adopted a revised 2013-2021 Housing Element, which was certified by HCD.
State law requires each city to prepare and file Annual Progress Reports (APRs)
describing housing production and the status of Housing Element program
implementation. APRs must be prepared using the format established by the
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Attached are the APRs for calendar years 2015 and 2016. The reports contain the total
Housing Programs.
A total of 15 homes have been builtin 2015 and 2016. In 2015 there were 10 homes
built. Of these 10, one home was deed restricted for moderate income households for a
period of 10 years. In 2016 five homes were completed, and two were deed restricted to
moderate income households for a period of 10 years. The three deed restricted homes
are from the Preston Project.

TITLE: Zoning Code Amendment 17-01, an Amendment Relating to
Accessory Dwelling Units
PRESENTED BY: Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION: 1)Conducta public hearing and
2)Adopt a RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE,
CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY
COUNCIL MAKE A DETERMINATION THAT ZONING
CODE AMENDMENT 16-03 IS EXEMPT, PURSUANT TO
SECTION 15061(b)(3), FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND RECOMMENDING
THE CITY COUNCIL AMEND CHAPTER 18.06
(DEFINITIONS), CHAPTER 18.63 (SITE AND
ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW) AND CHAPTER 18.69
(SECOND FAMILY UNITS) OF TITLE 18 (ZONING) OF
THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING
TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
Grand Terrace is an exceptionally safe
and well managed City, known for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities; a
vibrant and diverse local economy; a place where residents enjoy an outstanding quality
of life that fosters pride and an engaged community, encouraging families to come and
remain for generations.
PROPOSAL:
Zoning Code Amendment 17-01 proposes to amend the Grand Terrace Zoning Code as
it relates the regulation of accessory dwelling units. Last year the State legislature
adopted Senate Bill 1069, which limits city authority to regulate accessory dwelling
city building, parking and use standards, and requires ministerial review of such
accessory uses.
The amendment before the Commission will modify existing Chapter 18.69 (Second
Dwelling Units), Chapter 18.09 (Definitions) and Chapter 18.63 (Site and Architectural
Review).
Packet Pg. 28
C.2
BACKGROUND:
Administrative Site and Architectural Review and its findings; and the development
standards and findings contained in Chapter 18.69 (Secondary Dwelling Units). This
type of review is considered discretionary.
SB 1069 re-
structure meets the standards of the Code. Discretionary considerations, such as
requiring a different color palette or different roof pitch would not be permitted.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed amendment to Chapter 18.69 (Secondary Dwelling Units) would be to
first rename the ch
review of such uses. The review of these units is very straightforward, and staff does
not anticipate issues with this new process.
The size of the accessory unit can be up to 50% of the living area of the primary home,
this is an increase from 30%; however, the maximum size remains 1,200 square feet. If
a garage is converted into an accessory unit, a setback is not required. However, a
replacement garage is still required for the main residence.
A major change is to parking. Parking for an accessory unit is required, except if it is
within one-half mile of new public transit, it is part of the main residence, or on-street
parking permits are required but not offered to the occupant of the accessory unit.
Other changes that are not zoning related, include precluding fire sprinklers for
detached accessory dwelling units, precluding the collection of development impact
fees, and cannot require installation of new of new or separate utility connections or a
related fee or capacity charge for the accessory unit.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Code Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to the Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 the California Code of Regulations
because the revisions to this ordinance will cumulatively affect a handful of units and
the ordinance will not significantly impact traffic, noise, aesthetics, or any other
environmental condition.

Public notice was provided in accordance with state law by publishing a legal
advertisement in the Grand Terrace City News and posting the hearing notice in three
public places.
