Permit (CUP) 08-09 to develop approximately 2.32 acres of land by constructing a new 4,448

Family Residential and is located roughly 1/10 mile west of Michigan Street on the north side of
Pico Street at 22010 Pico Street.
WHEREAS, the project was deemed exempt from the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) under Section 15332, Class 32 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This class exempts
in-fill development projects where the site is less than five acres in size and is not viable as
habitat for sensitive species.
WHEREAS, on January 15, 2009, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed
public hearing on the Project at the Grand Terrace Council Chambers located at 22795 Barton
Road, Grand Terrace, California 92313 and concluded the hearing on said date.
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of
Grand Terrace:
1. The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Project is exempt from the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332, Class 32
of the State CEQA Guidelines.
2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect Site and Architectural Review
08-10:
( a. The proposed project is consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace Municipal
- Code and the General Plan. The Project is consistent with the intended land uses
for the Low Density Residential land use designations, which promote the
establishment of institutional uses, such as churches, which in turn supports the
residential uses of the land use district. The Project complies with Implementation
Policies contained in the Hazards Element which requires projects to be reviewed
for traffic safety because the Project was reviewed and determined not to have any
traffic impacts; Implementation Policies of the Aesthetic Resources Element
because the Project will not impact scenic resources such as views to Blue
Mountain because the Project is located over one mile from Blue Mountain and
the height of the ridgeline of the structure is approximately 24 feet, well below the
maximum permitted height; and it is consistent with the Implementation Policies
of the Infrastructure Element because the Applicant will be required to construct
all applicable infrastructure improvements to support Project construction.
The church is a located in the R-1-7.2 (Single Family) zone district. Pursuant to
Chapter 18.10 (Residential Districts) of the Zoning Code, churches are
conditionally permitted in any residential zone district as long as they are on a
minimum 3 acre parcel. The existing church does not conform to the size
limitation; however, the new construction will not increase the intensity of use
beyond the church's historic use of 190 parishioners. This limitation in
combination with Federal religious land use statues, which generally prohibit land
use regulations from impacting the exercise of religion, would render the use
permissible. The Project is providing parking to support use of the Church by 190
i parishioners, and meets all other development standards relating to setbacks,
building heights, building coverage, and open space.
b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this project are
visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures, that they
do not interfere with the neighbors' privacy, that they do not unnecessarily block
scenic views from other structures and/or public areas and are in scale with the
townscape and natural landscape of the area. The height of the building is less
than 24 feet in height. The site will be appropriately landscaped to blend in with
existing development and views of Blue Mountain will not be significantly
impacted.
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 Project has been designed in conformance design guidelines of the City. The
use of stucco is permissible when surfaces are articulated to provide visual
interest. The buildings are proposed with lap siding, with the incorporation of
stucco finishes, variation in building wall planes, metal screed reveals, and the use
of faux shutters.
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
Page 2 of 7
j landscape of the area and nearby developments. In accordance with City Codes
the Project will incorporate perimeter and parking lot landscaping.
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, it's setting and natural landforms are preserved. Grading is
limited to that necessary to establish building pads and meet accessibility
mandates.
f. The design and location of all signs associated with this project are consistent
with the scale and character of the building to which they are attached or
otherwise associated with and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal
Code.
g. Conditions of approval for this project necessary to secure the purposes of the City
of Grand Terrace have been applied to the Project.
3. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect Conditional Use Permit 08-09:
a. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or
general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the
proposed project or within the city. Development of the site is consistent with
applicable development standards, the building will be architecturally pleasing,
and no aspect is expected to be detriment to public health, safety or welfare of
residents. The Project does not create any significant environmental impacts and
is exempt from the provisions of the Environmental Quality Act.
b. The proposed use will not be injurious to property or improvements in the
neighborhood or within the city. The Project will be built in accordance with
applicable codes, meets all applicable setbacks and development standards as
permitted in the City of Grand Terrace Zoning Code and will benefit the
community by improving services for the hearing impaired.
C. The proposed use is will be consistent with the latest adopted General Plan. The
Project is consistent with the intended land uses of the General Plan, and stated in
Paragraph 2a of this Resolution, including Natural Resources Element regarding
energy conservation; Visual Resources because it does not significantly impact
view corridors; and Community Design because it provides for institutional uses.
d. Conditions necessary to secure the purposes of this chapter are made a part of the
conditional use permit.
