INTRODUCTION The Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") for the Grand Terrace Redevelopment Project ("Project" ) consists of the Text and the Redevelopment Plan Map ("Map" ) . This Plan has been prepared by the Community Redevelopment of. the City of the Grand Terrace ("Agency") pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law of the State of California ("Redevelop- ment Law" ) , the United States Constitution, the Califor- nia Constitution, and all applicable local laws and ordinances. The California Community Redevelopment Law is located in the California Health and Safety Code, Section 33000, et. seq. II. PROJECT AREA BOUNDARY The boundary of the Grand Terrace Redevelopment Project area ("Project area" ) is illustrated on the Map. The Legal description of the boundary of the Project area is as follows: (See Exhibit "A" , "Project Boundary Description.") ' -1- III. PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT ACTIONS A. General_ The Agency proposes to eliminate and prevent the spread of blight and deterioration in the Project area and by: 1. Providing for participation by owners and tenants of properties located in the Project area by extending preferences to remain or relocate within the redevelopment area; 2. Acquisition of real property; 3 . Relocation assistance to displaced Project occupants; 4 . Demolition or removal of certain buildings and improvements; 5. Installation, construction, or reconstruc- tion of streets, utilities, and other public improvements; 6. Assisting development and/or rehabilitation of residences occupied by persons and fami- lies of low and moderate incomes and elimina- ting blighted conditions by using income accrued on such loans in excess of the Agency' s debt service requirements for such purposes; 7 . Disposition of property for uses in accordance with this Plan; 8 . Redevelopment of land by private enterprise and public agencies for uses in accordance with this Plan; 9. Making below-market rate loans, thus making housing available to moderate income, and if feasible, low income occupants. B. Property Acquisition 1. Acquisition of Real Property Except as specifically exempted herein, the Agency may acquire but is not required to acquire, any real property located in the Project area, by -2- ,1 gift, devise, exchange , purchase , eminent domain or any other lawful method. It is in the public interest and is necessary in order to eliminate the conditions requiring redevelopment and in order to execute the Plan, for the power of eminent domain to be employed by the Agency to acquire real property in the Project area. No eminent domain proceeding to acquire property within the Project area, shall be commenced after twelve (12) years following the date of adoption of the ordinance approving and adopting this Redevelopment Plan. Such time limitation may be extended only by amendment of this Redevelop- ment Plan. To the extent permitted and in the manner required by law, the Agency may declare specific property within the Project area to be exempt from acquisi- tion by eminent domain under this Plan. The Agency shall have no power of eminent domain as to property so designated, unless this Plan is thereafter amended to expressly make the property subject to acquisition by eminent domain. The Agency shall not acquire interests in oil , gas , or other mineral or hydrocarbon substances of any kind or character within the Project area, except to preclude the right to explore for , pro- duce or extract such substances through any open- ing or penetration for any purpose connected there- with within 500 feet from the surface of any prop- erty in the Project area. The Agency shall not acquire real property to be retained by an owner pursuant to a participation agreement if the owner fully performs under the agreement. The Agency is authorized to acquire structures without acquiring- the land upon which those structures are located. The Agency is also authorized to acquire any other interest in real property less than a fee . -3- The Agency shall not acquire real property on which an existing building is to be continued on its present site and in its present form and use without the consent of the owner, unless (1) such building requires structural alterations , improvement, modernization-, or rehabilitation, or (2) the site or lot on which the building is situated requires mod- ification in size, shape, or use, or (3) it is necessary to impose upon such property any of the standards, restrictions and controls of the Plan and the owner fails or refuses to participate in the Plan by executing a par- ticipation agreement. 2. Acquisition of Personal Property Generally, personal property shall not be acquired. However , where necessary in the execution of this Plan, the Agency is authorized to acquire personal property in the Project area by any lawful means except eminent domain. C. Participation by Owners and Tenants 1. Opportunities for Owner and Tenant Participation I The Agency shall extend preferences to persons who are engaged in business in the Project area, to remain and/or reenter in business within the re- developed area if they otherwise meet the require- ments prescribed by the Plan. Residential owners in the Project area shall be extended preference to reenter with a permitted use or business in the redevelopment area if they otherwise meet the re- quirements prescribed by the Plan. The Agency shall also extend preferences to other owners and tenants in the Project area if they otherwise meet the requirements prescribed by the Plan. The Agency is authorized to permit owners and tenants , if they so desire, to purchase and develop real property in the Project area. The Agency is 'also authorized to permit persons who are owners of real property in the Project area to be given the opportunity to participate -4- in redevelopment by rehabilitation , by retention of improvements , or by new develop- ment by retaining all or a portion of their properties , by acquiring adjacent or other properties from the Agency and by purchasing other properties in the Project area. If conflicts develop between the desires of participants for particular sites or land uses , the Agency is authorized to establish reasonable priorities and preferences among the owners and tenants and to determine a solution by consideration of such factors as length of time in the area; accommodation of as many participants as possible; ability to perform; similar land use to similar land use; conformity with intent and purpose of this Plan. In addition to opportunities for participation by individual persons and firms , participation to the extent it is feasible shall be available for two or more persons, firms or institutions , to join together in partnerships , corporations , or other joint entities. Participation is desired in the redevelopment of the Project area by as many owners and tenants as possible . Participation opportunities shall necessarily be subject to and limited by such factors as the expansion of public facilities; elimination and changing of land uses ; realign- ment of streets; the ability of owners to finance acquisition and development in accordance with the Plan; any reduction in the total number of individual parcels in the Project area; and assembly and development of areas for public and/or private development in accordance with this Plan. The Agency shall in its sole dis- cretion determine whether an owner participation proposal is consistent with the fulfillment of the Redevelopment Plan. 2 . Rules for Participation Opportunities The Agency shall promulgate rules for owner and tenant participation. -5- 3 . Participation Agreements Each person desiring to become a participant must be willing to enter into a binding agree- ment with the Agency by which the participant agrees to rehabilitate , develop, or use the property in conformance with the Plan and to be subject to the provisions hereof . In such agreements , participants who retain real prop- erty shall be required to join in the recorda- tion of such documents as are necessary to make the provisions of this Plan applicable to their properties . In the event an owner-participant fails or refuses to rehabilitate or develop his real property pur- suant to this Plan and a participation agreement as defined herein, the real property or any interest therein may be acquired by the Agency and sold or leased for rehabilitation or develop- ment in accordance with this Plan. Whether or not a participant enters into a particip- ation agreement with the Agency the provisions of this Plan are applicable to all public and private property in the Project area. . 4 . Certificates of Conformance As an alternative to requiring a participation agreement for each property not to be purchased or subject to Agency acquisition by eminent domain, the Agency is authorized to make determinations of those properties which conform to the Redevelopment Plan . If such a determination is made by the Agency, the Agency may issue a Certificate of Conformance to qualifying properties and such property will not be subject to acquisition by eminent domain under this Plan so long as the property continues to con- form to this Redevelopment Plan and to such further terms and conditions as the Agency may require as necessary or appropriate to carry out the Plan. D. Cooperation with Public Bodies Certain public bodies are authorized by state law to aid and cooperate, with or without consideration, -6- in the planning, undertaking, construction , or operation of this Project.

Property Manaqement During such time as property, if any, in the Project area is owned by the Agency, such property shall be under the management and control of the Agency. Such property may be rented or leased by the Agency pending its disposition for redevelopment, and such rental or lease shall be pursuant to such policies as the Agency may adopt. The Agency may, but is not required to, in any year during which it owns property in the Project area pay from tax increments , if any , actually received by the Agency from the Project directly to all taxing agencies involved an amount of money in lieu of taxes equal to the amount that would have been received by each taxing -7- agency had the property not been exempt by virtue of Agency ownership.

Building Permits No permit shall be issued for the construction of any new building or for any construction on an existing building in the Project area from the date of adoption of this Plan until the application for such permit has been processed in the manner herein provided and, in the case of property which is the subject of a disposition and development -21 or participation agreement with the Agency and any other property in the discretion of the Agency Board, unless and until the application for such permit has been approved by the Agency Board. Any such permit that is issued must be in conformance with the provisions of this Plan. Upon receipt of such an application for permit the Executive Director of the Agency shall be re- quested by the City to review the application to determine what effect, if any, the issuance thereof would have upon the Plan. Within twenty-five (25,) days thereafter said Executive Director shall file with the City a written report setting forth his finding of fact . Said report shall include, but is not limited to , the following: 1. Whether the proposed improvements would be compatible with the standards and other requirements set forth in this Plan ; and 2 . What modifications , if any, in the proposed improvements would be necessary in order to meet the requirements of the Plan; and 3 . Whether the applicant has entered into an agreement with the Agency for the develop- ment of said improvements and submitted development plans to the Agency. After receipt of said report, or if no report is submitted by the Executive Director within said 25-day period, the City may issue the permit with or without conditions; provided, however that the City shall withhold the issuance of the permit if the Executive Director finds in said report that the proposed improvement does not meet the requirements of this Plan. Within five (5) days after allowing or with- holding issuance of the permit the City shall notify by certified mail the applicant and the Executive Director of its decision. The applicant may appeal the findings of the Executive Director to the Agency Board by filing a written notice of appeal within -22- s ten (10) days of receipt of the City notice. The Agency Board may at its option hear the appeal and affirm, reverse or modify the find- ings of the Executive Director. V. METHODS OF FINANCING THE PROJECT A. General Description of the Proposed Financing Methods The Agency is authorized to finance this Project with financial assistance from the City, State of Califor- nia, interest income, Agency bonds, including mortgage revenue bonds, or any other available source. Advances and loans for survey and planning and for the operating capital for nominal administration of this Project have been and are to be provided by the City until funds are available or sufficiently assured to repay the loans and to permit borrowing adequate working capital from sources other than the City. The City as it is able will also supply additional assistance through City loans and grants for various public facilities. As available, gas tax funds from the State of Califor- nia and the County of San Bernardino will be used for the street system. Also all or a portion of the park- ing may be installed through a parking authority or otherwise. The Agency is authorized to issue bonds if appropriate and feasible in an amount sufficient to finance all or any part of the Project. The Agency is authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds and create indebtedness in carrying out this Plan. The principal and interest on such advances, funds, and indebtedness may be paid from funds avail- able to the Agency. B. Tax Increments All taxes levied upon taxable property within the Project area each year by or for the benefit of that State of California, County of San Bernardino, City -23- of Grand Terrace, any district, or other public corporation (hereinafter sometimes called "taxing agencies" ) after the effective date of the ordinance approving this Redevelopment Plan, shall be divided as follows : 1. That portion of the taxes which would be pro- duced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of said taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the Redevelopment Project as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by such tax- ing agency, last equalized prior to the effective date of such ordinance, shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said taxing agencies on all other property are paid (for the purpose of allocating taxes levied by or for any taxing agency or agencies which did not include the territory of the Project on the effective date of such ordinance but to which such territory is annexed or otherwise included after such effective date, the assessment roll last equalized on the effective date of said ordinance shall be used in determining the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the Project on said effective date) ; and 2. That portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of such amount shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into a special fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on bonds , loans, moneys advanced to, or indebted- ness (whether funded, refunded, assumed or other- wise) incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance in whole or in part, this Redevelopment Project. Unless and until the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project exceeds the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in paragraph (1) hereof, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. When said bonds, loans, advances and indebtedness, if . any, and interest thereon, have been paid, -24- � a all moneys thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. 3. That portion of tax revenues allocated to the Agency pursuant to paragraph (2) above which is attributable to increases in the rate of tax imposed for the benefit of any affected taxing agency which levy occurs after the tax year in which the ordinance adopting this Plan becomes effective, shall be allocated to such affected taxing agency to the extent taxing agency has elected in the manner required by law to receive such allocation. The portion of taxes mentioned in paragraph (2) is hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the advance of moneys, or making of loans, or the incurring of any indebted- ness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) by the Agency to finance or refinance the Project in whole or in part. The Agency is authorized to make such pledges as to specific advances, loans and indebtedness as appro- priate in carrying out the Project. Taxes shall be allocated and paid to the Agency consis- tent with the provisions of this Plan only to pay the principal of and interest on loans , moneys advanced to, or indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed, or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance in whole or in part, the Redevelopment Project. The number of dollars of taxes which may be divided and allocated to the Agency pursuant to California Health and Safety Code, Section 33670 shall not ex- ceed 16 . 0 Million Dollars ($16 , 000 , 000 . 00) except by amendment of this Redevelopment Plan. No loan, advance or indebtedness to be repaid from such allocations of taxes established or incurred by the Agency to finance in whole or in part the Redevelopment Project shall be established or in- curred after twelve (12) years following the date -25- of adoption of the ordinance approving and adopting this Redevelopment Plan.. Such loan, advance or indebtedness may be repaid over a period of time longer than such time Limit. Such time limitation may be extended only by amendment of this Redevelop- ment Plan. The amount of bonded indebtedness, to be repaid, in whole or in part .from such allocation of taxes, which can be outstanding at one time shall not exceed 8 . 0 Million Dollars ($8 , 000, 000. 00) , without an amendment of this Redevelopment Plan..

The project consists of some seven plots totaling some 226+ acres on which it is proposed to build some 578 residential units - all single family residences except 4 duplexes. These are all within the boundaries of the City of Grand Terrace and conform to their General Plan. The study and investigations indicated there were no major impacts. The following is a summary of the minor impacts and any possible mitigation measures. Air quality is always adversely impacted by the addition of residences, primarily from the automobile. The dust from grading operations. can be mostly mitigated by sprinkling during grading. Energy conservation -- and Federal - State auto emission standards will further reduce the impacts. The addition of some 2000 new residents to the community will increase the traffic, but the collector and through streets can absorb this without any significant impact. There may be a minor impact upon the schools and the school district is analyzing this now. Sewage treatment facility capacity may be a problem. There is litigation pending now between the City of Colton, who has jurisdiction over the treatment plant and the City of Grand Terrace. While there is i apparently treatment capacity available, the additional sewage generation expected from this project probably should be a part of the current negotiations between the Cities. v I The minor potential impact in the area of water is the capacity of the storage tank now servicing Plot No. 1 in the eastern section of the City. The developer of Plot No. 1 should supply the Water Company with a copy of the tract map with elevations, so that the Water " Company can determine if there .is a real problem, and what may be done to mitigate it if necessary. Energy conservation is an important item now. The City is requiring R-19 insulation, solar water heating, and double glazed glass which can reduce the energy requirements of a residence up to some 50 percent. This is a significant -mitigation measure. i vi _ t PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Grand Terrace lies between Riverside and San Bernardino and is east of Colton i.n San Bernardino County (Figure 1 ) . The City of Grand Terrace Community Redevelopment Agency is process- ing a redevelopment program for the upgrading of the residential environment of the City. This is based upon State Senate Bill 99 and certain sections of the IRS regulations which reduce the mortgage interest rates on residential developments. This, in turn, facilitates the purchase of housing by the citizenry. Grand Terrace is in an area . of rapid population growth, and it is also felt that this type of program will better control the residential growth in the City, in accordance with the City's General Plan. There are seven parcels being considered for this redevelopment, and they are shown in Figure 2, Project Area Map. There are six developers working with the City (Plots 6 and 7 will be developed by the same entity). Plot 2 is actually divided into four separate tracts,- but these are contiguous and will . be developed by one entity. Lot 7 will have 16 SFR's and 4 duplexes. I I The following shows additional pertinent details on the proposed developments: Plot No. of Lots Acres Density Per Acre Average Sellinq Cost 1 125 80 1 .56 $120,000.00 2 294 97 3.00 68,000.00 3 34 8. 77 3.80 76,000.00 4 55 14 3.90 55,000.00 5 13 3.15 4.13 85,000.00 6 33 9.43 3.50 67,500. 00 7 16 16. 39 1 .46 105,000.00 + 4 duplexes Total Lots 574 226 Acres Total Units 578 i i (These figures are preliminary and may vary slightly from the final detailed submittals. However, this would not affect the ba- sic findings of this study. ) 1 S + • These plots are all within the corporate limits of the City. The details of each individual development or plot are being controlled by the City through the normal submittals and approvals of Tract Maps, Soils Reports, etc. I� i 2 to i"Ini'dole - 7o Vino7vine L • L�A Big Pinesll1 —�_ »v e RJ A 138 L 1 11 u[RIOc[ P h A ts A'S ---� r ROAD e ' °MILL CRESS A J�V 5rC N rLAi ♦Ayl WrighlWood CAE/.AI or 1 I --' ALUPINL 'Summit N 44 y Cajon Z IU _ 173 Mt.San ARIoR%o i A TOLL ROAD I'hT �lh (Old Bsld) r Kra, ChF 4q s oD sr uMP A 10064 Y � ui5 ] (� F REC._ Oh ♦ CAJON dxr� R ___ i �� AwN rr RD 138 9'P 173 y1 O, I Lytle Creek Camp ' Zp ° 70 ° cuclER NGA y l2 Seele fi WILDERNESS I CIJCAMO LANE , A% 189 Lake Arrowhead Crestline DR a se'„'• o A -Mount Baldy F C"Pf a °Rr 18 I ROAD 7 OOGwOOD `---� 9oSy UMP SAN BERNARDINO m° �Jp? °9gsrNATIONAL FOREST 18 , Running Verdemont rfN° �,Lt; I� Arrowhead Springs pG prings I r!` 1 AC<sA nrw o[[i`rrioj�� R�JNFD /LT WW��RS 'QGla, —sAM-.rNr�Nrao'�j�y 11 I •A�F •206 o, 1g Q a+oYH---' ___iHolAu wis San Antonio ms, z ---T 0 Heights AV °F 9� a N \ It_ I-AiRis J�llz ____ ____ P SJSP 1EW w W-'"LYIiw6DS] ' —A'= 30 L N svl� 330 I ` -< ==�eseeeeee5e8 HIGHLAND a AV a 3n __�- ; nA_ IBTH%Alta Loma ST 0 202 FminlonD a HIG LAND 30a> •R AVg U Highland n Etiwanda ./ IIF� III g e�_F 3Q BAA LILAC IRD xAirnorl I , < I"' �00.¢LINE xl ST IIII P `°b'`16T`^ �' '— r' SAN ,BERNARDINO s`a� East IS¢ �y Upland _%^ ;•Ati Atrpotl `I `I _____� Ir Highland FOOTHILL BLVD `I FOOTHILL.RIQItO �LyDI- _ -1N ST Ibnt A ARRQ I RourE 66 66 Z ST'> - °RLENSPOT i MROW I BLVD O STHz .6?: Norton m 30 RD io Nr• --1'�� B3 Cucamonga 0' Font'ana I "' -^fs_`a ;a' ` '< XA4Fa. yak r ^• ~T B. o'MARIory I I '`_� a�40? ` J p MILL i 5'{l STI '_____.

O ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING, IMPACT ASSESSMENT, AND MITIGATION MEASURES CLIMATE The area has a semi-arid Mediterranean climate, with rainfall averaging approximately 10" per year. Most of the precipitation falls in the winter months. The winter months can produce some 14 days of 32' F. .or below temperature; the summer months some 75 days of 90' F. temperature and above. These variances cause the widespread use of space heating and cooling. Other than this, the climate will have no unusual impact on the project, nor the project on the climate. No mitigation measures are proposed. PALEONTOLOGIC RESOURCES ' From the general geologic formation of the area, one would not expect to find.any paleontological resources. A general survey of the plots confirmed this. No mitigation measures are proposed. GEOLOGIC RESOURCES AND SOILS The topography of the City is one of steep hills on the greater number of plots to the east (to the west on Plot 1 ) to nearly level areas in the main portion of the City. The ground slopes generally from east to west, with gradients of some 4 percent over most of the area. The soils form on alluvial fans and terraces from granitic rocks, and overlay younger and older alluvium of Quaternary age. Along the eastern and northwestern boundaries are Mesozoic granitic intrusions of the Southern California batholith. The soil series of Arlington, Greenfield, Monserate, and Pachappa 6 form on alluvial fans and terraces. They are easily used for irrigated and dry- farming. Although there are faults nearby, no known faults pass through Grand Terrace; thus, damage from fault displacement and tectonic creep is expected to be nil . However, there is a possibility of damage from earthquake shaking. At least one tremor has had its epicenter within the study area boundaries - .September 3, 1935, magnitude 4. 5. Groundwater is present at depth (around 200' below land surface in 1960) , so liquefaction potential is low. Based on evaluation of the potential causative earthquake faults and associated seismic parameters, the following criteria represent the postulated design earthquake for the area! Causative fault: San Jacinto Fault Distance to site: Approximately 2.5+ miles Maximum Probable Earthquake: M=7.2 Relative movement: Right lateral Fault bearing: N45W Repeatable high ground acceleration at the surface: 0.27g for lots underlain by older alluvium and 0.30g for lots �jdgflaj97 decomposed granitic bedrock (from Seed, Muraka, Duration of strong shaking: 26 to 31 seconds (from Bolt, 1973) . Site period: 0.5 second to 1 .0 second (from Lew, 1968). Mitigation Measures The developers' structural engineers or designers should consider the following criteria in determining the acceptable level of risk for the project, and in the formulation of final plans and specifications, 7 EITHER 0.27 g repeatable high ground acceleration. OR The overturning effects caused by wind forces, whichever is greater, in accordance with Section 2312 (f) of the Uniform Building Code; AND 0.5 to 1 . 0 second site period. Notwithstanding, the minimum siesmic design for future residential structures should comply with minimum standards contained in Chapter 23 of the Uniform Building Code. Accordingly, wood-frame dwellings, so designed, should survive the design earthquake without collapse. Development along the margin of mountainous terrain should be protected from the downslope movement of loose rock and/or boulders during earthquake induced strong ground shaking (Plot Nos. 1 and 2 on Figure 2). Future water storage tanks should be designed for anticipated earth- quake forces recommended. Standard grading practices should be followed. 8 WATER RESOURCES AND DRAINAGE Because of the relatively small watershed around Grand Terrace and existing flood control channels, there should .be no significant impacts from surface runoff. Depth to groundwater was some 200 feet in 1960. Water quality samples indicate a high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) exists in the vicinity of Riverside Highland Water Company and Irrigation Well No. 7, near Main and Taylor Street, and a severeTDS gradient exists along Barton Road, where many septic tanks are in use. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board prohibited uncontrolled waste discharges in the area after July 1 , 1976, which means that all new construction must be hooked up to sewer lines for collection and treatment of sewerage. Because of the gentle gradients throughout most of the City, no serious erosion problems should be encountered. P1ot. No. 1 could encounter a problem because of terrain. Mitigation Measures Hook-up of the units to the sewage system is mandatory and is being planned for by the developers. Grading plans for Plot No. 1 should be analyzed by the City for conformance to requirements to prevent future erosion. 9 VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE Environmental Setting Vegetation on the proposed project sites consists mainly of evergreen and deciduous trees scattered throughout, and annual grasses. Orchard trees exist on those properties marked Nos. 2, 4, and 7. Parcel 1 retains evidence of a coastal sage scrub plant community, although dis.cing or brush control has removed most of the vegetation. Wildlife present on the sites are the usual birds, rodents, and small creatures typical of an urban/suburban area, which adapt to the close proximity of human activity. No unusal , rare, or endangered species were noted on these properties, nor are any anticipated to be found there. Impact Assessment The orchards (citrus) presently found on the property will be replaced with houses and individual landscaping. Animals will tend to move to other vacant areas. Birds which adapt to human occupation will most likely find nesting habitats in planted vegetation. There will be a minor impact, but it is not determined to be significant. Mitigation Measures None are deemed to be necessary. 10 ARCHAEOLOGIC AND HISTORIC RESOURCES An archaeological survey of the sites was accomplished by Dr: Christopher E. Drover for this study. His report is included in its entirety as Appendix A. No archaeological resources were found on the sites. A records search by the San Bernardino County Museum has been requested and will be available later to include in the Final EIR. No mitigation measures are deemed necessary. r 11 LAND USE AND ZONING The General Plan for the City of 'Grand TerrAce shows these sites to be planned for residential use. Plot No. 1 is in an area designated as Residential 1-2 units per acre. This plot shows a density of 1 .56 units per acre, which is well within the General Plan. The rest of the developments surround the central area of the City and are shown as Residential 2-4 dwelling units per acre. All of these have densities that are less than 4/acre, with the exception of Plot No. 5. This is a relatively small plot of some 13 SFR' s on 4.13 acres, which gives a density of 4. 13/acre. The zoning map conforms with the General Plan, so that, in general , the .projects conform to the surrounding land use and zoning. Mitigation Measures The one situation that should be addressed is Plot No. 5, that is slightly over the standard zoning density of 4 - 4.13/acre. Several alternatives can be considered, as follows: a. The City could accept this as is, since it is a small plot, - with little room to adjust the layout. b. A variance could be approved. c. A change to the zoning and General Plan could be instituted, which would take considerable time and effort. d. The City could require the developer to redesign the project to reduce the number of units by "one" which would increase the cost of the remaining twelve units. 12 DEMOGRAPHICS Environmental Settinq According to an environmental impact report prepared by Albert A. Webb Associates in April 1975, the population of Grand Terrace was 2222 persons according to the 1960 -census; in the 1970 census the number increased to 6225 persons. The annual growth rate of 10.9 percent was deemed in excess of the San Bernardino County annual growth rate of 3 percent. The estimated holding capacity for Grand Terrace is about 15,000 persons, based on existing zoning classifications. Based on 3.5 persons per dwelling unit and 578 units in the proposed project, the number of persons generated would be 2,023. This is not deemed to be a significant impact; therefore, no mitigation measures are offered. 13 CIRCULATION AND TRAFFIC Environmental Setting There are no particular traffic or circulation problems in the main section of the City of Grand Terrace. Barton Road, La Cadena Avenue, Main Street, and Mt. Vernon Avenue are the principal through streets, with Interstate 15 freeway being the principle high speed throughway with interchanges at Barton Road, La Cadena Avenue, and Washington Street off of Barton Road. The Southern California Rapid Transit District provides public transit to the area. Impact Assessment This project totals some 578 units distributed throughout the City. Using an average of 10 average daily trips (ADT) per unit, this total project would generate some 5780 trips per day. It is estimated that the average trip length could be as 'much as 25 miles, as some of the residents will travel to Riverside, San Bernardino, and other nearby areas, and even Orange County to get to their places of work. This would yield a total of 144,500 vehicle miles traveled per day, much of which would be out of the immediate or project area. . While the 5780 ADT projected are an incremental increase in the City traffic, the existing collector and through streets can handle these additional ADT without a significant impact. Mitigation Measures None are deemed necessary at this time. However, one potential for reduction of vehicle miles traveled is the growth of commercial and industrial establishments in the City. Much of this, especially 14 commercial , comes about automatically with residential growth. The City is also pursuing a policy of increasing the industrial base of the City. ACOUSTICS The City of Grand Terrace is fortunate in being basically a rather quiet city, with the only sources of appreciable noise being the railroad and the freeway. The railroad is far enough away from the projects that noise from it need not be considered. The Interstate 15 freeway is far enough from the projects, with the exception of Plot No. 6. Upon analysis of 6, it, too, is far enough removed (see U.S. G.S. Map, Figure 3) , approximately 250f feet from the northwest corner of the property to the centerline of the nearest freeway lane, so that there should be no significant impact of the freeway on the project. Mitigation Measures No major mitigation measures are proposed. A minor consideration would be the following: should some of the models proposed for Plot No. 6 be two story, none of the two-.story models should be sited along Canal Street. 15 AIR QUALITY Environmental Settinq Air quality in Grand Terrace frequently exceeds both the Federal and State standards. The South Coast Air Quality Management District shows the following 1976 summary for Riverside, the closest monitoring station to the proposed project. 1977, 1978, and 1979 are not expected to be significantly different. It is not within the scope of this report to install measuring devices on the proposed site. An exerpt from the summary is- printed below; the Summary is printed in its entirety as Appendix . g - Pollutant Max.Conc. 1/hr. Days Standards Exceeded in PPM/PPHM Federal State Carbon Monoxide 10 PPM 0/0 (8 hr. .> 9 PPM&/or. 0/0 (12 hr.? 10 PPM 1 hr. > 35 PPM) 1 hr. s 40 PPM) Oxidant (Ozone) 36 PPHM 187 (l .hr.> 8 PPHM) 176 (1 hr. } 10 PPHM) Nitrogen Dioxide 23 PPHM 0 (1 hr.

In the construction phase the particulates emitted will remain high, with some shift from dust particulates to other types of particulates. As the construction is finished and occupants begin their gardening and activities, particulate loading i will decrease substantially; however, gaseous pollutants, primarily CO, CO2, NOx, and water vapor will increase. The primary pollutants 16 of concern will be CO and NOx. Their primary emission will. be related to vehicular traffic. In order to assess the impact of vehicular traffic on air quality, the assumption is made for 578 units, using the traffic generation of 10 trips per day with an average trip distance of 25 miles. No. of Units 578 x Trips per Day 10 x Trip Distance '25 Total Miles per Day = 144,500 Using the California Division of Highway emission projections for CO (Appendix B) , with a vehicle -mix of 95 percent cars and 5 percent heavy duty vehicles using an average route speed of 22.6 m.p.h. , the total project emissions at completion in the general area would be: CO GENERATION IN AREA Year qm/mi Miles/Day kq CO Generated 1978 22. 0 144,500 3,179 1:980 1:4.5 2,095 1982 10.5 1 ,517 1984 7.0 1 ,012 1986 5.2 751 Nitric oxide and hydrocarbons will follow similar reductions over the years. The general impact of these emissions. would be considered a significant increase locally, however, the vehicle miles traveled will be spread over a large area. Mitigation Measures A mitigation measure to reduce the particulate emissions during the grading operation is sprinkling to reduce the amounts of dust generation into the ambient air. 17 The energy conversation measures recommended under Energy Conservation section of this report can also be considered a mitigation measure because of the reduced requirements for gas and electricity for hot water heating and home heating and cooling. This, in -turn, would decrease the emissions from natural gas and other related emissions. The applications of. Federal-State auto emission standards are substantially reducing, and with time, will further reduce emissions from vehicles. With most of the traffic being produced during the daylight hours when the westerlies are generally moving, the pollution from the project will mainly be dispersed east and southeast. The general build up of the area should be about balanced with the emission reductions for the newer vehicles. The switch to more fuel-efficient cars as a result of the 1-979 fuel crunch should favor reduced emissions per mile for the fuel-efficient cars. Development of public transportation in the area could also encourage the reduction of ADT and vehicle miles travelled, thus reducing auto emissions. 18 PUBLIC UTILITIES Environmental Setting TELEPHONE Plot 1 will be serviced by General Telephone Company, 292 Central City Mall , San Bernardino, California. The rest of the project areas will be serviced by Pacific Telephone Company, 171 West H Street, Colton, California.- ELECTRICITY The project areas will be serviced by Southern California Edison Company, 2885 West Foothill Boulevard, Rialto, California. NATURAL GAS The project areas will be serviced by Southern California Gas Company, 570 West Fourth Street, San Bernardino, California. Impact Assessment These utility companies now service the area, and there is no known significant impact on or by the project. Mitigation Measures Each developer must work with these utilities to obtain the necessary services to the residences. It is recommended each subdivision underground all utility lines to conform to modern standards. 19 COMMUNITY SERVICES The following community services were surveyed by telephone on 20 July 1979, because of the time frame for the filing of this draft EIR. There was not enough time to handle this through normal written requests for information. FIRE PROTECTION Environmental Settinq The California State Department of Forestry, San Bernardino County Service Area. 38 furnishes the fire protection services for the project area. Their fire station is in the City of Grand Terrace at 12167 Mt. Vernon Avenue. Impact Assessment l In a telecon with Station Captain Tom Andreas of the Department of Forestry, he advised that these 578 new units could be serviced from their station without any significant impacts. The City of Grand Terrace further advised that a study is in progress now to. determine if the fire insurance rating for the area can be reduced from 9 to 5, which would reduce the fire insurance rates for the area. This, of course, is indicative of .good fire protection services. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are deemed necessary. 20 POLICE PROTECTION Environmental Setting The .San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department furnishes the police protection service to the City of Grand Terrace from their central office and headquarters in San Bernardino. This is some 6 to 7 miles from Grand Terrace, but cars are kept on patrol in the Grand Terrace area. Impact Assessment In a telecon with Captain Schuyler, he advised their emergency response time should. average some 2 to 3 minutes, and that the completion of this project would not be a significant impact on their servicing capabilities. No mitigation measures are deemed necessary. SCHOOLS Environmental Setting The Colton Unified School District includes the City of Grand Terrace in their district boundaries. There are currently two elementary and one junior high school within the City limits of Grand Terrace. The high school is in neighboring Colton. Impact Assessment Normally, the standard used to determine the student generation from single family residences has been .84. per unit. However, per a telecon with Mr. R. L. Jacobsen of the Colton Unified School District on 20 July 1979, he advised that this figure has dropped to some 0.3 per unit in the area over the past several years (including new housing) . 21 If the figure of 0. 3 per unit is used, this times 578 units would give an expected increase in students of some 173. Mr. Jacobsen was not sure (over the telephone) if this project would be expected to have a significant impact upon them or not, as their total enrollment has been dropping. Mitigation Measures Mr. Jacobsen asked that we forward a map to him of the project, which we have done. We have also asked Mr. Jacobsen to respond to the Grand Terrace City Manager so that their findings can be considered in the final EIR. SEWAGE TREATMENT Environmental Settinq The sewage treatment plant .is under the jurisdiction of the City of Colton. The collection lines and main transmission line are under the control of the City of Grand Terrace. The treatment plant is actually operated by a private firm under contract to the City of Colton. There is presently litigation between the City of Grand Terrace and the City of Colton over the amount of raw sewage being treated by Colton for Grand Terrace. Impact Assessment In a telecon with Mr. Mike Itnyre of the treatment plant management firm on 20 July 1979, the following information was brought out: 22 Plant Design Capacity 5.4 million gpd Current Operating Level 3.8 to 4.0 million gpd The sewage expected to be generated from this completely residential project could be determined as follows: No. of residents per unit 3.5 x No. of units 578 x No. gpd of sewage per person 65 = project gpd of sewage 131 ,495 *This figure formerly was some 20 gpd higher because of the change in the size of the toilet tanks. These used to be about 6+ gallons, but by recent state law now .can be no more than 3.5 gallons. A further reduction by use of 3.5 gallon per minute flow shower heads which the City of Grand Terrace is requiring in new construction makes this figure of 65 on the conservative side. Mitigation Measures If part of the present litigation has to do' with another capital facility plant expansion to increase the capacity to meet the increased sewage from this project, the use of tax increment funds might be considered by the City of Grand Terrace. There is in effect now a sewage connection fee of $100.0.0 per unit which can also be utilized to offset capital facility requirements. WATER Environmental Setting , The water supply is furnished by the Riverside Highland Water Company, 23009 Washington Street, Colton, California (714) 825-4128. Mr. Millmore is the manager. - 23 Impact Assessment In a telecon with Mr. Millmore on 20 July 1979, the following was brought out: The Company has adequate water to supply the additional 578 units covered by the proposed redevelopment project. However, Plot No. 1 at the eastern edge of the City could cause a problem. This area is now serviced by a small storage tank just south by east of the plot (U. S.G.S. Map, Figure 3). It is doubtful if this storage tank is large enough to adequately- service the additional 125 units proposed for Plot No. 1 . Assuming 3. 5 people per residence and a water usage of 135 gallons per day per person, the 125 units in Plot No. 1 would require the following: 3.5 x 135 x 125 = 53,474 gpd Note - the 135 gpd/person is based on 70 gpd outside usage and 65 gpd inside usage per person. The 65 gpd inside usage takes into account the advent of the water conserving toilets whose tanks only hold 3.5 gallons instead of the older tanks which held 6 or more gallons.. Mitigation Measures It is suggested the City and/or the developer of Plot No. 1 contact the Water Company with the detailed tentative tract map so that the Water Company can study this to determine if a larger storage tank is required. 24 OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICES A brief review of other services indicated no significant impacts would be anticipated by or on the project. other than the following: The City of Grand Terrace does not have a City property tax. There- fore, they have instituted an assessment fee schedule on new residential units as follows: Streets $ 550.00 Storm Drains 250.00 Parks 375.00 $1 ,175.00 The City is confident this is adequate at this time to properly serve the community. Negotiations are also underway to obtain some 25 acres of the southeast corner of Plot No. 2 for a youth camp/park, as it is on the side of Blue Mountain and would be difficult to economically utilize for single family residences. 25 RECREATION This being a young City, less than one year old, there are few recreation or park facilities available at the present time. The City staff is working on this now with a potential direct outfall from this project of a youth camp/park of some 25 acres of the south- east corner of Plot No. 2. Additionally; the City will collect some $216,750.00 in assessments for park facilities from this project. Although not formally designated as a park, the school grounds could be considered to be recreation areas. Further, Southern California Edison has a park south of their plant which is utilized by the general public. No other mitigation measures are deemed necessary at this time. AESTHETICS The developments included in this project are all residential units that will be built in existing residential areas. House plans and elevations are not available at this time, but will be reviewed by the City later for conformance to specifications and requirements. Therefore, there should be no significant impacts aesthetically on the City or by the area on the developments. ' No mitigation measures are deemed necessary. 26 ECONOMICS The economics of the redevelopment project have been well documented by the City and Urban Futures - the City's planners and need not be included here. The City does not have a City property tax, but depends upon other taxes for their support. Therefore,- the increase in residents will increase their other tax bases such as sales taxes, which will have a beneficial impact upon the City. To overcome a lack of current facilities in some areas, the City has a unit assessment policy for capital improvements as follows: Per Unit Project Income Streets $ 550.00 $317,900.00 Storm Drains 250.00 144,500.00 Parks 375.00 216,750.00 $1175.00 $679,150.00 Additionally, the City has a $100.00 Sewer Connection fee that can •also be utilized for capital improvements for sewage collection and/or treatment. This would amount to some $57,800.00 from this project. Since there are no significant economic impacts, no mitigation measures are deemed necessary. J 27 -ENERGY CONSERVATION Environmental Settinq The area is one that by modern standards requires the use of space heating and cooling because of the arid climate - 141- days of 32' F. or below and 75f days of 90' F. and above. Impact Assessment A comprehensive analysis of energy requirements for SFR's was done about two years ago for the general area, with the finding that conventional construction would require a .monthly average of 462 KWH per unit and 70 therms per unit. This would project as follows for these units: 12 months x 462 KWH x 578 units .= 3.2 million KWH/year 12 months x 70 therms x 578 units = 485,500 therms/year Mitiqation Measures a. It is understood the City will require solar heating for the hot water, R-19 insulation in outer walls and ceilings, and double glazed glass. Also the units must be oriented so that a south-facing roof section will be available for installation of the solar panels. This program could reduce the above-projected energy requirements by up to amost 50 percent. It is also under- stood the City is working on an overall energy development plan that would be innovative in that energy would be generated on top of Blue Mountain via solar and wind power. Also, possibly some hydroelectric generation will be developed in conjunction with San Bernardino Municipal Valley Water District, 28 who has a major supply line crossing the City. Other areas are also being investigated. , b. The State has mandated that major appliances be of an energy conser- vation design, which will further reduce the energy requirements for gas and electricity. Only these types are available now in California. c. It is further suggested that when swimming pool/jacuzzi permits are issued, they should require the use of solar heating systems. d. Water conserving types of plumbing fixtures should be installed (low flow shower heads, taps, etc. ) . e. Utilize low wattage - usually fluorescent - built in fixtures for lighting in kitchens, etc. f. Any landscaping or planting that may be done .by the developers should be native species or species that require little water and maintenance. - i i 29 . Tr DISCUSSION UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE. IMPACTS OF THE PROJECT While there are no unusually significant impacts of the project, there are the normal unavoidable impacts usually associated with new residential development as follows: The existing altered vegetation and wildlife will be further disturbed but replaced with residentially-landscaped habitat, Demographically, some 2000 new residents will be added to the community. This, in turn, automatically increases the traffic, air pollution, possible impact on the schools, sewage to be treated, water required, and energy.consumption. MITIGATION MEASURES PROPOSED TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACTS Mitigation measures are covered in detail in the preceding section under each subject treated. Most of these are minor, as most of the impacts are normal , minor, or beyond the scope of this study. The mitigation measures of possible interest can be summarized as follows: Design criteria is spelled out to comply with the Uniform Building Code to preclude major damage from potential seismic tremors. Sprinkling during grading operations should be required to reduce dust particulates in the air. Sewage treatment capacity by the City- of Colton for the City of Grand Terrace should be resolved with_ the future requirements of this 30 project being part of the considerations , if necessary. The Water Company should be supplied the tract map by Plot No. 1 developer to analyze the capability of the storage tank to serve this project (Plot No. 1 ) . The City of Grand Terrace has an assessment fee and hook-up schedule for new residences to offset the impacts on streets, storm drains, parks, and sewage. They may also need to consider the use of tax increment funds for additional sewage capacity in the treatment plant. Energy conservation measures being required by the City will almost cut in half normal energy requirements of residences . ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION The principal alternative to the proposed project would be one of no project. No project would cause the long term cost of the housing to be increased by an increase in mortgage interest rates which would further limit the buyers of single family residences in the area. The lower monthly payments resulting from this proposed project will tend to enhance the stability of the area. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SHORT-TERM USES AND LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY The short-term use of these lands for residences will not detract from any other long-term productivity. 31 t . IRREVERSIBLE AND IRRETRIEVABLE COMMITMENT OF RESOURCES The commitment of the land to residential use. is not irreversible nor irretrievable, since housing is a short-term usage. Commitment of natural resources to build the residences is considered to be irreversible and irretrievable, along with the energy requirements. THE GROWTH-INDUCING IMPACTS This being a residential project, it is obviously growth-inducing to the immediate area. Some additional commercial will be needed to service the 2000f- new residents and all of the utilities and community services will need to expand to the extent necessary to service the proposed project. 32 PERSONS, ORGANIZATIONS, AND DOCUMENTS CONSULTED Mr. Seth Armstead, City Manager, and Mr. Edward Clark, Finance Officer, City of Grand Terrace, CA.

Drover, Pb-D. Management Summary An archaeological survey and records check were undertaken on 21-23 July, 1979 for approximately 225 acres in Grand Terrace, Calif- ornia, to ascertain whether any cultural resources might be impacted by some 7 subdivisions. A surface survey was conducted on the project sites and a check of the San Bernardino County Museum archaeological records was requested. Significant areas of the parcels were obscured by a dense growth of field mustard (Brassica campestris), grasses (Graminae) ; Orange groves, and grading. No archaeological sites or materials were observed during the survey that would require mitigation. Considering the location of much of this parcel , the lack of archaeological materials may not be surprising. Further mitigation procedures are not indicated at this time. The stipulation should exist that any archaeological materials observed during grading or brushing be evaluated by a professional archaeologist prior to futher disruption. INTRODUCTION The proposed redevelopment in question consists of seven separate parcels spread throughout the city of Grand Terrace, California. Grand Terrace is located north of Riverside. California, between the Riverside - Freeway and Blue Mountain. The parcels involved in this project are located in Section 3, 4, 5, 32, 33, and 34 of the San Bernardino south 7,5' Quadrangle. A-2 Although no archaeological material was observed, on the property, bedrock milling features do exist both on Bbx Springs and Blue Mountains. An archaeological records check was requested from the San Bernardino County Museum. While it is not available for this report, 'the records check will be summarily attached to a later draft. SUMMARY OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE Perhaps the most pertinent regional study of the general area regarding its prehistoric land use is that accomplished by the University of California, Riverside, for the State Department of Parks and Recreation on Perris Reservoir (Wilke 1971 ). This research took place about ten miles south of this property in the San Jacinto Valley proper. Most of the archaeological sites described were late (pottery present) and may have resulted from the desiccation of Lake Cahuilla (ancestral Salton Sea) (Wilke 1971 :161 ; 1978:14). Settlement patterns seem to consist of campsites (located near perennial water sources) and temporary, exploitation (processing) locations (1971 :157; cf. O'Connell , et al 1974) .. Considering the lack of perennial water, -oak woodlands, and good soil conditions on the project area, site density may be expected to be light, like areas of the Perris Reservoir away from perennial water. Based on a settlement/subsistence model. generated by O'Connell , et al (1974) , permanent (habitation) camps would probably not be located on this project area, while temporary exploitation (processing) locations could be. Through time, land use patterns changed from being rather sporadic between 2200 years ago (the earliest occupations) to about 1500 A.D. , when a somewhat more settled village life resulted from an influx of population (O' Connell , et al , 1974) . At European contact times, the study- area was occupied by the northernmost aspect of a group known as Lui:seno, named after the Mission San Luis A-3 Rey de Francia in Oceanside, California, built to administer to them. The Luiseno culture area incorporated southern Riverside County, northern San Diego County, and eastern Orange County, and was linguistically comprised of a dialect of the Shoshonean Language Family (Kroeber, 1925:Plate 57) . Ethnographic literature pertinent to the Luiseno and surrounding ethnographic groups is fairly extensive and has been collected since 1900 (Kroeber 1925; Sparkman 1929; Bean 1972; White 1963, and Barrows 1900). Effective Environment The physiography of the planning units consists mainly of the northwestern hillsides and alluvial fans of the- Blue Mountains to the southwest, resulting in decomposed granitic soils to a depth of '2-10 feet overlying bedrock granite. Drainage on the parcel. is mainly east to west, creating arroyos which are active only during times of local rainfall . Precipitation is mainly winter dominant, frontal storms from the northwest, although occasionally summer thundershowers result from damp air from the southern (Gulf of Mexico-Sea of Cortez) monsoon season. Several active springs exist year-round on Parcel 1 . The parcels range from 1000 to 1700 feet above sea level . Although very little native flora remains on the parcels, probably due to discing or brush control , Parcel 1 retains evidence of a coastal sage scrub plant community. Field mustard (Brassi-ca campestris) and European grasses (Gramineae) dominate most of the parcels. Research Methods and Strategy Field techniques consisted of an on-si.te intuitive survey, conducted by myself on 21 July 1979. Observations were difficult due to significant impacts such as .grading and orange groves.. For this reason, inspection focused on areas of a near-natural state. A-4 Originally, it was intended that archaeological sites, if found, would be recorded with the San Bernardino County Vuseum, then compared with previously-recorded sites in the vicinity (including the Perris Reservoir project) to better establish an understanding of settlement patterns. It would seem that problems concerning settlement patterns could best be advanced through, the requirements of cultural resource inventories, a form 'of non-destructive archaeology. No evidence was recovered suggesting prehistoric occupation or utilization requiring mitigation. While portions of the property may have been intermittently used, aboriginally, as gathering or hunting areas, no findings confirm more substantial use. _I A-5 REFERENCES CITED Barrows, D.
