A.DISCUSSION ITEMS
1.Discussion of Water Conservation Bills SB 606 and AB 1668
Sandra Molina, Planning and Development Services Director informed the Planning
Commission that two bills, SB 606 and AB 1668 recently signed into law by Governor
Brown regarding water efficiency, will be implemented in the next four years and has
invited Riverside Highland Water Company General Manager Don Hough to address
the concerns regarding the standards.
Don Hough, General Manager Riverside Highland Water Company gave a presentation

Minutes Grand Terrace Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board November 1, 2018
on the two bills. The bills call for new urban efficiency standards for indoor use, outdoor
use, water lost to leaks, and places the responsibility on water purveyors. The State
Water Board will establish the regulations by later than June 30, 2022. Mr. Hough gave
a brief description of the possible ways they will determine usage guidelines and
monitoring; however, nothing has been decided at this time and he stated this is all
based on speculation.
Commissioner Edward Giroux asked if Riverside Highland Water Company and other
water companies are being invited to discuss what will be considered reasonable or
unreasonable for each water district.
Mr. Hough advised they are invited but usually the water companies prefer to mail in
their comments. He added there are major water agencies and organizations that
represent water companies which speak on their behalf.
Commissioner Jeff Allen asked if the grey water system is allowed for water
conservation.
Mr. Hough stated each individual city determines whether it is allowed or not and asked
Director Molina to clarify if this was permitted in the City of Grand Terrace.
Director Molina stated that she would review possibility with the Building and Safety
Department and follow up with a response.
Commissioner Allen asked what efforts are taking place by the water company to help
encourage water conservation and change landscaping to drought tolerant landscaping.
Mr. Hough stated they are currently working with the City on a landscape ordinance and
currently new construction is applying those standards.
Chairman Comstock stated there are many homes in the area with swimming pools that
consume a lot of water as well as many avid gardeners; including himself. He believes
specific allowances will need to be made depending on the living circumstances of each
individual family.
Minutes Acceptance: Minutes of Nov 1, 2018 6:30 PM (CONSENT CALENDAR)
Mr. Hough stated that he hopes those things are taken into consideration for the sake of
the City however nothing has been determined at this time.
Chairman Comstock advised that new development in the City can help encourage
residents to convert landscaping to help meet the upcoming requirements.
Mr. Hough added that preparation can be made by using water wisely such as checking
water sprinklers, fixing small leaks, reporting running water in the City, etc.

added that all new development is subject to the water efficient landscape ordinance
which limits the amount of green space. Each development is given a water budget
which developers must adhere to.
C
spread the word of the upcoming changes. A short video clip or list of things to check for
to help preserve water can be helpful to all residents. He thanked Mr. Hough for coming

ADMINISTRATIVE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 18-07,
ALLOWING THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN 864 SQUARE
FOOT GUEST HOUSE AND A 408 SQUARE FOOT
WORKSHOP ON A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOT
LOCATED AT 12600 MOUNT VERNON AVENUE (APN
1167-361-29)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #3 Promote Economic Development, by increasing the
value of the property.
PROPOSAL:
Ignacio and Isabel Aguilar ("Applicants") represented by Rudy Lozano are proposing an
864 square foot guest house and a 408 square foot workshop. The property is located
on a 0.28-acre lot, located at 12600 Mount Vernon Avenue and is zoned R 1-7.2 -
Single Family Residential.
The proposed guest house and workshop is subject to an Administrative Conditional
Use Permit Review. The Applicant is also proposing to deviate from the twenty (20) foot
rear-yard setback requirement by four feet and a Minor Deviation application has been
submitted.
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA
The Project site is 0.28 acres and zoned R1-7.2 Single Family Residential, located at
the corner of Mount Vernon Avenue and Franklin Street. The proposed lot is relatively
flat and has an existing single-family residence. The proposed guest house and
Packet Pg. 11
B.1
workshop will be constructed on the north side of the property. The lot directly behind
the proposed property has a sixty foot wide easement belonging to Southern California
Edison.
The site is surrounded by one story residential homes zoned R1-7.2 - Single Family
Residential.
ANALYSIS:
General Plan/Zoning Consistency/Site Pln
The property is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan Land
Use Map, which is intended for single family residential uses. The proposed project to
construct a guest house and a workshop are permitted uses within the R1-7.2 - Single
Family Residential zoning in the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and consistent with the
Low-Density Residential Designation on the General Plan.
The proposal is compliant with the criteria for an Administrative Conditional Use Permit.
The project will be constructed on a lot already established by a single family residence,
will not exceed two thousand square feet in size, and meets all applicable zoning
regulations and standards with the submittal of the Minor Deviation.
The applicant is proposing to deviate from the twenty foot rear setback requirement by
reducing the rear setback by four feet. The Minor Deviation allows a modification that is
not greater than twenty percent of a listed requirement in the underlying zone district;
therefore, the proposed sixteen feet rear setback meets the threshold. In addition, the
lot directly behind the proposed property has a sixty-foot easement belonging to
Southern California Edison; therefore, there will not be privacy issues caused by the
setback reduction and the easement functions as a setback.
The findings to support the Minor Deviation are included in the attached Resolution. In
particular there is a special circumstance related to the lot size. The existing structures
on the property limit the placement of the guest house and workshop on the north
portion the site. In addition, there are no neighbors to the east or north side of the
property, and the neighbor located to the west has a detached garage, which is the
closest structure to the proposed guest house and workshop; therefore, the approval of
the Minor Deviation will not place adverse impacts into the adjacent properties.
The zoning requires a minimum distance of five feet between the existing house and
proposed accessory structure, and the proposed sixteen foot distance meets the
requirement. In addition, the proposed project meets applicable lot coverage and height
requirements.
Architectural Elevations/Floor Plans
The guest house floor plan includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a utility room and
living room. The workshop is an open space connected to the utility room of the guest
house.
Packet Pg. 12
B.1
A Condition of Approval has been included for the applicant to add a keyed color and
material legend to the architectural elevations to match the existing residence.
Reviewing Agency Comments
The project materials and plans were forwarded to Building and Safety and Public
Works for review and comment. Conditions are attached to the Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The project qualifies for an exemption from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303, which exempts the
construction of accessory structures. A Notice of Exemption has been included for
adoption.
MEETING NOTICE:
A meeting notice of the Project was provided to the adjacent property owners.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed guest house and workshop are consistent with the General Plan and
Zoning Map. The approval of the Minor Deviation will allow the applicant to maximize
the area between the main residence and the proposed guest house and workshop, the
four feet rear setback reduction will not be detrimental to the community. The proposal
will maintain the character of the home and the neighborhood; therefore, staff
recommends approval of the project.

WHEREAS, Mr. Rudy Lozano representing Ignacio and Isabel Aguilar submitted
Minor Deviation 18-04, Administrative Conditional Use Permit 18-07, and Environmental
18-09; requesting approval to construct an 864 square foot guest house and a 408
square foot workshop. The site is zoned R1-7.2, Low Density Single Family and has a
General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential;
WHEREAS, the Project Site is proposed on a lot measuring 0.28-acres.
WHEREAS, the Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, pursuant to Section 15303, which exempts new
construction of accessory (appurtenant) structures including garages, carports, patios,
swimming pools and fences.
WHEREAS, on December 6, 2018, the Planning Commission conducted a
Planning Commission meeting on the Project at the Grand Terrace City Council
Chambers located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, California, 92313 and
concluded said date; and
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 Planning Commission hereby finds that the Project is categorically exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to Section 15303. The Notice of Exemption prepared in connection with the
Project has been reviewed and considered and reflects the independent
judgment of the Planning Commission and is hereby adopted.
Attachment: ACUP 18-07-PC Resolution \[Revision 2\] (2580 : MD 18-04, Administrative CUP 18-07, E 18-09)
2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Minor Deviation 18-04:
a. A special circumstance regarding the size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property exist. The site is constrained by
Page 1 of 5
Packet Pg. 14
B.1.a
existing development. The existingstructures on thepropertylimit the
placement of the guest house/workshop on the north portion of the site.
Thefour-footsetback reduction allows functionalityof theproposed
structure and main house by allowing for greater separation.
b. Because of the special circumstance, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other
property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. Strict
application of the setback would reduce the separation between the
existing house and guest house limiting privacy between the two uses.
c. The granting of the Minor Deviation 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 deviation is in
compliance with the zoning district; therefore, the granting of the minor
deviation will not constitute a special privilege.
d. The granting of the Minor Deviation will not authorize a use or activity
which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the district governing the
parcel of property because accessory guest houses and workshops are
permissible in the zone district.
e. The granting of the Minor Deviation will not result in a situation
inconsistent with the latest adopted of General Plan. The requested Minor
Deviation will be consistent with the residential zoning designation and the
General Plan.
f. Conditions necessary to secure the above findings are made a part of the
approval of the Minor Deviation.
3. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Administrative
Conditional Use Permit 18-07:
a. The proposed use 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 within the city and will not
be injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the
city. The Project to construct a guest house and workshop with a 16-foot
rear setback will not be detrimental to the neighborhood. It will not be
injurious to the adjacent property to the north because the unbuildable 60-
foot wide Edison easement cannot be encroached upon and creates event
greater separation. The proposed guest house and workshop meet
Attachment: ACUP 18-07-PC Resolution \[Revision 2\] (2580 : MD 18-04, Administrative CUP 18-07, E 18-09)
applicable lot coverage and height requirements.
b. The proposed use will be consistent with the City The
proposed Project to add a guest house and workshop are permitted land
Page 2 of 5
Packet Pg. 15
B.1.a
uses within theR1-7.2 single-familyresidential zoning in theGrand
Terrace Municipal Code and consistent with the Low-Density Residential
Designation on the General Plan.
c. The proposed use meets the criteria for an administrative conditional use
as listed in Section 18.84.50. The proposed project meets the criteria for
Administrative Conditional Use Permit stated above. The proposed
accessory structures (guest house and workshop) will be constructed in a
lot of an already established single family residence. The proposal will not
exceed two thousand square feet in size, and all applicable zoning
regulations and standards will be met with the submittal of the Minor
Deviation.
d. 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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Minor Deviation and Administrative Conditional Use
Permit are hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
