dment is consistent with the latest adopted
general plan,
because the proposed amendments conform and promote the Grand Terrace General Plan.
4. Based upon the above findings and determinations, this Planning Commission
hereby recommends that the City Council find the Project exempt from CEQA.
5. The Planning Commission hereby further recommends that the City Council adopt Zoning Code
Amendment
WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have
occurred.
NOW THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this
reference.
2. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board hereby finds that the
Project is categorically exempt; pursuant to Section 15332, from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Notice of Exemption prepared in
connection with the Project has been reviewed and considered and reflects the
independent judgment of the Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board
and is hereby adopted.
3. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board hereby finds as follows
with respect to Variance 19-01:
a. A special circumstance regarding the size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings of the subject property exists. There are special circumstances
regarding surroundings and topography. The site is restricted by its size and its
trapezoid shape; therefore, the Applicant has applied for a Variance to deviate from
the twenty-foot front landscape set back requirement and the reduction of one
parking space. The drive-thru lane will wrap around the west at Vivienda Avenue
and south at Barton Road, this ultimate location provides the best car staking for the
proposed drive-thru services. The Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial
BRSP,GC) zoning requires a twenty-foot landscaped front setback. The Project is
proposing thirty-three-foot front setback, which is more than the requirement;
however, the drive-thru lane will occupy twelve-feet of the required landscaped area.
From the front property line at Barton Road, the project is proposing seven-foot and
two-inches of landscape area, followed by a twelve-foot width of drive-thru lane, and
fourteen-foot and six-inches of additional landscape area. Both landscaped areas
between the drive-thru lane will total twenty-one-feet and eight-inches and the
applicant is proposing to enhance the landscape on these areas. In addition, the
Project is proposing the reduction of one parking space. Per Chapter 18.60.050 Off-
Street Parking requirements, a minor relaxation to the parking requirement may be
granted, if the adjustment is minor in nature and will not create a negative impact on
existing or potential uses adjacent to or in the vicinity of the project. The Project
requires 26 parking spaces, one parking space reduction represents 4% of the
parking requirement. The Municipal Code allows Minor Deviations which permits the
reduction of 20% off the requirement; therefore, one parking space reduction (4%) is
approvable. Overall, the proposed location of the drive-thru lane is the best design
solution based on the lot size, the shape, the proposed location of the parking, and
the access; therefore, special circumstances exist to support the variance.
b. Because of the special circumstance, the strict application of the zoning ordinance
deprives the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity
and under identical zoning classification. The size and shape of the site poses a
special circumstance that restricts the design location of the drive-thru lane and
therefore reducing the front setback landscape requirement and reducing the parking
requirement by one parking space. The proposed lot is bound by its size and
location, which is located under the same zoning classification as surrounded uses
along Barton Road. The Project is proposing 33-foot front setback, which exceeds
the 20-foot front setback requirement; however, the BRSP, GC zoning requires the
entire 20-foot front setback to be landscaped. The drive-thru lane is reducing the
landscape area but not the overall front setback requirement. Existing drive-thru
restaurants under the same zoning classification have encounter the same front
setback landscape reduction to accommodate the drive thru lanes; therefore, the
circumstance is similar to other existing drive-thru restaurants under the same zoning
classification. In addition, one parking space reduction is allowable per Municipal
Code Minor Deviation Standards; therefore, this finding can be met.
c. The granting of the variance will not constitute the grant of special privileges
inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district in
which the property is situated. The granting of the Variance for the required twenty-
foot front landscape setback will not constitute the grant of special privileges,
because existing fast food restaurants along Barton Road have encounter the same
circumstance to accommodate the drive-thru lanes within the front landscape
setback requirement. The one parking space reduction is permissible within the
Municipal Code, Minor Deviation standards; therefore, the reduction of one parking
space does not constitute the grant of special privileges either.
d. The granting of the variance will not authorize a use or activity which is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the district governing the parcel of property. The reduction
of twenty-foot landscape front setback and the reduction of one parking space will
not authorize a use or activity not permitted in the underlying zone district. The drive-
thru restaurant use is permissible in BRSP, GC zoning designation.
e. The granting of the variance will not result in a situation inconsistent with the latest
adopted General Plan. The granting of the Variance will not be inconsistent with the
Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial Designation on the General Plan
Land Use Map.
f. Conditions necessary to secure the above findings are made a part of the approval
of the variance.
4. The Planning Commission/Site and Architectural Review Board finds as follows with
respect to Site and Architectural Review 19-08:
a. The Project is consistent with the intent of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and
General Plan. The proposed Taco Bell drive-thru restaurant is consistent with the
Municipal Code, General Plan and with the Barton Road Specific Plan, General
Commercial designation, which supports fast food drive-thru restaurants. The
Project site is designated General Commercial on the General Plan Land Use Map.
The Project is consistent with the General Commercial Land Use designation which
goal is to provide general commercial uses to serve the retail and service needs of
the community. The Project is consistent with the Circulation Element which provides
a well-maintained roadway system with the ultimate right-of-way along the street
frontage (Barton Road and Vivienda Avenue) and will not require additional
dedication. In addition, the Applicant provided a Scope of Study,which was reviewed
by the City Engineer and demonstrated that the circulation system can support the
project and no Traffic Study was required. The Project is consistent with the General
Plan, Noise Element, the proposed distance between the drive-thru speaker and the
property lines located to the north and the west is of about (70) seventy-feet in each
direction, the distance from the drive-thru speaker to the east property line is of about
50)fifty-feet. The Applicant submitted a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) study showing
that typically the SPL at 64 feet will be of only 48 dB. In addition, the speaker will
have an automatic volume control that adjust the outbound volume based on the
outdoor, ambient noise level. The Noise Element on the General Plan (Noise/Land
Use Compatibility Matrix on Table 6.3), shows restaurant uses with a normally
acceptable noise level of 65 dB; therefore, the drive-thru speaker is compliant with
the Noise Ordinance and will not create any negative impacts to adjacent properties.
In compliance with the Open Space and Conservation Element, the Applicant has
prepared a Water Quality Management Pan and a Preliminary Soils Engineering
Investigation Report. The structure will be built in compliance with the Building Code
and San Bernardino County Fire Department Regulations.
The Project complies with the Barton Road Specific Plan which overall goal is to
create a dynamic "downtown" commercial center that is attractive and of high quality,
unifying community design image and providing a balanced mixture of commercial
and administrative/professional uses with safe, efficient circulation and access. The
General Commercial designation is closest to the 1-215 Freeway and consist mainly
of residential uses, a school and some strip commercial. It is an area in transition
with several residential structures having been converted to commercial uses. This
area supports a variety of uses including but not limited to supermarkets, drug stores,
variety stores, hotels, and restaurants. The proposed project is consistent with the
development standards established on the Barton Road Specific Plan, Planning Area
1-General Commercial District (GC), except for the front setback landscape, located
on the south side of the property, along Barton Road, which requires the twenty-foot
front setback to be entirely landscaped; the applicant is deviating from this
requirement and has applied for a Variance proposing to accommodate the drive-
thru lane within the front landscape requirement area and for the reduction of one
parking space. The Project complies with all other development standards including
building height and lot coverage.
b. The location and configuration of all structures associated with this Project are
visually harmonious with this site and surrounding sites and structures, that they do
not interfere with the neighbors' privacy, that they do not unnecessarily block scenic
views from other structures and/or public areas and are in scale with the townscape
and natural landscape of the area. The proposed project will be visually harmonious,
the structure will not interfere with neighbor's privacy, the landscape will enhance
and complement the surrounding General Commercial area. Overall, the Project is
consistent with the Barton Road Specific Plan, General Commercial goals and
objectives to create and enhance the downtown character,while promoting economic
development, and maintaining the community design character, environmental
quality, and a high level of public services. The proposed scale of the structure will
be visually harmonious to the commercial surrounding uses along Barton Road.
c. The architectural design of structures, their materials, and colors are visually
harmonious with the surrounding development, natural landforms, are functional for
the Project and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code. The
proposed structure will comply with the general architectural guidelines for all
development established by the Barton Road Specific Plan. The applicant is
proposing a contemporary building with earth tone color palette shades of gray and
brown. The building accent color is tan color ("Pacer White"), the main building color
is a gray shade ("cityscape"), the building design accents include a slat wall in a
wood like finish and a corner tower with metal panels in a brown rust color. The
Projects architecture will complement and enhance the "downtown" character and
identity of the Barton Road Corridor and be compatible with surrounding uses and
structures.
d. The plan for landscaping and open spaces provides a functional and visually
pleasing setting for the structures on this site and is harmonious with the natural
landscape of the area and nearby developments. The Applicant has requested a
Variance to deviate from the front landscape setback at Barton Road to
accommodate the drive-thru lane; however, the applicant will enhance all other
planters on the site with water efficient plant material. The street scape will include
seven trees compliant with the Municipal Code requirements. The landscape will be
compliant with the Municipal Code and with the most recent Model Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance by the State of California.
e. There is no indiscriminate clearing of property, destruction of trees or natural
vegetation or the excessive and unsightly grading of hillsides, thus the natural beauty
of the City, its setting and natural landforms are preserved. The Project requires the
demolition of a 1,981 square-foot existing building and the clearing of the property
including approximately ten trees. The site will be enhanced by the proposed
development, including numerous landscaping areas and parking lot defined
planters, which will include multiple trees, shrubs, planting material, and
groundcover.
f. The design and location of all signs associated with this Project are consistent with
the scale and character of the building to which they are attached or otherwise
associated with and are consistent with the Grand Terrace Municipal Code. The
Applicant will submit a separate sign application for the business signs which will
include two wall signs and a monument sign. The proposed signs will be consistent
with the Sign Code.
g. Conditions of approval for this Project necessary to secure the purposes of the Grand
Terrace Municipal Code and General Plan have been applied to the Project.
