REVIEW 14-08 TO CONSTRUCT A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE AND A SECOND FAMILY UNIT ON A
PARCEL LOCATEDAT 11832 BURNS AVENUE (APN
0275-282-14)
PROPOSAL:
The applicant, Mr. Joab Jerome, is requesting approval of Site and Architectural Review
(SA) 14-06, Administrative Site and Architectural Review (ASA) 14-08 and
Environmental Review (E) 14-03 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 15,744 square feet and is zoned R1-7.2
Single Family with an Agricultural Overlay. The project is located at 11832 Burns Street,
-282-14. A Letter of Intent is attached.
Section 18.63.020 of the Zoning Code requires the filing of a Site and Architectural
Review application for the construction of a singlefamily residence, and an
Administrative Site and Architectural Review for the second dwelling unit.
The applicant is the property owner of the subject lot. Mr. Jerome is also the owner of
the lot directly behind it held in title by Jerome Financial Services. On the subject lot the
applicant is proposing a single family residence with a second dwelling unit. On the
adjacent lot, and subject to a separate application, a single family residence is
proposed.
SITE AND SURROUNDINGAREA:
The site currently contains two dilapidated residences, which are proposed to be
demolished, and is surrounded by single family homes and vacant lots on both sides of
Packet Pg. 12
B.3
Burns Avenue. The surrounding area is zoned R1-7.2 (Single Family), 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 District designation.
The proposed single family residence and second family unit conform to the General
Plan land use and Zoning designations which are intended for single family residential
uses and second family units where minimum lot size allows. The proposed primary
residence meets applicable setback requirements.
The Zoning Code allows the construction of a second dwelling unit within the R1-7.2
zone district, subject to administrative review. Chapter 18.69 - Second Family Units
regulates second dwelling units. It requires certain lot sizes, structural setbacks, and
height requirements, which the project meets.
Of import are the requirements that one of the two dwellings must be occupied by the
owner of the property, and that 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.
Site Plan/Improvements (Attachment 4 is a full set of project plans)
The site design conforms to setback, height limits and lot coverage requirements of the
R1-7.2 zone. Improvements include 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.
The site plan and grading plan depict that access and drainage easements are
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.
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

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

B.3.a
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,
they do not interfere with the neighbors' privacy, 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 from any existing
development along Burns Avenue.
c. The architectural design of structures, their materials and colors are
visually harmonious with the surrounding development and 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 as the two existing
residences are dilapidated. 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 this Resolution.
3. The Planning Commission further finds as follows with respect to Administrative

a. The second family unit is nicely integrated into the site. It is an asset to the
property and complements the main residence as well as the surrounding

b. The second-family unit is clearly subordinate in size, location, appearance
and access to the main residence.
c. The second-family unit will not be detrimental to the general health, safety,
morals, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing within the
neighborhood of the proposed unit or injurious to property or
improvements in the neighborhood or within the City.

PROPOSAL:
The applicant, Mr. Joab Jerome, representingJerome Financial Services, is requesting
the approval of Site and Architectural Review 14-07 and Environmental Review 14-04 to
construct a new two story, 3,612 square foot custom home with an 866 square foot
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.
Section 18.63.020 of the Zoning Code requires the filing of a Site and Architectural
Review application for the construction of a single family residence.
Mr. Jerome also owns the adjacent lot that fronts on Burns Avenue, identified as 11832
Burns Avenue. On the subject lot, the applicant is proposing a single family residence,
and on 11832 Burns Avenue, a single family residence with a second dwelling unit.
Although the lots are owned and/or represented by the same entity, they are two
separate lots, and are subject to separate applications.
SITE AND SURROUNDINGAREA:
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.
Packet Pg. 36

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 (Attachment 4 is a full set of project plans)
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.
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 proposed single-story residence includes one master bedroom and three
bedrooms. The plans also include a dedicated office, kitchen and open dining and living
room areas.
The applicant is proposing to use gray-tone colors for the residence. The primary color
for the
.
Landscape Plan
Conceptually, there is one landscape plan for both properties; however, the construction

B.4
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 residence. At the request of Staff and for water conservation purposes,
the amount of grass area has been reduced and replaced with mulch. Compliance with
5,000 square feet or greater. A final landscape and irrigation plan will be required and
landscape improvements are required to be installed prior to final inspection.

PRESENTED BY:Sandra Molina, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDATION:ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2015-___, A RESOLUTION OF
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
ADOPT AN ADOPT AN ENVIRONMENTAL EXEMPTION
AND APPROVE TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 15-01
(TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 18793) A SUBDIVISION OF
A 3.2-ACRE PARCEL INTO 12 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS
LOCATED AT 22247 PICO STREET.
PROPOSAL
The applicant, Kenneth J. Catanzarite, represented by Darryl Moore, is requesting
approval of Tentative Tract Map 15-01 (Tentative Tract Map No. 18793). The Project
site is located on the south side of Pico Street at 22247 Pico Street. The site is an
irregularly shaped parcel that totals 3.2 acres and is zoned R1-7.2 Single Family. The
applicant is proposing to subdivide the parcel into 12 single family lots measuring a
minimum of 7,200 square feet, and served by a 50-foot wide cul-de-sac street. A Letter
of Intent is attached.
authority on tentative tract maps. However, the Planning Commission has reviewing
authority and makes a recommendationto the City Council. The attached resolution
BACKGROUND:
Over the last year the City staff and the applicant have reviewed various iterations of the
subdivision. The triangular shape of the parcel has made designing and plotting
functional lots challenging. On January 29, 2015, the applicant submitted the subject
application. The application was reviewed by the Development Advisory Board and
deemed incomplete. Plans and materials were resubmitted on March 19, 2015, and the
application was scheduled for public hearing.
SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The parcel is triangularly shaped and relatively flat; it gradually slopes from east to west.
It fronts along Pico Street at its north boundary. Pico Street is a 66-foot wide collector
street. Along Pico Street the parcel measures 460 feet wide and narrows to about 10
feet wide at its south boundary. The site contains a residence and fire damaged barn
structure, both of which are proposed to be demolished.
Packet Pg. 57
B.5
To the west of the site is the Gage Canal, and to the north, south and east are single
family residential uses with the same R.17.2 zoning designation.
Surrounding uses are as follows:
Zoning General Plan Existing Land Uses
North R1-7.2 Low Density Residential Single family residential
East R1-20 Low Density Residential Single family residential
South R1-20 Low Density Residential Former convent and
seminary
West R1-7.2 Low Density Residential Gage Canal and single
family residential further west
ANALYSIS:
General Plan/Zoning Consistency
The Project site is designated Low Density Residential (LDR) on the General Plan Land
Use Map. The LDR designation limits land uses to single family detached residential
units at a density of 0-5 dwelling units per acre. Project density is 3.75 dwelling units
per acre.
The site is zoned R1-7.2 Single Family. This zone district requires a minimum lot size
of 7,200 square feet. Lot sizes range from 7,200 square feet to just over 12,000 square
feet, with an average lot size of 7,900 square feet. Required lot dimensions are 100
feet deep and 60 feet wide. For corner lots, the lot width is 70 feet. The irregular shape
of the parcel and placement of the cul-de-sac to serve the inner lots result in lots where
the minimum lot width or depth dimensions cannot be met. However, as demonstrated
through the depiction of setback lines and conceptual plotting of future homes, each lot
can meet required building setback requirements. The table below shows which lots
are deficient in lot width or depth. The applicant has submitted a Variance application
for these lots, and findings to support the variance are included in the draft resolution.

The applicant is finalizing the housing product (homes) that will be constructed on the
lots. Future homes will be a combination of single and two story homes. The housing
product will come back to the Planning Commission for review and approval, pursuant
These plottings were placed to demonstrate that each lot could support a home in
conformance with building setbacks.
Circulation/Access
The Project site is bound by Pico Street, a 66 foot wide local collector roadway. The
applicant will be required to install standard improvements along the project frontage,
including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street lighting, and repave Pico Street to the
centerline. A 50-foot wide local street will be constructed to serve the inner lots. The
a 50 foot wide street when supported by the County Fire and City Engineering. Given
the irregular shape of the property and the number of lots that will be served by the local
will have a seven foot parkway instead of 12 feet. The sidewalk will be four feet wide.
Along Pico Street, staff has included a condition of approval that would restrict direct
access onto Pico Street for Lots 4 and 12, and require the driveways to be constructed
ys are as far from the intersection as possible. A similar
condition was added for Lot 3, requiring the driveway to be as far east as possible.
Conceptual Grading:
The preliminary grading plan has also been included and is shown on the tentative tract
map. Pad elevations are indicated on each lot. Generally, lots will be decreasing in
elevation from east to west and from south to north. It is anticipated that the site will
balance and dirt will not need to be imported nor exported.
Technical review of the final drainage/hydrology report and Water Quality Management
Plan may determine that a drainage area would need to be created which could modify
or reduce the number of lots to eleven lots. In the event that this occurs, a condition is
included that would allow staff to review the modification to the map at staff level, unless
there is a substantial change to the map design. In which case, it will be reviewed by the
Planning Commission.

Agency Review
The Project Plans were distributed to various agencies for their comments.
Conditions of approval relating to public works, engineering and building and safety
items are included in the Building and Safety memorandum dated February 18, 2014,
and are included in the draft resolution.
San Bernardino County Fire has reviewed the reconfigured lot and street layout,
including access and roadways. County Fire has provided conditions of approval in a
memorandum dated March 6, 2015, for the Project and they are included in the
resolution.
The Cities of Grand Terrace and Colton entered into wastewater agreements whereby
the City leases the wastewater system to Colton for maintenance. Pursuant to the
Sewer Services Agreement, new construction must be reviewed and approved by the
City of Colton. The City of Colton has reviewed the tentative tract map and provided
conditions of approval dated February 25, 2015, which are also attached to the
resolution.
Riverside Highland Water Company indicated that they can serve the Project and final
water improvement plans will require their review and approval. A condition of approval
to this effect has been incorporated into the resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The Project to construct a single-story residence and garage 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:
Public notice of the Project was provided, including publishing in the San Bernardino
County Sun and mailing notices to property owners within 300 feet of the Project site,
10 days prior to the meeting date. 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 Project site presents many challenges to site design. The triangular shape of the
site and logical local street location result in certain lots with dimensions less than
required. However, given these constraints, the applicant has been able to design a
subdivision where all lots meet minimum lot sizes and support the placement of homes
that meet building setbacks. The Project will create 12 additional residential units that

will assist the City accommodate its growth demands contained in the Housing Element.
Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the attached
resolution recommending City Council approval of Tentative Tract Map 15-01 (TTM No.
18793).

2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Tentative Tract Map 15-
01 (Tentative Tract Map No. 18793):
Page 1 of 8
Packet Pg. 63
B.5.b
a. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the City General Plan and any
applicable specific plan for the area. The proposed single family residential
Project at a density of 3.75 dwelling units per acre is consistent with the
Low Density Residential (LDR) General Plan designation, which is intended
for detached single family residential. It conforms to several General Plan
policies relating to the construction of roadways and utilities to serve the
Project, and Housing Element policies to encourage housing development
of various types and designs. The Project is consistent with the provisions
of the Zoning Code, except for Lots 1and 4 which do not meet the minimum
lot width standards and Lots 1, 6, and 8 through 12 which do not meet the
minimum lot depth requirements. However, consistent with the provisions of
the Zoning Code, the Applicant has filed a Variance application.
b. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with
the City General Plan and any applicable specific plan for the area. The
density of 3.75 dwelling units per acre conforms to the density limitation of
0-5 dwelling units per acre of the LDR designation. The Project conforms to
several General Plan policies relating to the construction of roadways and
utilities to serve the Project, and Housing Element policies to encourage
housing development of various types and designs.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development proposed by the tentative map. The site can support the
Project at the proposed density of 3.75 dwelling units per acre. The
Variance is necessitated by the irregular lot shape.
d. The design of the subdivision and proposed improvements are not likely to
cause significant environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The Project is infill development and
qualifies for an environmental exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines..
e. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements are not likely to
cause serious public health problems.
f. The design of the subdivision provides for future passive or natural heating
and cooling opportunities in the subdivision to the extent feasible.
g. The design of the subdivision and the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of
property within the proposed subdivision, or the design of the alternate
easements which are substantially equivalent to those previously acquired
by the public will not be provided.
Attachment: 2. PC Resolution_TTM 18793 (1680 : Tentative Tract Map 15-01 (Tentative Tract Map No. 18793))
h. In approving the subdivision the approving authority has considered its
effects and the effects of adopted ordinances and actions relating to the
review and approval of subdivisions on the housing needs of the region and
balanced those needs against the public service needs of its residents and
Page 2 of 8
Packet Pg. 64
B.5.b
available fiscal and environmental resources.
3. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Variance 15-01:
a. A special circumstance regarding the size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property exists. The triangular shape of the
property and logical location for the cul-de-sac to serve interior lots
depth (Lots 1, 6, 8 and 9 through 12) and width (Lot 4). Because of the
irregular shape relocation of the public street to meet the lot standards for
these lots impacts other lots. This design results in the best design given
the lot limitations.
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. The
certain lots to meet the minimum lot depth and width requirements. Strict
application of the zoning code would result in a lesser number of lots with
lot sizes greater than the surrounding area and at a lesser density than
adjacent Tracts. Strict application would deprive the property to develop at
a density commensurate with adjacent Tracts.
c. The granting of the variance 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 granting of the variance would
not grant a special privilege; rather it will provide the ability to develop the
subject lot at comparable densities as adjacent properties and as
anticipated in the General Plan.
d. The granting of the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not
otherwise expressly authorized by the district governing the parcel of
property. The granting of the variance would not authorize an unpermitted
use because single family residential uses are permitted in the R1-7.2 zone.
e. The granting of the variance will not result in a situation inconsistent with
the latest adopted general plan. The density of 3.75 is consistent with the
LDR General Plan designation which planned for a maximum density of 5
units per acre.
f. Conditions necessary to secure the above findings are made a part of the
approval of the variance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT based on the findings and conclusions set forth
Attachment: 2. PC Resolution_TTM 18793 (1680 : Tentative Tract Map 15-01 (Tentative Tract Map No. 18793))
above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve the
Addendum prepared for the Project and approve Tentative Tract Map 15-01 (Tentative
