2030 VISION STATEMENT
This staff reports supports Goal #3 to PromoteEconomic Development.
BACKGROUND
California Government Code Section 65402(a) states that "If a General Plan has been
adopted, no real property shall be disposed or acquired, until the location, purpose and
extent of such disposition or acquisition, \[has\] been submitted to and reported upon by
the planning agency as to conformity with said adopted general plan within forty (40)
days after the matter was submitted to it." Therefore, in order for the acquisition and
disposition of property to occur, the Planning Commission must first make a report on
the conformity of the proposed acquisition with the General Plan.
the property for
development of detached housing. The subject property is an irregularly shaped
property designated Medium High Density on the General Plan Land Use Map, and
zoned R3 High Density Residential allowing densities of up to 20 units per acre,
intended for higher density multiple family development, which may include affordable
housing. The minimum lot size is 12,000 square feet with a maximum density of 20
units per acre.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Medium High Density Residential designation is reserved for multiple family
development, with an emphasis on affordable housing projects. The Housing Element
includes Program 5 to make the subject property available for low income housing units.
Packet Pg. 3
A.1
This program has been in place since 2010.
The sale of this property is for the development of a minimum of 9 residential units.
These units are expected to be for sale market rate units. The proposed sale conforms
to the General Plan in several respects and takes in to consideration the challenges
with developing small scale affordable housing.
In 2010 the Authority worked with this same developer to build an affordable housing
rental project. The developer invested time and resources to the endeavor. In the end,
the developer was unable to secure sufficient funding to assist in the development of
the affordable housing project on this property. The challenge with small scale
affordable housing development is that, unless there are significant subsidies, small
scale housing projects do not allow for efficiencies on costs for the project to pencil out,
as would a large affordable development project.
The proceeds of this sale will go to the Housing Fund and those funds must be used
towards affordable housing projects, which is consistent with the purpose and intent of
the Housing Authority. By selling the property, the proceeds could be used in a
multitude of ways to support affordable housing including rehabilitation of existing
homes for occupancy by low to moderate income households, or such other affordable
housing programs the Authority may pursue. Therefore, the disposition of the Subject
Property is consistent with the intent of the General Plan and the Housing Authority.

said date.
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined, and resolved by the Planning
Commission of the City of Grand Terrace, as follows
Packet Pg. 5
A.1.a
1. The Planning Commission hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in
the above Recitals, are true and correct.
2. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Project is not subject to
environmental review pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of CEQA.
3. Based on substantial evidence presented to the Planning Commission during the
meeting, including public testimony, and written and oral staff reports, the
Planning Commission specifically finds:
a. The MHDR designation is reserved for multiple family development, with
an emphasis on affordable housing projects. The Housing Element
includes Program 5 to make the subject property available for low income
housing units. The sale of the property for the development of a minimum
of 9 residential units conforms to the General Plan in several respects and
takes in to consideration the challenges with developing small scale
affordable housing. Particularly, that without substantial subsidies small
scale affordable projects do not allow for efficiencies of scale that make
such housing practical to build.
b. Proceeds of the sale will go to the Housing Fund and those funds will be
used towards affordable projects, which could include rehabilitation of
existing homes for occupancy by low to moderate income households, or
other program that will benefit these households. Therefore, the
disposition of the Subject Property is consistent with the intent of the
General Plan.
4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,
this Commission hereby determines that the proposed disposition of the
subject property would be in conformity with the Grand Terrace General Plan in
accordance with State Government Code Section No. 65402.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:March 1, 2018
TITLE:Zoning Code Amendment 17-04
PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION:Discuss and Consider Adoption of a Resolution
recommending to Council adoption of Zoning Code
Amendment 17-04 amending certain chapters of the Zoning
Code pertaining to outdoor uses and storage in the
Commercial Manufacturing (CM), Restricted Manufacturing
(MR) and Industrial (M2) zone districts.
PROPOSAL:
Zoning Code Amendment 17-04 proposes to amend certain chapters of the Zoning
Code as it pertains to outdoor uses and storage in the Commercial Manufacturing (CM),
Restricted Manufacturing (MR) and Industrial (M2) zone districts, and also revise
definitions relating thereto and propose performance standards applicable city wide.
BACKGROUND:
On May 23, 2017, the City Council adopted a moratorium temporarily prohibiting the
establishment or expansion of outdoor storage and outdoor manufacturing uses in the
CM, MR, and M2 zone districts. The moratorium was extended for 12 months.
The Council adopted the moratorium due to several inquiries regarding the
establishment of outdoor storage and outdoor manufacturing uses. Such inquiries
included contractor storage yards, with outdoor storage of construction equipment and
materials; tractor/trailer storage; an asphalt manufacturing company that would combine
and package materials; and outdoor storage of chipped material.
Uses that include outdoor storage and outdoor manufacturing operations within theCity
of Grand Terrace present unique challenges because the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code does not adequately define or regulate these types of land uses. Manufacturing
uses, and some outdoor storage uses, such as contractor storage yards, are permitted
within certain zones but are not otherwise regulated. Meaning the zoning code does not
contain regulatory or development standards, such as screening, restriction on hours of
activity, or adequately define or differentiate between light, medium or heavy
manufacturing. Without specific standards and zoning regulations, it is difficult to
mitigate the secondary impacts generated by these types of uses.
Grand Terrace is 3.2 square miles in size, predominantly made up of residential land
Packet Pg. 8
B.2
uses, with supportive commercial uses and pockets of industrial land and uses. The
attached zoning map identifies with a red circle the areas that have CM, MR and M2
zoning that the amendments would regulate in the long term. (A large portion is shown
as CM and MR on the zoning map; however, the General Plan identifies the area as
Mixed Use and this zoning will change as part of the planned Specific Plan area. The
proposed changes would affect this area in the short term.)
The I-215/Barton Road Interchange is under construction, the Barton Road Bridge over
the UPRR tracks will be reconstructed with an at-grade crossing and a 130-acre specific
plan is underway for the properties adjacent (east) to the I-215 Freeway. The specific
plan extends Commerce Way from the north to Main Street to the south. Barton Road
and Main Street continue to be the two, main entry points in to the City of Grand
Terrace. Much of the areas zoned CM, MR and M2 are located along these two highly
visible and highly traveled roadways.
ANALYSIS
Grand Terrace General Plan
General Plan. The General Plan serves as the blueprint for future land development and
planning within the City limits. The General Plan is the City's vision for the future. The
document is used by decision makers, both public and private, to guide them in
decisions regarding land use and development throughout the City.
The Land Use Element is often considered the most critical element of a General Plan.
It provides overall guidance to all properties within the City through the distribution of
land uses, by type, including residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and open
space. The Land Use Element translates the City's long range vision for development in
the City and provides a Land Use Plan, goals, policies, and implementation programs to
achieve that vision.
The CM, MR and M2 zone districts are all designated Light Industrial or Floodplain
Industrial in the Land Use Element. The Light Industrial designation identifies permitted
uses for properties designated as Light Industrial include those uses that can be made
compatible with other surrounding uses within the City regarding noise, dust, odors,
vibration, glare, air quality, traffic, aesthetics, and hazardous materials. Typical uses
may include light manufacturing and assembly, small scale warehousing and
distribution, research and development, and administrative and service types of uses.
Properties designated with the Floodplain Industrial designation experience the potential
for severe flooding resulting from their proximity to the Santa Ana River. Properties
within this designation are planned for ultimate development as light industrial,
nonpolluting uses. Proposed uses in the Floodplain Industrial designation must
demonstrate that adequate measures can be implemented to ensure that the use is
Packet Pg. 9
B.2
effectively protected from identified flood hazards.
The Land Use Element contains the following Goal and Policies relating to industrial
uses:
Goal 2.4: Provide for a mix of attractive industrial land uses designed to
generate employment opportunities.
Policy 2.4.1: The City shall promote the development of employment generating,
light, nonpolluting industry, within the present land use pattern.
Policy 2.4.2: The City shall promote the development of light, non-polluting
industrial uses within the City.
Policy 2.4.3: Whenever feasible, industrially designated areas shall be master
Policy 2.4.4: Buffering to prevent potential land use incompatibilities between
industrial areas and other areas shall be given special consideration. Specific
features could include increased setbacks, walls, berms, and landscaping.
ncy shall assist in the consolidation
and assemblage of properties to assure adequate sized quality development with
areas designated as light industrial.
While the General Plan identifies the vision for the City, the zoning code implements the
vision. The zoning districts, permitted uses and standards need to be consistent with the
intent of the General Plan, including the intent of the industrial land use designations
ANALYSIS:
At the time the temporary moratorium was adopted it was anticipated that review of the
existing code would include the following:
1.
2.
3. Revise the intent of the CM, MR and M-2 zone districts to align them with the
adopted General Plan
4. Revise the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses with the CM, MR and
M-2 zone districts, with greater distinction of uses that would fall within the
manufacturing and outdoor storage categories
6. Revise the zoning code to include land use regulations and operational
Packet Pg. 10
B.2
standards related to manufacturing and outdoor storage uses
7. Determine the permit and review process for these uses.
Packet Pg. 11
B.2
Proposed code revisions
Definitions - Attachment 2
Chapter 18.06 Definitions is proposed to be revised to better define and provide greater
are those that include assembly, fabrication, or
packaging and do not involve container truck traffic or transport bulky items. The resulting
product is typically finished and ready for consumption. Light industrial does not generate
offensive impacts. Medium manufacturing will have truck traffic, may have secondary
impacts and the end product may go to another industrial user, or to another facility. Whereas
heavy industrial will have frequent truck traffic, and the end product is semi-finished.
Definitio
new definitions are also shown in Attachment 2.
Chapters 18.36 -CM Commercial Manufacturing, 18.39 MR Restricted
Manufacturing and 18.40 M2 Industrial zone district
Attachment 3 contains the above referenced chapters, in redline format. The approach
taken with the revisions to the CM, MR and M2 district were to ensure that the permitted
outdoor uses are properly screened. Outdoor uses would require a conditional use
permit and would require screen walls and landscaping, whereas the same use
contained completely indoors would not require a conditional use permit. Manufacturing
uses are only allowed in fully enclosed buildings.
For all three chapters, proposed revisions to the development standards include
provisions for landscape setbacks along public streets and when adjacent to residential
uses; screening requirements for outdoor storage, and a general prohibition on uses
that include the storage of hazardous and/or flammable material, such pallet yards and
other wood products, and tire storage.
CM zone district - For this chapter, very minor changes have been made to the list of
permitted and conditionally permitted uses. In this zone district, C2 uses are allowed
and this stays consistent.
MR zone district - Again, in this chapter, uses that tend to have an outdoor component
such as building supplies sales and public storage facilities (mini storage) are permitted
without a CUP when storage is indoors. Where outdoors, then a CUP is required.
A major change for this zone district is to allow uses listed in the CM zone, within this
zone district. This would allow for C2 and CM uses. Inclusion of public utility uses is also
proposed.
M2 zone district - Consistent throughout out is the distinction in permitting (CUP or no
Packet Pg. 12
B.2
CUP) when uses with storage are proposed, as discussed above. In this zone district,
public utility uses are included. This change is appropriate given that SCE has facilities
in this district. Staff is also recommending the inclusion of wholesale plant nurseries and
recreational vehicle storage.
In the City there is one area zoned M2 that also has a Floodplain Overlay District. This
area has topographical and other natural challenges, as well as easement constraints.
Staff is recommending a provision that would allow for interim use standards, that would
allow lesser development standards for uses that are interim. The determination as to
whether a use is interim is made by the City Manager.
New Chapter 18.74 Performance Standards
New chapter 18.74 is proposed to establish performance standards applicable to all
properties and uses within the City. The standards cover such items as noise, vibration,
odors, discharges into sewer/storm drains. Most zoning codes have a chapter or section
that covers these types of standards, so it would be reasonable for the Grand Terrace to
contain such standards in the zoning code. Additionally, in the applicability statement, it
is states that the City can place conditions of approval to ensure conformance with the
performance standards.
CONCLUSION:
The recommended changes address the issues that were raised at the time that the
temporary moratorium was put in place. The distinction between light, medium and
heavy manufacturing uses allows staff and users to determine the appropriate zone
district the use is allowed in. The development standards address the concerns relating
to screening outdoor uses, and aesthetics are addressed through landscape setback
requirement.
