TERRACE, CA (APN: 0275-242-09-0000)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports Goal 3 to Promote Economic DevelopmentandGoal 2.3 to Provide
a wide range of retail and service commercial opportunities designated to meet the
needs of the City's residents, businesses, and visitors while also providing employment
opportunities.
PROPOSAL:
Golden Star Investment Properties, LLC ("Applicant") represented by Logan Gillis from
Bickel Group Architecture, has filed a Conditional Use Permit, Site and Architectural
Review, Variance, Sign Program Amendment, and Environmental applications to
construct a 1,000 square-foot Starbucks with exclusive drive-through service on a 0.4-
acre site, located at 22220 Barton Road (APN: 0275-242-09-0000). The proposal
includes the demolition of an existing duplex building and complete clearing of the
property to construct the new building and drive-through lane. The project is not
proposing indoor/outdoor sitting areas and there will be no walk-up window services,
Packet Pg. 9
C.1
only drive-through services will be provided. The proposed drive-through includes a
double lane with queuing for 17 vehicles. A Conditional Use Permit has been submitted
pursuant of Ordinance No. 332 for the proposed extended hours of operation proposed
from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. A Variance has been submitted to deviate from the
twenty-foot front landscaped building setback, the loading zone, and reduction of three
parking spaces. The proposed Project signs (wall signs and drive-through signs) have
been included and are consistent with the Sign Ordinance. The proposed development
will be an extension of the Terrace Plaza project and is proposing an easement
agreement for shared access, shared parking, shared loading area, shared monument
sign, and trash enclosure. The previously approved Terrace Plaza Sign Program is
being amended to increase the height of the monument sign by two-feet and four-inches
to accommodate a sign area for Starbucks. The proposed site improvements include
parking, landscaping, trash enclosure, loading area, lighting, access, public art, two
public benches, and required street improvements.
The Project is zoned Barton Road Specific Plan ("BRSP"), General Commercial (GC).
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The Project site is on the Barton Road corridor, located about 400-feet from Vivienda
Avenue and about 1,200-feet from Interstate-215 Freeway. The site has an approximate
1,728 square-foot duplex building proposed to be demolished. The property is
rectangular in shape and relatively flat. The land gradually slopes from the lowest grade
at the south property line by three-feet within a span of 194-linear feet towards the north
property line. There is single Mexican Fan Palm tree located on the west side of the
property proposed to be removed. The site adjoins Terrace Plaza to the west side of the
property and the Project will be an extension of Terrace Plaza proposing an easement
agreement for access, shared parking, shared loading area, shared monument sign,
and trash enclosure.
Surrounding uses are as follows:

East BRSP-General General Commercial Multi-Family Residential
Commercial Legal Nonconforming Use
South BRSP-General General Commercial Grand Terrace Town Square

West BRSP-General General Commercial Terrace Plaza - Multi-tenant
Commercial commercial use (in

Packet Pg. 10
C.1
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS:
Land Use
The property is designated General Commercial ("GC") within the General Plan Land
Use Element. This designation encompasses the area between Interstate-215 and
Canal Street. The Project is consistent with the General Commercial Land Use
Designation which goal is to provide a wide range of retail services and commercial
opportunities designed to meet the
Circulation
The Project is consistent with the Circulation Element Policies. Barton Road is a Major
Highway with 100-feet right-of-way servicing major commercial areas and has direct
access to Interstate 215. The Applicant will provide the necessary street improvements
as determined by the Public Works Department.
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines established in July 2020, the project will not
require a TIA because all retail projects less than 50,000 square-feet are screened and
presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the
contrary.
The Applicant provided a traffic impact assessment and parking demand analysis
prepared by Linscott Law and Greenspan which demonstrates the proposed onsite
circulation, drive-through queuing, and parking demand can support the Project and
meets the intent of the Circulation Element.
Noise
The Project is consistent with the Noise Element. The proposed hours of operation are
from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The order menu and speaker box will be located
approximately 190-feet away from the residential zoning located to the north and
approximately 60-feet from the residential use located on the east. The Grand Terrace
Noise Element identifies 65dB as a normally acceptable noise level for retail commercial
and restaurant uses. The Applicant submitted a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) study
showing that typically the SPL at eight feet distance will be of 66 dB; therefore, noise
levels will be acceptable from all property lines and there will be no impacts to adjacent
uses. The project will be conditioned to include an automatic volume-controlled speaker
system that adjust the outbound volume based on the outdoor ambient noise level. In
addition, the Project design will incorporate Noise Barriers such as decorative perimeter
block walls with a combination of landscape planting material and evergreen trees to the
north and east boundaries. The Project has been strictly conditioned for compliance
with the Noise Ordinance.
Water Quality
Packet Pg. 11
C.1
In compliance with the Open Space and Conservation Element, the Applicant has
prepared a Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan and a Preliminary Soils
Engineering Investigation Report. The structure and site improvements will be built
strictly in compliance with the current Grand Terrace Building Code and the San
Bernardino County Fire Department Regulations.
ZONING CONSISTENCY ANALYSIS:
The Project complies with the Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial
transition having several residential structures been converted to commercial uses or
demolished to allow new commercial construction. The Barton Road Specific Plan-
General Commercial District zoning supports drive-through uses and the Project is
consistent with the development standards except for the applied Variance to deviate
from the twenty-foot front landscape setback, the loading area, and the reduction of
three parking spaces. The Project complies with all other development standards
including building height and lot coverage.
Conditional Use Permit
A Conditional Use Permit has been filed pursuant to Ordinance No. 332 proposing
extended hours operation from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. which are typical Starbucks
hours for early morning customer services.
The Project has been conditioned to regulate compliance with noise, trash, loitering,
overnight security, lighting, and onsite maintenance. The Project will be required to
install exterior security cameras with line of sight to all areas of the property. The
exterior lighting will be required in the parking, walkway areas, and on the building
exterior. The project will require landscaping maintenance, litter collection, and overall
upkeep to the building exterior, including shared easement areas with Terrace Plaza. A
condition of approval has been included requiring the Applicant to submit a final
operations plan for the review and approval by the Planning Division prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
In addition, staff has included a condition of approval requiring an Administrative
Conditional Use Permit should the hours of operation be extended or modified in the
future. The City has the authority to revoke a conditional use permit to ensure the
Variance
The 0.4-acre site is restricted by its size, narrow shape, and location. The surroundings
restrict the design location of the building and the location of the drive-through lane, the
project abouts with residential zoning to the north, a legal nonconforming multi-family
residence to the east and commercial to the west. The proposed location of the building
allows for the drive-through lane to wrap around the perimeter of the property
maximizing the queuing capacity of 17 vehicles; however, the drive-through lane
Packet Pg. 12
C.1
transverses over ten-feet of the twenty foot front setback landscape requirement.To
maximize the use of the site, a Variance has been submitted to deviate from the front
landscape setback, loading area, and a reduction of three parking spaces.
Front Landscape Setback Requirement.
The zoning requires a twenty-foot front building setback entirely landscaped. The
-through lane will occupy ten-feet of the required front landscaped
setback. The reduction of this landscaped setback will be compensated by
increasing the landscape elsewhere within the site. In addition, the overall
proposed front building setback is fifty-six feet which is substantially greater than
the minimum twenty-foot landscape setback. Furthermore, the project will provide
a landscape area 4% greater than the 20% minimum landscape requirement.
Existing drive-thru restaurants under the same zoning classification have
encounter the same front setback landscape reduction to accommodate the
drive-through lanes; therefore, circumstances are similar to other existing drive-
through restaurants under the same zoning classification.
Reduction of three parking spaces and loading zone.
The proposed 1,000 square foot building requires 14 parking spaces at a ratio of
1 parking/75 square-feet. The project is proposing 11 parking spaces; however,
the Applicant provided a Traffic Impact Assessment and Parking Demand
Analysis prepared by Linscott Law and Greenspan indicating the project will
establish a shared parking easement agreement with Terrace Plaza. Both
properties will have a combined total of 53 parking spaces; it is anticipated that
the proposed shared parking will support the combined parking demand with a
surplus of 4 parking spaces during the peak hours occurring at 7:00 p.m. on the
weekend. It was also identified that the anticipated parking surplus during the
weekday will be of 10 parking spaces. It should be noted the Project will only
provide drive-thru services only, there will be no services for walking customers.
The granting of the Variance for the required loading zone will not constitute
special privileges, as the Project is an extension of Terrace Plaza and a shared
loading area will be included on a recorded easement agreement.
The findings in support of the Variance are included in the attached Resolution.
Project Access and Stacking Analysis
The Project
Barton Road. The drive-through lane will be accessed at the northeast corner of the
property, and it wraps around the perimeter of the building.
The drive-through stacking analysis states that the proposed 17 vehicle queuing
capacity will support the drive-through demand. The analysis includes surveys at four
Starbucks locations and only one site experienced a maximum queuing capacity of 18
Packet Pg. 13
C.1
vehicles fo-through
storage will accommodate the demand without impacting the main drive aisle. In
addition, the Project will be conditioned to prepare and implement a management plan
order assist program every time the maximum queue of seventeen cars occurs and
during the peak demand hours. The management plan order assist program will consist
of Starbucks team members taking orders and receiving payment within the drive-
through lane and assisting with traffic movement withing the drive-through parking lot if
needed.
Staff supports the Traffic Impact Assessment and Parking Demand Analysis as it
empirically addresses parking demands and drive-through queuing demands.
Grading/Site Plan/ Landscape
The Project requires the demolition of an approximate 1,728 square-foot existing duplex
building and the clearing of the property including one Mexican Fan palm tree. The site
is relatively flat and will require minimum grading. The Project is proposing an easement
agreement with Terrace Plaza LLC for shared access, shared parking, shared loading
area, shared monument sign, and trash enclosure. The project has been conditioned to
identify all proposed shared easement areas on the Grading Plan and Site Plan and to
provide a draft of the easement agreement to be reviewed by the City and recorded at
San Bernardino County Assessors.
The Project is proposing a total of 24% landscape areas, which is 4% greater than the
minimum requirement. All the proposed planting areas will include a substantially dense
landscaping concept. The proposed bioretention will be located on the north side of the
property within the front landscape area.
incorporate a six-foot heigh decorative block wall with a ten-foot landscape buffer to
create separation between the Project and abutting existing residential uses. The drive-
through will include landscape areas along the entire length of the drive-through lane.
The proposed landscaping will include evergreen trees to the east and north sides of
the property, the landscape planting areas will include a variety of drought tolerant
t with the Municipal Code requirements.
The landscape will be compliant with the Municipal Code and with the most recent Model
Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance by the State of California.
Architectural Floor Plans and Elevations
The Project is proposing a 1,000 square foot building for drive-through services only.
There will be no outdoor and no indoor sitting areas and there will be no walk-up
window services. Tenant improvements will be submitted during the Building and Safety
Packet Pg. 14
C.1
plan checking stage to allow the space to be customized to Starbucks specifications.
The proposed structure will comply with the general architectural guidelines for all
development established by the Barton Road Specific Plan. The Applicant is proposing
a contemporary/modern b
as the dominant building color to match the Terrace Plaza. Staff added a condition
requiring a secondary color, the proposed building base color shall be use on
approximately eleven-feet measured from the grade, the remaining six-feet shall include
a variation of the base color (one-two shades darker). The design elements include
significant vertical wall articulation with exterior wood texture siding in brown color
(Sherwin Williams Jute brown for the base and tricorn black for the topcoat). The south
façade fronting Barton Road will include a vertical wood trellis and a dark bronze metal
landscape trellis for climbing vines, staff included a condition of approval for the
applicant to provide a minimum three-feet deep by eight-feet length planting area for the
proposed planting vines.
The Applicant is also proposing a landscape trellis with climbing vines to the west
elevation; instead, staff has included a condition proposing to enhance the east
elevation by adding a canopy protruding a minimum one-foot from away from the wall
containing the business logo. The canopy will be required to include lighting behind the
structure, the logo may be a cutout metal or a mosaic.
A metal awning will be located at the drive-through service window located on the east
side of the building and at the employee entrance located to the west side. Cylindrical
sconce lighting fixtures in matte black finish will highlight the architecture of the building
creating a vertical lighting element during the evening hours. The 22-feet building height
is below the maximum height requirement of 28-feet.
surrounding development.
Sign Program
The Applicant is proposing to Amend the Terrace Plaza Sign Program approved by the
Planning Commission Site and Architectural Review Board on March 18, 2021. Terrace
Plaza is a multi-tenant project with four tenant spaces, the approved sign program
includes a six-feet heigh monument sign that provides a sign area for each of the four
tenants. The proposed Project will act as an extension of Terrace Plaza; therefore, the
monument sign height will be increased to eight-feet and four inches to accommodate a
sign area for the proposed Project. All other aspects of the sign program previously
approved will remain unmodified. The proposed sign program amendment will remain
consistent with the Municipal Code Sign Ordinance.
The findings to support this Sign Program Amendment have been made and have been
included on the attached Resolution.
AGENCY REVIEW COMMENTS:
Packet Pg. 15
C.1
The Project Plans were distributed to various agencies and City Departments for review
and comments have been included on the resolution from Building and Safety, Public
Works, San Bernardino County Fire, Burrtec, San Bernardino County Division of
Environmental Health, and Colton Water and Wastewater Division.
The Applicant shall comply with any additional requirements established by the
Riverside Highland Water Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project qualifies for a categorical exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, which exempts infill projects
that (a) are consistent with the general plan designation and zoning regulations; (b) the
development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses; (c) the site has no value as habitat for
endangered, rare or threatened species; (d) approval of the Project would not result in
any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (e) the
site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public service.
PUBLIC NOTICE:
Public notice of the Project was published in Grand Terrace City News, posted at three
public places and mailed to property owners within 500-foot radius of the site.
To date, staff has not received any comments.
RECOMENDATION:
The Project is consistent with the General Commercial Designation which goal is to
provide a wide range of retail services and promote economic development. The Project
is consistent with the zoning requirements. The extended hours of operation will provide
early morning services to the community within a regulated context. The Variance
findings have been made and can be supported. The reduction to the front landscaping
setback has been compensated by increasing other landscape areas within the site
exceeding the minimum landscaping percentage requirement. The Traffic Impact
Assessment and Parking Demand Analysis demonstrates there are no anticipated
drive-through stacking issues, and the proposed shared parking is sufficient for the
anticipated demand. The building architecture, landscaping, and Sign Program
Amendment will be consistent with the surrounding commercial developments. Overall,
the Project
complement the surrounding development. Staff recommends adoption of the attached
Resolution adopting and finding an environmental exemption for the Project pursuant to
section 15332 of the CEQA guidelines and approving the Project.

C.1.a
a.The proposed use will notbe detrimental to the health, safety, morals,comfort,
or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood
of the proposed Project or within the city. Ordinance No. 332 requires a
Conditional Use Permit for uses proposing to operate any time between 11:00
p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The Project is proposing extended hours of operations,
from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; therefore, triggering a Conditional Use Permit
review process.
The Project is proposing extended hours of operation in the morning starting at
4:00 a.m. which are typical Starbucks morning hours of operation. The
proposed extended hours will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals,
comfort, or general welfare of the neighboring residents.
Staff has included a condition of approval requiring an Administrative
Conditional Use Permit should the hours of operation be extended or modified
in the future. In addition, a condition of approval has been included requiring
the Applicant to submit a final operations plan for the proposed extended hours
of operation, including security, lighting, noise, and property maintenance.
b. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood or within the City. The Conditional Use Permit allows the City to
impose conditions of approval to prevent impacts to the adjacent properties
caused by the extended morning hours of operation. The Project has been
conditioned to regulate compliance with noise, trash, loitering, overnight
security, lighting, and onsite maintenance. The Project will be required to install
exterior security cameras with line of sight to all areas of the property. The
exterior lighting will be required in the parking, walkway areas, and on the
building exterior. The Project will require landscaping maintenance, litter
collection, and overall upkeep to the building exterior, including shared
easement areas with the adjacent property. The proposed extended hours of
operations will not be injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood or City. The City has the authority to revoke a conditional use
permit to ensure the communitys health, safety, and welfare are protected.
c. The proposed use will be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan. The
proposed Starbucks hours of operation are consistent with the Barton Road
Specific Plan, General Commercial zoning designation and with the latest
adopted General Plan.
d. Conditions necessary to secure the purposes of the Barton Road Specific Plan,
General Commercial have been applied to the Project.
4. Based upon the forgoing and all oral and written communications from members of
the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, all oral and written staff
Attachment: Starbucks Resolution \[Revision 1\] (CUP 22-01, V 22-02, SA 22-03, SPA 20-05-A1, and E 22-03 - Starbucks)
reports and attachments) presented at the August 18, 2022, public hearing, the
Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board hereby finds as follows
with respect to Variance 22-02:
Page 3 of 25
Packet Pg. 20
C.1.a
a.A special circumstance regarding thesize, shape, topography, location,or
surroundings of the subject property exists. The site is restricted by its size,
location, and surroundings; therefore, the Applicant has applied for a Variance
to deviate from the twenty-foot front landscape setback, loading zone, and for a
reduction of three parking spaces. The 0.4-acre lot is restricted by its size, the
shape is narrow and abouts residential to the north and east side of the
property. The Project will be an extension of the Terrace Plaza and will require
an easement agreement for shared access, shared parking, shared loading
area, shared monument sign, and trash enclosure.
The Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial (BRSP,GC) zoning
requires a twenty-foot front building setback entirely landscaped. The Projects
drive-through lane will occupy ten-feet of the required setback. The reduction of
this setback will be compensated by increasing the landscape elsewhere within
the site. In addition, the overall proposed front building setback is fifty-six feet
and will include dense landscape areas along the entire drive-through length.
Furthermore, the Project will provide a landscape area 4% greater than the
20% minimum landscape requirement.
In addition, the Project is proposing the reduction of three parking spaces and
no loading zone. The proposed 1,000 square foot building requires 14 parking
spaces at a ratio of 1 parking per 75 square-feet. The Project is proposing 11
parking spaces; however, the Applicant provided a traffic impact assessment
and parking demand analysis indicating the Project will establish a shared
parking easement with Terrace Plaza. Both properties will have a combined
total of 53 parking spaces, it is anticipated that the proposed shared parking will
support the combined parking demand with a surplus of 4 parking spaces
during the peak hours occurring at 7:00 p.m. on the weekend. It was also
identified that the anticipated parking surplus during the weekday will be of 10
parking spaces. The Project will only provide exclusive drive-thru services,
there will be no indoor/outdoor sitting areas and there will be no walk-up
window services; therefore, the proposed parking will not be necessary for a
use that provides no walking patron services.
Both properties will utilize the shared loading area, which will be included in the
easement agreement. The Project will be conditioned to schedule deliveries
during the morning hours, not to interfere with the peak hours of operation of
any of the tenants, and to keep delivery trucks on site. Delivery trucks parked
on Barton Road will not be permitted.
Overall, the proposed design concept is the best design solution based on the
lot size, location, and surroundings; therefore, special circumstances exist to
support the variance.
b. Because of the special circumstance, the strict application of the zoning
Attachment: Starbucks Resolution \[Revision 1\] (CUP 22-01, V 22-02, SA 22-03, SPA 20-05-A1, and E 22-03 - Starbucks)
ordinance deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other property
in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. The size, location, and
surroundings of the site poses a special circumstance that restricts the design
Page 4 of 25
Packet Pg. 21
C.1.a
locationof thebuilding and the location of the drive-throughlaneallowingthe
proposed maximum queuing capacity of 17 vehicles and therefore reducing the
front setback landscape requirement, loading area, and reducing three parking
spaces. The drive-thru lane is reducing the landscape area but not the overall
front setback requirement. In addition, existing drive-thru restaurants under the
same zoning classification have encountered the same front setback
landscape reduction to accommodate the drive-through lanes; therefore,
circumstances are similar to other existing drive-through restaurants under the
same zoning classification. In addition, it has been identified on the traffic
impact assessment and parking demand analysis that the shared parking
easement will be sufficient for the anticipated demand of both properties. The
stacking analysis of the proposed 17 vehicle queuing capacity will support the
demand. A maximum queuing of 18 vehicles was reported on the surveys at
four Starbucks locations, occurring only four times and at only one site
(Orange, Ca) throughout the surveyed days. The proposed 17 vehicle drive-
through storage will accommodate the demand without impacting the sites
main drive aisle. In addition, the Project will be conditioned to implement an
order assist program during their peak operation times to further ensure that
vehicles will not queue onto the sites main drive aisle. During peak operating
times, the order assist program may consist of Starbucks team members taking
orders and receiving payment within the drive-through and/or assisting with
traffic movement in the drive-through parking lot if needed. A condition of
approval will be included requesting a copy of the proposed order assist
program to be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division.
The location of the proposed site is restricted by its size and location; therefore,
will require an easement agreement for shared access, shared parking, shared
loading area, trash enclosure and monument sign.
c. The granting of the variance will not constitute the grant of special privileges
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district
in which the property is situated. The granting of the Variance for the required
loading zone will not constitute special privileges, as the Project is an extension
of Terrace Plaza and a recorded easement for shared access, shared parking,
shared loading area, shared monument sign, and trash enclosure will be
required. The granting of the Variance for the reduction of three parking spaces
will not affect the proposed use because the parking analysis indicates the
shared parking will be sufficient and it is anticipated to have a parking surplus
of four parking spaces during the peak demand hours. In addition, the Project
will not provide walking patron services and will be conditioned for drive-
through services only. The granting of the Variance for the required twenty-foot
front landscape setback will not constitute the grant of special privileges,
because existing uses along Barton Road have encounter similar
circumstances to accommodate open areas within the front landscape setback
requirement, such as drive-through lanes.

d. The granting of the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the district governing the parcel of property.

The proposeddevelopmentis a permissible use inthe BRSP,GC zoning
designation.
e. The granting of the variance will not result in a situation inconsistent with the
latest adopted General Plan. The Project is consistent with the General
Commercial Land Use Element which goal is to provide a wide range of retail
and service commercial opportunities. Restaurant drive-through uses are
supported in the General Commercial designation.
f. Conditions necessary to secure the above findings are made a part of the
approval of the variance.
5. Based upon the forgoing and all oral and written communications from members of
the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, all oral and written staff
reports and attachments) presented at the August 18, 2022, public hearing, the
Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with
respect to Site and Architectural Review 22-03:
a. The Project is consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code
and General Plan. The proposed Starbucks is consistent with the General Plan
and is consistent with the Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial
designation, which supports restaurants and retail businesses, except for the
requested variance. The Project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use
Maps goal is to provide a wide range of retail and service commercial
opportunities designed to meet the needs of the Citys residents, businesses,
and visitors while also providing employment opportunities.
The Project is consistent with the Circulation Element. Barton Road is a Major
Highway with a 100-foot right-of-way, which provides direct service to major
commercial areas and provides a well-maintained roadway system. The
proposed Project will not require additional dedication; however, the Applicant
will provide the necessary street improvements as determined by the Public
Works Department.
The Project will provide exclusive drive-through lane service only, there will be
no outdoor/indoor sitting areas and no walk-up window service. The Applicant
provided a traffic impact assessment and parking demand analysis. Pursuant to
the Citys Municipal Code Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Resolution and Traffic
Impact Analysis (TIA) Guidelines established in July 2020, the Project will not
require a TIA because all retail projects less than 50,000 square-feet are
screened and presumed to have a less than significant impact absent
substantial evidence to the contrary. The drive-through queuing analysis
includes surveys at four Starbuck locations and indicates that the proposed
seventeen vehicle queuing will accommodate all potential queuing without
impacting the sites main drive aisle.

The parking analysis indicates the proposed Starbucks is deficient by three
parking spaces; however, the Project is proposing shared parking with Terrace

Packet Pg. 23
C.1.a
Plaza. In addition, the Projectwill not provideinterior/exterior sittingareas and
there will be no walk-up window services. The parking analysis identifies the
shared parking will have a surplus of four parking spaces for both sites during
the peak hours of operation; therefore, is anticipated that the shared parking
will support the combined parking demand. The Project will be conditioned to
legally record a shared easement for site access, shared parking, trash
enclosure, and monument sign areas.
The Project is consistent with the Noise Element. The order menu and speaker
box will be located approximately 190-feet away from the residential zoning
located to the north and approximately 60-feet from the residential use located
on the east. The Grand Terrace Noise Element identifies 65dB as a normally
acceptable noise level for retail commercial and restaurant uses. The Applicant
submitted a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) study showing that the SPL at eight
feet distance will be 66 dB; therefore, noise levels will be acceptable from all
the property lines and there will be no impacts to adjacent properties. The
Project will be conditioned to include an automatic volume controlled speaker
system that adjust the outbound volume based on the outdoor, ambient noise
level and conditioned for compliance with the Municipal Code Noise Ordinance.
In compliance with the Open Space and Conservation Element, the Applicant
has prepared a Water Quality Management Pan and a Preliminary Soils
Engineering Investigation Report. The structure will be built in compliance with
the Building Code and San Bernardino County Fire Department Regulations.
The Project complies with the Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial
designation which overall goal is to create a dynamic downtown commercial
center that is attractive and of high quality, unifying community design image
and providing a balanced mixture of commercial and administrative
professional uses with safe, efficient circulation, and access. The General
Commercial designation is closest to the Interstate-215. This area is in
transition having several existing residential structures have been converted to
commercial uses. This area supports a variety of uses including but not limited
to supermarkets, drug stores, variety stores, hotels, and restaurants. The
proposed Project is consistent with the development standards established on
the Barton Road Specific Plan-General Commercial District (Planning Area 1
Mater Plan Area 2), except for the applied Variance to deviate from the front
landscape setback, the loading area, and the reduction of three parking spaces.
The Project complies with all other development standards including building
height and lot coverage.
b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project are
visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures, as they
do not interfere with the neighbors privacy and do not unnecessarily block
Attachment: Starbucks Resolution \[Revision 1\] (CUP 22-01, V 22-02, SA 22-03, SPA 20-05-A1, and E 22-03 - Starbucks)
scenic views from other structures and/or public areas, and are in scale with the
townscape and natural landscape of the area. The proposed architecture will be
compatible with the Terrace Plazas project. The building structure will be
Page 7 of 25
Packet Pg. 24
C.1.a
visually harmonious,includesignificant wall articulation,anduse of multiple
materials and colors. The structure will not interfere with neighbors privacy as
the building has been located towards the south side of the property fronting
Barton Road and about seventy-five feet away from the residences located to
the north. The building height is consistent with the zoning. The landscape will
enhance and complement the surrounding General Commercial area and will
create a separation between the uses to the north and east by incorporating
decorative block wall and heavy landscape. Overall, the Project is consistent
with the Barton Road Specific Plan goals and objectives to create and enhance
the downtown character, while promoting economic development, and
maintaining the community design character, environmental quality, and a high
level of public services. The proposed development is consistent with
surrounding uses along Barton Road, and it will help support the Goal of the
Barton Road Specific Plan to create a dynamic commercial center.
c. The architectural design of structures, their materials, and colors are visually
harmonious with the surrounding development, natural landforms, are
functional for the Project and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code. The proposed structure will comply with the general architectural
guidelines for all development established by the Barton Road Specific Plan.
The Applicant is proposing a contemporary/modern building painted in light
gray (Dunn Edwards Dolphin Tales) as the dominant building color to match
the Terrace Plaza color pallet. The design elements include significant vertical
wall articulation with exterior wood texture siding in brown color (Sherwin
Williams Jute brown for the base and tricorn black for the topcoat). The south
façade fronting Barton Road will include a vertical wood trellis and a dark
bronze metal landscape trellis for climbing vines. A metal awning will be
located at the drive-through service window and at the employee entrance.
Sconce lighting fixtures are proposed to be cylindrical with a matte black finish
and will create a vertical highlight element during the evening hours. The west
side elevation will incorporate a wall landscape trellis with climbing vines to
incorporate a natural articulation element and match the Terrace Plaza. The
Projects architecture will enhance downtown character of the Barton
Road Corridor and complement the surrounding development.
d. The plan for landscaping and open spaces provides a functional and visually
pleasing setting for the structures on this site and is harmonious with the
natural landscape of the area and nearby developments. The Project is
proposing a total of 24% landscape areas, which is 4% greater than the
minimum 20% landscape requirement. The Applicant has requested a
Variance to deviate from the twenty-foot front landscape setback to
accommodate the drive-through lane. The reduction of the front landscape will
be compensated by increasing the landscape elsewhere within the site. All the
proposed planting areas will include a substantially dense landscaping
Attachment: Starbucks Resolution \[Revision 1\] (CUP 22-01, V 22-02, SA 22-03, SPA 20-05-A1, and E 22-03 - Starbucks)
concept. The Projects east and north perimeter will incorporate a six-foot heigh
decorative block wall with a ten-foot landscape buffer to create separation
between the Project and the existing residential uses. The drive-through will
Page 8 of 25
Packet Pg. 25
C.1.a
includelandscape areasalong the entire lengthof thedrive-through lane. The
proposed landscaping will include evergreen trees to the east and north sides
of the property, the landscape planting areas will include a variety of drought
tolerant plants such as Silverberry, purple and yellow Lantanas, red
Valentine Bush, purple Texas Ranger, and red Brake Light and Blue Elf.
The proposed green vegetation will include Deergrass, Blue Flame Agave,
and Blue Bell Bush. The climbing vines will include Purple Vine Lilac and
Cats Claw. The streetscape will include two Southern Magnolias compliant
with the Municipal Code requirements. In addition, the landscape will be
compliant with the Municipal Code and with the most recent Model Water
Efficient Landscape Ordinance by the State of California.
e. There is no indiscriminate clearing of property, destruction of trees or natural
vegetation or the excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides, thus the natural
beauty of the City, its setting and natural landforms are preserved. The Project
requires the demolition of an approximate 1,728 square-foot existing duplex
building and the clearing of the property including one Mexican Fan palm tree.
The site will be enhanced by the proposed development, including numerous
landscaping areas and parking lot defined planters, which will include multiple
trees, shrubs, planting material, and groundcover.
f. The design and location of all signs associated with this Project are consistent
with the scale and character of the building to which they are attached or
otherwise associated with and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code. The Applicant is proposing three wall signs, three directional signs, two
clearance bars, a digital order board sign, and one five panel menu sign. The
proposed signs are typical of Starbucks branding. In addition, the Applicant is
proposing an amendment to the sign program approved for Terrace Plaza to
increase the monument height by 2-4 to accommodate a sign area for
Starbucks. The monument sign will be recorded on a shared easement
agreement. The design and location of all signs associated with this Project are
consistent with the scale and character of the building to which they are
attached or otherwise associated with and are consistent with the Grand
Terrace Municipal Code.
g. Conditions of approval for this Project necessary to secure the purposes of the
Grand Terrace Municipal Code and General Plan have been applied to the
Project.
6 Based upon the forgoing and all oral and written communications from members of
the public and City staff (including, but not limited to, all oral and written staff
reports and attachments) presented at the August 18, 2022, public hearing, the
Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with
respect to Sign Program 20-05-A1:
Attachment: Starbucks Resolution \[Revision 1\] (CUP 22-01, V 22-02, SA 22-03, SPA 20-05-A1, and E 22-03 - Starbucks)
a. The proposed sign program amendment is consistent with the Sign Ordinance

Packet Pg. 26
C.1.a
296 development standards. The Applicantis proposing to Amend the Terrace
Plaza Sign Program approved by the Planning Commission Site and
Architectural Review Board on March 18, 2021. Terrace Plaza is a multi-tenant
project with four tenant spaces, the approved sign program includes a six-feet
heigh monument sign that provides a sign area for each of the four tenants.
The proposed Project will act as an extension of Terrace Plaza; therefore, the
monument sign height will be increased to eight-feet and four inches to
accommodate a sign area for the proposed Starbucks. All other aspects of the
sign program previously approved will remain unmodified. The proposed sign
program amendment will remain consistent with the Municipal Code Sign
Ordinance.
b. The design, location, and scale of proposed signs for the integrated
development are in keeping with the architectural character of the
development. The height increase to the monument sign is the only proposed
changed within this amendment. The design, location, and scale of the sign
program amendment will remain consistent with the scale and character of the
development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, based upon the forgoing and all oral and written
communications from members of the public and City staff (including, but not limited to,
all oral and written staff reports and attachments) presented at the August 18, 2022,
