . 2 1 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g S e r v i c e s ) Green’s Group Project Management Services Additional Work Request (AWR) 1 6 comments received the City. It is assumed that substantive comments will be received as part of the initial review and any additional comments to the proofcheck document will be minimal. Upon receipt of comments on the proofcheck draft, Michael Baker will prepare the Final Responses to Comments. It is noted that the extent of public and agency comments resulting from the review process is currently unknown. We have conservatively budgeted this task based upon our understanding of the project and assume only minor supplemental technical support may be necessary. Should the level of comments exceed our estimate or require more substantial technical analysis, Michael Baker will advise the City and submit an additional funding request. Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program Michael Baker will prepare a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which will provide a basis for monitoring identified mitigation measures during and upon project implementation. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist will serve as the foundation of the MMRP for the proposed project. The Checklist indicates the mitigation measure number as outlined in the Initial Study, a list of Mitigation Measures/Conditions of Approval (in chronological order under the appropriate topic), the Monitoring Milestone (at what agency/department responsible for verifying implementation of the measure), Method of Verification (documentation, field checks, etc.), and a verification section for the initials of the verifying individual date of verification, and pertinent remarks. Completion of the Final IS/MND If necessary, Michael Baker will prepare an Errata to the Public Review Draft document for City review and approval. The Errata will be a stand-alone document identifying any revised text in strikethrough and underline, as necessary to address comments received on the Public Review Draft document. The Final IS/MND will be comprised of the Responses to Comments, Errata, and MMRP. Task 3.4: CEQA Noticing Michael Baker will prepare for City the project CEQA Notices, as outlined below. The Notices will be distributed via certified mail to the State Clearinghouse and all responsible, trustee, and interested agencies, community groups, and individuals. All distribution will be based upon a City-provided distribution list. This scope assumes that the City will be responsible for distributing any required radius mailing or newspaper notices. • Notice of Availability/Notice of Intent (NOA/NOI) - Michael Baker will prepare the NOA/NOI for the project to initiate the 30-day public review period. This scope includes distribution of the NOA/NOI to 25 recipients. • Notice of Completion (NOC) - Michael Baker will prepare the NOC for submittal to the State Clearinghouse at the onset of the 30-day NOA/NOI public review period. The NOC will be filed electronically on the State Clearinghouse CEQANet website. • Notice of Determination (NOD) - Michael Baker will prepare the NOD to be filed with the County Clerk and State Clearinghouse within five (5) days after deciding to carry out or approve the project. This scope excludes payment of California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and County Clerk processing fees. This scope also assumes that the City will file the NOD with the County Clerk. SCHEDULE Michael Baker can proceed immediately upon written authorization to proceed. Michael Baker can submit the Administrative IS/MND within eight to ten weeks of receipt Notice to Proceed.

City and Consultant are sometimes hereinafter individually referred to as “Party” and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.” RECITALS A. Consultant has carried out preliminary environmental work related to a proposed amendment to the City’s Barton Road Specific Plan (“Proposed BRSP Amendment”) pursuant to a contract with the City dated May 14, 2019. B. City and Consultant now desire to enter into this Agreement to carry out further environmental review of a proposed amendment to the City’s Barton Road Specific Plan. C. Grand Terrace Municipal Code (“GTMC”) Section 3.24.180(H) authorizes the waiver of bidding requirements of Chapter 3.24 of the GTMC (“Chapter 3.24”) if the City Council determines that the cost savings would be greater if the City enters into a contract by waiving thereof than if the City utilized such bidding process. D. Pursuant to GTMC Section 3.24.180(H), the City would receive a cost savings that would be greater than if it engaged a bidding process under Chapter 3.24, because Consultant has extensive knowledge of and is familiar with the Proposed BRSP Amendment and needs along the Barton Road Specific Plan corridor; has carried out the preliminary work for the Proposed BRSP Amendment; and, consequently, Consutant would not need familiarize itself with the needs of the City related thereto and would not need to re-assess and re-analyze work that has already occurred. E. Based upon the forgoing, the City Council waived the bidding requirements of Chapter 3.24 for the services contemplated by this Agreement at its regular council meeting on April 13, 2021, and selected the Consultant to provide the services contemplated by this Agreement. F. Based upon the forgoing, pursuant to the City of Grand Terrace Municipal Code, City has authority to enter into and execute this Agreement. G. The Parties desire to formalize the selection of Consultant for performance of those services defined and described particularly in Article 1 of this Agreement and desire that the terms of that performance be as particularly defined and described herein.

ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT AND TERMINATION 7.1 California Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and governed both as to validity and to performance of the parties in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Legal actions concerning any dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of San Bernardino, State of California, or any other appropriate court in such county, and Consultant covenants and agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such court in the event of such action. In the event of litigation in a U.S. District Court, venue shall lie exclusively in the Central District of California, in the County of San Bernardino, State of California. 7.2 Disputes; Default. In the event that Consultant is in default under the terms of this Agreement, the City shall not have any obligation or duty to continue compensating Consultant for any work performed after the date of default. Instead, the City may give notice to Consultant of the default and the reasons for the default. The notice shall include the timeframe in which Consultant may cure the default. This timeframe is presumptively thirty (30) days, but may be extended, though not reduced, if circumstances warrant. During the period of time that Consultant is in default, the City shall hold all invoices and shall, when the default is cured, proceed with payment on the invoices. In the alternative, the City may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay some or all of the outstanding invoices during the period of default. If Consultant does not cure the default, the City may take necessary steps to terminate this Agreement under this Article. Any failure on the part of the City to give notice of the Consultant’s default shall not be deemed to result in a waiver of the City’s legal rights or any rights arising out of any provision of this Agreement. 7.3 Retention of Funds. Consultant hereby authorizes City to deduct from any amount payable to Consultant (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) (i) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute hereunder or which are necessary to compensate City for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts for which City may be liable to third parties, by reason of Consultant’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform Consultant’s obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by Consultant, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the Consultant to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.

The Project is located within the SCAQMD’s Source Receptor Area (“SRA”) 34 (Central San Bernardino Valley). Based on localized meteorological data for SRA 34, Consultant shall analyze localized impacts based upon the SCAQMD’s Localized Significance Thresholds (“LST”) methodology. Air Emissions Health Impacts. As a result of the California Supreme Court decision for Sierra Club vs. County of Fresno (Friant Ranch L.P.), Consultant shall analyze the resultant human health impacts from the Project’s short-term construction and long-term operational air emissions. (2) Task 2.2 – Green House Gas Analysis. Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Consultant shall review the land use data and will prepare an inventory of the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions (i.e., nitrous oxide, methane, and carbon dioxide) from both direct (i.e., area and mobile sources) and indirect sources (i.e., energy/water consumption and wastewater/solid waste generation). In addition, total GHG emissions from construction activities shall be amortized into the GHG emissions inventory. CalEEMod will be used to quantify GHG emissions. Reductions from recently adopted programs and regulations shall be included, such as improvements in fuel efficiency, State building code energy efficiency, and water efficiency. This analysis shall review Project consistency with the Southern California Association of Governments 2020–2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020–2045 RTP/SCS), California Air Resources Board 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan, and other applicable plans for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. Mitigation measures shall be identified and incorporated, as necessary, to reduce potentially significant GHG impacts of the Project. (3) Task 2.3 – Acoustical Analysis. Existing Conditions. Consultant shall review the applicable noise and land use compatibility criteria for the Project and noise standards regulating noise impacts shall be discussed for land uses on and adjacent to the Project site. Consultant, in coordination with the City, shall conduct a Project site visit, and Consultant shall take short-term noise level measurements along the Project area.

The VMT analysis will be based on the City-specific VMT guidance. Scoping Agreement. Consultant shall coordinate the scope of the VMT analysis with City staff responsible for reviewing the analysis by preparing a VMT scoping memorandum. Specific details of the study scope that shall be coordinated include, but are not limited to, initial screening results, trip generation analysis, study scenarios, modeling assumptions, and methodologies. The scoping agreement shall be coordinated prior to initiation of any travel demand modeling work. Trip Generation Analysis. Consultant shall conduct a trip generation analysis for the Project using the Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 10th Edition Supplement or latest edition), or other data source as directed by City staff. The trip generation analysis shall estimate the estimated number of project trips during the weekday, AM Peak Hour, and PM Peak Hour. Trip distributions and assignments will not be included in the analysis and instead it will focus on the number of project trips excluding pass-by trips. Project Screening. Consultant shall examine the screening criteria to determine if the Project can be determined to have a less than significant impact based on project location, size, or land use type. The Project screening shall include the use the screening tool. Consultant’s initial review indicates that the Project will not screen out and therefore, the Project will require a VMT assessment. VMT Assessment. Consultant shall utilize a subconsultant (Translutions) to conduct the travel demand model runs and VMT calculations. This scope of work assumes the modeling of one land use scenario for the full build- out condition. Additional scenarios may be evaluated as a separate task for an additional fee. Model Runs. Consultant, through Translutions, shall modify the SBTAM to include the Project socio-economic data. Model runs shall be conducted to calculate the VMT. This task shall be conducted using the base and future year models. It is not anticipated that significant circulation network edits outside the Specific Plan area will be required as part of this task. It is assumed that four (4) Traffic Analysis Zones (“TAZs”) will be modified to accommodate the Specific Plan land use.

This task shall calculate the base and future modeled VMT for comparison. The model will also be modified so that the Project forms several discrete TAZs. Based on the requirements, VMT calculations for the following scenarios will be conducted: • Base Year without Project • Future Year without Project • Base Year with project (Proposed Specific Plan Amendment, Project Effect) • Base Year Project VMT (Proposed Specific Plan Amendment) • Future Year with project (Proposed Specific Plan Amendment, Project Effect) • Future Year Project VMT (Proposed Specific Plan Amendment) Determination of Impacts. The VMT analysis results shall be compared to thresholds of significance to determine if impacts are anticipated. If required, the Project shall identify Transportation Demand Management (“TDM”) elements to help reduce reliance on autos or provide means by which to shorten vehicle trips in order to mitigate any Project transportation impacts. The VMT reductions shall be based on California Air Pollutions Control Officers Association (“CAPCOA”) Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Measures (2010) report and will be clearly documented in the memorandum. Modifying the Project characteristics (land use type and size) as a mitigation option may be considered, however the associated analysis would require separate task for an additional fee. Technical Memorandum. Consultant shall summarize the VMT analysis in a technical memorandum. Consultant shall submit a total of two electronic submittals of the VMT technical memorandum to the City (one draft report for City review and one final report with City comments addressed). (7) OPTIONAL Task 2.7 – SCS Analysis.

Introduction A. Purpose of the Plan Over the years, the Barton Road corridor has evolved into a mixed-use area defined by a variety of commercial, office, service, and residential land uses. The quality and condition of existing structures varies from exemplary contemporary projects to substandard and visibly deteriorating areas. The dominant use along the corridor is strip commercial that has developed over the years in a disjointed, incremental manner. Residential uses comprise a significant amount of the Specific Plan area and are found generally in the form of single-family homes, some of which have been converted to commercial/office uses. Multi-family uses are predominant in eastern end of the Plan Area south of Barton Road. Concern was documented during preparation of the City's General Plan in 1988 that the Barton Road commercial corridor was developing in an unplanned, disjointed manner and that unless the area was comprehensively planned for the future; the full economic potential of the corridor may not be realized. Of equal concern was the present physical appearance of the area and the need to upgrade its' image as Grand Terrace's "downtown". The original Barton Road Specific Plan was approved in 1990 and has been periodically amended to address specific development issues associated with individual projects. In 2002, it was determined that the Specific Plan required a comprehensive review to determine its consistency with current State planning law and its ability to address current and future need of the community. This need was supplemented by changing economic conditions and acceptable development concepts that affect potential development within the Plan area. The purpose of this Specific Plan document and the associated "BRSP" Barton Road- Specific Plan Zoning District is to assure the systematic implementation of the City of Grand Terrace's General Plan within the Specific Plan area as shown in Exhibit 1. To fulfill this purpose, the document provides a comprehensive plan of land use, development regulations, design guidelines, development incentives and other related actions aimed at implementing the goals and objectives set forth in the Plan. Upon adoption by ordinance of the City Council, this plan constitutes the legally established zoning for properties within the plan area. Moreover, it establishes certain development regulations, standards, and guidelines within the Barton Road corridor. This document supercedes all previous specific plans, technical master plans or similar documents related to properties within the Specific Plan area. B. Project Location The Specific Plan encompasses approximately a 1.3-mile long corridor along Barton Road extending from the Riverside Freeway (Interstate 215), on the west, to the intersection of Barton Road and Victoria Street on the east. Major intersecting streets include, from west to east; Michigan Street, Canal Street, Mt. Vernon Avenue, and Preston Street (see Exhibit I, Specific Plan Area Map).

Planning Areas The primary land use along the corridor is commercial with some office and residential uses (see Exhibit 2, Existing Land Use Map). The corridor functions as Grand Terrace's "downtown” and primary commercial center. City Hall is located near the eastern end of the corridor. For these reasons, the quality and image of the area are extremely important to the City and its residents. D. Authority California Government Code Sections 65450 through 65457 provide the necessary authorization for the City of Grand Terrace to prepare and adopt this Specific Plan. Hearings are required by both the Planning Commission and City Council. Following these hearings, the Specific Plan is adopted by the Council either by resolution as policy or by ordinance as regulation. Due to the regulatory nature of this Plan, it has been adopted by ordinance. E. Relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan This Specific Plan has been prepared in compliance with the goals and policies of the City of Grand Terrace General Plan. The Specific Plan is designed to implement the General Plan’s various elements including Land Use and Circulation, among others. All proposed development projects found to be consistent with the Specific Plan shall also be deemed consistent with the City’s General Plan. The Specific Plan may be amended as many times as necessary to further the systematic implementation of the General Plan. F. Project Consistency with the Specific Plan The Barton Road Specific Plan is a regulatory plan that will serve as zoning law for properties within the boundaries of the Plan as depicted in Exhibit I. All administrative and discretionary development approvals must be consistent with this Specific Plan. These approvals include, but are not limited to the following: Subdivisions and parcel maps Conditional Use Permits Site and Architectural Review Land Use Permits Master Development Plans Development Agreements G.9.c Packet Pg. 214 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g BARTON RD.

Land Use Plan A. Opportunities and Constraints As with any physical development program, especially in an area that has already experienced urban development, certain aspects of the environment act as constraints to the achievement of desired development goals while others offer opportunities which can be taken advantage of to promote the types of development envisioned for the area. The original Barton Road Specific Plan preparation included an analysis of the existing physical conditions of the plan area. Based upon that analysis, the following list of opportunities and constraints was prepared. 1. Development of quality commercial and office uses will be encouraged. 2. Incremental development of strip commercial uses on small lots will be strongly discouraged as will be the conversion of residential units to commercial or office uses. 3. The overall physical image of the area requires upgrading in order to attract and maintain quality development. 4. Existing General Plan land use designations and zoning should remain basically the same, but site development standards will change to achieve higher quality development and discourage strip-type development. 5. A variety of incentive programs will be necessary in order to achieve the desired level of quality development envisioned for by the City. When combined with public policy input (goals and objectives), the opportunities and constraints become the ingredients used in formulating the overall direction of the Specific Plan. The identified opportunities and constraints are as follows: Opportunities Capitalize on existing physical features and land uses that contribute to and reinforce a feeling of low density and pedestrian scale along the corridor. Implement a programmatic land use plan and urban design theme, which establishes a "village" character and provides Grand Terrace's downtown with a "sense of place". Recapture retail sales leakage to surrounding communities, including both local and community level goods and services with an emphasis on quality. Encourage the merger and development of small, underutilized properties along the corridor, especially west of Canal Street and at the northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon Avenue. Preserve, whenever possible, significant existing trees along the corridor and emphasize the provision of trees in new development.

Corridor lacks a sense of place. Lack of pedestrian areas and amenities, including plazas, courtyards, public parks, cultural or entertainment features. Location of existing potentially conflicting residential land uses and trailer park. Lack of freeway- and travel-related commercial land uses, such as family restaurants. Lack of a consistent and continuous urban design and landscape theme. Image of private developments requires upgrading. Majority of parcels are fragmented and under individual ownership. Many of the lots are of a long, narrow configuration, which is difficult to develop without merger with adjoining parcels. Conversion of single-family residences to office/commercial uses constrains higher quality development. Image of corridor is fragmented in terms of uses, setbacks, landscaping, right- of-way improvements and architectural style. Existing commercial centers in adjacent cities (Colton, Loma Linda) draw local market and its sales dollars. B. Goals, Objectives and Policies The purpose of this section is to articulate the Goals, Objectives, and Polices for the Barton Road Specific Plan and begin the foundation for subsequent sections of this Plan. GOALS: Broad statements that define the community's hope for the future. They are general in nature and do not indicate when and how these goals are to be accomplished. OBJECTIVES: Statements of intent that generally guide future decisions in specific topic areas. POLICIES: More specific statements of intent to deal with particular topics in a certain fashion. They begin to define the approach to achieve the Plan objectives, and are the first step in the development of a solution by forming the basis of standards and regulations.

In an effort to further define and prioritize this overall goal statement, the following Community Design, Land Use/Economic, Circulation, Environmental, and Infrastructure goals and objectives are provided. COMMUNITY DESIGN GOAL: Create the community design image that expresses and enhances a unique "village" scale, character and identity for Grand Terrace. OBJECTIVES: Provide a pedestrian-oriented circulation system that identifies a "village" center or downtown. Provide an entry statement at Interstate 215 and Barton Road intersection that enhances the village orientation of the community. Promote compatible building elevations that provide transition at, or linkages between, commercial, and residential areas while protecting adjoining established residential neighborhoods. Through continued implementation of the City street tree program, promote contemporary landscape treatments throughout the corridor. The landscaping should be of a drought-tolerant, low-maintenance nature and able to withstand occasional high winds and intense urban conditions, such as smog and automobile exhaust. Provide for the elimination or screening of visually objectionable views such as outdoor storage, utility cabinets, trash bins, roof-mounted equipment, blank side walls, recycling equipment, and loading areas through the implementation of design guidelines. POLICIES: Develop consistent streetscape and architectural palettes that are sensitive to the creation of a "village" statement for Barton Road. (It is not the intent of this thematic requirement to discourage innovative or contemporary architectural expressions or to imitate the architecture of the past, but to promote the harmonious coexistence of architectural styles varying from restoration to contemporary architectural themes.) Require compliance with the community design guidelines in plans for new development or expansion or redevelopment of existing development; incorporate community design as a major consideration in site plan review and approval. Utilize landscape materials on private property that are clean, safe, wind resistant, and relatively low maintenance. Informal landscape forms should be utilized in the corridor to emphasize the "village" atmosphere and scale.

Of particular interest are passive solar techniques such as building overhangs, arcades, awnings and extra tree plantings, especially in parking lot areas. Consideration should be given to special paving materials used in place of asphalt in vehicular areas. Provide incentives to expedite removal of signs that do not conform to the regulations of this Specific Plan. Consider economic incentives for owners who wish to architecturally rehabilitate, refurbish, or upgrade landscaping on existing properties. Designate special on-site landscape and architectural features at the Mt. Vernon/Barton Road intersection location, combining thematic plantings with complementary architectural statements designed to promote a distinctive thematic character for this activity node. Changes in paving materials, plant materials, lighting, signing, and sizing of adjacent structures should occur at this intersection to enhance its distinctiveness. Require that new development be sensitive to significant mature trees and views of natural landforms, such as Blue Mountain. LAND USE/ECONOMIC GOAL: Develop a Specific Plan that is responsive to community land use and fiscal needs. OBJECTIVES: Maximize the economic position of the Barton Road commercial activities, capturing neighborhood, sub-regional, as well as travel-related demand. Sales tax-generating uses should be emphasized. Promote distinctive commercial clusters (versus strip commercial) that are sensitive to a village-scale. Require master planning at key sites within the Specific Plan area to assure integrated development utilizing coordinated access, parking, building orientation/location, pedestrian and transit facilities. Encourage a mixed-use (retail/office) development concept to add variety throughout the commercial corridor. Ensure the gradual upgrade of underutilized parcels functioning at less than their market potential. Encourage consolidation of elongated parcels and improve vehicular access to deep lots along the corridor. Focus on attracting new commercial uses through economic development activities. POLICIES: Establish regulations and provide incentive bonuses that promote pedestrian oriented plazas and courtyards; encourage active retail commercial uses at key intersections along Barton Road. Prepare development regulations and guidelines that clarify the expectations of the City in terms of quality development. Establish regulations that assure compatibility of new commercial uses with the "village" design concept while employing specific, well- designed-buffers from adjacent residential development.

Establish redevelopment programs to assist business with property improvements. Develop incentives/regulations to encourage priority village oriented land uses at the Mt. Vernon/Barton Road intersection. Encourage the development of superior architectural and site planning design which, in time, will create an image of regional magnitude for Barton Road that attracts quality-oriented specialty shops as well as additional shoppers. Establish land uses that complement existing village orientation within the Specific Plan area. CIRCULATION GOAL: Maintain a circulation system that facilitates efficient, safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic and enhances the community design character along Barton Road. OBJECTIVES: Limit and/or consolidate vehicular access points onto Barton Road. Develop a mixture of land uses that reduce home/work trips within the corridor and the City. Provide for and phase necessary infrastructure improvements, such as under grounding utilities and landscaping to maximize the efficiency of traffic as well as add to the aesthetic quality of Barton Road. Encourage use of local transit programs wherever possible and enhance use of bus facilities. POLICIES: Establish the placement of bus shelters and bus turnouts to assist traffic safety and efficiency. Require pedestrian-oriented amenities at key activity nodes through private development improvements. Reduce the number of vehicular trips between individual sites that must use Barton Road by requiring private projects to secure reciprocal parking access agreements prior to development. Shared parking and access will facilitate efficient parcel usage and minimize traffic support facilities such as drives, parking spaces, etc. Discourage new developments from taking primary access from residential streets, by developing internal circulation systems that direct traffic away from adjacent neighborhoods.

OBJECTIVES: Establish regulations that preserve significant environmental features, such as mature trees and views of local mountains within the Barton Road corridor. Through the project approval process and the imposition of conditions or mitigation measures, ensure that all development within the Specific Plan area will not decrease environmental quality, and will wherever possible create a higher quality environment. POLICIES: Prepare a map of significant trees that may be considered for preservation. Require all new development to meet General Plan environmental regulations. Of particular concern are noise, lighting, and traffic impacts upon adjoining residential properties generated by commercial uses. INFRASTRUCTURE GOAL: Maintain a high level of public services and facilities to all businesses along Barton Road. OBJECTIVE: Coordinate all development activity with the construction of public infrastructure. POLICIES: Require that all public services and facilities be available or that other financial arrangements be instituted prior to issuing building permits. As a condition of approval, require developers to install needed public improvements, such as street lighting, landscaping, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters adjacent to their property during the first phase of development. Require that all utilities be installed underground as a condition of development approval.

Project-wide Planning Standards 1. Comprehensive Land Use Plan The primary concepts upon which preparation of the Land Use Plan are based are 1) the retention and upgrading of appropriate existing uses within the corridor, and 2) the expansion of opportunities for new quality development. In addition, the Plan is based on the following more specific planning concepts and ideas concerning the desired future for the Barton Road corridor. Heavier, general commercial uses and uses serving freeway motorists are appropriate near the freeway (Planning Area 1) while less intensive commercial (specialty) retail uses are more appropriate within the "village" atmosphere provided for in Planning Area 2. Moving further away from the freeway, office uses are provided for in Planning Area 3 (refer to Exhibit 3, Planning Area Map). The Barton Road corridor functions as the City's "downtown" commercial core. As such, its' image needs to be upgraded to reflect this important role in the community. Strip commercial development on small, disaggregated lots does not lend itself to the image, scale, or function desired for the Barton Road corridor. The conversion of residential structures to commercial/office uses needs to be regulated in such a way as to ensure compatibility with surrounding development and the over-all image and function of the corridor. The consolidation of small parcels needs to be required and "incentives" provided for exceptional consolidation schemes. 2. Project Wide Planning Standards Master Plan Areas The intent of a master development plan is to provide a tool to initiate pre- development planning in areas consisting of multiple ownerships and lots with narrow street frontages in order to avoid strip commercial development with its typical proliferation of curb cuts, signs, parking in the front of buildings, and general lack of visual and functional continuity.

This area is characterized by numerous deep narrow lots with many existing driveways. The following special development regulations shall apply to Master Plan Area 1. In addition, two Development Concept Plans have been prepared for the area to guide future development. The concept plans are not mandatory, but provide potential developers and property owners with guidance as to the City's intent for the area (see Exhibit 4, Master Plan Area No. 1 – Development Concept Plan). a) Minimum street frontage -The minimum street frontage for any development site in Master Plan Area No 1. shall be 300 feet under single ownership. b) In lieu of providing 300 feet of street frontage under single ownership, an applicant may participate with adjoining property owners to prepare a master development plan, which encompasses a minimum of 300 feet of street frontage. The plan shall indicate how development of the proposed site integrates the various properties into a single comprehensively planned area. The plan shall contain, at a minimum, all of the components listed under item 10 of the General Provisions section. Development of individual parcels may only proceed in accordance with the approved master development plan. c) Front yard setback -A 25-foot front yard setback from Barton Road is required except as provided in item 3 below. The setback area shall be landscaped with a combination of rolling berms, low walls, clusters of trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Monument signs may encroach to within 5 feet of the front property line. Parking may not encroach into the front setback area. d) Street adjacent buildings -For each master planned development, a minimum of 35 percent of the street frontage along Barton Road shall be occupied by buildings located within 20 feet of the front property line. e) Lot consolidation bonus - Development applicants who successfully consolidate properties under different ownerships may be eligible to receive development bonuses in the form of relaxations of development regulations and/or processing fees. Lot consolidation bonuses are discussed in a later part of this section. f) The following regulations and standards are in addition to, and/or supersede, other regulations in this Specific Plan whenever a Master Development Plan is required.

The Director’s decision to require a Master Development Plan may be appealed to the Planning Commission. These areas may include the following: Master Plan Area 2 – North side of Barton Road between Michigan Street and Canal Street Master Plan Area 3 – Northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon Avenue Immediate properties surrounding the Barton Road/Mt. Vernon Avenue intersection. Although a Master Development Plan may not be required for proposed development within these designated areas, the following design guidelines should be implemented. Master Plan Area 2 The following special development regulations shall apply to Master Plan Area 2. 1) Minimum street frontage - If lots are consolidated, the minimum street frontage for any development site in Master Plan Area No.2 should be 300 feet under single ownership. In lieu of providing 300 feet of street frontage that is under single ownership, an individual property owner may be required to participate with adjoining property owners in reciprocal access easements designed to reduce the total number of driveways on Barton Road, as described under item a (1) above and the General Provisions section. 2) Front Yard setback - The minimum front yard setback in Master Plan Area 2 shall be 20 feet. Signs may encroach to within 5 feet of the front property line. Parking should not encroach into the required setback area. The entire setback area shall be landscaped. 3) Lot consolidation bonus - Development applicants who successfully consolidate properties under different ownerships may be eligible to receive development bonuses in the form of relaxations of development regulations and/or processing fees as determined appropriate by the Planning Commission. Master Plan Area 3 The following specific development regulations shall apply to Master Plan Area 3. 1) Street adjacent buildings required - Buildings may be located to within 5 feet of street right-of-way lines along Barton Road and Mt. Vernon Avenue within 100 feet of the corner. 2) Lot consolidation bonus - Development applicants who successfully consolidate properties under different ownerships may be eligible to receive development bonuses in the form of relaxations of development regulations and/or processing fees as determined appropriate by the Planning Commission.

Both areas currently contain mixed uses on several small often odd shaped parcels. The purpose of these Master Plans is to provide for quality cohesive office/commercial developments while limiting the number of driveways on Barton and promoting the efficient use of land through shared parking. Master Plan Area 4 Master Plan Area 4 is located at the northeast corner of the Barton Road and Palm Avenue, west of City Hall. The area is currently developed as mixed uses including offices, single family and multi-family residential, and vacant property. Proposed projects should be compatible with those of the Civic Center. Master Plan Area 5 Master Plan Area 5 is located at the southwest corner of Barton Road and Preston Street. The area is characterized by limited office/commercial uses and multi-family development. The proposed Master Plan will provide a design guideline that addresses the efficient development of mixed commercial and office professional uses and serve as an eastern gateway to the community. Development in both Master Plan Areas 4 and 5 shall be consistent with the design standards and permitted land uses of the Office Professional Zone. Lot consolidation, reciprocal access, and reciprocal parking shall be encouraged. If development of individual lots is proposed, the project will be evaluated based upon its ability to ultimately blend with existing and proposed adjacent parcel development to create a cohesive project. 3. Project Wide Design Guidelines All commercial and office development (new and rehabilitation) located within the Barton Road Corridor Specific Plan area is subject to the design guidelines/standards contained herein. The design guidelines will serve as general standards that should be used for design review when either of the following actions occur: Any new development Any major addition or enlargement of an existing structure or use GENERAL ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT The following section provides numerous written and illustrated design directions related to the basic quality of commercial building, architecture, color, and scale. This portion of the Specific Plan addresses each of these elements in general terms and establishes the basic principles, which are expanded upon in much more detail through the application of the following "specific architectural guidelines and standards". This section "paints the overall picture" for the design principles felt to be important in Grand Terrace. They should not be viewed as standing alone but rather in concert with the more specific guidelines found in the subsequent section of these guidelines. G.9.c Packet Pg. 227 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 18 Each guideline should be considered for how it applies to a given project in creating a "village" atmosphere. The illustrated examples are intended as images, which communicate ideas and should not be viewed as design solutions necessitating strict adherence. 1. Desirable Elements The qualities and design elements for commercial buildings (including offices) on Barton Road that are potentially most desirable include: richness of surface and texture significant wall articulation (insets, canopies, wing walls, arcades, trellises, porches, dormers, etc.) multi-planed, pitched roofs roof overhangs regular or traditional window rhythm articulated mass and bulk interesting and articulated wall surfaces wood siding, wood shingles (wall) brick and stucco accents (wall) wood shingles and tile (roof) 2. Undesirable Elements Potentially undesirable elements include: highly reflective surfaces large blank, unarticulated stucco wall surfaces unpainted concrete precision block walls reflective glass corrugated metal siding on the main façade plastic siding irregular, modernistic window shapes and rhythm square "boxlike" buildings standing seam metal walls on the main façade mix of unrelated styles (i.e. rustic wood shingles and polished chrome) 3. Exterior Wall Materials Palette The following palette of exterior wall materials is strongly encouraged: wood siding (horizontal or vertical or diagonal) wood shake river cobble slate brick (natural colors) stucco (as an accent only, extensive use not appropriate) clay tile (natural colors) G.9.c Packet Pg. 228 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 19 The following materials are discouraged as primary exterior wall materials: natural, unfinished concrete stucco corrugated metal reflective glass standing seam metal walls plywood (painted or otherwise) corrugated Fiberglass illuminated sidings and awnings plastic laminate un-milled, bare aluminum painted white brick unpainted concrete block/precision block 4. Height Building heights should relate to open spaces to allow maximum sun and ventilation, protection from prevailing winds, enhance public views of surrounding rural hillsides and minimize obstruction of view from adjoining structures. Height and scale of new development should be compatible with that of surrounding development. New development height should "transition" from the height of adjacent development to the maximum height of the proposed building. G.9.c Packet Pg. 229 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 20 5. Bulk Large buildings which give the appearance of "square box" buildings are generally unattractive and detract from the overall scale of most buildings along Barton Road. There are several ways to reduce the appearance of excessive bulk in large buildings. Vary the planes of the exterior walls in depth and/or direction. Vary the height of the buildings so that it appears to be divided into distinct massing elements. Articulate the different parts of a building's facade by use of color, arrangement of facade elements, or a change in materials. Use landscaping and architectural detailing at the ground level to lessen the impact of an otherwise bulky building. Avoid blank walls at the ground floor levels. Utilize windows, trellises, wall articulation, arcades, change in materials, or other features. 6. Scale For purposes of this plan, “scale” is the relationship between building size and the size of adjoining permanent structures. It is also how the proposed building's size relates to the size of a human being. Large scale building elements may appear imposing if they are situated in a visual environment of a smaller scale as is typical in along Barton Road. The key idea here is "pedestrian scale". G.9.c Packet Pg. 230 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 21 Building scale can be reduced through window patterns, structural bays, roof overhangs, siding, awnings, moldings, fixtures, and other details. The scale of buildings should be carefully related to adjacent pedestrian areas (i.e. plazas, courtyards) and buildings. Large dominating buildings should be broken up by: 1) creating horizontal emphasis through the use of trim; 2) adding awnings, eaves, windows, or other architectural ornamentation; 3) use of combinations of complementary colors; and 4) landscape materials. Utilize "infill" structures to create transitions in bulk and scale between large buildings and adjacent smaller buildings. 7. Color Color can dramatically affect the visual appearance of buildings and must be carefully considered in relation to the overall design intent of the building. Color can also affect the apparent scale and proportion of buildings by highlighting architectural elements such as doors, windows, fascias, cornices, lintels, and sills. Dominant Building Color -Much of the existing color in Grand Terrace is derived from the primary building's finish materials such as brick, wood, stucco, and terra cotta tile. Also dominant are earth tones which match these natural materials. The dominant color of new buildings should relate to the inherent color of the primary building's finish materials. Large areas of intense white color should be avoided. While subdued colors usually work best as a dominant overall color, a bright trim color might be appropriate if it can be shown to enhance the nearby visual environment. The color palette chosen for a building should be compatible with the colors of adjacent buildings. An exception is where the colors of adjacent buildings strongly diverge from these design guidelines. Wherever possible, minimize the number of colors appearing on the building exterior. Small commercial buildings should use no more than three colors. G.9.c Packet Pg. 231 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 22 Accent Colors- Depending on the overall color scheme, an accent color may be effective in highlighting the dominant color by providing contrast or by harmonizing with the dominant color. Primary colors shall only be used to accent building elements, such as door and window frames and architectural details. Bright or intense colors (not including fluorescent colors) can also be used to accent appropriate scale and proportion or to promote visual interest in harmony with the immediate environment. In buildings of a particular historical character or village architectural style, exterior color should be similar to typical buildings of this type. Architectural detailing should be painted to complement the facade and tie in with adjacent buildings. Accent colors for trim should be used sparingly and be limited in number for each building. Accent colors on adjacent buildings should be chosen to complement one another. Color Palette - The dominant color of new buildings constructed on Barton Road shall be similar to the inherent color of eal1htones found in the area. The following colors should not be used as primary wall colors. Aquamarine bright or hunters orange chartreuse cherry or "fire engine" red chrome yellow all day-glo colors purple turquoise fluorescent colors The following soft earthtone colors are recommended as primary wall colors: almond bluegrass brick burgundy cedar beige chamois cobblestone cordovan cream driftwood gray gray Monterey pine peacock green puce rose quartz topaz Other colors within the above color scheme may also be acceptable.

Exterior Walls Buildings shall be designed to avoid simple "boxlike" structures. Horizontal or vertical wall articulation shall be expressed through the use of full roofs, projecting wing walls, wall offsets, recessed entries, awnings, roof overhangs, second floor setbacks, or covered arcades. All building sides should be painted and contain architectural treatment previously, discussed. Freestanding buildings with walls at or less than 100 feet from a curb line should not have continuous, visually unbroken walls. The front plane of the wall shall be a maximum of sixty feet in length, at which point horizontal or vertical articulation is required. This articulation could be established through the use of varying front wall setbacks, multi-planed roofs, second floor setbacks, porches, arcades, awnings, recessed entries, wing walls, roof overhangs, etc. Freestanding buildings should exhibit a minimum of a one to one "void to solid" ratio on at least two building facades. This means that two of the walls shall be at least 50% wall to 50% window or door opening. The remaining two walls shall be articulated in some manner. 9. Windows In general require the first floor of all commercial structures to have sufficient areas of glass to give an open, public character to Barton Road in keeping with the "village" atmosphere. Large, continuous expanses of glass without careful detailing give an urban character and should be avoided. Glass areas can be subdivided by mullions, panes, or decorative millwork to reduce a window to human scale. Horizontal repetition of single window elements over long distances should be avoided. G.9.c Packet Pg. 233 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 24 To maintain a distinction between upper and lower floors, the ground level facade should have larger patterns of glass than the upper. Bay, bow and box windows can be used to add visual interest to a facade by providing variety, shadow and texture. They also become focal points for merchandising and help reduce large windows to a more human scale. The pattern, size and type of window used should be appropriate to the character of the building. Tinted glass can be used to reduce solar gain; however, deeply tinted glass which stops views into the interior should be avoided. Highly reflective glass is not appropriate. Window frames can be constructed of numerous materials including steel, anodized aluminum, wood, wood and metal and vinyl-covered wood; however, the materials and finish of the frame should be appropriate to the overall building character. Silver and gold colored aluminum frames should be avoided in favor of black or brown anodized colors. 10. Roofs The roofline at the top of the structure should not run in continuous plane for more than 100' without offsetting or jogging the roof plane. Nearly vertical roofs (A-frames) and piecemeal mansard roofs (used on a portion of the building perimeter only) are discouraged. Mansard roofs, if utilized on commercial structures, shall wrap around the entire building perimeter. All roof top equipment shall be screened from public view by screening materials of the same nature as the building's basic materials. Mechanical equipment should be located below the highest vertical element of the building. The following roof materials are not acceptable: o corrugated metal o high contrast or brightly colored glazed tile o highly reflective surfaces o illuminated roofing G.9.c Packet Pg. 234 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 25 Dormers, when appropriate to the character of the building, can be used to add interest to the roofline and to introduce natural light into the building. Roofing materials that are most appropriate to the "village" character of Barton Road are heavy wood shingles and terra cotta tile. Concrete roof tiles in neutral colors may also be appropriate. 11. Awnings General use of awnings along a row of contiguous buildings shall be restricted to awnings of the same form and location. Color of the awnings shall be consistent and a minimum eight-foot vertical clearance is required. Signage on awnings shall be permanently attached to the awnings themselves and be restricted to the awning's flap (valance) or to the end panels of angled, curved, or box awnings. Plexiglas, metal, and glossy vinyl illuminated awnings are prohibited. Canvas, treated canvas, matte finish vinyl, and fabric awnings are encouraged. Internally lit awnings are not acceptable. D. Site Planning Placement of buildings should consider the existing built context of the commercial area, the location of incompatible land uses, the location of major traffic generators, as well as an analysis of a site's characteristics and particular influences. 1. General Design Principles Buildings should be sited in a manner that will complement the adjacent buildings. Building sites should be developed in a coordinated manner to provide order and diversity and avoid a jumbled, confused development. Whenever possible, new buildings should be clustered. This creates plazas or pedestrian malls and prevents long "barracks-like" rows of buildings. When clustering is impractical, a visual link between separate buildings should be established between buildings. This link can be accomplished through the use of an arcade system, trellis, or other open structure. G.9.c Packet Pg. 235 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 26 Locate buildings and on-site circulation systems to minimize pedestrian/vehicle conflicts where possible. Link buildings to the public sidewalk where possible with textured paving, landscaping, and trellises. Recognize the importance of spaces between buildings as "outdoor rooms" on the site. Outdoor spaces should have clear, recognizable shapes that reflect careful planning and are not simply "left over" areas between buildings. Such spaces should provide pedestrian amenities such as shade, benches, fountains, etc. Freestanding, singular commercial structures should be oriented with their major entry toward the street where access is provided, whenever feasible, as well as having their major facade parallel to the street. 2. Setback Standards To ensure the functional enhancement of major streets and safety of the traveling public as it pertains to adequate visibility, approval shall not be given for any building or structure to be located within the designated building setback of a major street as established by district regulations contained in this Specific Plan. Building setback lines are established by the Barton Road Corridor Specific Plan for front, side and rear yard provisions depending on the particular land use district designation. 3. Open Space Open space for purposes of these design guidelines is considered the portion of the lot where there are no buildings, parking, or area included in required setbacks. These areas shall be either fully landscaped or hardscaped in a decorative paving material utilizing patterned/colored concrete or pavers. Open space areas shall be clustered into larger, predominant landscape areas rather than equally distributing them into areas of low impact such as at building peripheries behind a structure or areas of little impact to the public G.9.c Packet Pg. 236 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 27 view, where they are not required as a land use buffer or as a required yard setback. 4. Land Use Buffering Commercial development on properties adjoining any residential zone shall incorporate the following standards in addition to those standards already specified in the site development standards of this Specific Plan. A six-foot opaque wall shall be placed on or just inside the property line. A five foot landscape strip area will be provided on the inside of the wall. The wall should be lowered to three feet within the front setback. Evergreen trees, having a minimum size of 15 gallons, shall be planted at least 20 feet on center, depending on species, or clustered in equal amounts to screen parking or architecture. 5. Lighting Maximum height for building and freestanding lighting shall not exceed 18'. If property is adjacent to a residential area or residentially zoned property, the lighting shall be screened from these areas. Lighting shall be directed away from adjacent roadways and shall not interfere with traffic or create a safety hazard.

Site Grading Site grading must recognize existing drainage patterns, while functionally solving drainage problems that may exist or result from ground plane alterations during construction. Likewise, site grading must be sympathetic to existing land forms while providing appropriate transition of architectural elements to grade. Site grading must also provide for an uninterrupted flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic through the development. The plan must direct and provide adequate flow of surface run-off to catch basins while gracefully contouring the land to blend with existing conditions at the boundaries of the site. E. Parking and Circulation Parking lot design can be a critical factor in the success or failure of a commercial use. In considering the possibilities for developing a new parking area, a developer should analyze the following factors: ingress and egress with consideration to possible conflicts with street traffic; pedestrian and vehicular conflicts; on-site circulation and service vehicle zones; and the overall configuration and appearance of the parking area. 1. General Design Principles All commercial parking areas shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 18.6 of the Zoning Ordinance unless otherwise stated in this Specific Plan. Office and commercial parking lots and access drives should be designed utilizing the criteria shown in the following exhibits. Parking lot plans shall incorporate the following as appropriate: Dimensions for internal spacing, vehicle circulation and landscaped areas Curbing, stall marking, signing, pedestrian crossings, and other vehicular devices. Location of lighting fixtures Location of trash enclosures Location of drainage inlets G.9.c Packet Pg. 238 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 29 Location of fire hydrants Location of landscaped areas Material design of perimeter walls Utility cabinets and transformers Bike racks Spot elevations If future expansion is expected, space must be reserved for future parking. Whenever a driveway is abandoned, the owner shall remove all driveway pavements, replace the curb, and landscape the area to match the adjacent landscaping. Any on-street parking shall not count in meeting parking spaces required. Parking areas shall be separated from buildings by either a raised concrete walkway or landscaped strip with a six inch curb. Situations where parking spaces directly abut the buildings shall be avoided. Where reciprocal parking and/or access agreement are planned, show how these situations relate to the proposed development. 2. Parking Area Design All parking spaces should be clearly and permanently outlined on the surface of the parking facility. Handicapped parking stalls shall be so located that a handicapped person is not compelled to wheel or walk behind parked cars other than their own. Also, the path of travel from the parking area to the building area for handicapped persons shall not exceed a maximum slope of 1:12. Parking lot design should provide for connection to adjacent parcels where uses are compatible and said connection is practical. Locate parking area to the sides and rear of buildings whenever possible. Parking facilities shall be designed in such a manner that any vehicle on the property will be able to maneuver as necessary so that it may exit from the property traveling in a forward direction. Off-street parking facilities shall be designed so that a car within a facility will not have to enter a street to move from one location to any other location within the same parking facility. Parking areas which accommodate a significant number of vehicles should be divided into a series of connected smaller lots. Landscaping and offsetting portions of the lot are effective in reducing the visual impact of large parking areas.

Entry Location/Design Where a corner location is being developed, locate parking lot entries on side streets (or the less busy street) to maximize landscaping and minimize pedestrian/vehicular conflicts whenever possible. Design major site entries with appropriately patterned concrete or pavers to differentiate them the sidewalks. Site access points, whether located on major or side streets should be located as far as possible from street intersections 100 feet is recommended and is required at the Barton Road/Mt. Vernon Avenue intersection along Barton Road. Encourage projects to incorporate reciprocal access easements to improve internal vehicular movements. Link individual projects and parking areas with on-site driveways which are clearly identified and easily recognized as connectors. Where parking areas are connected, interior circulation should allow for a similar direction of travel and parking bays in all areas to reduce conflict at points of connection. Access roads and/or driveways for commercial developments should be located at least 200 feet apart. Also, access drives and/or driveways should be located a minimum of 10 feet from property lines.

Circulation Design parking areas so that pedestrians walk parallel to moving cars. Minimize the need for the pedestrian to cross aisles. Design the parking lot so that drive aisles are perpendicular to the majority of buildings or major tenant. Vehicular circulation through a parking facility should be directed away from fire lanes (typically adjacent to the back of stores) to the outer edge of the parking lot where there is less pedestrian traffic. The parking area should be designed in a manner which links the building to the street sidewalk system as an extension of the pedestrian environment. This can be accomplished by using design features such as walkways with enhanced paving, trellis structures, and/or landscaping treatments. Driveway entry throats should be at least 25 feet wide, and preferably 30 to 35 feet wide, so that an entering vehicle does not interfere with an exiting vehicle. Narrower driveway throats lead to conflict between entering and exiting vehicles, causing one to stop and wait for the other. Parking areas should have a minimum number of entrances and exits to minimize conflicts at entries and reduce possible congestion at street intersections. The first parking stall which is perpendicular to a driveway or first aisle juncture, shall be at least 40 feet back from the curb. With larger centers, significantly more setback area may be required. The reason for this recommendation is to provide a queuing area off the street so that if a vehicle is parking in or leaving the stall nearest the street, there is room for at least one vehicle to queue while waiting for the other vehicle. Without this provision vehicles will queue into the street. Parking spaces shall not block access to the trash enclosure. Location of trash enclosures should not interfere with parking or circulation area and should be located to minimize their visibility while not hindering access for trash pick-up.

Screening of Parking Areas Where practical, lowering the grade of the parking lot from existing elevations may aid in obscuring views of automobiles while promoting views of architectural elements. Utilize a 36" high opaque wall or landscaping to screen any parking at the street periphery. A combination of walls, berms, and landscape material is highly recommended. 6. Bicycle and Pedestrian Linkage Whenever possible, linkages between commercial facilities and adjacent residential areas should be provided to encourage pedestrian and bicycle circulation and increase overall safety. Bicycle travel along Barton Road is not encouraged. Commercial facilities should provide bicycle storage racks at the rate of one rack per each thirty five (35) vehicle parking spaces. These should be provided in accordance with provisions contained in Appendix E. All bicycle and pedestrian linkages must be well lighted and designed to provide a high level of security. F. Sign Regulations 1. Required Compliance The purpose of the sign regulations is to provide the means for adequate identification of buildings and businesses by regulating and controlling the design, size, and location of all signs within the Specific Plan area. All signs within the Barton Road Specific Plan area shall comply with the sign provisions of Chapter 18.80 (Signs) of the City of Grand Terrace Zoning Code, but with the following exceptions: G.9.c Packet Pg. 242 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 33 Village Commercial (VC) District o Single Tenant Facilities – Wall or canopy signs shall not exceed 75 square feet based upon an area of one square foot of sign area per each lineal foot of building street frontage. o Multiple Tenant Facilities – Wall and canopy signs shall not exceed 50 square feet based upon one square foot of sign for each lineal foot of building street frontage. o Monument type signs shall not exceed 24 square feet for any parcel with less than 300 feet of street frontage and a maximum size of 32 square feet for any parcel with 300 feet or more of street frontage. They shall not exceed a height of six (6) feet above grade. General Commercial (GC) District o Multiple Tenant Facilities - Monument type signs shall not exceed 24 square feet for any parcel with less than 300 feet of street frontage and a maximum size of 32 square feet for any parcel with 300 feet or more of street frontage. They shall not exceed a height of six (6) feet above grade. 2. Sign Modifications The Community Development Director may approve a sign that does not strictly adhere to the sign provisions of the Chapter 18.80 of the City Zoning Code and an exception noted above where such sign is compatible with the surrounding development and is in harmony with the general aesthetics and welfare of the local area. The Planning Commission has the authority to allow deviations from the sign ordinance to approve creative and innovative sign programs or sign solutions under exceptional or unusual circumstances. G. Specific Freestanding Building Design Guidelines 1. Design Issues This category includes buildings housing a single use (possible two) which are designed to stand apart from adjacent buildings usually located in a center. These buildings may range in size from the tiny fast food drive-in to a hotel. Since various uses within freestanding buildings have different design problems or opportunities, these nuances must be considered. There are several design issues related to freestanding buildings which are not shared by the other categories: Freestanding buildings generally are viewed from all sides so that landscaping and building materials must be considered on all sides of the buildings. Freestanding buildings generally are smaller than the strip commercial centers or shopping centers and can be overshadowed by them. G.9.c Packet Pg. 243 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 34 Freestanding buildings have more opportunities for creative design since the design is directed toward a single use. Freestanding buildings have more opportunity for signs, but signs can easily overwhelm the building. A freestanding building usually has its own parking lot typically with its own access point(s) and often is segregated from adjacent lots. 2. Design Guidelines Use Distinctive Massing -Food service establishments, offices, and financial institutions offer the best opportunity for varied building massing and such variation is encouraged to add interest to the environment. Use Intimate Scale -Commercial establishments, offices, and financial institutions emphasize personal service as their primary products. These structures should reflect personal service by their architectural design which provides intimate, people-oriented scale at entries and interior spaces. Building components such as windows, wood doors, and decorative trim should emphasize the intimate scale in coordination with each other and the building scale. Limit Visual Impression of Height -The maximum height of proposed projects shall be consistent with the established regulations of this Specific Plan. However, commercial establishments should limit the visual impression of height by use of roof treatments, varying the plane of exterior walls and/or stepping back upper floors where feasible. Design for Public View -Each wall surface of a freestanding building which is visible to the public will be treated as a primary facade and will be designed for public view (i.e. public streets, right-of-ways, alleys, public parking areas, parks, etc.). Landscaping and screening of areas needed for services, such as deliveries or trash collection is required. Other appurtenances such as ground mechanical units, utility boxes, back-flow prevention devices, and similar equipment shall either be screened or blended with surrounding area.

Utilize wood shingles, clapboard, or board and batten siding. The textures should be limited to one or two primary materials with roofs and glass making up the remainder of textural variety. Brick accents are appropriate. Use Related Colors -Buildings shall be reviewed in terms of colors used. Colors should be related to those dominant in the immediate sphere. The use of all earth tones (not just shades of brown) indigenous to Grand Terrace is strongly encouraged, including the natural colors of brick and tile. Screen Mechanical Equipment -All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be located at a distance from the edge of the building so as not to be visible from the pedestrian level or from adjacent roadways. If such units must be placed in a visible location for functional reasons, they shall be screened in a manner consistent with the building facade. H. Specific Strip Commercial Center Design Guidelines 1. Design Issues This category includes buildings housing more than two uses or tenants, which are designed as a single unit oriented to a central parking area. In responding to the needs of individual tenants, these buildings often have the greatest problems with maintaining consistency in material and signage. Design issues associated with strip developments include: G.9.c Packet Pg. 245 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 36 A need to provide storefront visibility and access for a number of tenants. A need to provide signage identifying a number of different tenants. A need for individuality in storefront designs and signage. A need to provide landscaping to soften the building bulk without hiding signage or architectural "features". A need to provide convenient shared parking often located between the street and the primary building facade. 2. Design Guidelines Use Similar Massing -The massing of new strip developments should emphasize in a change from the once monotonous, unarticulated building facades of many older 5O's type strip developments. The use of arches, arcades, porches, roof overhangs, full roofs, and varying facade setbacks are strongly encouraged to add variety to the simple block-like massing of many existing strip developments. Use Consistent Scale -The scale within a strip development snail be consistent throughout the development. Where anchor or major tenants require larger building areas, the larger scale of these units shall be broken-down into units comparable to the predominant unit in the development. The use of vertical focal points such as towers and cupolas are strongly encouraged to emphasize the village atmosphere of Barton Road. These, however, need to be carefully designed and integrated within the overall village theme. Fad architectural styles must be avoided. Use Consistent Textures and Colors -All storefronts within a strip development shall utilize a consistent palette of materials and textures. While generally this will mean a continuous treatment of the entire strip frontage, it is acceptable to vary individual storefronts within a given palette of materials. For example, brick bulkheads under shop windows could alternate with wood G.9.c Packet Pg. 246 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 37 treatments where there is a variation in the plane of the façade, which correlates to such changes in materials. Use Height for Balance -Anchor stores, which are typically taller than the strip stores, can be used to create balance within the development. The placement of anchor stores shall consider the overall effect of balance for the strip. Limit Emphasis -The height and scale of an anchor store will automatically create an emphasis for the strip development. The use of textures, colors and materials on the anchor store shall be consistent with that of the other stores in the center to avoid dissimilar massing and proportions. Maintain Similar Proportions -The proportion of the major elements of a development shall be consistent throughout. These elements include windows, doors, and storefront design. For example, if multi-paned windows are used, the entire development must use multi-paned windows. Screen Mechanical Equipment -All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be located at a distance from the edge of the building so as not to be visible from the pedestrian level or from adjacent roadways. If such units must be placed in a visible location for functional reasons, they shall be screened in a matter consistent with the building's facade. Many rooftops are also visible from adjacent properties; in such cases, all rooftop equipment shall be at least screened from view using opaque walls or other appropriate materials consistent with the building's walls. I. Landscape Guidelines Landscaping in the Barton Road Corridor Specific Plan Area shall achieve three specific ends: one, to unify and establish a village theme; two, to soften the auto oriented new commercial development; three, to unify Barton Road as a pleasant environment for residents and visitors alike. These three ends will be accomplished by a highly recognizable use of repeated planting treatments. Consistency and continuity within the street right-of-way and building setback areas is extremely important. New development in the Specific Plan Area shall comply with the following landscape guidelines. G.9.c Packet Pg. 247 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 38 1. Landscaped Area Ratio A minimum of one 15 gallon size tree (25 feet in height or more at maturity) for every 625 square feet of landscaping, and one shrub or vine for every 50 square feet of landscaping are considered necessary. 2. Irrigation Provide complete automatic sprinkler or drip irrigation systems for all projects. 3. Maintenance Keep all plantings healthy and growing with all planting areas free of weeds and debris. 4. Trees, shrubs, and vines Trees shall be 15-gallon size having a minimum height of eight feet at time of planting. Shrubs shall be a minimum of 1-gallon size at time of planting. The tree shall be adequate in trunk diameter to support the top. Trees, shrubs, and vines shall have body and fullness that is typical of the species. 5. Ground Cover The ground cover shall be healthy, densely foliated, and well-rooted cuttings, or one gallon container plants. Herbaceous and flat plant ground covers shall be planted no more than 12 inches on center and woody shrub ground cover shall be planted no more than four feet on center. 6. Spacing The spacing of trees and shrubs shall be appropriate to the species used. The plant materials shall be spaced so that they do not interfere with the adequate lighting of the premises or restrict access to emergency apparatus such as fire hydrants or fire alarm boxes. Proper spacing shall also insure unobstructed access for vehicles and pedestrians in addition to providing clear vision of the intersections from approaching vehicles. Plant material shall conform to the following spacing standards: A minimum of 25 feet from the property corner at a street intersection to the center of the first tree or large shrub. A minimum of 15 feet between center of trees and large shrubs to light standards. .A minimum of 15 feet between center of trees or large shrubs and fire hydrants. A minimum of 10 feet between center of trees or large shrubs and edge of driveway.

General Guidelines Save existing mature trees where possible (some may be moved and transplanted, i.e. palms, pines, etc.) Approval must be obtained for removal of all trees having a trunk diameter of 10 inches or more measured 48 inches above existing grade. Use specimen trees (boxed trees) for immediate effect and accent. Give consideration to rapidly growing trees. Emphasize use of varieties which require low maintenance and drought tolerant species in public and commercial areas and in large landscape areas. Use boxed and tubbed plants in clay or wood containers, especially for enhancement of sidewalk shops. Give preference to ground covers which require little maintenance. "Authentic" flower and vegetable gardens may be developed to add to the village character. Vines and climbing plants integrated upon buildings, trellises, and perimeter garden walls are strongly encouraged. A few plants to consider for this purpose are: bougainvillea, grape ivy, and wisteria vines. Use color plantings at the base of building, in planter boxes and focal points. J. Planning Areas For the purpose of presenting and discussing the Specific Plan’s land use concept, the plan area has been divided into three Planning Areas. Each Planning Area is characterized by a particular land use emphasis and different requirements related to land use and site planning. The three Planning Areas are shown in Exhibit 5, Zoning Map. Permitted uses within each Planning Area/Zoning District are summarized in Appendix 1, Land Use Matrix. If a proposed land use is not listed in the Land Use G.9.c Packet Pg. 249 At t a c h m e n t : B a r t o n R o a d S p e c i f i c P l a n _ A m e n d e d _ 7 . 1 4 . 2 0 2 0 ( A w a r d C o n t r a c t t o M i c h a e l B a k e r I n t e r n a t i o n a l - E n v i r o n m e n t a l a n d P l a n n i n g 40 Matrix, a determination of consistency may be made by the Community Development Director. If appropriate, the consistency finding may be referred to the Planning Commission for a finding. Planning Area 1 - General Commercial District (GC) Descriptive Summary Planning Area 1 is closest to the 1-215 Freeway and consists mainly of residential uses, a school and some strip commercial. It is an area in transition with several residential structures having been converted to commercial uses. Lot consolidation and new commercial development are the primary focus for Planning Area 1. This Planning Area will focus upon a wide variety of uses that typically include supermarkets, drug stores, variety stores, apparel shops, appliance and furniture stores, and commercial recreation uses. Because of its adjacency to the freeway, this district would also permit traveler related uses such as hotels, motels, and restaurants. Land Use and Development Standards a. Maximum Building Height The maximum allowable building height in the GC district shall be 28 feet. Architectural building elements such as towers and roof ridge lines may extend to 35 feet if no habitable space is provided above 28 feet. b. Minimum Street Frontage The minimum street frontage for any development site in the GC district is 100 feet. c. Maximum Lot Coverage The maximum allowable lot coverage by structures may be 100 percent less required parking, setbacks, and landscaping. Lot coverage shall include all enclosed building area. Atriums open to the sky or plazas, open parking, and hardscaped areas shall not constitute lot coverage.

It contains primarily commercial uses with some office type uses. The Stater Bros. neighborhood shopping center and the Town and Country Plaza, a mixed retail and office center, are two of the most significant developments in the area. The general quality of uses and structures in this Planning Area is good; however, several older structures will need to be upgraded or replaced. The main focus for Planning Area 2 will be the creation of a downtown "village" atmosphere with an upgrading of retail commercial uses to take advantage of identified opportunities in the community retail market. Some consolidation of parcels will be required at the northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon in order for that area to develop with the type of quality development envisioned by this Specific Plan. The overall community design concept will emphasize the Barton Road/Mt. Vernon intersection as the "heart" of downtown with strong urban design features. The Village Commercial Planning Area is designed to accommodate specialty uses such as cafes, bakeries, gift shops, florist shops, bookstores, and other similar commercial retail uses of a scale and quality that are compatible with a pedestrian-oriented village atmosphere. Other, more general-type commercial uses, such as hardware, hobby, furniture, and appliance stores are also permitted, but subject to strict design standards. Similar uses requiring larger floor areas are more appropriate in the General Commercial District. a. Maximum Building Height The maximum allowable building height in the VC district shall be 28 feet. Architectural building elements such as towers and roof ridge lines may extend to 35 feet if no habitable space is provided above 28 feet. b. Minimum Street Frontage The minimum street frontage for any development site in the VC district shall be 100 feet c.

West of City Hall uses are predominantly residential with a mixture of single family and multiple family dwellings. The main emphasis for Planning Area 3 will be the continued development of office uses and support service commercial uses. In recognizing the presence of existing multi-family residential projects south of Barton Road along side streets within the Planning Area, such uses will be permitted to remain and in-fill properties allowed to develop subject to strict design standards and permitting processes. Special provisions are provided for the development of infill multi-family properties. Opportunities exist to consolidate some single family lots for office development. This land use district is intended to accommodate professional/administrative office uses and personal service uses as opposed to other commercial retail uses. Typically, uses include medical and health care clinics, travel agencies, insurance agencies, and copy centers. Other consistent uses include executive, management, administrative, or clerical uses, including the establishment of branch offices, data processing centers, and the provision of professional consulting services. Service commercial uses may include restaurants, repair services, and retail commercial uses that cater to businesses and their employees. Land Use and Development Standards a. Maximum Building Height The maximum allowable building height in the AP district shall be 28 feet. Architectural building elements such as towers and roof ridge lines may extend to 35 feet if no habitable space is provided above 28 feet. b.

SUMMARY OF CLAIM AND CONTENTS: On or around January 4, 2021, Ben Eilenberg on behalf of Sunny Days LLC submitted the attached Government Claim. The claim disputes the processing of Sunny Days LLC’s business license application submitted through the City’s vendor’s website, HdL Companies (“HdL”), on or about November 18, 2020. The Claim alleges that the proposed license “is permitted as a matter of right under the Municipal Code” and generally seeks damages in excess of $25,000, which is said to include “[t]he purchase price of the property if the sale is forced to go through” and the costs of obtaining the business license. (See Exhibit A.) The City Attorney’s office conducted a preliminary investigation and evaluated the claim. Based on its review, the City Attorney’s office recommends that the City Council reject the claim and direct staff to send a letter of rejection. The City Attorney’s office is available to answer questions from the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to providing staff direction to send the letter.
