The Closed Session concluded at 5:20 p.m, STUDY SESSION On June 19, 2001, the City Council met in a study session to consider information related to the Santa Anita Village Homeowners Association proposal to add a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 35% to the Association's (HOA) design guidelines. And, to discuss options regarding the circulation of a petition within the Village HOA and a ballot to determine interest in a FAR, Two of the questions raised at the June 19th meeting centered on the ballot process and the percentage of approximately 640 properties", a two-third "yes" vote of all of the properties or a two-thirds "yes" vote of all ballots returned in favor of a FAR. In addition, if 66% approved, the appropriate action would be initiated and public hearings scheduied before the Planning Commission and the City Council. As a result of this discussion, a study session was scheduled for this date, July 3rd, to allow time to rethink a fair way to conduct the voting process and resolve the issue of percentage. In the discussion of a voting process Council felt the ballots should be mailed by certified mail with a return receipt to the City; a stamped return envelope provided; one vote per property; four weeks would be allowed for the initial voting period; four additional weeks for staff to follow.up on those that did not respond, to encourage them to vote; at the conciusion of the eight weeks the entire voting process would end and the vote counted. Potential problems were discussed; 1 713/01 ROll. CAlL BI <10 c/\ 43:0131 absent property owners; voter apathy; change of property ownership; multiple owners; multi- linguistic information; an advisory ballot measure; ballots not returned deemed a "no" vote; cross I reference returned ballots to property location; control of the voting process in general. The City Manager commented that staff could write the text, content and form, and explain the process, This would be presented to Council around August 1st. The materials would be mailed to property owners after school reopens in the fall. Considerable discussion ensued in connection with the percentage of "yes. votes Council would require in order to trigger the process for Council consideration of a FAR regulation for the Village area, Several Council persons felt a two-third "yes. vote of the entire 640+ parcels was' necessary. Mr, Jim Kelly, a member of the Village Architectural Review Board (ARB), commented, the Village HOA Board would not participate if Council decides that every property owner must return the ballot. This has never happened in any vote in the United States. The Board has overwhelming community support in this matter of a FAR. Mr. Kelly spoke at length of the efforts of the HOA Board and, in particular, the ARB to uphold the standards and character of the Village area, He commented that the 35% FAR represents a reasonable modification to the design overlay of the Village area and would provide needed guidelines for the ARB when considerating projects, Mr. Kelly mentioned also, for those requesting a larger dwelling footprint there are levels of variance for which they could apply, The FAR would give the ARB a tool work with. Mayor Segal commented that he believes a FAR would have a negative impact on property values. Other Council expressed concern of residents in the Village area not comprehending what the I imposition of a FAR would mean to them, until they wished to sell their property. Jim Kelly proposed a series of one of more educational meetings for property owners in the Village; flyers to be distributed and door-to-door contact. He believes education is the key, The Board will inform every person of what is at stake, The HOA Board believes they can get an 80% voter turn out in the Village and two-thirds will vote in favor of the 35% FAR. Referencing the voting process, Council member Chandler commented that he does not feel comfortable with a vote of less than two-thirds of the 640 property owners, Council member Chang agreed because of the effect on property values. Laurie Thompson, Chairperson of the Village ARB, stated in part that it would not be fair to count a non-voter as a "no. vote, She believes this would not be legal. Following the discussion, it was MOVED by Councilmember Chandler, seconded by Councilmember Chang, to REQUIRE a two-third majority of the property owners in the Village Area to vote "yes. to impose a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) on properties within the Village HOA area, AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Chandler and Chang Mayor Pro tem Marshall and Mayor Segal Councilmember Kovacic TIE VOTE The motion FAILED.

In addition staff recommended that the City Council/Agency continue the joint meeting to July 10, 2001, at which time approval several resolutions related thereto would be considered and adopted and an ordinance introduced, In summary, Peter Kinnahan, Economic Development Administrator presented an historical overview of the process related to the South Arcadia Project area, The City Council and Redevelopment Agency have been working since August 1999 gathering information relevant to the possible addition of the economically and physically depressed South Arcadia business district into the existing 256 acre Central Redevelopment Project Area, After review of the consultant's Phase 1 report on the existence of blight and the economic feasibility of a redevelopment project area amendment, the Agency/Council directed staff in August 2000 to proceed with Phase 2, the formal amendment process, The consultants, staff and the City Attorney/Agency Counsel have therefore, in accordance with State law and Agency/City Guidelines, prepared the legal boundaries of the proposed 75 acre amendment area, prepared " 5 7/3/01 " 43:0135 the Preliminary Plan, the Preliminary Report, the Report to the City Council, and the actual amendment NO.5 to the Central Redevelopment Project set forth in the July 3, 2001 staff report, I and submitted as required to the Planning Commission, Project Area Committee, Agency Board and/or the City Council. Certain of these reports document the existence of both physical and economic blight. Several capital improvement and business incentive projects totaling $6 million are proposed to eliminate or reduce this blight. During the 30-year term of the amendment, the Agency anticipates the development of 50 residential units and 257,000 sq. ft, of commercial uses in the amendment area. Also during this 30-year period the amendment area is expected to generate $11 million in total gross revenues, $8,2 million net in property tax after all statutory pass-through moneys are paid to taxing agencies. Of this $8,2 million, $2,2 million (20% of the gross tax increment) must be spent for low/moderate income housing, leaving approximately $6 million for redevelopment programs and projects, The Agency has further provided information on the proposed amendment to South Arcadia merchants and businesses and the public, and the environmental impacts of the amendment. Based upon an Initial Study for the Amendment Area an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared. There are three significant environmental impacts which cannot be eliminated or mitigated to a level of insignificance: Direct and cumulative air quality, cumulative solid waste, and direct exposure to flood hazard, The consultant has prepared a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program which sets forth certain actions and procedures the Agency and City will take or follow to reduce as much as possible the adverse environmental impacts of the amendment area development. Denise Bickerstaff, Keyser Marston Associates, presented an overview of the goals and analytical report describing the proposed amendment and presence of economic and physical blight in the South Arcadia Project Area. Ms, Bickerstaff stated in part, amendment NO.5 to the I Central Redevelopment Plan will add approximately 75 acres to the existing Downtown Central Redevelopment Project with the idea of alleviating some of the existing blight conditions, Several blocks of commercial and industrial buildings are either empty, underutilized or have unattractive uses. Numerous sub-areas have parking deficiencies, inadequate lots or building size, and incompatible uses in close proximity, Adoption of Amendment No, 5 will help support existing businesses and attract new businesses to the area, Over the long term it will improve property values and increase sales tax revenues to the City, Mayor Segal OPENED the public hearing, Joan Schmidt, read a letter from Carolyn Ziegler-Davenport, Monrovia, Arcadia, Duarte Town Council member, urging the Council/Agency Members to approve the proposed South Arcadia Project Area Amendment. She felt that the proposed redevelopment plan will encourage beautification and reinvestment, by existing businesses, Raleioh Philo, 54 year resident of South Arcadia, spoke in favor of the South Arcadia Redevelopment Project Area and urged the Council/Agency Members to look at the long term impact this project will have on both the businesses and private sectors, Lee Shimmin, former president, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, stated in part, in order to clean up the area, the overall plan is very necessary. He felt the Redevelopment Agency should take charge and make this happen, Adolf Mav, Arcadia resident and business owner, serving the community for almost 20 years, stated in part that, if the proposed pian passes he would like to be included in this project and be guaranteed to have an equal size building and lot size. I 6 ,I 7/3/01 . ~., :t"f',i,' ~. '( 1'5, '. ....., .... ~. 43:0136 I Dianne Chaoman, President, Arcadia Chamber of Commerce, stated that this area has been overlooked by Los Angeles County and has been a blighted area for at least 20 years, Many businesses have moved out or closed due to the blight, and many have not located there, The Arcadia Chamber of Commerce is supporting the City Council and Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and voicing disappointment in the decision by the Board of Supervisors to decline using redevelopment funds for this area, On behalf of the Chamber she urged the Board of Supervisors to reconsider it's decision and allocate funds for this area and for the proposed amendment. Jean Bums Hvndel, an Arcadia resident and an attorney representing some property owners on Live Oak Avenue, questioned the type of plans that will be available for the existing property owners, as far as compensation if they can be incorporated in the new plan? Mike Uostill, Arcadia unincorporated area resident, would like to know how this project will affect the County area residents? City Clerk June Alford noted that the City/Agency received three written objections to the proposed South Arcadia Amendment from following residents; summarized as follows: The first written objection was from FL Berberian, owner of 121-159 North Santa Anita Avenue and 125 East Santa Clara Street. Mr, Berberian states he has owned these properties for more than 25 years, The properties are fully occupied, attractive and well maintained, Mr. Berberian states that he strongly denies the existence of blight on or around his properties on Santa Anita and Santa Clara, In addition, Mr. Berberian has submitted a petition with his letter containing the signatures of his 25 tenants, who oppose any further redevelopment of these properties on Santa Anita and Santa Clara. I The second communication was a memorandum from Seifel Consulting, Inc., to Mr. Zimmerman, Assistant Division Chief, Office of Unincorporated Area Services and Special Projects, Seifel Consulting Inc, prepared the memorandum in collaboration with Los Angeles County staff. In its executive summary Seifel Consulting summarized its analysis of the City of Arcadia's preliminary report for the Amendment No, 5 to the Central Redevelopment Project, Seifel states in part that, "the documentation presented in the preliminary report does not appear to be sufficient to meet the requirements of California Redevelopment Law concerning the existence of blight, the nexus between redevelopment activities and blight alleviation, and the necessity for redevelopment. Additional information is needed to meet these requirements.' The third written statement of objections was received from'Mr, David Janssen, the Los Angeles County, Chief Administrative Officer, Mr, Janssen stated in part, "the document presented in the preliminary report does not appear to be adequate "to meet the requirements of California Redevelopment Law concerning the,.. existence of blight, the nexus between redevelopment activities and blight alleviations, and the necessity for redevelopment in the entire area, Mr, Jenson's letter further noted that the County does not believe that tax increment generated from the Central Redevelopment Project Area should be diverted to non-blighted areas, as the County believes will occur, if the proposed Amendment NO.5 is approved. ' City Attorney Deitsch noted that both the second and third written objection documents were submitted by the County of Los Angeles. The first written objection was filed by a business owner outside of the proposed South Arcadia amendment area, I It was MOVED by Council member Chandler, seconded by Council member Chang and CARRIED to CLOSE the public hearing. 7 7/3/01 MOTION ARA RES.
