conformity of such programs with the adopted general plan, or part thereof.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY:
The proposed 5-year Plan identifies each street and/or street segment that will be
maintained for each of the next five fiscal years. Some streets will receive a slurry seal,
some a chip seal or an overlay. The 5-year Plan does not identify construction of any
new streets.
ation Element identifies all streets within the City and classifies them as
Collector, Divided Major Highway, Major Highway, Secondary Highway, or Potential
Major Highway. All other streets not classified, are considered local streets. The

AVENUE (APN 0275-282-14)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report support Goal #3 Promote Economic Development.
PROPOSAL:
On April 16, 2015, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and adopted
Resolution 2015-03 approving Site and Architectural Review 14-06 and Administrative
Site and Architectural Review 14-08 to construct a single family residence and a second
family unit, located at 11832 Burns Avenue. The approval of the adopted resolution
expired on April 16, 2016 and a project extension was not filed.
The Applicant, Mr. Joab Jerome, is requesting the re-approval of Site and Architectural
Review (SA) 14-06-A1 and Administrative Site and Architectural Review (ASA) 14-08-
A1 to construct a 1,615 square foot single family residence with two-car garage, and a
1,200 square foot second dwelling unit with a two-car garage on a single parcel. The
project site measures 15,621 square feet and is zoned R1-7.2 Single Family with an
Agricultural Overlay. The project is located at 11832 and 11834 Burns Street,
-282-14. A Letter of Intent is attached.
The Applicant is the property owner of the lot directly behind the subject site upon which
a single family residence is proposed.
SITE AND SURROUNDINGAREA:
The site is currently vacant and relatively flat. Burns Avenue is a 60-foot wide local
street, it is surrounded by Single Family Residential (R 1-7.2) to the north, south and
Packet Pg. 35
C.6
west; and Low Medium Density (R2) to the east, with an Agricultural Overlay District
(AG).
ANALYSIS:
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The proposed single family residence and second family unit conform with the Low
Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan Land Use Map. The site is zoned R1-7.2
Single Family with an Agriculture Overlay District (AG), which is intended for single
family residential uses and it permits second family detached units, provided that
Chapter 18.69 - Second Family Units zoning requirements have been met. This zone
district requires a minimum lot size of 7,200 square feet. The proposed primary
residence and second family unit meet applicable setbacks, lot coverage and height
requirements.
Per Chapter 18.69 - Second Family Units, one of the two dwellings must be occupied by
the owner of the property and the second family unit cannot be sold, transferred or
assigned separately from the main single-family dwelling. A covenant to restrict the
property with the requirements of Chapter 18.69 will be required to be recorded prior to
issuance of a building permit. The applicant has stated he will live in one of the two
homes.
Site Plan/Grading/Improvements
The site design conforms to setback, height limits and lot coverage requirements of the
R1-7.2 zone. Improvements include a fifteen (15) feet dedication along Burns Avenue
and a twenty six (26) feet access easement that runs parallel to the south side of the
property, providing access to the property directly behind. The access easement is
proposed to be granted to the adjacent lot to the west. As a condition of approval the
applicant is required to grant the easements for the benefit of the adjacent property.
The project is also proposing six foot masonry walls on the north, south and west,
property lines. In accordance with the Zoning Code, the Applicant is required to
complete all right-of-way improvements including, but not limited to, pavement, curb,
gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, street trees and street lights.
Landscape Plan
Conceptually, there is one landscape plan for both properties; however, the construction
plans for this project will require the preparation of an individual landscape and irrigation
plan.
The conceptual landscape plan shows a combination of trees and ground cover to
complement the residences. At the request of Staff and for water conservation
purposes, the amount of grass area has been reduced and replaced with mulch. It
appears that the total landscape area is less than 5,000 square feet; therefore, the
landscape and irrigation plan will be required and landscape improvements are required
Packet Pg. 36
C.6
to be installed prior to fi
street tree list will also be installed.
Architectural Elevations/Floor Plans
The architectural elevations for the two residences show two single-story contemporary
style homes. The front residence is approximately 1,600 square feet with a 500 square
foot garage, three bedrooms and three baths. The second family unit is 1,200 square
feet with a 500 square foot garage, two bedrooms and two baths. Each unit has indoor
laundry a full kitchen and open dining and living room areas.
The applicant is proposing to use brown-tone colors for the two residences. The primary

submitted in 2015, are still applicable (attached as Exhibit 4), and 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 and secondary dwelling unit is
categorically exempt per the California Environmental Quality Act, Code of Regulations,
Title 14, Section 15332, which exempts infill development when the project is
compatible with the General Plan and Zoning Code, is on less than five acres
substantially surrounded by urban uses, is devoid of habitat for biological resources, is
served by public utilities and services, and there are no impacts to traffic noise, air
quality or water quality. A Notice of Exemption has been included for adoption.
PUBLIC NOTICE:

Project has been reviewed and considered and reflects the independent
judgment of the Planning Commission, and is hereby adopted.
2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Architectural and Site
Review 14-06-A1, and Administrative Site and Architectural Review 14-08-A1:
a. The Project is consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code and the General Plan. The proposed Project to construct a single
family residence is consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and
the General plan in that it meets the standards of the R1-7.2 zoning and
-Density Residential
category, and the regulations contained in Chapter 18.69 regulating
second family units.
b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project
are visually harmonious with this site and 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 design and appearance of the proposed residences are
complementary with existing residential development in the City. In
addition, the site will be appropriately landscaped to enhance and not
detract for any existing development along Burns Avenue.
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 residences will have a stucco finish with
contrasting accent colors. Colors will be earth tone, and the design is
complementary to surrounding properties.
d. The plan for landscaping and open spaces provide 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 site
will be landscaped with trees and shrubs, and will be visually pleasing.
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. There is no indiscriminate clearing of the lot. The land is
relatively flat and will not entail significant grading.
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.

property and complements the main residence as well as the surrounding
area.
b. The second-family unit is clearly subordinate in size, location, appearance
and access to the main residence.

attached three-car garage and a 2,706 square foot attached RV garage on a 28,076
square foot lot. The Project Site is zoned R1-7.2, Single Family Residential, with an
Agricultural (AG) Overlay and is located The project is located south of Vivienda
Avenue, approximately 160 feet west of Burns Avenue, APN: 0275-282-20. A Lettter of
Intent is attached.
Mr. Jerome also owns the adjacent lot that fronts on Burns Avenue, identified as 11832
Burns Avenue. The Applicant is still proposing to construction a single family residence
with a second dwelling unit on the property located at 11832 Burns Avenue.
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The site is currently vacant and is surrounded by single family homes and vacant lots on
both sides of Burns Avenue. The surrounding area is zoned R1-7.2 Single Family
Residential (single family residential minimum 7,200 square feet), with an Agricultural
(AG) Overlay District.
ANALYSIS:
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The subject site is located in the Low Density Residential category of the General Plan.
It is zoned R1-7.2 Single Family with an Agricultural (AG) Overlay designation. The
proposed single family residence conforms to the General Plan land use and Zoning
designations which are intended for single family residential uses. The square foot lot
meets the minimum lot size requirements and the placement of the home meets
required structural setbacks.
Site Plan/Grading Plan
The lot does not have direct access to Burns Avenue, and ingress and egress will be
provided through a proposed 26-foot wide access easement on the south side of the
adjacent lot to the east. Easements for drainage and utilities through the adjacent
property are also required. These easements must be obtained and recorded prior to
issuance of building permits.
The site design conforms to setback, height limits and lot coverage requirements of the
R1-7.2 zone. Improvements include stucco six foot masonry walls on the north, south,
east, and west property lines. In accordance with the Zoning Code, the Applicant is
required to complete all right-of-way improvements including, but not limited to,
pavement, curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveway approaches, street trees and street lights.
On the very northeast corner of the site is a 10 foot wide easement granted to 11818
Burns Avenue. It appears it is for maintenance purposes and there is a structure on
11818 Burns which is close to the shared property line. The construction of the
residence does not appear to obstruct the use of the easement.

C.7
Architectural Elevations/Floor Plans
The elevations show a two-story contemporary style home. The front, rear, and side
yards of the residence are accented with architectural enhancements and fascia trim
along with a complementing color scheme for the stucco and roof tiles. The attached
oversize recreational vehicle garage is of the same architectural style of the main
residence. The floor plans show one master bedroom and three bedrooms. The plans
also include a dedicated office, kitchen and open dining and living room areas.
The architectural elevations and floor plans were revised, pursuant to the May 7, 2015,
and privacy glass. The applicant will either install tinted glass or frosted glass.
The applicant is proposing to use gray-tone colors for the residence. The primary color
Landscape Plan
On May 7, 2015, the Commission approved revised landscape plans for the Project.
The revised plan showed Carolina Laurel Cherry trees along the north boundary. The
conceptual landscape plan shows the Cherry trees, and this requirement is still in the
proposed conditions of approval. In accordance with City codes, all planting must be
water efficient.
AGENCY REVIEWS:
The reviewing agencies were contacted regarding the re-application. The Building and
Safety Division, Public Works Department and San Bernardino County Fire have
provided updated Conditions of Approval, and they are included in the Resolution.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On September 29, 2016, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and
continued this item to November 3, 2016, to allow Staff to make a requested a change
to the proposed ordinance. The September 29, 2016, report is attached for reference.

As proposed on September 29, the ordinance identified ancillary sale, shown below:

square feet, whichever is less for the, offering, furnishing, or marketing of
conventional cigars cigarettes or tobacco. For any grocery store, convenience
market,
distribution, deliver, offering, furnishing or marketing of conventional cigars,
cigarettes or tobacco. The display, sale, distribution, delivery, offering, furnishing, or

regardless of square footage used, is subject to the restrictions of this chapter and
shall not
Any use that sells traditional tobacco items that falls within the criteria above would be
exempt and not classified as a smoke shop or tobacco store and exempt from requiring
a CUP. However, the Commission stated that traditional tobacco products and e-
cigarette products should be regulated the same. Therefore, staff has revised the
definition as follows:
or other similar market uses no more than two five percent (5%)of its gross floor
area, or 250 square feet, whichever is less for the, offering, furnishing, or marketing
of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia/ conventional cigars cigarettes or
tobacco. For any grocery store, convenience market, retail kiosk or similar use
five square feet are used for the display sale, distribution, deliver, offering, furnishing
or marketing of tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia/ conventional cigars,
cigarettes or tobacco. The display, sale, distribution, delivery, offering, furnishing, or
marketing of ecigarettes or any other tobacco products or tobacco paraphernalia,
regardless of square footage used, is subject to the restrictions of this chapter and
Staff also recommends revising the percentage to 5% instead of 2%. These revisions
strikes a balance between regulating full smoke shops/tobacco retailers by requiring a
conditional use permit, and allowing some level of ancillary sales for businesses whose
primary use is not the sale of tobacco products.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing and vote to
recommend City Council approval of the draft ordinance contained in the Resolution.

01 FOR THE PURPOSE OF REGULATING SMOKE SHOPS AND
TOBACCO STORES
WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 65800 and 65850 of the California Government
Code, the City may adopt ordinances to regulate the use of buildings, structures, and
land as between industry, business, residences, and open space, and other purposes;
to regulate the location, height, bulk, number of stories and size of buildings and
structures, the size and use of lots, yards, courts and other open spaces, the
percentage of a lot which may be occupied by a building or structure, and the intensity
of land use; and to establish requirements for off-street parking, in compliance with the
California Government Code
WHEREAS, Chapter 18.90 of the Municipal Code provides a process for the
amendment of the Zoning Code.
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2016, September 29, 2016, and November 3,
2016 the Planning Commission of the City of Grand Terrace conducted duly noticed
public hearings at the Grand Terrace City Hall Council Chambers located 22795 Barton

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have
occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of

1. The Planning Commission finds that Zoning Code Amendment 15-02 and
Specific Plan Amendment 15-01 are exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines
because the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to

Amendment 15-02 and Specific Plan Amendment 15-01:
a. Zoning Code Amendment 15-02 and Specific Plan Amendment 15-01 will
not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare
of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the

finds that there is good cause for the adoption of the ordinance, as stated herein,
and recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance, attached
hereto as Exhibit 1.

public health, safety and general welfare because there is the substantial likelihood
of the establishment and operation of tobacco retailers in the City of Grand Terrace.
The proliferation of tobacco retailers in the city would result in undesirable impacts
to the community. Among these impacts are increased potential for tobacco sales to
minors, greater opportunity for the sale of illegal drug paraphernalia that is marketed
as tobacco paraphernalia, and heightened risk of negative aesthetic impacts, blight,
and loss of property values of residential neighborhoods and businesses in close
proximity to such uses. This section contains amendments consistent with good
zoning and planning practices to address such negative impacts of tobacco retailers
while providing a reasonable number of locations and zones for such uses to locate
within the city of Grand Terrace.

CITY OF GRAND TERRACE ADOPT AN ORDINANCE
ADOPTING ZONE CHANGE 15-02 TO AMEND CHAPTER
18.82 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE AND
SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 15-01 FOR THE
PURPOSE OF REGULATING SMOKE SHOPS AND
TOBACCO STORES
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
To preserve and protect our community and its
Exceptional quality of life through thoughtful planning, within the constraints of fiscally
.
BACKGROUND:
This item was originally noticed for the July 21, 2016, Planning Commission meeting but
the meeting was cancelled because of a lack of a quorum.
Due to several inquiries regarding the establishment of smoke shops and vapor lounges
and inadequate zoning regulations to adequately address potential secondary impacts
related to such uses the City Council adopted an urgency ordinance establishing a
temporary moratorium, which was extended for a period of 22 months, and is set to
expire on September 23, 2016.
Tobacco retailers, electronic cigarette retailers and vapor lounges within the City
present unique challenges to local government because the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code does not, currently, define or regulate these types of land uses. Smoke shops are
permitted within certain zones of the Barton Road Specific Plan but are not otherwise
regulated. In the absence of specific standards and zoning regulations pertaining to
tobacco retailers, electronic cigarette retailers, smoke shops and vapor lounges, it is

difficult to mitigate the secondary impacts generated by these establishments..
Currently, there are two smoke shops in the City. They each sell conventional and non-
conventional tobacco products and devices. There are no vapor or hookah lounges.
DISCUSSION:
The following changes to the Zoning Code and Barton Road Specific Plan have been
identified to adequately regulate smoke shops, tobacco stores and related uses:
Amend the Zoning Code to determine permissible districts that would
permit smoke shops, electronic cigarettes retail stores, vapor and hookah
lounges; and, to establish development and operational standards.
Amend the Zoning Code to establish definitions for these uses.
Revision to the Zoning Code and Barton Road Specific Plan to determine
the permit and review process for these uses
Revise the Barton Road Specific Plan to determine permissible zone
district for such uses.
Revise the Barton Road Specific Plan to reference the Zoning Code for
operational development
regulating the above uses.
The proposed ordinance would allow for the establishment of smoke shopsand tobacco
stores in the C2 General Commercial and CM Commercial Manufacturing zone districts,
subject to a standard conditional use permit, meaning the CUP would be subject to a
noticed public hearing before the Planning Commission.
Currently, the BRSP allows smoke shops in the Village Commercial (between Canal
Street and generally Mount Vernon Avenue) and General Commercial (between the I-
215 Freeway to Canal Street) zone districts, and does not require a permit or include
any regulations. The proposed ordinance would only allow smoke shops and tobacco
stores in the BRSP-GC zone district with a CUP and would no longer allow them in the
VC zone district. There is one smoke shop in the VC zone which would become a legal
non-conforming use.
The ordinance clearly states that vapor lounges, hookah lounges and similar uses are
prohibited within Grand Terrace.
The ordinance proposes to establish separation criteria between smoke shops/tobacco
stores and other uses, as follows: 1,000 feet from public schools, child care facilities,

public health, safety and general welfare because there is the substantial likelihood

of the establishment and operation of tobacco retailers in the Cityof Grand Terrace.

Theproliferationoftobacco retailers in the city would result in undesirable impacts

to the community. Among these impacts are increased potential for tobacco sales to

minors, greater opportunity for the sale of illegal drug paraphernalia that is marketed

c
as tobacco paraphernalia, and heightened risk of negative aesthetic impacts, blight,
n

and loss of property values of residential neighborhoods and businesses in close

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:November 3, 2016
TITLE:Report on Code Compliance Activities for FY 2015-2016
PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Planning & Development Services Director
RECOMMENDATION:Receive and File the Report.
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Our Mission: preserveandprotectourcommunityandits
exceptionalqualityoflifethroughthoughtfulplanning, withintheconstraintsoffiscally
responsible.
BACKGROUND:
This item was continued from the September 15, 2016, Planning Commission meeting.
On July 26, 2016, Staff presented a report to the Council on Code Compliance activities
during the 2015-2016 fiscal year. Staff believes this information would be of interest to
the Planning Commission and is presenting the report herein. A full powerpoint
presentation with additional statistics and charts will be presented to the Commission
during the September 15, 2016, meeting.
The Code Compliance Division consist of one full time code enforcement office, one
part time (18 hrs/wk) weekend Code Enforcement Specialist, and one part time (18
hrs/wk) Office Specialist. The weekend enforcement specialist began with the City in
April of this year. The full time code enforcement officer also works one Friday and
Saturday each month. Code Compliance has processed over 350 cases last year.
Codes. During the last fiscal year, Code Compliance initiated new enforcement

strategies intended to streamline enforcement and case processing. These strategies
are based on code enforcement officers being proactive in developing strategiesto
address hazards and frequently reoccurring problems; consistency in enforcement and
process and to show efficiency in resolving code enforcement issues.
DISCUSSION:
The enforcement strategy includes identified enforcement zones; focusing on quality of
life and public safety issues; and streamlined case processing.
Code enforcement utilized the street sweeping zone map to establish inspection zones.
Over a two week period, the commercial corridor is inspected twice, and each zone of
the City is inspected once. This rotation continues so that all zones are pro-actively
inspected on a regular basis; and to ensure equitable enforcement throughout the City.
The weekend code specialist will sweep the three zones for that week, and follows up
on inspections, citations, and opens new cases as appropriate.
Enforcement within the zones focuses on quality of life and public safety issues.
Although quality of life issues are not as serious as public safety issues, they are more
frequent, require a significant amount of resources, and can significantly impact the
community if not readily addressed. Public safety issues are addressed within 24-48
hours, based on the issue.
Quality of life issues that enforcement focuses on are vehicles parked on unpaved
surfaces, inoperable vehicles, dead and overgrown vegetation, and broken windows.
These cases made-up 220 of the cases that were processed last fiscal year.
Additionally, citations are issued for commercial vehicles parked in residential zones,
In addition to follow up sweeping of the enforcement zones, the weekend code
enforcement activity focuses on removing garage sales signs from the pubic rights of
way, citing vehicles for sale, and other parking infractions. The weekend code specialist
has also stopped unpermitted weekend construction work.
Use of Technology
The code compliance officers have each been equipped with tablets that access the
code compliance program. This allows new cases and notes to be inputted from the
field; and photographs are automatically uploaded to the case file. The cloud-based
program automatically syncs with the code software program.
The SeeClickFix (SCF) program is primarily a tool for public works issues; but it also
allows community members to identify code enforcement issues. When a code issue is
identified through SCF, a case is opened, as appropriate.
