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
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 10
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 neighbors' privacy, 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
"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 10
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.

presentations made by members of the public and City staff at the aforementioned
