The Community Development Director presented the staff report with
conditions and recommendations of approval from the City Engineer,
reviewing agencies and the planning department.
The Community Development Director clarified that at the Planning
Commission Meeting of June 5, 1989, it was the intention to open up the

this item.
Discussion of testing trial period for this item from June 6, 1989 to July 5,
1989.
The Community Development Director read into the record a letter from

21516 Main Avenue
Grand Terrace, CA.
Mr. Sheline stated that they appreciated the last 30 day testing period for
0 the earlier hours of 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Initially, they hoped to load 2-
2
X
3 trucks per day during the 30 day testing period however that turned out
to be impossible. During the testing period 2 trucks were loaded, 4-5 days,
during that period. On the average they loaded one truck earlier than the
7:00 a.m. loading period that they had been granted initially.
Chairman Hargrave asked if any of the local residents had voiced their
opinions directly to the facility.
Mr. Sheline replied to the negative.
Discussion on the feasible deadlines for the earlier loading period; i.e.,
through the summer to September 1, 1989.
Discussion on the testing period and if it aided the facility in getting the
customer trucks out earlier.
Mr. Sheline explained that the reasoning behind this operation was to assist
the customers that needed earlier loading time due to codes, stocking
conditions in certain cities. He stated that it has helped their facility by
allowing an additional time frame.
Discussion on the effect of one complaint, Mr. Garza, and its effect on the
operation of the facility.
Mr. Sheline stated that they had given the residents due consideration thus
the reason for appearing before the Planning Commission. He referred to
other businesses in the area that are in operation around 5:30 a.m.
Discussion on other businesses in the area that may be operating prior to
5:30 a.m. The Community Development Director explained that he is
unaware of any as such. The Community Development Director explained
that the reason this facility had to come before the Planning Commission
was due to the conditions dealing with hours of operation placed in the
original Conditional Use Permit.
Discussion of the Noise Ordinance which goes into effect at 7:00 a.m. The
Community Development Director clarified that businesses are not restricted
in operation at that time but the decibles of noise are regulated by the
Noise Ordinance.
Discussion on the total truckloads which average around 11 per day.
Commissioner Buchanan asked the applicant for their average starting time
of operation during the testing period.
Mr. Sheline explained that it has been around 6:00 to 6:30 a.m.
3
Commissioner Buchanan asked the applicant if they could operate effectively
with a starting time of 6:00 a.m.
Mr. Sheline responded to the affirmative.
Discussion on the earlier 5:00 a.m. staring time and the increase, if any, on
the total truckloads per day.
Mr. Sheline explained that the Conditional Use Permit revision request was
based on certain stocking situations they have encountered.
Discussion on the trucks that enter the facility and their status. Mr. Sheline
explained that the trucks are required to shut down when parked on the
facility.
Commissioner Buchanan asked the applicant if he would have any objection
to having it listed as a condition to the hours of operation.
Mr. Sheline responded that the would be willing to comply.
Chairman Hargrave opened the Public Hearing for this item.
PUBLIC HEARING CONVENED AT 7:20 P.M.
Mr. Ornelas
16 Highland Avenue
Highland, CA.
Mr. Ornelas stated that he was in opposition to the request for earlier hours
of operation. He explained the truck route and the loud noise of the
shifting by the trucks. He stated that he did not agree with the applicant
and has heard the trucks loading at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. He asked
who he should contact for Code Enforcement of any violations. He stated
that the landscaping is in need of repair.
Chairman Hargrave advised Mr. Ornelas of the Code Enforcement process
for violations of the Noise Ordinance.
Mr. Sheline pointed out that the actual weight of the trucks are maximum
49,000 lbs. He explained that it is their safety policy not to allow the trucks
to be running while being loaded in the loading area. However, if the
trucks are waiting to enter the yard they are allowed to keep the trucks
running.
PUBLIC HEARING ADJOURNED AT 7:25 P.M.

MOTION
VOTE
PCM-89-72
Commissioner Buchanan made the motion to revise CUP-88-14R1 to allow
Domtar Gypsum to begin hours of operation from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
until September 1, 1989 at which time the hours will return from 7:00 a.m.
to 6:00 p.m. as in the original Conditional Use Permit. Trucks shall not be
permitted to idle while loading. Commissioner Sims second.
Chairman Hargrave asked if their was some mechanism in the Conditional
Use Permit for revision due to complaints.
The Community Development Director explained that it was discussed if
there were any complaints during the review period then staff would come
back to the Planning Commission at the June 19, 1989 meeting.
Discussion on the policy of not allowing the trucks to idle while on the
facility's loading area.
Commissioner Hawkinson asked the applicant if the trucks would be on his
property while idling or waiting to enter the facility on Main Street.
Mr. Sheline explained that the gate would be open and they would proceed
onto the property.
Commissioner Hawkinson asked if the applicant wished to change this
temporary revision for summer hours into permanency status would they
have to file for a Conditional Use Permit.
The Community Development Director explained that they would have to
come back again in the summer of next year. This gives the Planning
Commission more control on a summer by summer basis.
Discussion of the Noise Ordinance and the control available with that code
Motion carried. 4-2-1-0. Commissioners Hilkey, Hargrave, Buchanan and
Sims voted aye. Commissioners Hawkinson and Munson voted noe.
5
Commissioner Gelder absent.
The Community Development Director backtracked and responded to Mr.
Ornelas' comments that the landscaping in front of the businesses on 21516
Main Street have deteriorated. Staff has received an application from
Central City Recycling to place a concrete slab in the front along with
tenant improvements. Staff has indicated to Domtar Gypsum, American
Modular and Central City Recycling along with the owner of the property
that no more applications for tenant improvements will be accepted until
landscaping has been brought back up to the condition that was necessary
for the approval of the Conditional Use Permit.
Chairman Hargrave asked if the maintenance of the landscaping wasn't a
part of the conditions of approval. If the Conditional Use Permit is violated
than that gives the Planning Department opportunity to request that the
Conditional Use Permit be changed or revoked.
The Community Development Director explained that if staff does not
receive a satisfactory response to the letters dealing with improvement of
the landscaping then the next step would be a CUP revokation hearing.

Item #3
SA-89-02
Terrace Gateway
(Commercial, Restaurant, and Auto Retail Center)
Gary Clark
12028 La Crosse Avenue
Grand Terrace
The Community Development Director presented the staff report with
conditions and recommendations of approval by the City Engineer, reviewing
agencies and the Planning Department. A Traffic Study compiled by JF
Engineering was also presented.
The Community Development Director read the conditions and it was noted
that the numbering of conditions #5 and # 10 were incorrect.
Chairman Hargrave asked the City Engineer for interpretation of his memo
stating recommendations.
The City Engineer presented his recommendations. He also stated that the
additional right of way may be necessary to provide for the following. The
CI
total roadway with curb separation of 48' not 42' as referred to in 1A of
the recommendations. Item C will be amended in accordance with the
Traffic Engineer's recommendation. Also #5, should be corrected to read
...install paving as may be required from lip of gutter to lip of gutter."
The drainage will have to brought out to La Crosse Avenue. He did not
believe that the drainage would effect any surrounding properties.
Discussion on the Traffic Study by J.F. Davidson and whether it was
completed prior to or after the Keeney's Commercial Center at La Crosse.
The City Engineer explained that this Traffic Study was done after the
Keeney study was completed.
Discussion on the desired traffic level service of C.
The City Engineer explained that the off ramp freeway traffic will have the
major impact to the level of operation to that particular facility. He stated
that the Traffic Engineer's report recommended providing an additional lane
in order to have that facility at level D.
Chairman Hargrave asked the City Engineer for comments regarding the
ingress or egress off of La Crosse Avenue.
The City Engineer stated that the recommendation for standard street type
intersection was excellent for this type of project. He stated that there
would be a left turn pocket on the northerly entrance. He clarified that
there would be egress into the property from the southerly direction off the
freeway and there would also be a left turn pocket going north on La
Crosse Ave. As far as coming out of the project that should only be a
right turn only for the middle driveway.
Discussion on the plans which reflected an egress/ingress path.
The City Engineer stated that he would have to look at the final plans but
he did not feel it would be a difficulty making a left turn onto La Crosse
and going northerly. There would be no problem with 48' curb to curb to
make a left turn into the project going north up La Crosse Avenue,
referring to the middle driveway next to the restaurant.
Discussion on the signalization on Barton and La Crosse Avenue. The City
Engineer stated that based on the studies he has seen the signal could
handle the additional traffic.
Chairman Hargrave asked if the signalization was going to be upgraded.
The City Engineer responded stating that the signalization was not going to
be upgraded. He stated that after the completion of Keeney's Terrace
Village, west of this project, there would be additional striping.
7
Commissioner Sims asked if an exit speed sign off the freeway was
necessary.
The City Engineer referred to Cal Trans for their input. He felt that there
was adequate sight distance off the driveways.
Staff did contact Cal Trans and they were not receptive to the idea of
additional signage but would consider it if pursued.
Discussion on the neccesity, if any, of additional sidewalk in front of the
project as referred to in the City Engineer's Memo as item #3.
Discussion of the destination of the pedestrian traffic on the proposed
sidewalk and traffic hazards.
Discussion on the provision for a median island for a left turn on the egress
and ingress entrance (middle driveway).
Discussion on the standard commercial driveway approaches of 36'. The
Planning Commission discussed the difficulty in entering the driveway
entrance off of Mt. Vernon at the Denny's and Carl's Restaurants site at
Cooley Ranch.
Discussion on the difficulty semi -truck traffic would have in negotiating the
northern driveway.
Chairman Hargrave referred to the Colton Unified School District's request
to mitigate the traffic and noise level.
Discussion on the feasibility of needing additional compaction tests on
existing dirt work.
The City Engineer stated that a preliminary soils report would be required
prior to issuing permits.
Discussion on the traffic study allowances for this project.
Discussion on the upcoming Barton Road Specific Plan and its impact on
this project. The City Engineer stated that the traffic compacity will be
determined by the width of the Barton Road overpass.
Discussion on the traffic patterns and lanes along La Crosse Avenue.
Feasibility of adding a right turn lane for the Barton Road offramp to turn
into the main entrance.
The City Engineer stated that was addressed in an earlier traffic study but
the Traffic Engineer's recommendation was to have two southbound lanes
from La Crosse, Barton Road south, come together just prior to the triangle
off of Barton Road. At that point one additional lane would provide for
traffic moving west on Barton Road and the other two would continue on
south of Barton Road.
Discussion on architectural design for Barton Road. The Community
Development Director stated that at this time nothing has been proposed.
He explained that the project next door, Terrace Village, and this project,
Terrace Gateway, are different but compliment one another.
Discussion on the right hand lane of La Crosse which can continue westerly
on Barton Road. Commissioner Hilkey asked what happens with the traffic
flow when it goes from the transition of this project to the next project.
Chairman Hargrave stated that the entrance to the Keeney Project (Terrace
Village) on Barton Road is a northwestern entrance.
The Community Development Director explained that the traffic from La
Crosse Avenue has to make a stop before going west onto Barton Road.
Discussion on traffic impact study between the two projects.
The Community Development Director stated that he would be more
comfortable with the City Engineer addressing this issue.
Discussion of C-2 Zones with allowable and unpermitted uses.
Chairman Hargrave stated that he supported blocking the view of the gas
station bays with frontage architectural relief including monument signage.
Mr. Gary Clark
Terrace Gateway
Mr. Clark stated that his family has been long time residents of the City of
Grand Terrace. He provided a history scenario of their property and
proposed project. He referred to a similar center in San Diego and its
architectural enhancement to the surrounding area. He felt that their
project would be in compatibility with the Keeney Project (Terrace Village)
by the similarity of color tones.
Discussion on the feasibility of a wall relief to hide the gas station bays.
The applicant explained that the intention of that particular site was to
make a convenience store/gas station facility. There will be no internal
work done on vehicles. They expect to see approximately four (4) pumps.
0
Mr. Clark referred to the site in San Diego that contains a 3 foot brick wall
containing a monumental sign.
Discussion on the convenience store slotted for Keeney's Project (Terrace
Village) in comparison to this project's convenience store/gas station facility.
Discussion on the main entrance, middle driveway, which could be used by
the truck traffic. He was in agreement to have an additional 5 or 6 feet
for the entrance to accomodate the truck traffic.
Discussion on the loading and service access area which is part of Building
A. Building A will be an upscale automobile service center which will
contain auto retail stores. The loading and service access area behind
Building A will be for tenants only to be used for deliveries of supplies.
Mr. Clark stated that they are looking into lessening the access area to
widen the driveway in anticipation of prospective tenant/ Winston Tires.
Discussion on the need for sidewalks in front of the project. Mr. Clark
stated that be really did not see a need for it and he would be in favor of
replacing it with a wider green belt.
Discussion on landscaping for the front portion of the project. Alternatives
for bushes would be to use more grass.
Discussion on proposed signage to advertise location of project. Mr. Clark
suggested a standard freeway sign along a block wall. He also stated that
the property to the north of them has large eucalyptus trees which block
off view of their project. He stated that the trees are on Cal Trans
property and he intends to contact them to request they trim their trees.
Commissioner Buchanan stated that he shared the Chairman's concern with
the visual impact of the gas station bays. He suggested that the design of
the convenience store and other tenants be submitted for Site and
Architectural Review as well.
Mr. Clark stated that he would have no objection to that request.
Discussion on examples of other centers with gas stations that have been
camoflauged.
Chairman Hargrave called for a ten minute break.
BREAK AT 8:50 P.M.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING RECONVENED AT 9:00 P.M.
Mr. Lewis
Senior Traffic Engineer
J.F. Davidson
Mr. Lewis explained that the traffic study was completed as a worse case
scenario. It was based on site plan and uses. They calculated levels C and
D using ICU Methodology and also used the 1985 Highway Capacity of the
Intersection Capacity Manual.
Discussion on the Planning Commission's concern with the ability for the
transition between the Barton offramp and La Crosse. If the main entrance
to the project was adequate to handle both the through southbound traffic
and turning traffic.
Mr. Lewis stated that they shared similar concerns and felt that the area
would need additional signage. Mr. Lewis explained the present traffic
pattern on La Crosse onto Barton Road, going south.
Commissioner Buchanan referred to the City Engineer's memo referring to
1A, with a 42' curb separation which should be changed to 48' according
to the traffic study.
Mr. Lewis explained that the traffic study itself did not recommend any
specific width but rather the number of lanes. He believed that there has
been discussion between the developer and the City Engineer's Office on
the width to provide for the number of lanes according to City guidelines.
The Community Development Director clarified that the City Engineer had
indicated that he intended that to be changed to 48'.
Discussion on 80' centerline and lip to lip on both sides of the roadway.
Discussion on the standard driveway approaches on the northern and
southern entrances and street intersection designed for the center entrance.
Mr. Lewis explained that by putting a standard intersection type of a design
at the center entrance then the amount of slowdown by the traffic to enter
the project would be greatly reduced. In response to an earlier concern,
truck radius can be designed for that driveway. Also, they can determine
whether or not the radius would have to be improved to allow the trucks
to make that turn.
Commissioner Hilkey asked if 36' was adequate for that intersection. Also,
any blockage caused by traffic waiting to turn left onto La Crosse Avenue.
11
Mr. Lewis replied that 36' was adequate but they would want to look at the
truck turn radius, particularly for the southbound.
Commissioner Hilkey asked if they should consider preventing and left
turning onto La Crosse.
Mr. Lewis stated with that type of intersection design it probably is not
necessary to put that type of restriction from two view points. First, he
suspected that would be a small percentage of traffic from nearby residents.
Secondly, with an intersection type design the traffic will be able to exit at
a fairly decent acceleration as opposed to down a ramp through a gutter
and then onto the roadway.
Discussion on the service trucks entry into the northerly entrance and rear
entrance.
Discussion on widening the main entrance access.
PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION CONVENED AT 9:30 P.M
The Community Development Director explained that it had been pointed
out to him that the Negative Declaration's Initial Study need a correction.
One of the checkoff questions had not been answered regarding light and
glare. The answer should be a "YES" and therefore the attachment to the
Initial Study, Section III, should have an additional wording that reads "...
no potential adverse impact from additional light and glare upon adjacent
property shall be mitigated through the City's light standards."
Discussion on the condition for installing sidewalks and the effect, if any,
upon removing that condition.
The Community Development Director explained that the City Engineer had
indicated that legally that was a requirement through the General Plan but
what could be done would be to make a recommendation to the City
Council. It can be pointed out that the Planning Commission is
recommending to the City Council that this condition be removed and allow
this project to go forward as approved.
Discussion on the sidewalks in front of surrounding properties and extension
of the sidewalks from the northside to the first entrance. The remaining
area covered by a greenbelt landscaping. Commissioner Munson expressed
his support for sidewalks for pedestrian traffic and skateboard enthusiasts.
Discussion regarding Clark Enterprises placing their businesses into the
complex.

Discussion between the Planning Commission whether or not sidewalks were
necessary all the way in front of the project.
Mr. Clark pointed out from a marketing standpoint they were not in favor
of having a sidewalk in front of the restaurant.
Chairman Hargrave suggested amending his motion to place sidewalks along
the northern bend.
Commissioner Munson stated that he would settle for that but suggested
seeing a green area in the middle section.
Commissioner Sims suggested leaving the area as open landscape for a
possible monument sign for view by the traffic coming off the freeway. He
stated for the residents to go around the bend and go south into the first
driveway entrance would not make any sense.
The Community Development Director suggested placing the sidewalk at the
northern end, bring it up to the restaurant pad and leave it open from the
center driveway down to the first driveway.
