"EXHIBIT AU
THE PEOPLE OF ARCADIA DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Purpose and Findings.
WHEREAS, the property known as the Santa Anita Racetrack at
285 W. Huntin<;rton Drive, Arcadia, California 91007-3417 and
described on the attached map of the Arcadia General Plan, is
currently designated for horse racing in the General Plan, and is
zoned S-l a Special Use for Horse Racing;
WHEREAS, traffic congestion in the vicinity of the race
track already exists, resulting in unhealthful levels of air
pollution and impairing the mobility of current residents and
visitors;
WHEREAS, a dramatic and concentrated increase in commercial
growth would exceed the capacity of the City to provide necessary
city services, such as police, fire, and sanitary services;
WHEREAS, the construction of the Entertainment Center
proposed by Santa Anita Realty Enterprises, Inc., as part of the
application for a zone change Z95-001 would fundamentally change
the character of the community and adversely impact the quality
of life that has made Arcadia an attractive place to live, now,
therefore,
Section 2.
Section 25g. of the General Plan, Land Use Element, is
amended to read:
This designation applies to the area of the city used for horse
racing. Because of the unique nature of the horse racing and the
size and location of the property within the City and the desire
to see this use continue; the site is designated for this special
use, This section will not be amended to allow any use other
than horse racing except by a majority vote of the people.
