On February 2. 1999, the City Council adopted Resolution 6101 amending the General
Plan designation on this property from Mixed Use Commercial/Multiple Family (MU
C/MF) to Mixed Use Commercialllndustrial (MU CII), The property is currently zoned
CPD-1 which is consistent with the General Plan Designation of Mixed Use
Commercialllndustrial. This property has some unique characteristics that are not
typical to most sites in the City, The uses surrounding the site are predominantly
industrial (the Edison sub station and the City water tanks) or public use in nature (the
210 Freeway overpass and the flood control channel),
During the past year, the appiicant has been exploring the possibility of a public storage
facility that would be aesthetically pleasing and architecturally compatible with other
commercial developments in the area, The applicant requested a change in the CPD-l
zoning designation to CoM (Commercial-Manufacturing) to allow more flexibility in the
types of uses permitted including any use permitted in the C-2 zone; wholesale
businesses, storage buildings and warehouses, In addition. the CoM zone allows certain
light manufacturing uses as identified in the zoning regulations,

Consideration of report and recommendation to approve a water rate adjustment for FY
1999-2000 by adopting Resolution No, 6112 entitled: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA. SETTING CITY WATER
RATES AND FINDING THE RATES WILL NOT EXCEED THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT
NECESSARY TO FUND OPERATION OF THE CITY WATER SYSTEM."
Based upon the Public Works Services Department's proposed 1999-2000 budget and
the Water Master Plan, it was recommended that the City Council consider adjusting
the water rate by 2.2%, from $1,07 to $1.09 per 100 cubic feet. The Department also
recommended a 10% adjustment in the bimonthly service charge.
It has been the policy of the City Council to have staff project future infrastructure and
financial needs to operate and maintain a reliable water system, This policy allows the
City to generate necessary funding by smaller rate adjustments on a yearly basis as
opposed to larger adjustments at less frequent intervals, The Water Master Plan was
formally approved by the City Council on February 10,1997,
The proposed expenditures for the Water Operating Budget for 1999-2000 are
$6.309,310 which is 1,3% lower than the current year's budget, excluding the $550,000
proposed addition to the "Masters and Service Connections" account. This service is
used for developer-paid water installation and is completely offset by revenue received.
Mr, Malloy noted that staff conducted a survey of the water rates of eight neighboring
water agencies which is setforth in June 15, 1999 staff report. As shown in the survey
Arcadia's new average bimonthly water bill would be $73,52 as compared to the current
average bill of $71,34 (an annual increase of $13,08), The average water bill for the
eight neighboring water agencies was $79,50,

month per connected residential property and from $6.00 to $6.13 per month per
connected business property. The Capital Improvement Program for the next two years
will result in capital expenditures of $276,700 in 1999-2000 and $263,000 in 2000-2001,

SANTA ANITA Consideration of the report and recommendation to approve the size and location of two
PARK - TWO stairway/elevator towers proposed on the front fa9ade at Santa Anita Park.
STAIRWAY/
ELEVATOR
TOWERS
Santa Anita Park is proposing to renovate the grandstand area of Santa Anita Park that
will include a new deck to accommodate a restaurant near the top of the stands, In a
11
6/15/99
41:0156
(Race Track)
memorandum dated May 27, 1999, Santa Anita indicated the need for vertical
circulation, and the unique nature of the restaurant has resulted in the design of two
stairways and elevator towers on the front fa9ade of the grandstand, The restaurant
and bar area will have approximately 25,000 sq. ft, The towers are approximately 45'
square and 84' in height. The towers will be stucco painted to match the existing
grandstands and are designed to be compatible with the existing building, Future
development will incorporate the towers into a grand master plan that will allow the
towers to serve both the existing grandstand and any future development.
I
The Development Services Department has some concerns with the overall design of
the towers, Although the towers will be painted to match the building and have
incorporated some of the design eiements of the existing bUiiding, it is staff's opinion
that more architecturai treatment is necessary to provide a balance with the existing
structures,
Following the staff presentation, Greg Tate, Santa Anita Project Manager, responded to
concerns expressed by the Council regarding architectural enhancements and future
development.
Mayor Pro tem Harbicht stated. in part, that he does not have any problem with the
architecture of the facade. however, he would like to see the horse theme carried out to
some extend on the front of the towers to preserve the elements of the track that are
visible from a distance, Also. Mr. Harbicht stated that he would like to see the master
plan for the Santa Anita Project.
Councilmember Marshall stated, in part, that she is in favor of the size and location of
the towers, She would also like to see the towers blend with the existing grandstand,
Councilmember Kovacic agreed with Mr. Harbicht's comments and he also would like to
see the master plan for this project.
I
MOTION NO, 1 It was MOVED by Mayor Pro tem Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Marshall and
CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE the size and location of the towers,
subject to the condition that Santa Anita continue to work with the Development
Services Department to enhance the exterior elevations of the towers to incorporate
more elements of the existing buildings and that said final design shall be presented to
the City Council for final review and approval.
