PUBLIC HEARING
The City received a request from Prisca and Hanfu Lee to delete the requirement that
prohibits education/tutoring centers on the ground floor of buildings along Huntington Drive.
The applicants own the property at 29 East Huntington Drive, which has been conditionally
approved for a coffeehouse and is currently improved with a dental office. The applicants
intend to add a tutoring component to the approved coffeehouse use. Pursuant to
regulations of the CBD (Central Business District) zone, tutoring centers are not a
conditionally approved use on the ground floor area, along Huntington Drive and First
Avenue; therefore the applicant initiated the Text Amendment. 2003-001.
The proposed text amendment would allow education/tutoring centers in the ground floor
area of buildings fronting Huntington Drive only, subject to the Conditional Use Permit
process. If approved, this would allow the Planning Commission an opportunity to review
applications for education/tutoring centers through the conditional use permit process.
The goals of the CBD (Central Business District) zone and the General Plan include the I
promotion of retail uses and pedestrian oriented development, especially along Huntington
Drive and First Avenue. Development Services Department staff felt that education/tutoring
centers are. not conducive to meeting the land use goals outlined in the CBD zone,
Downtown 2000 program and General Plan.
Further, the Planning Commission at its May 27, 2003 meeting voted 4-0 with one member
absent to recommend denial of T.A. 2003-001 to the City Council for proposed amendments
to the text of the Arcadia Municipal Code to allow education/tutoring centers on the ground
floor along Huntington Drive.
Following the presentation, Mayor Chang OPENED the public hearing.
Dr. Hanfu Lee, owner, 29 East Huntington Drive, requested City Council's approval of the
proposed text amendment, stating in part, that a tutoring center will bring more traffic to the
neighboring businesses and to the downtown area. He felt that it would be difficult for a
tenant to operate just a coffee house on a 2200 sq. ft. area. They are trying to have a
business that will be able to support itself with the help of a tutoring center.
Dr. Lee responded to questions raised by the City Council, stating in part, that the 2200 sq.
ft. will house the coffee shop and the tutoring center. The dental office is located in the rear
2/3rd of the building and the proposed coffeehouse would be located toward the front of the
building.
Mayor Chang CLOSED the Public Hearing.
I
Considerable discussion ensued. Some members felt that the proposed request is contrary to
the City's goal in trying to promote pedestrian and retail uses in the downtown area.

RESOLUTION Peter Kinnahan, Economic Development Administrator, provided a brief overview of
ARA-207 suggested modifications to the January 21, 2003 Owner Participation Agreement (OPA)
(Senior Housing requested by Mr. Roger Davila of American Senior Living (ASL), doing business as Arcadia
Project) Heritage Park, L.P., relative to the proposed 54-unit affordable senior housing project at 150
(APPROVED) West Las tunas Drive. (Exhibit A to Resolution ARA-207)
The Agency is also being requested by Mr. Davila in a Subordination and Standstill
Agreement (Exhibit B to Resolution ARA-207), to subordinate its 4.5% residual $1.8 million
loan behind the Bank of New York (BNY), the bond trustee (first trust deed), and behind AIG
SunAmerica (Sun), the Construction phase credit facility lender (second trust deed), but
ahead of the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission. The County has
agreed that the Agency is in a higher lien position than the County (Exhibit C to Resolution
ARA-207). This is generally consistent with previous discussions but it does expose the
Agency to some risk that a senior lien holder may, in the event of a foreclosure, convert at
least many of the income-restricted units to market rate and possibly stop repayment of
some or all of the loan. Certain protections for the Agency's rights are in the Agreement.
Agency Counsel advised that the Agency can subordinate the Health and Safety Code
requirement that affordable rental units be retained for 55 years if findings are made that no
other economically feasible method of financing the project, on substantially comparable
terms and conditions but without subordination, is reasonably available.
The actual construction expects to begin in late July or early August and completed by mid-
summer 2004. Under the Federal Tax Credit regulations, possible tenants must have their
income verified no sooner than 90 days prior to move-in: Therefore, the lottery to select the
tenants would be around mid-April 2004. This would permit ASL to have to verify and certify
incomes only once prior to occupancy.
It was noted that after much negotiation, Agency Counsel has reviewed and approved
Resolution ARA-207, as well as Amendment No.1 to the Owner Participation Agreement,
the Subordination and Standstill Agreement, and the Subordination Agreement with Los
Angeles County.
7
7/1/03
45:0127
In response to an Agency question, the Agency's financi.al advisor, Kathe Head of Keyser
Marston Associates, stated in part that, in the complicated affordable housing projects she has I
worked on, Agency approval of the Subordination Agreements and of the findings related
thereto are typically made and it is very common. Payment of the Agency's loan comes only
from 50% of the net cash flow, probably beginning around year 14 and continuing annually until
year 30, with the balance of loan principal and interest owned to be paid out of a developer
refinancing.
City Attorney Deitsch clarified that certain rights and remedies of the Redevelopment Agency
have been included into the Subordination Agreement regarding the Regulatory Agreement,
developers performance and Agency's right to foreclose. The lender had no problem with that.
Mr. Roger Davila of American Senior Living (ASL), stated that the Agency has the ability to lake
over the project if they do not meet the affordability compliances. If in fact this project goes to
foreclosure there will be a significant period of time between the inception of foreclosure
procedures and conclusion of foreclosure procedures. It can be either added to the document
and/or it is already in the document, that the Agency should be notified in the event of filing a
foreclosure. At that point there will be at least six months before the actual foreclosure happens
and that will give enough time for the tenants to be notified.
Following discussion it was MOVED by Agency Member Segal, seconded by Agency Member
Marshall and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE RESOLUTION ARA-207
entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MAKING
CERTAIN FINDINGS RELATIVE TO THE PROPOSED 54 UNIT AFFORDABLE SENIOR

MAYOR! On April 16,2002 the City Council adopted a unique Mayor's Rotation Schedule so that as
MAYOR PRO many Council Members as possible would have the opportunity to serve as Mayor during the
TEM City of Arcadia's centennial year. Different recollections as to who is to be Mayor Pro tem
ROTATION for the period covering January 20, 2004 until April 20, 2004 make it necessary for staff to
SCHEDULE ask for City Council clarification and direction on this matter.
(1-20-04 through
4-20-04) The staff report and motion suggesting the uniqu-e Mayor's rotation did not specifically
designate a Mayor Pro tem for the period of January 20 through April 20, 2004. However, I
the minutes that were prepared for the April 16, 2002 meeting and subsequently approved
by the City Council indicated Councilmember Marshall as the next in line.
