In h:s presentation City Manager Kelly noted that there were ~NO meetings between the
sub-committee and Mr. Stronach's representatives to discuss the proposed expansion
plan af Santa Anita Park. At the last meeting, Santa Anita advised, the project would
probably not be that which was submitted before, it is changing; they are rethinking their
design, timing and'schedullng.
Because of 1110 General Plan lunguage Identifying the Santa Anita property as being
slgr.ificant from a Ic:nd use, architectural and historical pC'int ot view, and not having a
design review process. Also, because any project at Santa Anita requires analysis of
environmental impacts in order to process. it is staffs opinion to amend the S-1 zone to
require design review before the Planning Commission and the City Council for supstantial
projects at Santa Anita Race Track. fin S-1 zone code ame,1dm~l1t will legally provide 1he
City with gcod publ:c polici' cO:1sistcr:t 'flith the General Plan; give the Council and
mmmunity input to a very important land use and it's impacts; and, will give Santi! Anita a
;1redictable plan of how to process the project and have belter <:ontrol of it. Further, Mr.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Consideration of the report regarding Amendment Number 5 to the Central
Redevelopment Plan (South Arcadia) and recommendation to adopt ARA Resolution No.
192. On August 1, 2000, the Agency elected to proceed with Phase 2 of the Amendment
to the Central (Downtown) Redevelopment Project Area to add most of the South Arcadia
Business District into the Redevelopment Area (Amendment No.5). In November 2000,
the Agency selected Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) and a sub-consultant, Terry
A. Hayes Associates, (TAHA) to prepare the necessary documents.
The Agency's consultant has prepared the following documents: 1 - the Final Preliminary
Report; which Gontains development law and the purposes of the law, the boundaries of
thu Redevelopment Project Area, the land uses of existing and the proposed area, and the
densilies and existence of physical and economic. blighl; 2 - the Draft Redevelopment Plan
is essentially the saTTle as the original 1974 Plan, ii establishes the required time Iimito, or,
the life of the amendment (30 ytlars), the power of eminent domain (12 years), and puts"
$60 million cap on the amount of money that tho Agency can raise in South Arcadia; 3 -
Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), addresses the proposed programs, projects
and activities 10 eliminate or mitigate the blighting influences in the South Arcadia Area. A
detFliled overview of the above documents is set forth in the April 3, 2001 staff report.
Staff further noted, that the Project Area will generate property tax revenue ranging from
approximately $65,000, (including 20% housing set aside) in 2002-03 to $458,000 in 2031
(lotal - $8,257,000). The amendment tax increment ceiling is set at $60 million so that the
Agency will have sufficient capacity to issue bonds.
The Agency'~ consultant, Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (lCMA), has also prepared ARA
Resolution No. 192 for Agency Members consideration and adoption. The resolution
authorizes staff to circulate the Draft Redevelopment Plan and the Draft Environmental
impact Report to the public, the Project Area Committee (PAC), the Planning Commission,
and !ho City Council. It also approves the Preliminary Report and directs staff to submit
ttm report to tho ti:xing agendes, COlJr;:y taxing cfficia!~, Gnd State Board of Equalization

In response to Mayor Kovacic's query, staff explained in detail the two types of olight, a
physical olight and an economic olight, stating in part, as for physical olight, over 45% of
the ouildings in the proposed amendment area suffer from a detrimental condition; more
than 50% of the ouildings are of inadequate size, which "is less than' 5,000 sq. ft. oased
upon modern retail and commercial standards; 21% have inadequate parking; over 74%
. were on lots less than 200 feet in depth, which is an inadequate depth for economic
efficiency. As far as the 'economic olight, the assessed properly values in the amendment
area over the last four (4) years rose only 7.9% vs. a 17.9% in the'City as a whole and a
16.3% rise in Los Angles County. Taxaole sales decreased in the am'endment area over
20% while sales in the City increased over 11 % over the last 3 years. .

In response to Councilmemoer Marshall's concern with regard to inadequate parking on
some of the properties in the proposed amendment area, staff stated in part that, the
Agency's Commercial Facade Rehao Program will De aole to assist the properly owners or
the merchants to re-design their parking lot. Further, staff stated that, oased upon the
advice of the Agency's consultant, the proposed Project Area Amendment does not
include the new Ralph's, Aloertson's or Save-On stores since these are not olighted.

General Fund can not be used for redevelopr:lfmt purposes, it is usually a separate

Ccnsiderable discussion ensued. Kurt Yeager of Stradling, Yocca, Cartson and Rauth, the
Agency and City bond counsel, stated thstthis structure involved a leveraging of a portion
of the Agency's existing tax increment, it is structured based on the projected tax
Increment for this year and is not anticipating any increase. Further, Mr. Yeager explained
in detail the callable feature of the bond issue, stating in part, that bonds can be made
non-callable which will limit the paying off or' ro-financing of the bonds. It would be typical
in a bond issue to put in a call p'rotection that would last for a certain number of years, after
which the bond can be called to the premium.
Considerable discussion ensued concluded by the following motion, it was MOVED by
