WHEREAS,all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this,Resolution have occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Grand
Terrace:
1. Pursuant to Chapter 18. 63 of the Municipal Code, the City Council has reviewed and
approves Site and Architectural Review 07-12 consisting of the TSMDP, Master Sign
Program 09-01 for the TSMDP, Site and Architectural Review 07-07, which includes site
and architectural plans for Development Unit 1 of the TSMDP consisting of 65,737 square
feet of building area on 7.67 acres, associated parking, landscaping, and lighting and
establishment of a Sign Program for Development Unit 1, as follows:
a. The TSMDP and Development Unit 1 are consistent with the intent of the Grand
Terrace Municipal Code, Grand Terrace General Plan ("General Plan"), and the
Barton Road Specific Plan ("BRSP"). The site is designated in the General Plan as
General Commercial ("GC") and as BRSP-GC in the BRSP. The General Plan
states that the General Commercial designation provides for general commercial
uses to serve the retail and service needs of the community. The proposed TSMDP
is a neighborhood commercial center and its anticipated land uses (grocery market,
retail, fast food) are consistent with the General Commercial Land Use designation.
SA 07-07, which implements Development Unit 1 is consistent with the GC
designation because it proposes approximately 65,737 square feet of retail and
commercial uses including a full service grocery store (Stater Bros.), food service,
retail and commercial uses.
The Project complies with Land Use Element goals and polices to provide a wide
range of retail, service commercial, and employment opportunities; continued
development of established commercial areas, and the incorporation of increased
setbacks, walls and landscaping between commercial projects and other areas to
reduce potential land use incompatibility. It is consistent with the Circulation
Element requiring preparation of a traffic analysis prepared in accordance with
SANBAG Congestion Management Program (CMP) Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
Guidelines and requiring that peak hour level of service "D" be maintained, and
with policies because sufficient off street parking, bicycle racks and trellised
pedestrian walkways will be provided. The Project complies with the Open Space
and Conservation Element because mitigation measures have been incorporated
requiring conservation of energy resources in building design of Development Unit
1, and the Project will be required to meet federal, state and local regulations
governing grading, erosion control, water quality, and cultural resources. It
complies,with Noise Element goals, policies and actions calling for adherence to
the Noise Ordinance during construction activities, and preparation of a noise study
during the CEQA process to determine potential impacts that could be generated by
— the Project. Public services are being provided as required by the Public Services
Page 3 of 11
r Element, and the Project meets several goals polices and actions contained in the
Sustainable Development Element calling for energy conservation, recycling,
bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
b. The Project site is zoned BSRP=General Commercial. The BSRP-General
Commercial zoning designation is intended to provide a wide variety of uses that
typically include supermarkets, drug stores, variety stores, apparel shops, appliance
and furniture stores, restaurants and commercial recreation uses. The TSMDP` has
been prepared in conformance with the BRSP which requires the preparation of a
master plan. TSMDP master plans approximately 21 acres and at build out would
allow for development of up to 209,611 square feet of building area over five
Development Units that correspond to five development phases: The TSMDP is
consistent with the intended and permitted uses and development standards of the
BRSP-General Commercial zone district.
C. In accordance with the provisions of the BRSP, the TSMDP also includes
development incentives, which the Planning Commission granted on July 15, 2010,
based on the merits of the project. Project merits that. warrant development
incentives include lot consolidation, reduced access points, reciprocal access
agreements, reciprocal parking agreements, and provision of public or semi-public
open space. The Project includes all of these features and therefore, is allowed
development incentives. Within Development Unit 1, SA 07-07 is granted
development incentives to allow light standards for the Stater Bros. market parking
( fields to be constructed at a height of thirty (35) feet, and to allow Driveway No. 1
to have a driveway queuing depth of twenty feet.
d. The TSMDP is approved through Master SA 07-12 and will develop in phases as
set forth in the TSMDP and related phasing plan. Each of the five development
units will be subject to Site and Architectural Review for consistency with the
TSMDP and Chapter 18.63 of the Municipal Code.
e. The location and configuration of all structures associated with the Project are
visually harmonious with the Property, the BRSP, and surrounding properties and
structures, and do not interfere with the privacy of neighbors or 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 TSMDP` contains site and
architectural standards, such as architectural compatibility internal to the shopping
center, landscaping requirements, and building setback to ensure a visually
harmonious Project. Further, within Development Unit 1, Major A Tenant (Stater
Bros.) and Shops 1 are located between 37 to 86 feet from the south property line,
which is greater than the minimum required setback of 10 feet providing greater
separation between the Project and residential uses.. Additionally, a solid wall
measuring 6 feet on the outside with enhanced landscaping will be installed to
provide greater buffering between the commercial and residential uses. The
proposed buildings are consistent with the height limitations of the BRSP, with the
exception of the front tower treatments on the Major Tenant building, which
exceeds the BRSP requirement by 5 feet. Because the tower treatment is at the
Page 4 of 11
front of the building, it is not likely to impact residential uses to the rear. Retail 1 is
F' located 10 feet from the property line of an existing residence to the east of
Development Unit 1, which is in conformance with required setbacks.
f. The architectural design of the 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
and BRSP. The TSMDP establishes a uniformed architectural theme for the master
plan area. The The use of stucco is permissible when surfaces are articulated to
provide visual interest. The BRSP encourages building architecture with rich
surfaces and/or textures, that articulates with the use of insets, trellises, and
articulation of wall planes. The structures are proposed to have a stucco finish with
the incorporation of a ledger stone, variation in building wall planes, the use of
trellises, and insets. The building colors and materials are consistent with the
BRSP. The buildings proposed in Development Unit 1 (SA 07-07) have been
designed in conformance with the architectural theme established for the TSMDP.
g. The TSMDP plans for landscaping and open spaces provides a functional and
visually pleasing setting for the structures on this site and is harmonious with the
natural landscape of the area and nearby developments. In accordance with the
Municipal Code, BRSP and TSMDP the site design for- Development Unit 1
incorporates perimeter and parking lot landscaping. Enhanced landscaping is
provided along the south boundary adjacent to residential uses. Proposed
to: landscaping for Development Unit 1 exceeds the minimum coverage required by
the BRSP. Landscaping provided will be visually pleasing, functional and in
keeping with adjacent developments.
h. There will be no indiscriminate clearing of property, destruction of trees or natural
vegetation, or excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides in connection with the
development of the Project; thus the natural beauty of the City, the Project setting
and natural landforms are preserved. Grading is limited to that necessary,to
establish building pads and meet accessibility requirements.
i. The design and location of all signs associated with this project are consistent with
the scale and character of the buildings to which they are attached or otherwise
associated with and are consistent with the provisions of the BRSP and the City's
Municipal Code. The Master Sign Program sign program has been prepared in
accordance with the BRSP, to ensure consistency and aesthetic cohesiveness of
signage throughout the TSMDP and each Development Unit (Phase) of Project
development. The signage for the Project is consistent .with the Master Sign
Program.
j. Conditions of approval for this Project necessary to secure the purposes of the
BRSP and the Municipal Code have been applied to the Project.
Page 5 of 11
k. In accordance with the BRSP, the Project qualifies for development incentives
because the merits of the Project include lot consolidation, reduced access points,
reciprocal access agreements, reciprocal parking agreements, provision of public or
semi-public open space, enhanced parking lot landscaping and a cohesive
architectural theme. Therefore the Bonus Incentive Points Program contained in
Exhibit 3, attached hereto, is adopted.
2. The City Council approves Master Sign Program 09-01 and Sign Program-Development
Unit 1, subject to the requirement that the sign area of the proposed Freeway Sign is
reduced from six hundred and forty (640) square feet to a total not to exceed four hundred
and ninety seven (497) square feet in sign area and based on the following findings:
a. The Master Sign Program exceeds the maximum requirements of the BRSP in
terms of number of freestanding signs, number of wall signs, and sign area.
However, pursuant to the provisions of the BRSP, the Planning Commission has
the authority to allow deviations from the sign ordinance to approve creative and
innovative sign programs or sign solutions under exceptional or unusual
circumstances, which the Planning Commission granted on July 15, 2010. As such,
the Master Sign Program provides a uniform, integrated design within the TSMDP
that complements the architectural theme established by the TSMDP.
b. The Master Sign Program achieves the goals and objectives of the BRSP, and
provides a creative and innovative sign program that achieves a cohesive design
{� and tenant identification for a major commercial center.
C. When considered in light of the comprehensive scale and integrated architectural
design of the commercial center provided by buildout of the TSMDP, the Master
Sign Program and Sign Program — Development Unit 1 represent a creative and
innovative design which consolidates tenant recognition on a scale designed to
inform the motoring public and achieve immediate recognition of the businesses
within the commercial center.
