TO: ARCADIA CITY COUNCIL

DONNA L. BUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
THREE YEAR COOPERATION AGREEMENT
JULY 1, 1991 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1994
On June 29 the City received a letter from the Community Development
Commission (CDC) regarding the City's interest in continuing its participation in
the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant Program.
The City currently has a three year cooperation agreement with the County which
expires June 30, 1991. A new agreement must be executed to continue participation
with the County from 1991 through 1994.
The Community Development Commission is requesting responses from the 46
participating cities no later than July 20, 1990.
Cities with populations of less than 50,000 participate in the HUD program and
receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds through the County
of Los Angeles Community Development Commission (CDC). Since 1976 the City
has participated in the CDBG program with the CDC.
. Cities with populations in excess of 50,000 may become entitlement cities and
participate directly with the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) for CDBG funds.
The State Department of Finance's January, 1990 population estimate for the City of
Arcadia was 49,800±. Upon tabulation of the 1990 Census the City's population may
exceed 50,000.
If the population exceeds 50,000, Arcadia could become an entitlement city. As an
entitlement city, Arcadia might receive approximately 10% more CDBG funds
($23,000 to $25,000).
However, to participate directly with HUD as an entitlement city, the City must,
among other things: (1) provide a Fair Housing assistance program, (2) have an
approved Housing Assistance Plan, (3) monitor for Davis Bacon contract
compliance, etc. If the City were to undertake these tasks, it would involve a
CDBG 1991-1994
July 17, 1990
Page 1 6i•
,
considerable amount of expense and staff time. The additional funds the City would
receive by contracting directly with HUD would not offset the expense of providing
the above required programs. Currently the CDC provides the administration and
assistance in meeting these requirements. This assistance is provided through 'oint
funding of the communities.
The Planning Department recommends that the City continue its participation with
the County for the next three years 1991-1994.
If the City elects to participate with the County, the city cannot drop out of the Urban
County Program during this three year period.
During the past 14 years, the City has funded the following projects with CDBG
money:
• Land Acquisition for the 100 unit Naomi Gardens Senior Citizen Housing
project.
• Home Security program which included the installation of dead bolt locks
and smoke detectors for low/moderate income residents within the City
• Business Revitalization program which included the preparation of a
Downtown Revitalization Study and commercial rehabilitation program.
• Undergrounding of utilities in the alley on the south side of Huntington
Drive between Santa Anita and Second Avenues. This included the
undergrounding of the utility lines and hook-up to the existing buildin is and
the installation of new alley lighting.
• Public Works program for the Downtown area which included the
installation of decorative intersection paving, planting of new street trees and
installation of new street furniture, including benches and trash receptacles.
• Three separate housing rehabilitation programs (one is currently underway)
which have assisted 53 low-moderate income homeowners by providing
grants ranging from $7,500 to $10,000. The current program (1990-1991) will
assist an additional 16 homeowners:
• Several Public Works Lighting Programs which involve the removal of
existing light standards and replacing them with energy efficient lamps.

and Second Avenues.
ACTION
If the City Council wishes to continue its participation in the Los Angeles Urban
County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, the Council
should:
"Approve participation in. the Urban County 1991-1994 Community
Development Block Grant program and authorize the Mayor to execute the

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION
"QUICK MART" CONVENIENCE STORE
Attached is a letter from Kirk G. Downing, attorney for the Landmark Development
Company requesting a determination from the City Council as per Section
9260.1.4.(24) that a "Quick Mart" convenience store is a compatible use in the CPD-1
Zone.
A convenience store by definition in the APA Report No. 421 is any "retail
establishment offering for sale prepackaged food products, household items and
other goods commonly associated with the same and having a gross floor area of
less than 5;000 sq. ft."
BACKGROUND
When the CPD-1 regulations were adopted in 1981, they were designed to primarily
encourage business and professional office uses, financial institutions, and very
limited retail facilities and service-oriented businesses. Other uses were permitted
with an approved Conditional Use Permit such as eating establishments; health
clubs, etc.
In 1985, during the City Council's consideration of development proposals for both
the north and south side of Huntington Drive, it was apparent that the market
conditions were such that consideration should be given to allowing additional
retail uses within this zoning designation. The Council approved Text Amendment
85-2 which allowed for limited commercial retail uses (as noted in Exhibit A). A
convenience store was not included in the permitted uses.
REQUEST
Landmark Development is requesting a determination from the City Council that a
convenience store, i.e., "Quick Mart" is compatible with other uses in the CPD-1
zone and, therefore, should be a permitted use.
CC Report
7/3/90
Page 1
LASER IMAGED `6'.
"Quick Mart" is a retail convenience store which has self-serve fountain drinks and
coffee, convenience foods such as prepared deli-sandwiches, prepared hamburgers,
burritos, chicken and hot dogs warmed up in the microwave, soft service ice cream,
popcorn, nachos, pastries, donuts, etc. (see attached list). Quick Mart also sells
tobacco, beer and wine products.
Mr. Downing has indicated in their June 7 letter that "we desire they [Quick Mart]
establish a business on our premises which will conduct itself in a manner in
conformity with its surroundings and carry a high-end product line (in addition to
their normal product line). We believe this would give Quick Mart more of a
"boutique" flavor."
RECOMMENDATION
As noted in the background information, the original CPD-1 regulations were
adopted to primarily encourage business and professional office uses, financial
institutions, and very limited retail facilities and service oriented businesses. When
the permitted uses were expanded in 1985 no consideration was given to allowing
"convenience stores".
Because the CPD-1 zoned areas are within the Redevelopment Area, Economic
Development has reviewed the proposed request and noted that:
"According to the Redevelopment Plan, this land use designation [CPD-1]
does not allow for either a convenience store or a fast food use. 'Quick Mart'
as described, appears to fall somewhere between these two land use categories.
Agency staff believes that the proposed 'Quick Mart' is not compatible with
the Agency's goals for this part of the Redevelopment Area."
If a "Quick Mart" is permitted in the CPD-1 zone, any type of convenience store
would be allowed, i.e., a Circle K, a 7-11 Store or a mom and pop type convenience
store. The Planning Department does not believe that a convenience store is a
compatible use with the other permitted uses in the CPD-1 zone nor is it consistent
with the intent of the CPD-1 zone to allow only limited types of retail uses. The
Planning Department agrees with the Redevelopment Agency's opinion that a
"Quick Mart" is not a compatible use in the CPD-1 zone.
Attached for the City Council's consideration are the letters from Mr. Downing and
related material.
ACTION
The City Council may:

Re: Arcadia Landmark Property
"Quick Mart"
Dear Mrs. Butler:
I appreciate your prompt response and close attention to our June 07 ,
1990 letter regarding "Quick Mart" . To respond to your requests,
point by point, I would note the following:
1. We request the City Council make a determination that "Quick
Mart" is a compatible use in the CPD-1 zone. We feel Quick
Mart fills a needed niche in our center, and in the area; and
that it would fit in well with other business there.
2 . I enclose literature concerning Quick Mart ' s business operation( s )
and facility type. I believe those documents are self-
explanatory.
3 . There are no existing outlets close to the location in question,
in the general area, or in Arcadia - that we know of.
4 . The proposed square footage is 2 , 400 sq. ft.
5. I note your comments contained at paragraph 5 .
I look forward to your prompt, and hopefully favorable consideration.
I urge you to contact me at your earliest if you have any
questions or comments. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

Re: Arcadia Landmark Property

To the Honorable Mary Young, Charles Gilb, Joseph Ciraulo,
George S. Asching, Robert Harbicht:
Please be advised that I represent Arcadia Landmark's partners, the
developer and managers of the above referenced property. In
conjunction with that representation, I am pleased to inform you
that California Quick Mart has proposed entering into a lease
agreement for space at the Arcadia Landmark Center.
We believe that California Quick Mart would serve a needed niche
within the business community in Arcadia; contribute to a full
lease out of the Landmark Center; and contribute to substantial
sales tax revenues for the City of Arcadia. I believe further that
California Quick Mart represents the "high-end" of quick service
small markets. We have emphasized to Quick Mart the fact that we
desire they establish a business on our premises which will conduct
itself in a manner in conformity with its surroundings and carry
a high-end product line (in addition to their normal product line) .
We believe this would give Quick Mart more of a "boutique" flavor.
This information is being transmitted to you for your perusal and
with our advice that we would be shortly submitting an application

The next time you enter a Convenience Food or Sandwich, Yogurt and Ice Cream
store take a. good look around. You are observing a hot growth industry with
annual sales of over $100 Billion. You are there, helping it grow, because it
is convenient. That is exactly what we sell, Convenience in a upscale gourmet
type environment.
The Convenience Quick Food, Sandwich, Yogurt and Ice Cream stores we install are
an Important factor in this extremely profitable business.
Convenience Food Stores are a product of a nation on the go. In 1957, there were
only about 600 such stores with total sales of over 77 Million. Today there are
more than 83,000 such stores grabbing over 8 percent of the total food shopping
dollar.
Our Industry is virtually recession proof that pays off big. You could be looking
at a pretax net of 11 to 15 percent, after labor has been paid!
There is ample room in the market for us to fill the gap from existing Independent
Operators who want to convert their existing stores ( among the current operators
who belong to the National Association of Convenience Stores, 53 percent are
small-operating less then 10 outlets ) and incoming new operators who want to
become involved with a professional organization that allows them to participate
in a more equitable manner. We also find excellent acceptance from existing
" Franchisees " with our chains who are fed up with being " Over Glorified
Employees."
Currently we are the only organization on the West Coast fulfilling the extensive
demand for a true Independent Owner/Operator Program.
Currently the Industry, as a whole, is lacking in consistent
Quality. With our unwavering requirement on quality in all
areas of operation, strong emphasis on better prepared food
products, the proper balance of inventory, absolute re-
m CALIFORNIA ow quirement for overall neatness and cleanliness, aesthetially
Odd/Mart appealing designs and extensive hands on training and
support of Operators and their staff, we acheive our superior
(R) standards that provides our Operators and us with an
• r excellent competitive edge.
