STUDY SESSION
During the past year, the Development Services Department has been reviewing parking
standards from other cities as well as studies conducted by International Parking Design,
Inc., Walker Parking Consultants and the American Parking Association. The City's parking
regulations have not been amended since 1985 and during the last few years there have
been new' types of businesses that the code does not address, such as, tutorial schools,
game arcades and also significant changes in the way many businesses operate such as
banking institutions.
Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator, presented an overview of the
proposed revisions to the City's parking regulations, set forth in the September 16, 2003 staff
report, with regard to mixed use developments, parking stall sizes, wheel stops, parking area
landscaping and walls in industrial/commercial zones, stating in part that, one of the major
recommended revisions is to eliminate compact or small car spaces. Currently, the City
allows 20% compact spaces.
With regard to mixed uses it was noted that, in the past the City has granted parking
modifications for mixed-use projects, based upon a demonstration of on-site parking needs.
Although the modification procedure creates another step in the process, it does allow staff
and the Committee/Commission an opportunity to analyze the parking needs based on the
specific site and the types of uses occupying the site. Modifications for mixed-use parking
are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Considerable discussion ensued. Some members expressed concerns with regard to the
parking problems in town related to congestion and quality development.

Following discussion, directions were given to staff to improve circulation pattems and

City Manager Kelly presented an overview of the new Police Station Project. The City
Council established a budget of $16 million for the project when it was conceptualized in
1999. On January 15, 2002 the City Council awarded a contract to Mallcraft, Inc., which
included two (2) bid alternates for a total contract price of $12,844,000. At that time the total
cost of the project was estimated to be approximately $16.2 million. In reviewing the overall
project revenues at that time, two additional revenue sources were identified that would not
involve any additional demands on City resources, and that cover the cost above $16
million.
Based on an analysis of the anticipated total project costs (Phase I and II), it appears that an
additional $140,000 is needed to finance Phase II activities (including bid alternate No.1).
Finally, it was noted that since the project is not complete, staff does not know it there will be
any disputed costs that cannot be resolved without another appropriation. This would need
to be addressed at the end of the project.
The City Council RECESSED and RECONVENED In the Council Chambers for the Regular

Carmie Falabrino, 487 Oxford Drive, urged the City Council to take action on distribution
trucks using her neighborhood streets as their route to access the freeway. She also would
like to know the status of the soundwall.
City Manager Kelly noted that California law allows distribution companies such as Vons to
use public streets as the most direct route in order to access the freeway. Baldwin Avenue
has been a truck route for decades and the City is not able to legally stop that. The Police
Department is in the process of sound testing in Ms. Falabrino's area. The City is also
looking into an alternative route for Vons Distribution Company in order to reduce the
number of trucks using Baldwin Avenue.
With regard to the soundwall project, Mr. Kelly noted that all funding for the soundwalls and
the artwork is on hold due to the state budget crisis.
M. GianQrande, 140 West Winnie Way, President, Arcadia Council PTA, presented an
overview of the Arcadia PT A Council, its programs and achievements. She urged parents to

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
At the August 1 g, 2003 meeting, the Agency directed staff to set a future public hearing date
and time at which the four (4) remaining developers were to present their respective
proposals for affordable housing on the vacant 55,000 sq. ft. City-owned parcel at the entry
to the Arcadia 3 Par Golf Course at 620 East Live Oak Avenue. Subsequently, the Agency
Board at its September 2, 2003 meeting, requested that the matter be re-agendized based
upon the potential that this site could be considered as a possible relocation site for
organi<tations or businesses that could potentially relocate from the Morlan Place Project.
Staff requested direction as to which way the members would like to proceed, either to table
the matter until a future date or to go forward with the public meeting.
Agency Member Segal stated in part, that he made a motion at the last meeting to table the
meeting with developers until the Agency resolves the redevelopment issues in the
redevelopment area specifically around the Rusnak dealership and related properties.
There may be a need to relocate a business or multiple businesses and this property is an
appropriate relocation site for some potential relocatees.
Considerable discussion occurred. Some members felt that the property on Live Oak
Avenue has been vacant for a iong time and it is a good opportunity for the City to use this
property for a multi-family residential project; others felt that delaying the development
project on the Live Oak Avenue property and considering other options is very economical
and a smart move.
It was MOVED by Agency Member Segal, seconded by Agency Member Marshall and
CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to TABLE the public meeting until such time as the
Agency has definitive information on to the need of that site for redevelopment negotiations
that possibly will be forthcoming.

(ARA Central
Redev. Plan-
Amendment
No.6) By adoption of Ordinance 2181, the Agency will be able to expend future tax increment for
(INTRODUCED) purposes other than paying existing debt. However, following such adoption, the Agency is
required by statute to forward 25% of the growth in tax increment over and above the year
2003 property tax receipts to other taxing agencies, and every year for the remaining life of
the Redevelopment Plan.
Consideration of the report and recommendation to INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 2181
entitled: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, ELIMINATING THE DEBT INCURRENCE DEADLINE FOR THE
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA."
AB 1290 adopted by the State Legislature in 1993 established certain new "limits" on
redevelopment agencies included was the termination of the Agency's ability to incur debt
after January 1, 2004. This effectively means that all tax increment received after that date
could only be spent for paying pre-existing debt, such as, annual principal and interest on
the 2001 Bond issue, and/or the principal and interest on the $4 million owed to the
Low/moderate Income Housing Fund. The Agency could not even pay for administrative
costs or reimburse the City General Fund for overhead costs incurred after January 1, 2004.
Staff explained in detail the options, set forth in the September 16, 2003 staff report, stating
in part that, the Agency/City Council have three (3) options for extending the iimit: 1 - the
Agency can presently (before January 1, 2004) borrow sufficient funds from another source,

Staff estimated the Agency's potential need for the ten-year period from January 2004 to
January 2014 approximately $10 million.
By adopting the Ordinance No. 2181, the Agency will be able to pay for annual operating
costs, an annual CIP program, and a Business Incentive program, out of annual tax
increment. However, the Agency must every year thereafter pay 25% of the growth in
annual tax increment from the adjusted base year

Mayor Kovacic adjoumed the meeting in memory of "Robert Dale Kidd, beloved husband,
father, grandfather and friend to many. Bob Kidd passed away peacefully at home
September 6: 2003, at the age of 77. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Ann, three
chiidren, James, Kathleen and Patricia and their spouses, he is pre,deceased by a son,
Richard. He is also survived by three grandchiidren, two great grandchildren and many in-
laws, nieces and nephews. Following high school graduation, Bob joined the U.S. Army Air
Corps. When the war ended, he attended Pasadena Jr. College and also earned a pilot's
license. He had a brief career with the U.S. Postal Service, prior to entering the business
world in the garment industry with Photo-Maker Services. He later became involved in sales
and metal tubing, retiring froon Tube Service Reliance Metals Company in 1991, and
continued another five years as an independent contractor. He served many years as camp
chairman and Scout Master for the Boy Scout Troop at Arcadia .Presbyterian Church,
instilling in others his great fondness for the outdoors. As an initial member of the Arcadia
"Over the Hill Gang", annual weekend trips in the Sierras were fond memories; hikes with
the "Arcadia Ridge ROllers" became a more recent activity. Many enjoyable days were
spent with his buddies on the golf course and in fact Bob wrote an essay for "Visions of
Arcadia: A Centennial Anthology", where he talked about growing up in Arcadia and also his
life on the golf course. He also made twice-yearly adventurous sailing trips to Catalina over
the years. He was a member of Sparks at the Arcadia Presbyterian Church and also

the Methodist Hospital Foundation".

Council member Marshall adjourned the meeting in memory of Bret Harker. "Bret Harker
grew up as my next door neighbor. When he moved into the neighborhood he was
beginning Dana Middle School and I watched him grow up and we got quite a kick that Bret
at that time was an unusual name and we had two Bret's living right next door to each other
and they spelled their name exactly the same so when you walked out your door and
hollered Bret you didn't know who would come running. Bret Elvis Harker was 45, he died
peacefully with his family at his bedside at Dixie Regional Medical Center, Sunday,
September 7,2003 from a brief illness. Bret was born July 29, 1958 in Provo, Utah to Glen
La Verne and Joan Terry Harker. He married Carline Komakona in Arcadia, California, July
