AGENDA ITEM
SUBJECT: MID YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS - FY 07-08
FUNDING REQUIRED
NO FUNDING REQUIRED XX
The Agency Board passed the FY 2007-2008 Budget on May 22, 2007. From July 1, 2007,
r through December 31, 2007, the Board approved additional appropriations of$13,112 and
additional Agency revenues of$200,000. These are listed on Schedule A along with adjustments
to the city budget, which will be covered in a separate agenda item.
There are no other appropriation or revenue adjustments being requested at this time.
A 6 month fund balance analysis is attached. The 3 redevelopment-funds are shown last, after the
city funds. The Project Fund's projected ending surplus is dependent upon land being sold for
development as estimated in the original budget. Any potential deficit will be addressed during
the upcoming budget process for FY08-09, and will be eliminated by temporary interfund loans
until additional agency land can be sold. The construction phase of the senior housing project
will continue into the next fiscal year so it is unlikely that the Housing Fund appropriations will
be spent as originally budgeted by June 30, 2008.
Staff Recommends that the Agency Board:
RECEIVE AND FILE.

everywhere and nothing is being done. He indicated that if letters have been sent and they
aren't responding he would like their information and he will go out and make a visit. There

staff is going to take care of the graffiti on the Union Pacific Rail.

�. directly to the County,however,the final determination of the spending of the City allocation is with the
purview of the City Council.
The City has been notified by the County to expect a total of$53,624 for FY 2008-09. This funding has
decreased 3.48%from last year.
There is a 15%funding limit for public service activities. Accordingly,the maximum CDBG funding total
that the City may allocate to priority public service projects is$8,043.This is 15%of the$53,624 allocation
available to the City. Attached is a summary list of the eligible CDBG project proposals identifying
benefits to the City. The full proposals including the ineligible proposal are available for review in the City
Clerk's office.
Staff is recommending funding the full 15%of the public service portion to the San Bernardino County
Library Literacy Program,log number 34046. The remaining balance of$45,581 is to be added to the un-
programmed fund balance. Currently,the balance of this fund is$9,965. Staff is recommending taking no
action this year on any projects other than our public service project to build up the fund account for larger
projects.
DISCUSSION
The County has completed its application process and submitted a listing of eligible projects which have
requested funding from the Grand Terrace Allocation. The City Council is now responsible for determining
funding and sending the information to the County for adoption.

located in the southeastern section of the City. This request generated a great deal of
controversy and was appealed to the City Council two times.
In response to this petition,the City Council adopted a"moratorium"on the approval of any
new applications for"amateur radio antenna structures." The Council also instructed the
Staff to prepare a permanent ordinance regulating "amateur radio antenna structures" in

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact"answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each
question.A"No Impact"answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources
show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g.,the project
falls outside a fault rupture zone).A"No Impact"answer should be explained where it is based
on project-specific factors as well as general standards(e.g.,the project will not expose sensitive
receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct,and construction as well as
operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the
checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,less than significant
with mitigation,or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact"is appropriate if there is
substantial evidence that an effect may be significant.If there are one or more"Potentially
Significant Impact"entries when the determination is made,an EIR is required.
4}--- --"Negative Declaration:Less Tharr Significant With Mitigation hworporated'iapphes where th
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"
to a"Less Than Significant hnpact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures,
and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation
measures from Section XVII,or earlier analyses may be cross-referenced). ;
5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR,or other CEQA
process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration.
Section 15063(c)(3)(D).In this case,a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed.Identify which effects from the above checklist were
within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards,and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation
measures based on the earlier analysis.
c) Mitigation Measures.For effects that are"Less than Significant with Mitigation
Measures Incorporated,"describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or
refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific
conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources
for potential impacts(e.g.,general plans,zoning ordinances).Reference to a previously prepared
or outside document should,where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where
the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached,and other sources used or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.

8) This is only a suggested form,and lead agencies are free to use different formats;however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9) The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) the significance criteria or threshold,if any,used to evaluate each question;and
b) the mitigation measure identified, if any,to reduce the impact to less than significance
10) The following abbreviations have been used in this checklist:

Brief explanation to answelFl ------ -- ------------ --- ----- -----—-------
I a)The limitations in the proposed ordinance on the height,the size of the antenna arrays and number
of antenna structures permitted on one parcel will insure that there will be no"substantial'adverse
effects on a scenic vista.
Finding: Impact less than significant.No mitigation is required.
I b)Minimal land disturbance,if any,would be required to put up a proposed antenna structure.
Therefore,there will be no"substantial'damage to scenic resources. In addition,there are no state
scenic highways within the City of Grand Terrace according to the Caltrans California Scenic
Highway Program.
Finding: No Impact.No mitigation is required.
I c)Again,the limitations on the height,size and number of antennas that can be put up will insure
that no visual or scenic resources will be"degraded"substantially.
Finding: Impact less than significant.No mitigation is required.
I d)The antenna structures permitted under the proposed ordinance will be required to be maintained
in good condition including repainting when necessary. In addition, the permitted antenna structures
will not be high enough to require any kind of safety lighting. Therefore,there will be no light or
glare which would affect day or nighttime views.
Finding: No Impact. No mitigation is required.

II.AGRICULTURE RESOURCES:In
determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental effects,
lead agencies may refer to the California
Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
( Assessment Model(1997)prepared by the
L J California Dept.of Conservation as an optional
model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture
and farmland.Would the project:
a)Convert Prime Farmland,Unique Farmland, ❑ ❑ ❑
or Farmland of Statewide Importance
(Farmland),as shown on the maps prepared
pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and
Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency,to non-agricultural use?
b)Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural ❑ ❑ ❑
us-6"Or a Wt1Ii"amson Act contract?
c)Involve other changes in the existing ❑ ❑ ❑ 0
environment which,due to their location or
nature,could result in conversion of Farmland,
to non-agricultural use?
A brief explanation to answer II:
H a)The limited amount of land necessary to erect a amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structure will
ensure that there would be no widespread or even limited conversion of prime farmland. In addition,
antenna structures will be places on residential sites which have already been converted to non-
agricultural uses. In addition,there are currently no significant agricultural resources in the City of
Grand Terrace.
R b)The proposed ordinance would not prohibit any of the proposed uses in the City's"Agricultural
Overlay"zone; therefore it will have no impact on existing zoning for agricultural uses. In addition,
there are no parcels in the City where the property owner has entered into a"Williamson Act"
contract.
H c)Amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures will be auxiliary uses primarily on residential parcels
which already have been converted to non-agricultural uses. These structures will not either directly
or indirectly result in the conversion of"Farmland"to non-agricultural uses.
Finding for II a-c: No Impact. No mitigation is required.

A brief explanation to answer III:
III a)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and putting up of amateur,"HAM,"
radio antenna structures. As there will be no grading to put up an antenna structure,there will be no
generation of dust or the emissions associated with grading. In addition,the operation of these
facilities will involve no generation of air emissions. Therefore there will be no violation of an air
quality plan such as the"2007 Air Quality Management Plan"adopted by the SCAQMD.
III b)The proposed ordinance would not violate any air quality standard or contribute"substantially"
to an air quality violation because the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above.
III c)The proposed ordinance would not"result in a cumulatively considerable net increase"in air
pollutants because of the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above.
III d)The proposed ordinance would not"expose sensitive receptors to substantial concentrations"
because of the lack of dust and air emission generation cited above.
III e)No objectionable odors would be generated by the use or operation of amateur, "HAM,"radio
antenna structures and equipment permitted by the proposed ordinance. In addition,as no grading
would be required,no odors associated with grading equipment would be generated.
Finding for III a-e: No Impact. No mitigation is required.

A brief explanation of answer IV:
IV a)The proposed ordinance would allow for the construction and erection of amateur,"HAM,"
radio antenna structures. As there will be no grading to put up an antenna structure,there will be no
"substantial"modification of habitat areas,if any exist in the City. At present,there are no known
endangered,threatened or rare species in the City. In addition,the City's General Plan,no significant
natural resources have been identified in the urban areas of the City where antenna structures would be
constructed. In the absence of any endangered,threatened, or rare species or their habitats,no impact
related to this issue would occur.
IV b)The amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not
have a substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community for the
reasons cited above.
IV c)The amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not
have a substantial adverse effect on federally_Qrotected wetlands through directremoval,etc.,for the-
reasons cited above.
IV d)The amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance would not
interfere substantially with wildlife dispersal or migration corridors because of little or no land
i
disturbance,including lack of grading,that will be required to construct such facilities.
IV e)The proposed ordinance will not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting
biological resources in that anyone seeking a permit to construct an amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna
structure will have to comply with all applicable City regulations before a permit would be issued.
IV f)The proposed ordinance will not conflict with any adopted habitat conservation plan in that there
are no such adopted habitat conservation plans that include the City of Grand Terrace.

A brief explanation of answer V:
V a-c)As discussed in the City's General Plan,the history of the City,particularly the agricultural use
of the area,makes the possibility of finding archaeological and,paleontological resource material
remote. The General Plan also states that there are little or no historical resources in the City. In
addition,no grading will not be required to construct or erect an amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna
structure. These facts will insure that the proposed ordinance will not result in adverse impacts to
archeological,paleontological or historical resources.
V d)There are no cemeteries in Grand Terrace. In addition,it is unlikely that human remains would
be disturbed outside of a"formal"cemetery in that,according to the General Plan,"the existing body
of knowledge has not identified any likelihood of local settlement by native Californians." Therefore
it is highly unlikely that the lack of or very limited amount of ground disturbance to erect an amateur,
"HAM,"radio antenna structure would disturb any human remains.
Finding for V a-d:No Impact. No mitigation is required.

A brief explanation of answer VI:
VI a-i)There are no known"active"faults as shown on the Alquist-Priolo maps within the City of
Grand Terrace. Therefore no amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures permitted by the proposed
ordinance would fail through fault rupture which is the failure of a structure caused by the
displacement along the trace of the active fault.
VI a-ii)The City of Grand Terrace could be subject to strong ground shaking during a seismic event in
the Southern California region. However,the antenna structures will require building permits as
determined by the City's Building Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is
that these structures will not fail during a seismic event including strong seismic ground shaking.
VI a-iii)The antenna structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building
Official. One of the considerations in granting a building permit is that these structures will not fail
during a seismic event including failure from or due to liquefaction. In addition,the Environmental
_ Impact Report for the City's General Plan states that liquefaction is unlikely to occur in most portions
of Grand Terrace.
VI a-iv)According to the Environmental Impact Report for the City's General Plan,landslides are a
relatively minor hazard in the City and would not be expected to represent a significant hazard.
VI b)Because no grading would be involved in constructing or erecting an amateur,"HAM,"radio
antenna structure,no significant impacts would result in soil erosion or loss of topsoil.
VI c)These structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official.
One of the considerations in granting a building permit is whether a"soils report"would be required
which would identify unstable soils.
VI d)These structures will require building permits as determined by the City's Building Official.
One of the considerations in granting a building permit is whether a"soils report"would be required
which would identify expansive soils.
VI e)The proposed amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures allowed by the proposed ordinance will
be unoccupied and as such will not generate waste water.
Finding for VI a-e:No Impact. No mitigation is required.

VII b)The construction, erection and maintenance of amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures
would not involve the creation of"significant"hazards to the public involving the release of hazardous
materials in that hazardous materials will not be used.
VII c)The construction,erection and maintenance of amateur,"HAM,"radio antenna structures would,
not involve the emission of materials within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school in that
hazardous materials will not be used.
VII d)There is only one such site in the City of Grand Terrace compiled pursuant to Government
Code Section 65962.5. This site consists of approximately 60 acres in the southern part of the City
owned by the Colton Unified School District for a future high school site. The School District is not
subject to the City's Zoning Code and therefore the proposed ordinance will have no effect on this
site.
VII e)There is no airport land use plan within the City of Grand Terrace and there are no public or r-
public use airports within two miles of the City of Grand Terrace. Therefore the adoption of the
proposed ordinance would not result in a safety hazard to people working in the City from this hazard.
VII f)There are no private airstrips withing the City of Grand Terrace.
VII g)Because of the relative small size of amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures,there will be no
impairment or interference with any emergency response or evacuation plan.

A brief explanation of answer VIII:
V1H a)The amateur, "HAM,"radio antenna structures permitted by the proposed ordinance will
require no grading in their construction and will discharge no waste water in their operation. The lack
of grading and the lack of waste discharge will insure that no violations of water quality standards or -
waste discharge requirements will take place.
VIII b) In that the proposed antenna structures will require no water in their operations, there will be
no"substantial adverse impacts"on groundwater supplies. ;
VIII c)The relatively small size of the proposed uses and the lack of grading will insure that the
existing drainage pattern of the area will not be substantially altered.
VIII d)The relatively small size of the proposed uses and the lack of grading will insure that there will
be no increase in"runoff'water which would exceed the capacity of existing or,.planned stormwater
drainage systems.
VIII e)The relatively small size of the proposed uses, the lack of grading and.the lack of discharge
will insure that the existing drainage pattern of the area will not be substantially altered or provide
"substantial"additional sources of polluted runoff.
VIII f)The relatively small size of the proposed uses,the lack of grading and the lack of discharge will
insure that water quality will not"otherwise"be substantially degraded.
VIII g)The proposed ordinance for amateur, "HAM,"radio antennas does not involve the placement
of housing in a 100-year flood hazard area or otherwise.
VIII h)The relatively small size of the proposed uses and the lack of ground disturbance will insure
that the proposed structures will not impede or redirect flood flows.
VIII i)The proposed ordinance does not call for any structures for human occupation or significant
structures that could result in death or significant loss from flooding.
VIII j)There are no large bodies of water in or near Grand Terrace which would result in"seiches"or
"tsunamis." Additionally,in that the proposed amateur,"HAM"radio antenna structures will not
involve human habitation,the hazards from mudflows will be non-existent.

FUNDING REQUIRED NO FUNDING REQUIRED X
SUBJECT: Tentative Parcel Map No. 06-02(County Surveyor Number
18581) and E-06-08 to divide the subject area into three
parcels or lots ranging in.size from 11,284.63 square feet
to 13,096.61 square feet.
APPLICANT: Techno-Dynamics Consultants, Inc.
LOCATION: 21910 Vivienda Avenue (An approximately .84 of an acre
parcel located on the northeasterly corner of the
intersection of Grand Terrace Road and Vivienda Avenue.)
RECOMMENDATION: Open the Public Hearing on the proposed tentative parcel
map; Receive any testimony; and Approve the attached
Resolution calling for the Approval of the requested
tentative parcel map.
Background:
The Planning Commission on January 17, 2008 unanimously recommended that the City
Council approve the requested tentative parcel map. There was no opposition to this
request at the Commission's public hearing on this matter; but there was concern
expressed over"line-of-site"issues atthe intersection of Grand Terrace Road and Vivienda
Avenue.
The applicant, on behalf of the owner, is requesting approval of the proposed tentative
parcel map to divide the subject site into three new parcels or lots as follows: Parcel 1 -
13,096.61 sq. ft.; Parcel 2 - 11,284.63 sq. ft.; and Parcel 3 - 12,424.71 sq. ft. Exhibit 1
shows the proposed lot division dividing the .84 acre subject site into the three new
parcels. Each new lot or parcel will exceed the minimum standards of the underlying R2
zone which has a minimum required area of 10,000 square feet; minimum width of 60 feet
(70 feet for a corner lot), minimum depth of 100 feet; and minimum street frontage of 40
feet. Exhibit 2 is a 8 Y2" x 11" reduction of the proposed tentative parcel map.
22795 Barton Road • Grand Terrace, California 92313-5295 • 909/ 824-6621
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO.biC l

This request is both consistent with the R2 Zoning of the site and the Low Medium Density
Residential category of the City's General Plan. The proposed new parcels are also,
compatible with the existing lot'sizes in the immediate area, especially to the south of the
site.
r
All three new lots will front on Vivienda Avenue which is 60-foot wide local street on the
Circulation Element of the General Plan. There are no curbs, gutters or sidewalks along;
Vivienda at this location. No dedication is required for street widening on Vivienda;
however, a condition of approval will require the developer to provide needed street:
improvements including curb, gutter, walks and street lights.
Grand Terrace Road on the westerly side of the site is a 66-foot wide local collector but!
presently has a 60-foot width. It has a curb and gutter but no sidewalk. Street,
improvements will be required including a sidewalk along with street dedication.
Staff asked the City's Traffic Engineer to examine the intersection of Vivienda and Grand
Terrace Road. He provided comments on the sight distance requirements for this project;
and concluded that the proposed improvements for the project "will improve visibility for
vehicles approaching the intersection..." (Please see Exhibit 3). Also, the Planning;
Commission imposed an additional condition that the developer must coordinate the site.
distance design of the intersection of Vivienda and Grand Terrace with the City Traffic,
Engineer prior to the issuance of building permits.
The applicant submitted plans for three, two-story single family residences, one for each'
proposed parcel. These plans were submitted under Site and Architectural Review Case,
No.'s 06-08, 06-09 and 06-10; they were approved by the Planning Commission on'
January 17, 2008 when it recommended the approval of the tentative parcel map. The,
proposed homes will have a contemporary architectural style with floor plans having'
between approximately 1,890 and 2,021 sq. ft. The site plan, floor plans and elevations
of the proposed homes are shown on the"Attachments"to the Planning Commission staff
report which is attached as Exhibit 4.
The only matter that is before the City Council is the proposed tentative parcel map.,
Site and Architectural Review applications for single family homes do not go before
the City Council. The Site and Architectural Review applications for the three,
residences were approved by the Planning Commission contingent on the City'
Council approving the tentative parcel map.
It has been determined that this tentative parcel map proposal is categorically exempt from;
the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA)as a Class 3,Categorical:
Exemption.
Finally, Exhibit 5 is the "Resolution of Approval" which includes the necessary findings in
support of the proposed tentative parcel map and the recommended conditions of,
approval.
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission and staff recommend thatthe City Council approve the attached
Resolution of Approvala(Exhibit 5)for Tentative Parcel Map No. 06-02 (County No. 18581).

Subject: Comments on Sight Distance Requirements for 21910 Vivienda Avenue
Location: northeast corner of Vivienda at Grand Terrace Road
File No: Not Applicable
Per your request I have reviewed the proposed project at 21910 Vivienda Ave to determine if
it will adversely stop sight distance visibility at the intersection of Vivienda at Grand Terrace
Road.
Currently, the stopping sight distance does not meet standard for vehicles approaching from
the west and south of the intersection. The stopping sight distance is obstructed by the
existing elevation of the northeast quadrant relative to the intersection.
- The existing unobstructed sight distance has been measured at 119 feet. The prima facie
�J speed limit for Vivienda and Grand Terrace Road is 25 mph, indicating a minimum sight
distance standard of 125 feet.
The site plan for the proposed three lot subdivision calls for construction of new sidewalk and
retaining wall along the parameter of the project on Vivienda and Grand Terrace Road.
These improvements will improve visibility for vehicles approaching the intersection from the
south and west.

SUBJECT: SA-06-08, SA-06-09, SA-06-10,TPM-06-02 (County No. 18581)
and E-06-08 to construct three, two-story, single family residences
and create three single family lots
APPLICANT: Techno-Dynamics Consultants,Inc.
LOCATION: 21910 Vivienda Avenue (An approximately.84 of an acre parcel
located on the northeasterly corner of the intersection of Grand
Terrace Road and Vivienda Avenue.)
RECOMMENDATION: Open the public hearing, receive the staff report and testimony,
close the hearing and approve the Resolution of Approval for SA-
06-08, SA-06-09, SA-06-10 and E-06-08 and recommend to the

No. 18581) supported by the required findings and subject to the
recommended conditions of approval.
REOUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval to construct three,two-story single family residential units each
with an attached two-car garage. The proposal also involves a tentative parcel map to create three :
single family lots. Each proposed lot will be occupied by one residence. In addition,the project will
consist of three floor plans with each proposed home having a different elevation/architectural style.
The applicant has stated the reasons for this project in the attached "Letter of Intent." (Please see
Attachment 1.)
This project had originally started out as a proposal for six residences within a six lot "small
subdivision." This proposal was heard by the Planning Commission on January 18, 2007. It was
22795 Barton Road a Grand Terrace, California 92313-5295 • qnq/ RPa-RFP I
a
the consensus of the Commission that this original project was too dense and that the proposal
should be reduced to three units, one on each of three lots. The matter was taken off-calendar in
order for the applicant to revise the project by reducing the number of units to three. The
applications have now been modified to subdivide the site into three residential lots with one
residence on each lot. The Commission also noted that there would be no problem if the proposed
homes were two-stories in height.
SITE AND SURROUND AREA:
The subject site is an approximately.84 of an acre parcel located on the northeasterly corner of the
intersection of Grand Terrace Road and Vivienda Avenue. The site has a frontage on Vivienda of
about 230 feet and an average depth of about 120 feet. The site is presently occupied by a single
family residence on the corner of Grand Terrace and Vivienda and a small converted garage/shed
on the easterly side of the site. The existing residence is one-story in height and was built in 1954
with a little over 1,000 sq. ft.of living area. This residence will be demolished to accommodate the
proposed project.
There are a few existing trees,mainly eucalyptus, on the site especially along the northerly boundary
next to an "arroyo"which runs along the northerly side. The site slopes to the north away from
Vivienda Avenue with a downward slope averaging about 5%except for the northerly edge of the
site which lies within an arroyo running northerly of the site. Slopes along the arroyo are as much
as 2:1 or 50%.
fit The surrounding area is basically a one-story, single family neighborhood with the exception of a
duplex to the immediate east of the site on Vivienda, a duplex and 4-plex across Vivienda to the
southeast of the site, and another duplex to the south on Grand Terrace Road. To the immediate
north are three homes on a large 4 acre parcel, additional residential including a small trailer park;
and to the northeast lies the Grand Royal Mobilehome Park. Also, farther to the south on Grand
Terrace Road is the Grand Terrace Moblehome Park.
Vivienda Avenue is a 60 foot wide local street. The street is only partially developed with about 25
feet of pavement and no curbs, gutters or sidewalks. Grand Terrace Road, north of Vivienda, is
classified as a 66 foot wide local collector but presently has a 60 foot width. It has a curb and gutter
along the frontage of the subject site but no sidewalk. Street improvements are required along both
streets and additional dedication will apparently be required along Grand Terrace Road.
The City's Master Plan of Storm Drains shows a 24" storm drain starting near the northeast comer
of Grand Terrace Road and Vivienda and running south to a 30"storm drain which runs in a westerly
direction to empty into natural drainage.
For an aerial view of the site and surrounding area, please see Attachment 2.
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING:
The site is located in the R2(Low Medium Density Residential)Zone. This site has been zoned for
R2 uses for a number of years. The site is also located in the"MDR"(Medium Density Residential)
Category of the City's General Plan. The proposed density for the overall project with three units
will be about 3.7 units/acre which is well within the allowable density range of the R2 Zone
(maximum 9 units/acre).
The properties to the north,west,east and south along Vivienda and Grand Terrace are located also
in the R2 (Low Medium Density Residential) Zone with the exception of the Grand Terrace
Mobilehome Park on Grand Terrace Road which is zoned R3 (Medium Density Residential). Also
zoned R3 are two,additional,mobilehome parks to the north and northeast of the subject site. The
immediate surrounding area is also located in the"MDR"(Medium Density Residential)category
of the City's General Plan.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Site Plan:
The site plan,marked Exhibit SP-1,shows the proposed development consisting of three(3)single
family detached units on three individual lots. All of the residences will be two stories in height.
Access will be provided by Vivienda Avenue. All three homes will front on Vivienda Avenue. Each
proposed driveway will come off of Vivienda.
The proposed setbacks will meet or exceed the R2 setback standards which are 25 feet for the front
yard, 10 feet for the side yard on the garage side of the property and rear yards of 20 feet. All three; t,
homes will have long deep rear yards. In addition, Parcel 1, the corner lot, will have a very large
corner side yard adjacent to Grand Terrace Road.
Each proposed home will have a relatively long driveway ranging from 25 to 36 feet. This will allow
for additional off-street parking for guests or visitors. Each driveway will be fairly level draining
towards the north around each residence.
Each rear yard will be partially enclosed by 5-foot high "CMU" blockwalls with wood gates.
However,there will be retaining walls in the rear of each parcel to minimize the rear yard slope to
make each rear yard more usable. These retaining walls will be a maximum of 6 feet in height. No
fence or blockwall is shown on top of these retaining walls;however,the applicant has indicated that
there will be a 5 foot high wrought-iron fence on top of the retaining walls. In addition,to make the
curve sections of the retaining walls more practical to construct,the curve sections are actually made
up of a series of short, straight sections. The final wall design will probably have longer sections.
There will also be a retaining wall, 2'to 4' in height, at the edge of the side yard of Parcel 1 along
Grand Terrace Road. There will be a wood fence on top of this retaining wall. This is the only ,
location where a fence is shown on top of a retaining wall on the site plan.
Concrete walks are shown from the driveways in front of the garages to the front doors of each
home. Also shown,are additional concrete walks around the side and rear of each home. Some of
the rear walkways appear large enough to be used as future patio areas.
Lot coverage will be between 10%to 12%for the three lots;this will be far below the 60%allowed
in the R2 Zone.
A 8 %"x I reduction of the site plan has been included in this staff report as Attachment 3.
Floor Plans:
The project consists of three floor plans, each with a different front elevation. The proposed floor
plans are shown on Exhibit A-1.1, Exhibit A-1.2 and Exhibit A-1.3. Each plan includes a two-car
garage and all plans have a second floor. Exhibit"A-1.1 shows the floor,plans for Unit 1. It will
contain a total of 2,020.81 square feet of living area with four bedrooms. The first floor will have
a living room,family room,dining area,kitchen,bath and one bedroom. The second floor will have
a master bedroom,master bath, two other bedrooms and another bath. In addition, there will also
be a small balcony on the westside of the house. Exhibit A-1.2 shows the floor plans for Unit 2. It
will contain a total of 1,889.46 square feet of living area with four bedroom. The first floor will have
a living room, family room, dining area,kitchen,bath and bedroom. The second floor will have a
master bedroom,master bath,two other bedrooms,bath and a second family room upstairs. There
will also be a small,covered balcony on the east side of the house. Exhibit A-1.3 contains the floor
plans for Unit 3. The floor plans for this residence are the same as for Unit 1 except these plans are
the"reversed"plan for Unit 1. The living area square footage is the same as for Unit 1 or 2,020.81
sq. ft.
The interior dimensions for the garages meet the requirements for the zoning code excepting for thegarage for Unit 2 which does not meet the required interior depth of 20 feet.
8 %2"x 11"reductions of the floor plans of the three homes have been attached to the staff report as
Attachment 4, 5 and 6.
Elevations:
As noted above each proposed residence will have its own architectural treatment or elevation style.
The proposed elevations of all four sides of each home are shown on Exhibits A-2.1 a, A-2.lb,A-
2.2a,A-2.2b,A-2.3a and A-2.3b. The proposed homes will have a contemporary architectural style
with the use of columns,arched windows,window panes,window trim and molding on all four sides
of the resident. All three homes will have decorative front doors and roll—up garage doors. The roof
will consist of clay tiles and at least one of the homes will have"ledgestone"on the front facade.
Access to the rear yards from the interior of the house will be provided by sliding"french"doors.
As indicated above,each home will be two stories in height but will be well under the 35 foot height
limit of the R2 Zone.
8 Y? x 11" reductions of the six elevations are attached as Attachments 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

Preliminary Landscaping_
The preliminary landscaping plan is shown on Exhibit LP-I. The preliminary landscape plan shows
a plant pallette including trees, shrubs,vines,groundcover and location of various plantings. Each
home will have at least two trees in addition to a required street tree. The street trees are shown
within the sidewalk area but will have to located to the rear of the sidewalk within the parkway.
Various shrubs will be planted in front of each residence and the front yard fencing. The reminder
of the front yards will contain various"ground covers"as shown on the plant pallette.
In addition, the "arroyo" at the north end of the site contains numerous eucalyptus trees, most of
which will remain.
No landscaping is shown on the slope facing Grand Terrace Road. If this project is approved, a
condition of approval will require that this slope be appropriately landscaped.
A detailed landscaping and irrigation plan will be required to be submitted and to be approved prior
to the issuance of building permits if this project were to be approved. In addition, all of the
landscaping will have to be installed prior to the final occupancy of each residence.
A 8 Y? x 11" reduction of the preliminary landscaping plan is shown as Attachment 13.
Tentative Parcel Man:
The proposed tentative parcel map is shown on Exhibit TM-1. The County Recorder's number for
the tentative map is 18581. There are three (3) proposed lots/parcels, all taking access off of
Vivienda Avenue.
The following table contains the sizes of each of the proposed parcels:
Parcel 1 = 13,096.61 sq. ft.
Parcel 2 = 11,284.63 sq. ft.
Parcel 3 = 12,424.71 sg. ft
Total 36,805.95 sq. ft. =0.84 acres
Each proposed lot/parcel meets all of the minimum standards of the existing R2 Zone including'
exceeding the minimum lot size of 10,000 sq. ft., the minimum lot width of 60 feet(70 feet for the
corner lot) and minimum lot depth of 100 feet.
The proposed tentative parcel map also shows such details as existing development on the site,
existing utilities, adjacent streets,proposed drainage structures and easements and proposed street
improvements. All existing structures on the site will be demolished.
A 8 %Z" x 11" reduction of the tentative map is attached hereto as Attachment 14.
Conceptual Grading
The conceptual grading is shown on Exhibits C 1,,C2,C3A,C313 and C5. The grading notes include
notes on the planting and irrigation of graded slopes, on the stormwater pollution plan and on the
"SUSMP"requirements. The grading notes also indicated that there will be balance of cut and fill
on this site. The rough grading and demolition plan is shown.on Exhibit C2.The proposed grading
will be graded from south to north with an average grade between 6%and 8%. South to north fall
will be approximately 20 feet with the southeasterly corner of the site having a high point of about
985 feet and the northwesterly corner having a low point of about 965 feet. Sheet C3A shows the
final grading. Retaining walls will be constructed across the north end of each lot and also along a
portion of the westerly side of the corner lot. The reason for this is to"flatten"out the lots and raise
the back yards to make them more usable for active recreational purposes. Average finished rear
yard slopes will be about 5%. The drainage of the yards of Parcels 2 and 3 will be"picked up"by
concrete drains ruining along the rear walls and retaining walls. This drainage will then flow into
the arroyo to the north eventually to a drain under Grand Terrace Road as Shown on Exhibit C3B.
This latter drawing shows how the drainage at the northerly end of the site will flow into the arroyo
and then into a drain going under Grand Terrace Road. The drainage for Parcel 1 will flow by
means of concrete drains to Grand Terrace Road. Finally,the last sheet shows the proposed cut and
fill on the site which will be balanced.
The applicant has submitted a"Preliminary Hydrology Study,"a"Geotechnical Study,"a"SWPPP"
plan and a "WQMP" plan which demonstrate how the site will be graded and developed in
' 7
accordance with appropriate codes and regulations including the clean water laws.
8 %Z"x 11"reduction of the preliminary grading plans are shown on Attachments 15, 16, 17, 18 and
19 in the staff report.
Color and Material Board:
A"Color and Materials"board for this project will be made available at the public hearing for the
Planning Commission's information and review. The board contains the color scheme that will be
used throughout the project along with of the stucco colors and roof tile. If this project is approved,
a condition will be imposed requiring the applicant or developer to submit paint manufacturers color
chips for review and approval for each residence.

LETTER OF INTENT
GENTLEMEN:
We are the Engineer/Architect for the property located at 21910 Vivienda Avenue, Grand
Terrace, CA 92313. The site has a net area of 0.71 acre and is zoned as R-2, slopes toward the
north at approximately 5% to the rear of the property from Vivienda Avenue. The north
boundary of the property slopes at 2:1 where the Arroyo is located. The site is being occupied
by a single family, one story house and a detached garage/carport. It is our intention to develop
the site by building new Three (3) Units Single Family Residential with a two-car attached
garage for each unit through a Site Plan. The total effort includes demolishing the existing house
and garage; remove/relocate some existing trees; provide street improvements; and utilities.
Also, a part of the improvements that we will be doing is the landscaping of open areas required.
We therefore request approval of the Site Plan and Tentative Map so we can continue with the
construction drawings and implement the project soon.

Subject: Comments on Three Lot Subdivision
Location: 21910 Vivienda Avenue
File No: Site and Architectural Review Case#06-08
Per your request I reviewed the subject project.
There is extensive existing vegetation fronting the project site. When the site is developed,
any vegetation should be removed which obstructs line of sight of the residential driveways to
be located on Vivienda.
I have no additional comments on this project.

15.08.10 Findings and Adoption of the California Fire Code.
(a) FINDINGS. The City Council of the City of Grand Terrace hereby finds as
follows:
(1) That the California Fire Code, 2007 Edition, and 2006 International Fire
Code, published by said organization, are nationally recognized compilations of
proposed rules, regulations, and standards of said organization.
(2) That said California Fire Code and International Fire Code have been
printed and published as a code in book form within the meaning of Section
50022.2 et seq. of the California Government Code.
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. �'�
C
(3) That the sections and subsections of said California Fire Code and
International Fire Code may be referred to by the number used in said published
compilation preceded by the words "California Fire Code Section" or "Fire Code
Section" or "Subsection" and may also be referred to by additional reference to
the Grand Terrace Municipal Code and sections therein pertaining to said ;
California Fire Code and International Fire Code.
(4) That California Health and Safety Code Section 17958 et seq. provides,
in pertinent part, that a county may make such changes or modifications to'the
provisions published in the California Building Standards Code and other
regulations adopted pursuant to Section 17922 as it determines are reasonably
necessary because of local climatic, geological and topographical conditions.
(5) That the additional requirements and standards established herein are
needed to properly protect the health, safety, and welfare of the existing and
future residents and workers of the City of Grand Terrace. Said requirements
and standards are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological,
and topographical conditions described herein.
(6) Local Climatic Conditions.
(A) The City of Grand Terrace is subject to extremely strong winds,
commonly known as "Santa Ana Winds" which can reach speeds in excess of 90
miles per hour. Extensive damage frequently accompanies these winds, such as
blowing sand and debris, downed power lines, fallen trees, overturned vehicles
and structural damage to buildings. These conditions result in increased demand
for fire services, blocked or delayed emergency vehicle access and impaired
water supplies and building emergency systems.
(B) During the summer months, the Santa Ana Winds produce periods ;
of extremely low humidity, thereby reducing the fuels moisture and increasing the
.ON MST11 A4314 0A.113HUO3
possibility and severity of fire from dry vegetation and other common
combustibles.
(C) During the summer months, the City experiences prolonged periods
of temperatures in excess of 100°F. When coupled with sustained severe Santa
Ana Winds, an increase in the threat from rapidly moving fires exists.
(7) Local Geological Conditions.
(A) The City is subject to moderately strong to severe shaking and
surface ruptures resulting from numerous known earthquake faults located
throughout the area. These local earthquake faults have the potential to cause
severe personal and property damage, utility interruptions, fire hazards and
hazardous materials releases. Additionally, significant roadway, bridge structure,
water supply and communications systems are subject to failure, thereby causing
a detriment to emergency services response.
(B) Unstable slopes in the Blue Mountain area and other hillside areas
J throughout the City have experienced soil movement as a result of
heavy or soaking rains, resulting in damage to roadways, structures
and utilities.
(8) Local Topographical Conditions.
(A) The topography of the City is diverse, ranging from relatively flat
valley areas, to foothill areas, to steep hillside areas. This results in
delayed or obstructed access to some areas, affecting fire
department response times and fire personnel safety.
(B) The topography of the City results in split water pressure zones
throughout the area. This results in some areas having limited,
unreliable or unavailable water supplies available for firefighting
purposes.
3
i
(C) Due to the topography of the City, it is traversed by several high
voltage electrical transmission lines which cross over hazardous brush-covered
areas. High winds have caused damage to these lines, resulting in vegetation
fires. Access to many of these areas is unavailable to vehicles, making response
to these fires unusually difficult.
(D) Due to the topography of the City, high-pressure natural gas
transmission lines traverse the City to transport natural gas at extremely high
pressures. These lines pass through, under or over populated areas and wildfire
prone areas and are also subject to damage due to flooding or seismic events.
(b) ADOPTION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE. The City Council of the
City of Grand Terrace hereby,adopts the 2007 edition of the California Fire Code,
also known as Part 9 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations
(incorporating the 2006 International Fire Code), and Appendices chapter 1 and
chapter 4, and Appendices B, C, E, F, G, and H, as compiled and published by

petroleum gas shall also be limited to 2,000 water gallons. The fire,code official
shall be guided by the appropriate City or County Development Code when
permitting the storage of liquefied petroleum gas in excess of 2,000 water gallons
`- at any one installation.

The limits referred to in section 3204.3.1.1 of the California Fire Code, in
which the storage of flammable cryogenic fluids in stationary containers is
prohibited, are hereby established as follows: flammable cryogenic fluids shall

Based on prior years' activity and building estimates made when the budget was being assembled
almost one year ago, a total of$231,238 was included in estimated revenues. Of this amount, $106,925
is attributable to the senior housing project and has already been received. It has been deferred and
will be recorded as revenue this fiscal year after legal issues are resolved. Apart.from this amount, the
City has only received $7,351 as of December 31, and estimating twice this amount for the full fiscal
year, in addition to the senior housing revenue, the revised estimate is therefore reduced to $121,627.

From: Cathy Varela — Director of Child Care
Date: February 1, 2008
Subject: Mid Year Budget Requests for 2008
Mid-Year Budget Requests for February—2008
City of Grand Terrace Child Care Services
I would like to request funds to repair our piping system at our facility. $25,320.78 (includes
municipal discount of 6%)
`Epoxy Injection
Due to water corrosion to our copper piping, we have had an ongoing problem with
our pipes leaking for some years now. We have had 6 leaks and two were major
enough to cost thousands of dollars to repair. On two occasions, we were forced to
close our doors to our families until the repairs were completed.
For this reason, we are requesting funds and an approval for a process in which an
epoxy coating is applied to the inner-lining of our piping system. The process would
take up to three days to complete. Although we previously spoke about repiping the
center, I do not feel that repiping the center is,the best solution for two main reasons:
It seems to be much more costly than the procedure mentioned above — running
approximately$35,000-$45,000. We were also informed that we would need to close
our center from public use for several weeks while the center went through a
'repiping' procedure.
After discussing the idea with Mike, Mike and Steve, we have come to the conclusion
that this would be our best route to avoid any further flood damage to our facility.
We appreciate your consideration in approving the funds for an epoxy injection.
