City of Grand Terrace Page 3 C.1 AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE:April 18, 2019 TITLE:A General Plan Amendment 18-01 and Zoning Code Amendment 18-01 Relating to the Specific Plan Requirement for Development in the Hillside Residential Area PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director RECOMMENDATION:1)Conduct a public hearing; 2)Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 18-01 AMENDING POLICY 2.2.1, TABLE 2.3 AND TABLE 2.6 OF THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE ELEMENT RELATING TO THE HILLSIDE LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LAND USE DESIGNATION;and 3)Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT ZONING CODE AMENDMENT 18-01 AMENDING SECTION 18.10.040 OF CHAPTER 18.10 OF TITLE 18 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE 2030 VISION STATEMENT: Development by providing for development in hillside residential areas where it is reasonable to develop land without the requirement for a specific plan. BACKGROUND: the construction of a single-family residence on an existing one-acre parcel located in the Hillside Residential (RH) zone and Hillside Low Density Residential (HLDR) land use designation that had previously been developed. The parcel is readily served by infrastructure, has public access and can receive fire protection services. The RH and HLDR designations require the preparation of a specific plan. The requirement for a specific plan does not seem appropriate for a parcel exhibiting the cited development characteristics, therefore a General Plan Amendmentand Zoning Code Amendment have been filed to amend these documents to establish criteria by Packet Pg. 4 C.1 which it is appropriate to not require a specific plan. In particularly, General Plan Amendment 18-01 proposes to amend the General Plan Land Use Element (Policy 2.2.1, Table 2.3 and Table 2.6) and Zoning Code Amendment 18-01 proposes to amend Section 18.10.040 of Chapter 18-10-Residential Districts. The amendments propose that when a parcel in the RH zone district and HLDR land use designation is one acre or less in size, served by infrastructure, have public access, and can be provided fire protection services, would not be required to prepare a specific plan. DISCUSSION: A specific plan is regulated by the California Government Code (Section 65451 through 65470) and itemizes the components of a specific plan. Particularly, it requires a specific plan to include a text and a diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail: (1) The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space, within the area covered by the plan. (2) The proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. (3) The standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. (4) A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects, and financing measures necessary to carry out paragraphs (1), (2), and (3). opment proposed within the Hillside designation will require special evaluation of all environmental issues and must include provisions for the protection of natural resources within the area. Properties within the designated areas must demonstrate that building pads and streets can be graded with minimal impact to the hillside and views, and that adequate utilities and public services, including drainage, domestic water, sanitary sewer, fire protection can be provided. Proposed developments within this ar It is evident that given the requirements of the Government Code and General Plan that Packet Pg. 5 C.1 the requirements are intended for development projects that lack infrastructure, including access, have topography concerns, and are of larger scale. The current regulations do not consider small parcels served with infrastructure, access and can be served by the fire department. The proposed amendment will provide for that consideration. The General Plan Land Use Element would revise Policy 2.2, Table 2.3 and Table 2.6 and the Zoning Code Amendment would amend Section/Table 18.10.040, as shown in Attachment 1, and will provide that a specific plan may not be required for existing parcels that are one acre or less in size, are readily served by existing infrastructure, have public access, and fire services can be readily provided. SB 18 Consultation Pursuant to Senate Bill 18, Government Code §65352.3, whenever the General Plan is proposed to be amended the City must provide for consultation with Native American Tribes for the purpose of preserving places, features and objects of cultural significance. Consultation letters were mailed to the California Native American Tribes identified by the California Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) which began a ninety (90) day consultation period. Only one Native American Tribe commented and recommended conditions related development of the site, but not particularly the general plan amendment. PUBLIC NOTICE: Notice of the public hearing was published in the Grand Terrace City News, posted in three locations, and mailed to property owners 10 days prior to the hearing date. The standard mailing radius is 300 feet from the subject property lines. In this instance, the mailing was expanded to property owners within 600 feet from the terminus of Westwood Street. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The General Plan Amendment 18-01 and the Zoning Code Amendment 18-01 are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The project will not have a significant effect on the environment because the amendments only change administration procedures to the requirement of the specific plan.

Each element of the General Plan provides Goals, Programs, and Policies as required by State Law; and WHEREAS, the Hillside Low Density Residential (HLDR) designation is applied to the hillside areas of Blue Mountain located considered a natural resource subject to special consideration to protect the scenic views and environmental resources of the mountain; and WHEREAS, the HLDR designation of the General Plan requires that properties within the designated areas demonstrate that building pads and streets can be graded with minimal impact to the hillside and views, and that adequate utilities and public services, including drainage, domestic water, sanitary sewer, fire protection can be provided. It requires that proposed developments within the HLDR prepare a specific plan; and WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment 18-01 proposes to amend the General Plan Land Use Element so that properties of a certain size with infrastructure readily available and that can be readily provided fire protection services may be developed without the requirement for a specific plan; and WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment 18-01 is exempt from the California Attachment: Resolution GPA 18-01 \[Revision 1\] (GPA 18-01 and ZCA 18-01) Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) in that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. WHEREAS, on April 18, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on General Plan Amendment 18-at the Grand Terrace Council Chambers located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, California 92313 and concluded the hearing on said date; and Page 1 of 5 Packet Pg. 11 C.1.b WHEREAS,all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Grand Terrace: 1. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference. 2. Based upon the forgoing, oral and written testimony presented by members of the public and City staff (including reports and presentations made at the public hearing), the Planning Commission hereby finds that the General Plan Amendment 18-01 satisfies the requirements of CEQA because: a. The activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The project will not have a significant effect on the environment because the amendment only changes administration procedures to the requirement of the specific plan. 3. Based upon the forgoing, oral and written testimony presented by members of the public and City staff (including reports and presentations made at the public hearing), the Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to General Plan Amendment 18-01: a. General Plan Amendment 18-01 is consistent with the intent of the Hillside Low Density Residential designation of the General Plan Land Use Element. The existing designation identifies that the HLDR designation requires preparation of a specific plan in the hillside area. Given the topography of the hillside area, lack of infrastructure (i.e. sewer, water, etc.); lack of access and challenges related to fire protection services, the preparation of a specific plan is appropriate. However, the HLDR designation does not provide consideration for properties that do not exhibit those characteristics. Attachment: Resolution GPA 18-01 \[Revision 1\] (GPA 18-01 and ZCA 18-01) General Plan Amendment 18-01 proposes to amend the Land Use Element so that it provides consideration from specific plan requirements for those properties that are one acre or less in size, are readily served by existing infrastructure where topography, inadequate infrastructure, and access are present. It appropriate to amend the Land Use Element, as proposed, because the amendment carves out only limited circumstances where a specific plan would not be required, and therefore, the amendment is a procedural change. In all other circumstances, a specific plan would be required in accordance with the General Plan. Therefore, this amendment is consistent with the General Plan. Page 2 of 5 Packet Pg. 12 C.1.b b.The Amendment promotes Land Use Goal 2.2to preserve and enhance because it maintains the integrity of the intent of the specific plan requirement. c. Adoption of this General Plan Amendment is not in conflict with Section 65358(b) of the Government Code relating to the number of amendments permitted per year, because this amendment is the first amendment of calendar year 2019. 4. Based upon the forgoing, oral and written testimony presented by members of the public and City staff (including reports and presentations made at the public hearing), this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt General Plan Amendment 18-01, attached hereto as Exhibits 1.

Based upon the forgoing, oral and written testimony presented by members of the public and City staff (including reports and presentations made at the public hearing), the Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Zoning Code Amendment 18-01: a. The proposed Zoning Code Amendment 18-01 will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City because the amendment identifies the parameters by which a specific plan is not required, specifically lots that are one acre or less in size, that are served by existing infrastructure, have public access, and that can be provided with fire services. It is not justifiable to require a specific plan that meet these criteria and are not creating the potential impacts of lots without infrastructure, circulation, access or that create other impacts. b. The proposed Zoning Code amendment is consistent with the General Plan for which General Plan Amendment 18-01 has been filed to similarly amend the requirement for a specific plan. 3.

PROPOSAL: Frank Randall and Melanie Randall ("Applicants") represented by Todd Kessler of US Modular Inc., have filed Site and Architectural Review (SA 17-10) and Environmental (E 17-09) proposing the construction of a 3,884-square foot single family modular residence with an 800 square feet three-car garage on a one-acre lot. The proposed home will be a two-story modular residence located at 23400 Westwood Street -491-03). The site will be accessed from the terminus of Westwood Street, via an unpaved road easement leading to the subject property. The proposed property is designated Hillside Low Density Residential (HLDR) on the General Plan Land Use Map and it is zoned Hillside Residential on the Zoning Map. All development in the Hillside Residential area requires the preparation of a Specific Plan with a density of one dwelling unit per gross acre; however, the General Plan (GPA 18- 01) and Zoning Code (ZCA 18-01) amendment, which exempts properties that are one acre or less in size and are served by existing infrastructure from the requirement to prepare a specific plan, has been proposed and Planning Commission has considered these amendments for City Council approval. Because these amendments are not yet approv Packet Pg. 21 C.2 aforementioned amendments to the General Plan and Zoning Code. If the City Council does not approve these amendments, then Site and Architectural Review (SA 17-10) and Environmental (E 17- proceed. SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA: The proposed project site is located within the boundaries of a 29-acre property -491-03). The project will be constructed on a site that had been previously developed with a single-family residence which has since been demolished due to fire damage. The site presently contains remnants from the previous residence, including a graded building pad, two palm trees, and a curved retaining wall with two sets of stairs leading to a lower graded area were a pool was once located and has since been filled in with dirt. The south west corner of the property has a dirt driveway leading to the graded pad. The existing graded area is located to the west side of the property, this is the highest grade from which the site slopes all around. The proposed property is located around 365 feet from the nearest residence. There is an existing six (6) foot easement belonging to Southern California Edison along the west side of the property and a blanket ingress/egress easement over the proposed property (APN: 0276-491-02). The surrounding uses are as follows: Zoning General Plan Existing Land Uses North, South, East, & West HR Hillside Low Density Vacant Land Residential ANALYSIS: General Plan and Zoning Consistency The Project site is designated Hillside Low-Density Residential which permits single family residential at a density of one-unit per acre. The Project complies with the density of one dwelling unit per gross acre and the project will be constructed on a site previously developed with a single-family residence; therefore, infrastructure such as road access, utilities, and services have been previously established to serve the site. The Project is consistent with proposed General Plan Amendment 18-01, which, once approved by the City Council and effective, will exempt properties that are one acre or less in size, have access, are served by existing infrastructure and can be provided fire services from the requirement to prepare a specific plan. The proposed residence is located within the very high fire hazard severity zone pursuant to the General Plan Public Health and Safety Element. The structure will be built in compliance with the requirements for fire resistive construction in the Building Packet Pg. 22 C.2 Code as well as the San Bernardino County Fire Department regulations for high fire zone areas. The site is zoned RH-Hillside Residential Zoning which allows single family residential uses. The proposed single-family development is consistent with the Zoning Code as it meets the minimum lot density of one dwelling unit per gross acre. This zoning designation is intended for very low single family detached residential uses. The Planning Commission has considered an amendment to the Municipal Code for Hillside Residential Zoning (ZCA 18-01) for City Council approval so that properties that are one acre or less and have established road access and utilities will be exempt from the requirement of preparing a Specific Plan. The approval of this item will be ultimate approval of ZCA 19-01 and the effective date of the same. This zoning designation is intended for very low single family detached residential uses. The Project conforms to proposed Zoning Code Amendment 18-01 which proposes to be amended to exempt one-acre lots that have established road access and utilities form the requirement of preparing a Specific Plan. The proposed project meets the design standards of the Very Low-Density Residential Single-Family zoning; including setback requirements, height, building height, and building coverage Site Plan/Grading The residence is proposed to be constructed within the building envelope of the previous residence. The home will be located on the west side of the property and the entrance will face the south. The south west corner of the property is delineated by an existing dirt driveway which will be paved for use as the new driveway. The back yard of the property faces the north and the Applicants will incorporate the existing retaining wall and existing stairs as part of the project. Minimal grading will occur with the project as a flat pad already exists and is the limits of the proposed development. Minor grubbing and clearing would occur to prep the site for development. Access The property will be accessed from the terminus of Westwood Street by a sixteen (16) foot wide road easement. The road is currently a dirt path; however, the road will need to be improved to an all-weather surface that can support fire vehicles. Gas and water lines are also found within the road easement. There is an existing barrier gate at Westwood Street that will be replaced with a 5'-6" Packet Pg. 23 C.2 high tubular fence and gate. The gate will be framed with two decorative pilasters. These gate and fence are being constructed to protect the site from trespassing activities. Conditions have been included for access rights to be granted to the City and County for emergency vehicles, and for public utilities. The gate also requires a Knox lock and approval by the property owner prior to construction. The applicant will be required to pave each side of the gate for a distance of 20 feet. Improvements The site is served by public utilities, except for sewer. Due to the distance from the residence to the sewer mainline, it is not reasonable to connect to the sewer mainline. Therefore, the Applicants are proposing to install a septic tank for wastewater. Colton Wastewater is in agreement with this proposal. A fire hydrant has been conditioned to be located no less than 150 feet from the residence. A vinyl fence is proposed to be placed around the residence to provide a yard area. The property boundaries are not proposed to be fenced. There is an existing wall that will be decoratively treated. Landscape Plan The conceptual landscape plan includes low and moderate water plant material, such as agave and succulent plants. Two existing palm trees are proposed to be incorporated within the landscape plan. The planting areas will be located around the residence and the front entrance of the house. The landscape includes a granite walkway around the perimeter of the house and ground cover material on the sloped areas, and an 807 square feet lawn area located at the back yard. Architectural Elevations/Floor Plans The architectural elements include horizontal stone sliding, horizontal metal railings on the decks, decorative sconces, and decorative stacked stone veneer on the pilasters and the wainscot around the house. The project will include a cool color scheme in shades of gray, the siding is proposed to be off white, the accent stone veneer will be in grey tones, and the roof shingles are proposed in dark blue gray. AGENCY REVIEW: The plans were distributed to various agencies for their comments. Conditions of approval related to Building and Safety are included on the memorandum dated May 9, 2018, included in the draft resolution as Exhibit 1.

The San Manuel Band of Mission Indians requested the inclusion of conditions in the event of an unanticipated find. These conditions are included in the resolution. The Riverside Highland Water Company has reviewed the project and indicated that they can serve it. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Project to construct a single-story residence is categorically exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Code of Regulations, Title 14, pursuant to Section 15303, which exempts the construction of one single family residence in a residential zone. PUBLIC NOTICE: Public notice was published in the Grand Terrace City News and mailed to property owners within 600 feet of the site. In addition, a copy of the notice was posted in three public places. To date, City staff has not received any comments regarding the proposed Project. CONCLUSION: The proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, including the proposed amendments. The Project will result in development of a lot that previously had a home, findings can be made in support of the Project and Staff recommends approval of the project.

Packet Pg. 27 C.2.a NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Grand Terrace: 1. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference. 2. Based upon the forgoing and written and oral presentations made by members of the public and City staff at the aforementioned public hearing (including reports and exhibits), the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board hereby finds that the Project is categorically exempt, pursuant to Section 15303, from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Notice of Exemption prepared in connection with the Project has been reviewed and considered and reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board and is hereby adopted. 3. Based upon the forgoing and written and oral presentations made by members of the public and City staff at the aforementioned public hearing (including reports and exhibits), the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with respect to Site and Architectural Review 17-10: a. The proposed single-family home is consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and the General Plan. The project is designated Hillside Low Density Residential on the General Plan Land Use Map and it is zoned RH-Hillside Residential on the zoning map. The Project complies with the density of one dwelling unit per gross acre and the project will be constructed on a site previously developed with a single-family residence; therefore, infrastructure such as road access, utilities, and services have been previously established to serve the site. The Project is consistent with General Plan Amendment 18-01, which will exempt properties that are one acre or less in size, have access, are served by existing infrastructure and can be provided fire services from the requirement to prepare a specific plan. The Project is consistent with the Health and Safety Element which requires structures located in high fire hazard severity zone areas be built in compliance with the requirements for fire resistive construction of the Building Code as well as Attachment: SA 17-10_Resolution \[Revision 4\] (SA 17-10 and E 17-09) the San Bernardino County Fire Department. This zoning designation is intended for very low single family detached residential uses. The proposed development is consistent with the Municipal Code as it meets the minimum lot density of one dwelling unit per gross acre. Zoning Code Amendment 18-01 is proposed to be amended to exempt one-acre lots that have established road access and utilities form the requirement of preparing a Specific Plan. The proposed project exceeds the design standards of the Very Low-Density Residential Page 2 of 9 Packet Pg. 28 C.2.a Single-Family zoning; including setback requirements, height, building height, and building coverage. b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project are visually harmonious with this site, surrounding sites, and structures, that they do not interfere with the neighbors' privacy, that they do not unnecessarily block scenic views from other structures and/or public areas and are in scale with the townscape and natural landscape of the area. The location and architecture of the proposed residence will enhance the surrounding area and will be visually harmonious. The proposed residence will require minimum grading because the lot had been previously developed with a single-family home. The road access, public utilities, and services had been previously established; therefore, the impact to the hillside residential view and natural resources will be minimal. The project will not interfere with the existing topography, impact environmental resources, impact existing , or block scenic views. c. The architectural design of structures, their materials and colors are visually harmonious with surrounding development, natural landforms, are functional for the proposed project and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code. The proposed project is a two-story modular home. The architectural elements include horizontal siding, horizontal metal railings on the decks, decorative stacked stone on the pilasters and on the wainscot around the house. The project will include a gray color scheme. The siding is proposed to be off white, the accent stone veneer will be in grey tones, and the roof shingles are proposed in dark blue gray. The design and color of the structure will enhance the property and be visually harmonious with 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 site will be landscaped in accordance with City and state regulations. The proposed landscaping includes drought tolerant plant material. Plant material includes shrubs Agave Attenuata grasses Attachment: SA 17-10_Resolution \[Revision 4\] (SA 17-10 and E 17-09) Bulbrine Frutescens low shrubs Baccharis and Centennial foundation shrubs Cisturs and mixed small succulents, such as Aeonium Arboretum and Black Rose Aeonium. A decomposed granite walk way wraps around the entrance of the house located on the south side, the west, and the north side. The north east corner of the home will have an 807 square foot lawn area and about eleven feet of the slope located to the east side of the property will be ground covered with a combination of drought tolerant planting material. Page 3 of 9 Packet Pg. 29 C.2.a e. There is no indiscriminate clearing of property, destruction of trees, natural vegetation, or the excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides, thus the natural beauty of the city, its setting, and natural landforms are preserved. Previously, the proposed lot had a single-family home which was demolished, the footprint of the previous residence can be seen from a few structural remains including a retaining wall and steps located to the north side of the property. Because the lot was previously graded, the area where the proposed home will be constructed is relatively flat and bare. The proposed grading for the project will be minimal and there will not be clearing of property and natural vegetation. In addition, two existing palm trees are proposed to be part of the landscape; therefore, there will not be any destruction of trees. f. Conditions of approval for this project necessary to secure the purposes of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and General Plan are made a part of this approval as set forth in the accompanying Resolution of Approval.
