WHEREAS, Evergreen DevCo, Inc., represented by Katie Rounds, has applied
for the approval of General Plan Amendment (GPA) 11-01, Zone Change (ZC) 11-01,
and Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) 11-01 to amend the designations on northerly 0.75
acres by amending the General Plan land use designation from Office Commercial to
General Commercial, change the zoning classification from Administrative Professional,
to BRSP-Village Commercial, and amend the boundaries of the Barton Road Specific
Plan to include the northerly 0.75 acres of the site in the Specific Plan.
WHEREAS, concurrent applications filed include Site and Architectural Review

02, to re-subdivide approximately 3.6 acres into four lots and develop, in two Phases, a
37,700 square foot commercial center with 1,800 square feet of outdoor seating. The
Sign Program establishes the sign standards for the commercial center.
WHEREAS, an environmental Initial Study was prepared for the Project pursuant
to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which was circulated for public
review from June 13, 2011 to July 12, 2011. The Initial Study determined that the
project would not have a significant effect on the environment because mitigation
measures have been incorporated into the project to reduce all potential impacts to
insignificant.
WHEREAS, on July 14, 2011, 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, based on the Initial Study, the public
hearing, and substantial evidence in the record, the Project will not have a
significant effect on the environment because all potential environmental impacts
have been mitigated to a level of non-significance through the incorporation of
mitigation measures in the Project approval.
2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to General Plan
Amendment 11-01:
a. The General Plan Amendment promotes the Grand Terrace General Plan
and each element thereof, and leaves the General Plan a compatible,
integrated and internally consistent statement of goals and policies
because the proposed amendment conforms to Land Use Element Goal
2.3 to provide a wide range of retail and service commercial opportunities
designed to meet the needs of the City's residents, businesses, and
visitors while also providing employment opportunities and with Public
Services Goal. 7.1 to coordinate and balance the provision of public
services with planned development because the site can be served by
existing public service sand utilities.
b. The General Plan Amendment is consistent with key objectives of the
General Plan to promote new commercial development that will capitalize
on the City's proximity to major transportation corridors and to provide for
balanced growth, which seeks to provide opportunities for a wide range of
employment and housing and the maintenance of a healthy diversified
economy; and consistent with the intent of the General Commercial
designation provides for general commercial uses to serve the retail and
service needs of the community.
c. Adoption of this General Plan Amendment will not be in conflict with
Section 65358 (b) of the Government Code relating to the number of
amendments permitted per year, because this amendment is the first
amendment of calendar year 2011.
3 The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Zone Change 11-01:
a. The proposed amendment 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 amendment or be injurious to
property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the city because
the re-designation permits the same level of commercial development as
the existing designation. The zone change will allow the development of a
cohesive commercial center under one zoning classification, subject to
one set of development standards, and subject to specific conditions of
approval.
b. The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest adopted
General Plan. The Zone Change to BRSP-VC would permit a variety of
village commercial uses such drug stores, markets, cafes, bakeries, gift
shops, bookstores, food and restaurant uses, and other similar
commercial retail uses. The proposed re-zoning will allow for the ultimate
development of a village commercial center consistent with the intent of
the proposed GC General Plan land use designation to provide for general
commercial uses that would serve the retail and service needs of the
community.
4. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Specific Plan
Amendment 11-01:
a. The proposed amendment to consistent with the adopted Barton Road
Specific Plan. The proposed Amendment to incorporate the 0.75-acre
site into the BRSP and zone it BRSP-VC is consistent with Land
Use/Economic objectives to maximize the economic position of the BRSP
by promoting sales tax-generating uses because commercial retail uses
will be developed on the site; and the design promotes Land
Use/Economic objectives to promote a distinctive commercial cluster
rather than strip commercial.
b. The proposed amendment will be consistent with the latest adopted
General Plan. The inclusion of the 0.75-acre site into the BRSP will allow
for the ultimate development of a cohesive village commercial center
consistent with the intent of the proposed GC General Plan land use
designation to provide for general commercial uses that would serve the
retail and service needs of the community.
5. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4
above, this Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration and approve General Plan Amendment 11-01,
Zone Change 11-02, Specific Plan Amendment 11-01.
6. Specifically, the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council
amend the General Plan Land Use designation on property shown on the
attached Exhibit 1 from Office Commercial (OC) to General Commercial (CG);
change the zoning classification of property shown on the attached Exhibit 2 from
Administrative Professional (AP) to Barton Road Specific Plan-Village
Commercial (BRSP-VC); and modify the boundaries of the Barton Road Specific
Plan as shown on the attached Exhibit 3a through 3h.
