CITY COUNCIL ITEM (xx) MEETING DATE: JULY 25, 2000
SUBJECT: SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEM: DATA CONVERSION PROJECT
NO FUNDING REQUIRED- BUDGETED ITEM
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace operates a sewer collection system which encompasses
approximately 44 miles of pipe and delivers approximately 1.0 mgd of effluent each
day to the Colton Wastewater Treatment Plant. The system was originally constructed
between 1973-75. Except for the City's roadway system, it is the City's single most
valuable asset.
Staff has been diligently working on the upgrading of all data and information relative
to the construction details of the system, maintenance data and inspection information
for the system. This has included the assemblage of approximately 3,000 maps,
maintenance data and reports.
The system is managed primarily in a maintenance rote by the City's Community
Services Department who coordinates the collection system maintenance program,
capital upgrades and repairs and spill response program. The Staff also coordinates
regulatory compliance for the system.
DISCUSSION
The City has begun the implementation of a comprehensive Geographic Information
System (GIS) as a tool to manage and track many of the activities of the City, especially
in the area of capital infrastructure. Examples include the Pavement Management
System which records street condition data, street sign information data base and the
mapping of code enforcement data.
Staff has requested and is proposing a project which would implement a comprehensive
information system for the management of our sewer collection system. This project
would completely automate all data and maps relevant to the system, and coordinate the
maintenance and repair tracking of the collection system.
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO.,i
GISIDATA CONVERSION PROJECT
AGENDA REPORT. JULY 25, 2000
Page 2 of 3
The City has received a proposal from NOBEL SYSTEMS, a local company which
specializes in data conversion and mapping systems- This proposal includes the
following elements:
1. Computer Mapping of the entire collections system. This will include integrating
some aspects of our current CAD map and updating linking data between the map
and database information(the current map is basically a drawing with no data links).
2. Map Scan of approximately 3,300 City sewer construction drawings, tract maps,
street improvement drawings and other capital infrastructure drawings.
3. Database Development which will include inter-linking of the computer mapping,
extracted data, scanned images and sewer maintenance data into a single format.
4. GIS Viewing Application which will consist of a comprehensive integration of data,
CAD and graphics into the Map Objects Viewing Application.
5. Handheld Computer System which includes the inter-linking of the database system
with a handheld computer application for use by maintenance personnel in the field
during maintenance to update the system. This will include a synchronization
element which will allow information to be downloaded from the handheld into the
City's computer networked file server.
JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAM:
This project represents the addition of an important resource and tool for both Staff and O
Contractors. It is the automation of all key data into a highly accessible and updateable
format, which will benefit the City into the future.
Key rationale for upgrading the existing system are:
1. Automation will heighten both the accessibility of the data and also the analysis.
Presently, information is stored in files and boxes which are difficult to access.
Additionally, analysis of issues in the system are difficult, since reports are
generally presented in volumes of spreadsheets. Integration into a GIS viewing and
mapping formats will significantly enhance the capabilities to manage the system.
2. Staffing for the management of the collection system is done by allocation of time
for one staff member, which is done on a part time basis. The proposed system will
greatly enhance the overall management of the system and the effectiveness of the
staff.
3. Compliance to State and Federal pollution requirements for record keeping and
reporting is essential, and accessibility to the data proposed for automation is
critical. Timely reporting and response to sewer spills is essential to remaining in
compliance with outside government agencies. The proposed system will enhance
our ability to remain compliant in a world of increasing enforcement activity.
GIS/DATA CONVERSION PROJECT
AGENDA REPORT. JULY 25, 2000
Page 3 of 3
4. The Collection System is the City's second most valuable Asset and the highest
revenue source. The management of this asset in the most effective manner is a
high priority.
In conclusion, this project represents an important step forward in the overall
management of the City's Sewer Collection System.
Included in this report is the proposal from Nobel Systems.

Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
1. Executive Summary.
The City of Grand Terrace's sewer service area encompasses 3.1 square miles and
consists of approximately 3,500 service connections and roughly 44 miles of mains. Most
of the information about the sewer facilities is shown on hard copy maps and drawings
that are costly to maintain, cumbersom to use and difficult to replace if damaged or
misplaced. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an established technology that can
greatly improve the storage, maintenance and retrieval of Grand Terrrace's sewer system
data.
Nobel Systems proposes to:
• Convert approximately 255 sewer asbuilt maps into a GIS database (ArcView and
AutoCAD Map formats)
• Scan approximately 3,300 maps and drawings into high duality image files
• develop a MapObjects-based GIS viewing and query software applications which
includes the City's digital landbase, converted sewer system GIS data, and links to
scanned images of source maps.
Once the project is completed, GIS will enable Grand Terrace to improve service and
reduce costs.
Nobel Systems is a highly qualified and experienced GIS conversion company that has
successfully completed similar projects for both cities and retail water companies.Nobel
Systems is the only Southern California-based GIS conversion company who specializes
in sewer and water facilities GIS conversion, and as such is uniquely qualified to perform
this project. Unlike other firms that use GIS conversion subcontractors,Nobel Systems'
maintains it's own offshore production facility in Bangalore, India. This allows us to bid
jobs very competitively while maintaining maximum data quality and production
flexibility.Nobel Systems project management makes it transparent to the customer that
the work is done offshore.
While Nobel Systems is a technical leader in GIS conversion, we maintain a balance of
using existing and new technologies to insure that data quality, schedules and costs meet
our clients' needs. The core conversion work described in Nobel Systems' proposal is
based on technology and methods successfully used on similar sewer system conversion
projects.
As our reference accounts will attest,Nobel Systems provides excellent GIS data
conversion and applications development services at competitive prices.

Grand Terrace Sewer CIS Automation Project
2. Project Approach: Water System Data Conversion
Nobel Systems will use standard data conversion programs and procedures developed
and used in similar sewer and facilities conversion projects over the past 10 years,
modified as required for the Grand Terrace specifications. Since Nobel Systems' staff has
considerable experience with sewer facilities conversion projects, project start up and
training are expected to be minimal. The major steps of conversion are:
• Project Kick Off Meeting
4
• Project Set Up
• Source Map Scanning
• City-wide sewer system CIS conversion
• Development of CIS viewing application
• Delivery
2.1 Project Kick Off Meeting. Nobel Systems' project staff will meet at Grand Terrace
to introduce project staff, discuss project administration, review technical specifications,
and schedule the copying of source maps. The meeting will also be used to discuss
technical issues, including a review of the specifications, database design,plotting
standards, data capture standards, and the maintenance application. Nobel Systems will
provide the preliminary conversion procedures documents for Grand Terrace review at
this meeting. The schedule for Grand Terrace to provide two (2) sets of the source maps
along with the digital land base will also be discussed at this meeting.
2.2 Project Set Up
The Project Set Up will be completed at Nobel Systems-San Bernardino. Data capture.
QC,plotting and related production programs will be modified for the Grand Terrace
project. These programs will be tested to insure accurate data capture according to the
Grand Terrace specifications. Final versions of the data capture standards and procedures
documents will also be prepared.
• Project Set Up Deliverables:
One sample plot for Grand Terrace review and acceptance of final symbology
Preliminary and final procedures, database design, and data capture standards.
Scanned image files of source maps
2.3 Source Map Scanning
Nobel Systems will scan approximately 3,300 maps as part of this project. The scans will
be black-and-white, 300 dots-per-inch of images. Nobel Systems will pick up an agreed-
upon number of original maps once per week, and then return those maps along with the
scans, and pick up another set of maps for scanning until all the scanning is completed.
Nobel Systems understands the importance of coordinating this scanning with the day-to-
day activities of the city, and will work within any limitations set forth by the city.

Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
2.4 City-Wide Sewer System GIS Data Conversion
Once the final database structure,procedures, standards, and plotting symbology are
approved by Grand Terrace, the project materials (copies of source maps and digital
landbase data, programs and written procedures)will be transferred to India to start
production. Work will be done using AutoCAD and Arclnfo,then converted into the
ArcView delivery format specified by Grand Terrace. Completed work will be sent via
FTP on a weekly basis to Nobel Systems—San Bernardino.PARS will be sent from India
to San Bernardino via fax,phone, email and FTP as needed during the project.Nobel
Systems- San Bernardino shall maintain all communications of PARS and other project
information on a regular basis with Grand Terrace.Nobel Systems project staff will meet
in Grand Terrace as needed for the success of the project.Nobel Systems is very flexible
on meetings at Grand Terrace since we are located 15 minutes from Grand Terrace.
Pre-Conversion Source Preparation.
Copies of the source maps will be used as the primary data source for this project. Nobel
Systems will review these maps and all source materials for unclear or ambiguous
features. The digital landbase will also be examined. All discrepancies will be submitted
on Grand Terrace-approved Problem and Resolution form(PARS). While PARS are an
expected part of any GIS conversion project,Nobel Systems attempts to have as many
source content issues resolved prior to going into full production as possible. This helps
both workflow and quality, and generally makes the overall project run more smoothly.
During the prep phase, the centroid of each source map is located on the digital land base
in AutoCAD, and a point with the source map ID number is added. When all the maps
have been located in AutoCAD, an overlay of the grid tiles is performed so that an
inventory,by tile, is produced of source maps to be used for conversion .
Data Production Set Up
GIS data conversion will be done at Nobel Systems-Bangalore, India. Completed data
will be sent via FTP to Nobel Systems-U.S. Although the production is done in India,
this is transparent to Grand Terrace since all deliveries, client communications, meetings
and support are handled by the San Bernardino-based Project Manager,Michael Samuel.
The following are production set up tasks:
Note: Please see Conversion flow charts that follow this section.
AutoCAD Data Capture. Using Nobel Systems' AutoCAD-based proprietary data
capture methodology and system, sewer facilities data is captured, per the location
information given on the source maps. Unique ID numbers are assigned to each arc and
node feature at the completion of data capture for a given tile.Easements are also
captured as appropriate.
Nobel Systems 4 11/2/99
Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
Generate Scrub Plots. Plots are produced for completed tiles showing the arc and node
ID numbers. These plots are used to"scrub" attribute data.
Scrub Attribute Data. "Scrubbing" refers to entering attribute data onto data entry
forms. Technicians take a scrub plot and the associated source maps. The features on a
source map are compared to the Scrub Plot, and the feature ID is written onto the form.
Then the attribute values for that feature are read from the source map, and written onto
the form. If a graphic (arc, node or easements) shown on a source map is missing from
the scrub plot, it is sketched onto the plot along with the source map ID, and then
highlighted for data capture later.
Attribute Data Entry.The scrub forms are then given to the data entry person, who
enters the data into a Microsoft Access database, using a data entry form. The form has
validity and quality checks customized to meet Grand Terrace quality specifications. The
scrub sheet is entered a second time{"double data entry"), and the two databases are
compared. Differences are researched and corrected in the final database.
Link Attributes to Graphics. The attribute data is exported into a text file, then linked
to the AutoCAD graphics using a LISP program and the arc and node ID's that are in
both the graphics and attribute files.
Add Missing Graphics.Missing graphics identified during the scrubbing and linking
processes are captured in AutoCAD, and then a final link to attribute data is done.
AutoCAD QC.Using Nobel Systems' AutoCAD-based proprietary quality check
application, logical and systematic errors are checked per Grand Terrace specification.
The program will identify errors to be corrected while the data is still in AutoCAD
format. This improves productivity, and more importantly gives the GIS technician
immediate feedback on quality problems, so that future work is done with fewer errors.
Generate Annotation.Annotation is generated using a LISP program from the database
attributes and governed by Grand Terrace annotation specifications. While this program
places most annotation properly, some editing is still required.
Generate QC Plot.A QC plot showing graphics, attributes and annotation is generated.
Table QC.Perform a 100%check of the source documents against the QC Plot, and
mark errors on the plot.
System Edit. Corrections will made in AutoCAD of all errors marked on the QC plots.
Final QC and Edit. The programmatic QC check is re-run, and a final QC plot is
generated and visually checked. Final edits are made to correct any errors found.
Nobel Systems 5 11/2199
Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
Deliver to Nobel-US. Deliver completed Grand Terrace tile grids to Nobel-US via FTP
on the Internet.Nobel Systems uses ISDN connections both in the U.S. and India to
insure timely and secure delivery of data and project communications.
Generate QC Plot. Generate a QC plots of the data received.
Table QC. Perform a check of the source documents against the QC Plot, and mark
errors on the plot.Typically Nobel starts with a 100% check on initial deliveries, then
goes to a sampling approach when the quality and consistency warrant such a change.
System Edit. Correct all errors found in Table QC.
Programmatic QC. Run the QC program. If errors are detected, the Grand Terrace tile
work unit loops back through the process until it is error-free.
Convert to ArcView Format. Convert the data into the final Arcview format specified
by Grand Terrace.
Generate Preliminary QC Plot and Delivery.Generate the preliminary QC Plots and
deliver along with ArcInfo files.
Final Edit and Delivery.Nobel Systems shall make all corrections marked by Grand
Terrace, and deliver final plots and Arcview files, as specified by Grand Terrace.
2.5 Viewing Application Development--GeoBrowser
Nobel Systems proposes to use an existing GIS application developed by Nobel Systems,
"GeoBrowser", customized for Grand Terrace.The GeoBrowser is a framework for an
intuitive,Windows based GIS interface. With the GeoBrowser,Grand Terrace will have
a friendly and easy to use GIS interface. The interface is simple but very usable. Some
of the features:
• All layers in the sewer database.
• Parcel layer.
• Street Centerline layer.
• Ability to search by address (if street data allows it).
• Ability to search based on assessor parcel number
• Buffering capabilities.
• The ability to pan and zoom through all map layers.
• Links to scanned images of asbuilt drawings
• Organized theme manager
• Leaves small footprint on client machines
• Legend(table of contents )
• Excellent memory management
• Integrates well with water/wastewater databases
Nobel Systems 6 11/2/99
Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
• Label manager
• Spatial analysis tools
• Parcel search( requires parcel layer)
• Address match, intersection match, street name search (Geocodable street database
required}
• Maptips
• High quality print output
The GeoBrowser is a 32 bit Windows application that runs on Windows 95 or Windows
NT. The GeoBrowser was developed using ESRI MapObjects and Microsoft Visual
Basic. It connects to databases running on Windows NT servers. The GeoBrowser is a
view and analysis tool, it does not allow data editing. The software accesses a copy of an
existing database. This "copy" of the database is stored in ESRI Shapefile format. This
process makes the data access fast.
2.6 Handheld ArcPad Application
The City needs a program written by Nobel Systems that will allow a technician go out in
the field with a handheld PC,running Windows CE operating system, and update the
maintenance data for the sewer system. This will allow the City to accurately monitor the
system and take proactive maintenance decisions.Nobel Systems proposes to provide an
easy-to-use customizable ArcPad product from ESRI,customized to meet the City's
requirements. The application will provide a simple user interface, «-hich provides data
entry and display capabilities. Users can populate the database through logical or
graphical point-and-click map-based queries. This application is designed for non-GIS
staff with basic computer skills.
Nobel Systems proposes to develop the application in ArcPad that will allow the
technician to zoom into the area he wants to work in. He then identifies the feature, such
as manhole or pipe, in the GIS database and clicks on it.This will bring up a data entry
input screen. The technician will then enter the data in the sequence as mutually defined
by the City and Nobel. After data entry for the day,the technician v4Zll bring the handheld
back to the field office and connect it through a hotsync port. An automated routine will
be run in the GIS server that imports this data, and updates the GIS database accordingly.
Nobel Systems will also provide training for system use.
2.7 Project Communications
Meetings. Project communication and coordination is key to the success of this project.
To facilitate excellent communication,Nobel Systems will meet as necessary with Grand
Terrace staff, particularly during the first month of the project. As,Nobel Systems is
located 15 minutes from Grand Terrace,Nobel Systems will not put any limit on the
number of meetings our Data Conversion Manager has with Grand Terrace, nor any
added charges for these meetings.
Reports. Nobel Systems' standard is to provide customers with weekly status reports.
Nobel Systems usually provides project/production status, source status, and PAR status.
Nobel Systems 7 11/2/99
Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
Nobel Systems prefers to email these documents, which is a reliable and convenient way
to distribute these reports,but will accommodate Grand Terrace in whatever form they
would like to receive these reports.
Project and Production Status Reports.Nobel Systems uses Microsoft Excel
spreadsheets to report project status, by task, to clients. Once in full data conversion,
Nobel Systems also provides status maps to give management an easy way to see status
and progress.
Source Status Reports.Digital land base data and source maps require accurate
inventory and reports on what was expected,what was received, and what(if any)
sources require further attention from the client.Nobel Systems will prepare a Source
Status Report,which helps maintain schedules and identify problems and bottlenecks in i
production.
Problem and Resolution Tracking
Nobel has developed a sophisticated problem and resolution (PAR) tracking mechanism,
which documents issues or data content anomalies which require review and resolution
by the client. Typically,PAR forms are generated as needed, reviewed by the project
manager,then forwarded to the client.Nobel Systems requests a 3-day turn around on
PARS.Nobel Systems uses telephone, fax, email,FTP, overnight delivery and mail to
insure close communications both within our company and with our clients.Nobel
Systems is available for on-site meetings with Grand Terrace as needed during the p
project.
2.8 Quality Control Plan
Although Nobel Systems strives to employ programs and procedures that creates perfect
data during data capture,Nobel also has developed both manual and automated methods
of quality control checks.Nobel Systems is willing and able to meet all quality control
items listed in the RFP (not repeated here for the sake of proposal length).
AutoCAD QC Tool.After completion of data capture for a grid, the AutoCAD QC Tool
shall be run. This program finds missing extended data, logic errors, out-of-range errors,
and invalid extended data values.The GIS technicians run this program and correct the
errors shown on the error report.
Manual Quality Control. After completion of data capture for a grid, including
corrections of errors detected using AutoCAD QC Tool, a QC Plot is generated.The
purpose of the QC plot is to perform a 100% audit of the source documents against the
plot, a process called"Table QC."Both graphic and attribute data is completely checked.
Errors are noted in colored pencil on the plots and returned to the GIS technician who
performed the data entry. This process gives the technicians, feedback necessary to learn
from mistakes and to produce progressively better quality work.
Nobel Systems 8 11/2/99
Grand Terrace Sewer GIS Automation Project
Programmatic Quality Control Program.Nobel shall run a programmatic QC program
on the data prior to delivery to Nobel Systems—U.S., and again prior to delivery to
Grand Terrace.

GIS DATA CONVERSION
GIS Data Conversion at Prices You Can Afford. Many organizations have decades worth
of data and information locked up in paper and Mylar maps, maps that are physically deterio-
rating,and are costly and difficult to keep up to date. GIS offers state-of-the-art applications to
better operate and manage your organization, but you need your organization's map data
converted to reap the cost and management benefits of GIS. Conversion of traditional map
data to GIS is the single biggest expense in implementing your GIS. Nobel Systems just
made things easier and cheaper for your organization. Nobel Systems offers high quality GIS
data conversion at prices you can afford.

INTRODUCTION
The City Council of the City of Grand Terrace adopted it's General Plan with various elements to
provide guidelines for orderly development within the community. The City Council fiuther
adopted ordinances and regulations governing the development of land providing for the
installation and construction of certain landscaping, lighting and appurtenant facilities to enhance
the quality of life and to benefit the value of property.
The requirement for the construction and installation of landscaping, lighting and appurtenant
facilities is a condition of approval for development and is a requirement of issuance of a permit
for the construction of any residential,commercial, industrial and planned unit development
Landscaping and appurtenant facilities generally include trees, shrubs,plants, turf, irrigation
systems,and necessary appurtenances including curbs, hardscape,monumentations, fencing
located in public right-of-ways, medians,parkways, and/or easements adjacent to public right-of-
ways, in and along public thoroughfares and certain designated primary and secondary arterials.

appurtenant facilities is the responsibility of the property owner/applicant,as conditions of
approval of a development application.
The City may cause the installation by property owners directly,or accept financial arrangements
for installation of these facilities.
The cost of servicing, operation,maintenance,repair and replacement of the landscaping, lighting
and appurtenant facilities in turn becomes the responsibility of the benefitting properties.
The owners/applicants petitioned for formation of the Landscaping Lighting Assessment District
and/or annexation. These have been completed, and will increase the City's obligation for
maintenance and servicing.
The City of Grand Terrace is administering a lighting system for the benefit of all parcels of land
within the City.
The lighting benefit is directly related to public safety and property protection. These benefits
have been studied widely, locally, regionally and nationally.

CRA ITEM ( ) COUNCIL ITEM (X ) MEETING DATE: JULY 26, 2000
FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED
SUBJECT: Barton Road Median Improvements Mid-Block between Canal
Street and Mt Vernon Avenue
RECOMMENDATION: Receive Input and Provide Guidance
Backaround:
This issue has been studied per continued request of residents, business owners, Planning
Commissioners and City Council Members themselves. The Planning Commission, at its
meeting on May 18, 2000, unanimously recommended that City Council proceed with
installation of the proposed improvements. Please review Attachment D, the Planning
Commission Minutes draft.
The purpose of today's meeting is to evaluate the technical report, receive public input and
provide guidance to staff. At least two options are available:
Option 1: Should Council determine there is evidence of a hazardous situation then the
implementation of mitigation measures will be required and the issue will need
to be set for formal public hearing and environmental review. Staff can be
ready for a public hearing on August 24, 2000. An approval resolution will be
drafted authorizing staff to go out for bid and appropriation of the necessary
funds (approximately $16,519).
Option 2: If Council determines that there is not a hazardous situation then Council can
direct staff to prepare a resolution to include its findings.
Please refer to City transportation/traffic engineer's technical report for a description of the
issue, previous City actions, existing conditio6s, proposed improvements and respective costs.
The groundcover landscaping was eliminated for cost containment purposes.
Please note that the extended Barton Road Beautification project and its proposed median is
not part of this meeting. Please refer to the notice mailed to all Barton Road Specific Plan
property owners and businesses (Attachment C) focusing the discussion on the specific
segment of Barton Road directly in front of Town and Country Center, including Bank of
America, Grand Terrace Professional Plaza and Stater Brothers loading access.

Community and Economic Development Director

Subject: Barton Road Median Improvements
Issue:
The section of Barton Road between Canal Street and Mt. Vernon Avenue is located in
the City of Grand Terrace. Over the past several months, residents and business
owners have become concerned about increased congestion and hazardous conditions
throughout this stretch of roadway. Several existing conditions contribute to this
problem including.
• Extensive commercial development immediately adjacent to both sides of Barton
Road between Canal Street and Mt. Vernon Avenue.
• 15 existing driveways located within a 1/4-mile stretch of roadway and no existing 0
ingress/egress controls_
• Increasing daily traffic volumes.
The most critical problem area on Barton Road is an approximately 250 feet segment.
On the north side of this segment is the driveway for the Town and Country Center; on
the south side are the driveways for the Grand Terrace Professional Plaza, Bank of
America, and the Stater Brothers loading dock. These are all high-volume driveways. In
addition, there is a considerable amount of traffic that traverses Barton Road to travel
between Town and Country Center and Bank of America.
In addition, the Bank of America exit driveway and the Stater Brothers loading dock
driveway are located immediately adjacent to each other. This creates a condition of
numerous conflicts.
Previous City Actions
In the summer of 1999, City Council asked staff to review traffic conditions on Barton
Road between Mt. Vernon and Canal Street in response to numerous complaints. A
presentation was made to Council on Barton Road in January of this year. Council
directed continued study of this issue.
Transportation Engineering and Planning, Inc.
On May 18, 2000, a proposal was presented to the planning commission to address the
250 feet segment of Barton Road fronting Town and Country Center. The planning
commission the staff recommendation contained in this report.
Existing Street Conditions
• Length and Width of Street Segment
Barton Road from Canal Street to Mt. Vernon Avenue is approximately 1,100 feet in
length. The street is fully improved with a curb to curb width of 72 feet. Sidewalks
are installed on both the north and south side of the roadway, except for a limited
distance on the south side.
• Existing Lane Configuration/Average Daily Traffic
Barton Road from Canal Street and Mt. Vernon Avenue currently has two (2)
through lanes striped for both east and westbound traffic. Barton Road also has a
two-way continuous turn lane striped throughout the length of this section. The
continuous turn lane transitions to a dedicated left turn pocket at both Canal Street
to the west and Mt. Vernon Avenue to the east. Average daily traffic (ADT) for this
portion of Barton Road is 16,800 vehicles east of Canal Street and 13,200 vehicles
west of Mt. Vernon Avenue.
• Existing Commercial Access/Driveways
Barton Road from the intersection of Canal Street to the intersection of Mt. Vernon
Avenue currently has 7 access points on the north side of the roadway and 8 access
points on the south side. There are currently no turning restrictions at any of the 15
existing access points.
• Existing Traffic Control Devices
Barton Road at Canal Street and Barton Road at Mt. Vernon Avenue are both
signalized intersections.
Traffic Collisions
Traffic collision records were reviewed for the most recent three-year period that is
available, January 1, 1997 to December 31, 1999. The purpose of this review was to
identify all recorded collisions for Barton Road that could be attributed to access/egress
conflicts. The database of traffic collisions is maintained by the California Highway
Patrol (CHP). It should be noted that most collisions which involve property damage
only are not recorded in the CHP database.
There are no records of collisions in the CHP database for this time period for the
segment fronting Town and Country Center.
Transportation Engineering and Planning, Inc.
Proposed Improvements
The proposed improvements entail the following components:
1) Construct a raised median, approximately 70 feet in length, that extends east of the
Town and Country Center driveway, fronting the Bank of America exit only driveway,
and the Stater Brothers loading dock driveway.
2) Construct a raised median, approximately 130 feet in length, that extends west of the 0
Town and Country Center driveway, fronting the driveway entrance and exit to the
Grand Terrace Professional Plaza and Bank of America. The median will be
channelized for left turn ingress to the Town and Country Center,
3) Post right turn only signs for the exclusive exit driveways of the Grand Terrace
Professional Plaza and Bank of America; and the egress lane of the Stater Brothers
loading dock driveway.
The attached figure shows the existing condition and proposed Barton Road median
modifications. This figure also illustrates the driveway movements that will be
eliminated as a result of the proposed modifications.

BARTON ROAD BEAUTIFICATIONITRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT WORKSHOP
CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
BARTON ROAD COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR
Staff report was presented by Community and Economic Development Director Patrizia
Materassi. She explained there are two reasons for this workshop:
1. To present the staff report, including information from the City's contract traffic
engineer, Craig Neustaedter, present at the meeting; and get input from
Planning Commissioners and the public; and
2. To gather support for two major City projects.
A. A long-term project for the beautification of Barton Road;
B. A short-term project dealing with traffic mitigation measures for traffic
improvement in the area of Barton Road in front of Bank of America, Town
and Country Center and the Stater Bros. Shopping Center.
The long-term project for Barton Road Beautification is expected to take
approximately 3 to 6 years. The Barton Road Beautification idea was a recommended
by the General Plan Task Force 5 years ago. Members of the community formed the
task force to assist staff in the City's General Plan Update. After 3 years of study and
discussion by the Task Force they made 8 major recommendations for the City's future,
in addition to a City Vision. The main messages in the Vision are to protect what the
City has (quiet low density residential neighborhoods with low crime) and strive for
sustainable growth, which is long-term solvency for the City. That solvency includes
the vision of development of a City Center. The idea of a planted median was to
enhance the appearance of Barton Road to attract businesses and pedestrian traffic for
the City Center. Tree height is recommended to be '2 the width of Barton Road. The
Strategic Action Plan, adopted by resolution by City Council to guide implementation of
the General Plan, calls for a median in Barton Road as part of the City Center and
Barton Road Beautification Plan.
The General Plan Open Space Element says some of the City's open space is to be
used to improve the City's identity. The Barton Road median was included to enhance
the City identity. In the Air Quality Element the idea of planting trees is supported to
improve air quality. The Circulation Element indicates a median on Barton would
increase pedestrian safety by organizing traffic flow.
A dialog was started by adoption of the Strategic Action Plan to explore methods by
which the City can survive and support itself independent of State revenues. A
program of subsidies or loans to businesses to improve landscaping, parking layout,
building facade is being studied. Director Materassi asked for support for Barton Road
Beautification from Planning Commissioners, residents and business owners in the
audience. Staff would like suggestions of what citizens would like to see in a median;
also, to know how the City can help businesses. She invited anyone interested in
attending future workshops to give their name to the r)lannina secretarv. Again .-,hp

said staff needs public input from business and property owners. It needs to be a joint
effort.
Director Materassi said the short-term project resulted from many complaints of
residents, customers of local businesses and parents using the City's Child Care
Center. Safety concerns were raised and City Council requested a study by the City's
contract traffic engineer, Craig Neustaedter. This project also relates to a median on
Barton Road from Canal to Mt. Vernon. Mr. Neustaedter was asked to propose some
mitigation measures to improve safety in that area of Barton Road. When City Council
received Mr. Neustaedter's study and report on suggested mitigation recommendations
they asked staff to get Planning Commission recommendations and public input. No
decisions will be made by the Planning Commission, just recommendations. Another
public hearing will be held by City Council in the future before they make a final
decision about a median.
Craig Neustaedter introduced himself as the City's traffic engineering consultant. He
said he was asked to do a traffic study on the 1100 ' long section of Barton Road from
Canal to Mt. Vernon. He explained there are too many driveways in too short of a
distance, resulting in many traffic conflicts. Following his review he developed two
possible plans for the City to gain access control and improve safety in that section of
Barton Road. He distributed plans to Planning Commissioners to review.
Plan #1 calls for re-striping and signage.
Plan#2 calls for construction of a raised median and would provide more positive traffic
control for cross traffic on Barton Road.
Mr. Neustaedter said his direction at this meeting is to discuss the most problematic
segment of Barton Road, between the westerly Bank of America driveway and the
driveway to the loading dock for Stater Bros. Market. He showed overhead
transparencies to demonstrate the area of the short-term project, and explained there
are 8 ingress/egress lanes in a very short distance. Mr. Neustaedter illustrated the 10
conflicting movements possible. He characterized it as an "insane" traffic pattern and
said the City is trying to gain some control over the situation by introducing some type
of median control. He explained 6 of those movements could be eliminated with
implementation of either the proposed double double yellow striped median or a raised
median. He explained a double double yellow striped median is legally enforceable as
a raised median.
If either a double double yellow striped median or a raised median is installed in the
subject area of Barton Road traffic will be restricted to only the following movements:
I. Southbound left turn from Town & Country Center;
2. Southbound through movement from Town & Country Center;
3. Eastbound Barton Road left turn into Town & Country Center;
4. Westbound Barton Road left turn into Bank of America;
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 4
May 18, 2000
The following turning movements would be eliminated:
1. Northbound through movement from Bank of America into Town & Country
Center;
2. Northbound left onto Barton Road from Bank of America;
3. Northbound through movement from Stater Bros. loading area;
4. Northbound left onto Barton Road from Stater Bros. loading area; and
5. Westbound left from Barton Road into Stater Bros. loading area.
7:25 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
Chairwoman Van Gelder explained each speaker must fill out a "Request
to Speak" form and will be restricted to 3 minutes.
Barbara Pfenninghausen
22111 Ladera St
Grand Terrace, CA 92313
Ms. Pfenninghausen said it is a privilege to speak before the Planning
Commission. She said when she was a council member about 10 years ago
they struggled with the same problem. She asked if there is a high rate of
accidents in the subject area.
Mr. Neustaedter said he reviewed a 2 year period and found at least 5 collisions, 3
which would be correctable with right-of-way controls. He explained the information is
based on the Switters Reports, which the Sheriffs Dept. files with the CHP. The
Sheriffs Dept. is required to file reports with CHP when an accident involves an injury
or fatality. He said there is a likelihood there have been other accidents involving
property damage only. They would not be included in the Switters Reports which he
reviewed. In response to a question from Ms. Pfenninghausen, Mr. Neustaedter said it
may be possible to collect property damage reports from the Sheriffs Dept. but it is an
extremely time consuming and labor intensive process. Each traffic collision report
must be reviewed.
Ms. Pfenninghausen said she believes the City has a liability issue now existing
if we now have this information and choose to do nothing to make that area of
Barton Road safer. She said she has never seen an accident in the subject area
in the 25 years she has lived in Grand Terrace. She said it may be difficult to
plan a comprehensive beautification program for Barton Road because it may
create a difficult traffic situation for residents on the north side of Barton Road if
the median is extended west of Canal to Michigan. She agreed it appears there
is a serious situation in front of Bank of America but suggested we may need to
get more detailed information about additional property damage accidents not
included in the Switters Reports.

May 18, 2000
Rex Edmundson
22111 Newport, Space #164
Grand Terrace, CA 92313
Mr. Edmundson said he has a business at 22476 Barton Road. He said he has
had his barber business in Grand Terrace for 45 years. He said he goes to
Bank of America at least 1 or 2 times each week. He has seen 1 accident since
Bank of America has been there. He said the proposed median would cut off
eastbound Barton Road traffic to his business. He said if the City doesn't want
to help businesses he will move to Colton on Washington where there is no
median. He asked if staff has done a study in other areas of the impact of a
median on businesses. Mr. Edmundson said he owns another parcel on Barton
Road west of Canal. He said it is rented as residential and there is no way he
will be able to develop it if there is a median on Barton Road. Mr. Edmundson
said he is ashamed to say he lives in Grand Terrace when he sees the gray
building at the northwest corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon. He concluded
by saying a median from the 1-215 freeway to the east City Limits would push
traffic from the freeway all the way through town.
Mr. Neustaedter responded to Mr. Edmundson's inquiry about a median study by
saying he could not tell Mr. Edmundson what economic impact a median would have on
his business but he said he has dealt with access control issues for 20 years. There
are frequently complaint from retail shop owners about medians but he knew of no
instance where median installation resulted in a business failure in the vicinity of the
project.
Barney Karger
11668 Bernardo Way
Grand Terrace, CA 92313
He said he has been building in Hesperia for 15-20 years. About 5 yrs. ago the
City began installing medians and his experience is that businesses do move
when medians are installed. Two real estate office he knows of in one particular
shopping center went out of business and a third moved to another city. "No
governmental agency every does anything right!" He stated no business should
every get a subsidy from the City. Businesses with either make it on their own or
they won't. Likewise, no property owner should ever be given anything free.
Mr. Karger said he goes to the Bank of America 6 to 10 times per month. He has
never seen an accident and has never had a problem in front of the Bank of
America. He said there is no reason for a median, he referred to "Hitler and his
salami gang". Mr. Karger acknowledged there is traffic during the morning and
evening rush hours, but "the rest of the time a blind man can cross the street and
not worry about the traffic." He offered to cross the street with a blindfold and
white cane.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 6
May 1E, 2000
Mr. Karger opposed placing trees in a median because of City liability. He said
trees on the sides of streets are fine but doubted the City would care for them.
He said several years ago he offered to personally plant trees on the east side
of Mt. Vernon from Barton Road to Pico St., but the City would not accept the
responsibility to water them.
4
7:45 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
Chairwoman Van Gelder explained the purpose of the meeting is to come up with ideas
to send forward to the City Council.
Chairwoman Van Gelder said:
1. The double double yellow striped median would be valueless; a median must be
raised to be effective;
2. The area in consideration is a major accident waiting to happen;
3. The City has a responsibility to make our streets as safe as possible; and
4. A planted median would add to the aesthetics of the City.
Commissioner Trainor said she has seen many "very near misses" between vehicles
turning from westbound Barton into the Bank of America and eastbound traffic turning
into the Town & Country Center. She said there is awareness, courtesy and
consideration necessary and it doesn't always happen so tempers often flare.
Commissioner Trainor said she grew up in a small family business and appreciates
how important it is for the careful and thoughtful planning of the placement of left turn
lanes in a median. She said since the City is aware there is a problem at the subject
location she feels we now have an obligation to act to improve the traffic safety. She
agreed with Chairwoman Van Gelder the double yellow painted line may be more
confusing and it still permits violation. She asked if Mr. Neustaedter had some
information on striping vs. a raised median.
Mr. Neustaedter said time raised median is much more effective. Legally the double
double yellow striping has the same standing as a raised median - encroachment into
that area is prohibited. A greater level of enforcement would be necessary to
implement the striping option vs. raised median.
Mr. Neustaedter recommended used of the raised median if at all possible.
Commissioner Wilson said everyone would have to agree the planning was poor
regarding the driveway placement when these driveways were approved by the County
before incorporation. He observed there are several driveways very close to our main
intersection (Barton Rd. and Mt. Vernon), but he said there should be a way to provide
access to some of the small shops on the north side of Barton east of the short-term
project area. He suggested comments be limited to the short-term project area in front
of Bank of America, Town & Country Center and the Stater Bros. loading area
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page 7
May 18, 2000
driveway. He suggested trying to help the traffic safety issues at the subject location to
see if it actually does make a difference. The businesses on the north side of Barton
would probably not be affected.
Commissioner Wilson agreed with the other Commissioners and staff there is no �1
practical use for the double double yellow lines. He said he has seen Arizona-type LJ
median used effectively. He described the Arizona-type median as a raised, rounded
median with rock, similar to a huge speed bump. He said he is definitely in favor of
trying the short-term project. More than 1 citizen has asked him about the safety of
Barton Road in front of Bank of America. He reiterated it was not current staff or
Planning Commission Members who approved the problem area.
Commissioner Ferre' asked staff if a raised median is to be installed, if it would be
planted or with rocks. Director Materassi said the potential funding available would
provide for a raised median with only ground cover. Planting with trees would require
the city to pursue funding and a landscape contract.
Commissioner Ferre' said she shops in Grand Terrace and is uncomfortable driving in
the subject area because of traffic safety concerns. She said she is in favor of trying
something to resolve the problem.
Chairwoman Van Gelder asked if that was sufficient direction from the Planning
Commission. Director Materassi responded in the affirmative.

7:55 P.M. CONVENED PUBLIC WORKSHOP SESSION
• Information from Commissioners
— Chairwoman Van Gelder asked Director Materassi what happened at the
5-11-00 Economic Development Workshop with City Council_ She said
she was prepared to watch it on Channel 3, but it was not televised.
Director Materassi said she thought it was going to be televised. She
apologized for the inconvenience. She told Commissioners she would mail
each a copy of the staff report prepared for the workshop,
— Chairwoman Van Gelder asked staff about the Rite Aid project_ She noticed
the construction trailer is now gone from the site. Director Materassi said
the developer is trying to secure another tenant. The bank does not want to
loan money for a Rite Aid store, based on the financial instability of Rite Aid.
Chairwoman Van Gelder expressed concern about the parking situation in
the Town and Country Center. It is very difficult to find a parking space.
Director Materassi said there is also parking in the back of the center. The
area behind center on the west side is also for the shopping center. She
suggested the property owner may want to install a sign referring motorists
io the rear for additional parking.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Page g
May 18, 2000
— Commissioner Wilson asked what type of business is going to be in the old
Sprouse Ritz building. Director Materassi said the building is being split into
2 spaces. One tenant will be a beauty salon/supply store relocating from
Colton named Bailey's Beauty Salon.
— Commissioner Trainor asked about the old gas station site at the SW corner
of Barton Rd. and Mt. Vernon. Director Materassi said the Jack in the Box
restaurant people decided it could not work at that location. The property
owner in escrow has now proposed another gas station for that site,
although at this time there has been no application filed. She pointed out
gas stations are not a permitted use in the BRSP village core area. When
the City Manager recently asked City Council Members about what they
thought of the idea Council felt if the BRSP standards can be met they
would consider approval of the gas station at that site since that corner is
such a difficult property to find a tenant for. Director said although it is
possible for a gas station to meet the standards it world be very difficult.
Commissioner Ferre' asked staff about the time line for the Hollywood Video
store. Director Materassi said the building permit has been issued and they
are moving very quickly - probably within 2 months.

SUBJECT: Retail Recruitment Contract for Economic Development
Systems (EDS)
LOCATION: BRSP, CM & C2 Areas Adjacent to 1-216 Freeway
RECOMMENDATION: Approval
Background:
During the City's recent fiscal budget meeting, $65,000 was allocated for staff to hire a
retail recruitment consultant to help staff implement our economic development
strategy. The City Council suggested that open bids be conducted or that the final
proposal/contract be submitted to City Council for confirmation.
Staff worked very closely with the consultant to reduce costs and establish measurable
goals. Today we are submitting EDS's final draft proposal for your review. Jim
Harrigan, one of the two principals of EDS will attend the meeting to answer any
questions.
At least six references were contacted and were all positive. Following is a summary
of comments by references staff talked with:
EDS is an excellent"match maker" of retailers and cities;
EDS has an outstanding network of relationships with developers, brokers and
retailers;
EDS creates awareness about economic development;
EDS helps bring property owners and business owners to think in the same
direction about long-term leases and better tenants; and
EDS draws from a regional trade area, not just from a local one
EDS brought businesses that would not otherwise think of locating in our city.
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92313..12A IoQfi) W_ Ik A M P
Additional funding is required to cover marketing meetings, expenses, specialized data
collection and any contingencies, due to the fact that we do not have economic
development staff in addition to the Director to provide support services to the
consultant. Total contract costs will be $77,700. An Addendum to the contract will be
provided at the meeting listing minimum committments of marketing activities and
reporting.
Scope-of Work:
Please review attached scope of work/services to be provided. A copy of the full
proposal is available upon request at the CEDD and will be available at the meeting.
Please feel free to call for a copy.
All parties confirm that retail recruitment is a long term investment because we do not
have control of the land and business relationships take time to nurture. We cannot
expect miracles to happen within a short time frame. Most cities extend contracts over
several years.
Last, and most important, this is not just a "business attraction", but is also a "business
retention" effort. The biggest beneficiaries of this service will be our local retail center
owners and vacant property owners. Jim Harrigan of EDS will help them to market their
land and lease their spaces. A kick-off meeting will be scheduled to introduce EDS to
the target community and all other interested parties. Ideally, in the near future they
will be comfortable calling each other and marketing togetherl
Recommendation:
Move to:
1. Authorize appropriation of$12,700 of redevelopment funds to Account 32-370-
250;
2. Incorporate addendum to proposal/contract; and
3. Direct staff to sign contract with EDS.

Subject: Qualifications and Proposal for a Retail Recruitment,
Retention and Revitalization Program for the Barton
Road Specific Plan and for the C2 and CM Freeway Frontage
Dear Patrizia:
Thank you for your interest in the programs of Economic Development
Systems ("EDS") and for the opportunity to submit our qualifications and
proposal for Retail Recruitment, Retention and Revitalization services.
This cover letter and proposal are designed to be made part of any subsequent
agreement and references the commercial districts known as the Barton Road
Specific Plan and the C2 and CM freeway frontage ("Program Area") and
specifically a focused area to be delineated and defined at a later date.
The aforementioned Economic Development Systems' Retail Recruitment
Program has proven to be a successful, quick starting process beginning with
an initial market analysis and marketing plan design phase, followed by an
immediate, proven, recruitment program crafted to also supplement and
retain the successful businesses in the existing retail base.
Patrizia, please allow me to introduce Economic Development Systems to you
and explain why EDS is the foremost Retail Recruitment and Retention
consultant in the Western United States.
Please note:
• During the last nine years EDS has focused off`- on the design and
implementation of retail and developer recruitment programs to
spur private investment and create additional value by increasing,
Ms. Patrizia Materassi

Page 2
and diversifying the tenant mix in downtown retail "streetfront"
entertainment districts, neighborhood business communities and
commercial corridors.
• Economic Development Systems' program studies and
implementations have been in effect, and proven effective, in the
California cities of Long Beach, Pasadena, Los Angeles, San Diego,
Palmdale, San Jose, Azusa, Rialto, Lawndale, Culver City, Hermosa
Beach, Riverside, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Bellflower, Huntington
Beach, Santa Paula, La Puente and will be commencing soon in
Cypress and Gardena.
• This focus has/is revitalizing stagnate or new sub-markets such as
Pine Avenue, Los Altos and Queensway Bay in Long Beach,
Colorado Boulevard and the Playhouse District in Pasadena,
Downtown San Jose, Westwood Village in Los Angeles' Westside,
the Palmdale Trade and Commerce District, Pier Avenue in
Downtown Hermosa Beach, the Studio District in Downtown O
Culver City, the Downtown Pier District in Huntington Beach, as
well formulating a never implemented retail recruitment plan for
the Mission Inn District in Downtown Riverside.
• The benefits of our Retail Recruitment Implementations include:
• Greater entertainment, dining and
shopping opportunities for residents
and visitors;
• The introduction of traffic generators
for the betterment and retention of
existing retail businesses;
• Added revenues by reducing sales tax
leakage to surrounding communities;
• Job creation;
• A decrease in retail business turnover
by providing more variation of tenant
categories, resulting in a more stable,
Ms. Patrizia Materassi
May 3, 2000
Page 3
better balanced, successful commercial
district;
• Support for local landlords who may
not have the way or means to promote
Qtheir property to the brokerage and/or
tenant community, and;
• The pro-active placement of businesses
that should be in your retail districts,
versus accepting whomever "just
shows tip".
= Our two principals have over forty-six years of collective experience
in business recruitment and retention services in the Los Angeles,
San Diego, Riverside, Contra Costa, San Mateo, San Bernardino,
Ventura, Santa Clara and Orange County areas.
• We work closely with associate team members such as Gensler;
Economics Research Associates; The Arroyo Group; Hyett/Palma;
Kotin Mouchly Group; Seifel Associates; Asset Strategies; Sedway
Associates; Linda Congleton & Associates, etc.
Patrizia, rather than simply submit our own "Scope of Work" in the following
proposal, we will also provide our "Goals" exercise which we normally
develop as an important initial step in this work program. This step should
provide a tool for discussion with City management and staff to fine-tune the
subsequent Scope.
Regarding the time frame of our Scope, it is our opinion, based on our recent
recruiting experiences in similarly positioned commercial districts, that a
minimum of 10 hours per week are needed to maintain momentum through
the Phase One Design (Market Analysis and Marketing Plan Development)
and 10 hours per week for the Phase Two Implementation (Recruitment
Plan). Fewer hours will not produce consistent, tangible results.
Please note the Production Schedule (Attachment "A") listing the
approximate start-up times for the various Program components. As stated
for Phase One, at 10 hours per week, we estimate the remaining Program
Area's data base development, compilation and analysis, including marketing
package development and necessary review meetings, from week one
Ms. Patrizia Materassi
May 3, 2000
Page 4
through week twelve, with the 10 hours per week recruitment plan
beginning at week thirteen and lasting through week forty-eight. The
Analysis/Design Phase, as outlined in the following proposal, will be the only
"study" that EDS will need to proceed to Phase Two, Recruitment
Implementation.
The aforementioned tangible results (e.g., lessorltenant negotiations and/or
retailer tours of available space) will begin at approximately the 36-week
Recruitment Phase mark and extend until our mutually agreed objectives are
met. If less than the proposed hours are requested, adjustments for all areas
of performance will be adjusted accordingly.
Our fee structure, outlined on Proposal page 5, assumes that certain segments
of the listed Scope of Work may have already been completed for the Program
Area and/or compiled by previous consultants and/or City staff (e.g., current
broker listings of available properties;ownership lists with two sets of
mailing labels;sales tax data by each Program Area retailer(if possible); traffic
counts;workable base maps; Program Area tenant lists; comprehensive
listings of trade area competition; trade area demographic information; 0
vacant building site plans; parcel plot plans, etc.). If these segments are not
complete or available, then they will have to be completed in a timely
manner by staff (or by EDS for an additional $9,000 charge), or the overall
effectiveness of the program could be compromised.
As you are now aware, Patrizia, we have been/are currently under contract to
provide similar revitalization programs in the cities of Long Beach, Pasadena,
Los Angeles, San Jose, Culver City, La Puente, Huntington Beach, Bellflower,
Santa Paula, Cypress, etc., and have concluded a market research and retail
consultation program for a four-block area of Downtown Santa Ana's
Hispanic "Mercado" area for the Santa Ana Redevelopment Agency.
For comparable work products, we have been under contract for over nine
years with the City of Long Beach in the downtown retail area including Pine
Avenue and, more recently the $750,000,000.00 Queensway Bay project. The
results of our Long Beach efforts can be found on Attachment "B" and "C"
with Attachment "G" being a descriptive letter regarding our proposed 1995
contract from former Director of Community Development Susan Shick to
the Long Beach City Council. Our work product for our two-year effort in the
City of Palmdale on Attachment "D" and "E" with our six-month effort in
Pasadena listed on the previously submitted Attachment "F". Our total
qualifications are more fully described within the attached "Firm
Qualifications".

PROPOSAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A
RETAIL RECRUITMENT, RETENTION AND REVITALIZATION
PROGRAM FOR THE VARIOUS RETAIL COMPONENTS
WITHIN THE BARTON ROAD SPECIFIC PLAN
AND UNDEVELOPED C2 AND CM
FREEWAY FRONTAGE
INTRODUCTION
Economic Development Systems ("EDS") is pleased to submit this proposal for
professional services with respect to the above subject. It is understood that the
City of Grand Terrace wishes to hire a Retail Recruitment Consultant to design
and implement a Retail Recruitment and Retention Program for the various
retail components within the Barton Road Specific Plan commercial district and
undeveloped C2 and CM freeway frontage ("Program Area").
GOALS
The purpose of this Retail Recruitment Program and Implementation Plan is to
establish the Program Area as the Business, Entertainment and Social
Centerpoint of the Community by providing a strategy for establishing a desirable
increase, upgrade and diversity in the mix of retail stores, restaurants and
entertainment venues.
This Plan will also capitalize on the retention of sticcessfid businesses now
located in the Program Area, as well as to build upon and enhance the existing
revitalization programs of the City of Grand Terrace. Specific goals of the
program include the following:
L To develop a realistic market trend analysis through the review and
evaluation of current, available market data for the Grand Terrace trade area.
2. To determine current retail market trends for "traditional" retailers,
restaurateurs and entertainment uses, especially concepts that have not been
established in the Grand Terrace trade area, yet conform to the adopted specific
plans of the Program Area.
3. To create a retail recruitment action "plan" aimed at actively involving Grand
Terrace landlords, existing tenants, commercial brokers, developers, investors
and City management and staff.
4. To recommend target niche concepts aimed at encouraging uses to
1
EcollUrnic
Development
Systenis
compliment the existing retail businesses in the Program Area.
5. To provide recommended tenant absorption direction for in-fill of retail space
and undeveloped sites.
6. To recommend business recruitment incentives that have been successfully
utilized in other cities.
7. To create a retail recruitment plan that provides recommendations that
distinguish the Program Area from other retail already existing or planned in
the greater Grand Terrace trade area.
8. To address, and assign a high priority to, the integration of existing Barton
Road Specific Plan's vacant spaces/buildings and undeveloped freeway
frontage land into the overall marketing plan, including recommendations
for the buildings'/sites' opportunities and constraints from a marketing and
leasing perspective.
9. To identify potential leasing and development sites for retail use. All
recommendations will be made after consultation with City management and
staff and appropriate stakeholders.
10. To determine appropriate developers for the undeveloped freeway frontage
while identifying the names and locational requirements of target "local"
(Grand Terrace area), regional and national tenant types while identifying
specific buildings/sites to accommodate their needs.
11. To implement an action plan for recruiting target market retailers,
restaurateurs, attractions, developers and/or investors to the Program Area.
Development and production of brochures, maps and videos are not included
in the budget presented herein.
SCOPE OF WORK
To achieve the above goals, the following scope of work is required:
1. Kick-Off Meeting with City management, staff, brokers, business and property
owners to discuss Program goals, methodology and to answer questions.
2. Compile inventory, hopefully provided by staff, within the Barton Road
Specific Plan and review area retail uses.
3. Analyze existing retail sales tax data for the Program Area. (It is understood
2
Economic
Development
Systems
that if the City can gain access to this information, EDS will be provided by the
City with a detailed itemization of sales tax information for all uses within the
Program Area to be analyzed on a confidential basis.)
4. Review listings, hopefully provided by staff, of competition in key shopping
areas and centers that provide competitive shopping, dining and/or
entertainment.
5. Prepare a concise, "retailer-friendly" demographic overview of the greater
Grand Terrace residents and, if possible, include tourists, visitors and daytime
employment" population.
6. Conduct selected interviews with knowledgeable real estate and retail
management and/or leasing contacts that are familiar with Program Area and
its competition.
7. Research select local, regional and national retailers and developers.
8. Recommend the highest and best use for Program Area's vacant spaces and
development sites.
9. Prepare a marketing and leasing plan that includes the following:
[a] An analysis of the current retail market;
[b] A concise overview of the Program Area to
determine what retail is needed to satisfy the
voids in the Program Area;
[c] The production of Preliminary Retail Concept
Recommendations;
[d] The identification of potential "Key Tenants"
that would be successful and draw other
successful retailers to the Program Area;
[e] The identity of possible locations for "Key Tenants";
[f] A vacant building use strategy; and,
[g] A plan for a mix of "traditional" retail
stores, restaurant and possible entertainment
usage to complement the existing successes of
the Program Area.

10. Present a concise written report of market research findings, conclusions and
recommendations relating Steps 1-9 above to City management and staff.
11. Create and implement a marketing/promotions action plan for recruiting
the target market businesses, attractions and developers. This will include O
direct contact with potential tenants, investors, developers and/or their
respective brokers; production of specific market information per tenant
request; the disbursement of a monthly Retail Vacancy Roster that will
hopefully be produced, updated and published by City staff; ongoing effort to
expand the original prospective tenant roster; coordinate tours and meetings
with potential tenants and/or developers; describe all economic incentives
that are available through the City; and, assist throughout
negotiation/occupancy as necessary.
APPROACH TO AREA PROMOTION/ANTI-FAVORITISM CONCERNS
It is understood that the Consultant would not be actively representing specific
leasable properties in the Program Area in lease transactions, but would represent
the area as a whole. Tenant referrals will be made directly to the leasing agents
for the properties involved. All prospective tenants will be provided with
information which specifically addresses their individual space and area
requirements. The tenant will then select and eliminate properties as they
believe necessary.
Consultant shall respond accordingly to those properties of interest, via the
listing broker, and will then monitor and participate in the transaction as
required. It has been our experience that dialogue with "hot prospects" must be
on an ongoing basis to insure that if the tenant's first choice does not work out,
the second alternative is then pursued.
It is also highly probable that the Consultant will contact and recruit tenants that
are not represented by an exclusive broker. Upon request by the respective
tenant, Consultant shall provide a list of at least three Grand Terrace area
commercial brokers to represent said tenant. Tenant shall be fully responsible for
further selection of a specific broker. Should there be several area brokers who
should be presented as candidates, then a full listing can be rotated on a case-by-
case basis.
It is also understood that any tenants who do not select the Program Area will be
encouraged to look elsewhere in the City of Grand Terrace for appropriate
locations.
