TO: ARCADIA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ARCADIA PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DONNA L. BUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PRESERVATION OF LARGE LOT NEIGHBORHOODS
Concern has been expressed regarding new single-family subdivisions and lot
splits proposed in areas generally zoned R-1 7,500 sq. ft. which are
characterized by predominantly larger single-family lots, i.e., the Baldwin
Stocker area and areas between Holly and Baldwin Avenues, etc.
Last year the City Council, in response to concerns expressed by residents in
certain neighborhoods within the Lower Rancho and the Oaks areas, rezoned
two areas developed with lots larger than the underlying R-0 and D 15,000
zoning to R-0 and D 22,000.
The Planning Commission in reviewing the General Plan has expressed a
desire to further preserve the large lot neighborhoods. Staff suggested that
the following be added to the General Plan:
Objective:
Discourage the subdividing of predominantly large lot neighborhoods
into smaller lots incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
Policy:
Where residents of the area wish to maintain the character and
integrity of the neighborhood, encourage the preservation of the large
lots.
Action Program:
The Planning Commission and the City Council should identify the
single-family neighborhoods which are developed predominantly with
large lots and look into the adoption of measures to preserve these
areas.

At the request of the Planning Commission or City Council the Planning

RECOMMENDATION

Plan. The City Council or Planning Commission may direct staff to review
the zoning of certain areas in the City which might be suitable for a zone
change to a lesser density.

TO: Arcadia Redevelopment Agency
FROM: v Peter P. Kinnahan, Assistant City Manager for Economic
Development
SUBJECT: Request by Stanley W. Gribble & Associates for Time
Extension for Parcel D (Olive Garden) .
Background
On November 7, 1989, the developer of the Southside Project,
Stanley W. Gribble & Associates, requested and was granted a one
year time extension for the completion of a restaurant on Parcel
-
D (see Site Map, Attachment 1, and Amendment No. 2 to the
Disposition and Development Agreement, Attachment 2) .
After Amendment No. 2_ was approved, and as required under the
Amendment the Developer submitted tothe Agency.a Time
Certificate of Deposit for S$25, 000 to be�,drawn-down in the event
that the Developer has--not substantially completed the
construction of `the restaurant by November 10, 1990.
Substantially-completed is defined as "completion of the
construction of the framing and shell of all buildings (including
the roof) and the commencement of construction of tenant
improvements" .
Amendment No. 2 additionally stipulated that $15, 000 in
liquidated_damagesbe assessed the Developer for each additional
six months period_after-November - 10,_1990 during which the
Developer ot has n substantially completed construction of Parcel
Request for Time Extension •
On October 9, 1990 we received a letter from the Developer
requesting a further extension of one-hundred-eighty (180) days
� for the -substantial completion of the Parcel D restaurant (see
Letter, Attachment 3) .
The Developer cites the following as reasons for this request:
—General Mills, Inc. had to design a new two-story
prototype Olive Garden Restaurant to accommodate the Arcadia
site; therefore the plans took considerably longer to
complete.
- The plans were submitted in June and General Mills, Inc.
is currently waiting for a building permit. (The Planning
LASER IMAGED ,1111,
Department informed us that the length of time that has
passed is average for processing of this type of building
permit application. The Planning Department also indicated
that the Olive Garden plans contained an unusually large
number of items that required correction by the architect. )
Also implied in the Developer' s request for a time extension is a
request that the Agency defer pulling-down the $25, 000 Time
Certificate of Deposit for one-hundred-eighty days (180.) , as well
as the request that the Agency postpone any additional liquidated
damages ($15, 000 every six months) until after this extended one-
hundred-eighty (180) day time period has passed.
The Developer reasons that penalties should be deferred since the
Developer is providing 42 , 000-47, 000 square feet more building
area over. that originally proposed, and the Agency will therefore
benefit from the additional unanticipated tax increment.
j\C 5�51,F 00 0 - ;
The Agency could grant the Developer an additional one-hundred-
eighty (180) day extension for substantial completion of the
construction of the Parcel D restaurant (through May 10, 1991)
and consider the following options in descending order of burden
to the developer: (with the condition that we are not waiving any
rights regardless of what option is selected)
Q Draw-down the $25, 000_ Certificate of Deposit, and require
Developer to provide a new $15, 000 six-month Certificate
of Deposit as per Amendment No. 2 of the DDA, or
bPraw-down a portion of the $25, 000 Certificate of Deposit
ow, (e.g. $5, 000, $10, 000) , and require the Developer to
provide new $25, 000 Certificate of Deposit; or
"(Oh 'equire the Developer to extend the existing $25, 000
rtificate of Deposit and provide a new $15, 000 six-months
Certificate of Deposit both due in one-hundred-eighty (180)
days. If the Parcel D Restaurant is not substantially
complete by the end of this time period, the Agency would
draw-down all amounts retroactively owed the Agency to date
under the DDA and this amendment ($40, 000) , and require the
Developer to post a second Certificate of Deposit for
$15, 000 to cover the next six-months period; or
\I'Vdigi the Developer to extend the $25, 000 Certificate
of Deposit for one-hundred-eighty (180) days with no
penalties incurred.
There are of course other variations but staff has attempted to
list the "clearest" options for your consideration.
Whatever option is selected by the Agency, the Developer should
be required to submit any new or extended Certificates of Deposit
LASER IMAGED
(o'f Letters of Credit) to the Agency by November 10, 1990. Also,
any Certificate of Deposit (or Letter of Credit) should carry an
expiration date of no less than 45 days beyond the date that the
Certificate can be drawn-down by the Agency (ie, June 30, 1991) .
Discussion
It is clear to staff that the developer and Olive Garden have
been sincerely working over the last year to implement this
restaurant development per the amended DDA Schedule. However,
both the Agency and City have lost revenue as a result of the
delay.
Should the Agency elect to draw down any or all of the $25, 000,
this is in effect an advance payment by the developer of any
Participation Payment which the developer will have to pay the
Agency in 1993 according to a formula in the DDA. In other
words, the Developer may have to pay this amount sooner or later.
Agency Special Counsel and the Agency Attorney have reviewed this
staff report.

Date ____11/7/89
TOD: Arcadia Redevelopment Agency
FROM: Joyce Friedmann, Economic Development Assistant -
SUBJECT: Request for Approval of Amendment No. 2 to the
Disposition and Development Agreement by and Between
the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and Stanley W. Gribble
and Associates
Background
The original Disposition and Development Agreement for the
Southside Project, requires the developer to complete
construction of Parcel D (see Attachment I, Site Map) within two
years after the close of escrow (11/10/87) .
Although Stanley W. Gribble and Associates have been acting in
good faith in their efforts to find a restaurant tenant, they do
not yet have a signed lease for the Parcel, and have requested a
time extension of one year.
Amendment No. 2
Staff and Agency Special Counsel, Steve Deitsch, have reviewed.
this request and concur that a one year extension is justified.
Amendment No. 2 to the DDA (Attachment II) was therefore
developed to grant the one year extension, and at the same time
protect the Agency by setting forth specific remedies in case the
Developer does not substantially complete construction of Parcel
D within the one year extension period.
Following is a summary of the main points of Amendment 2 :
1. The Developer must substantially complete construction of
the Parcel D Restaurant on or before 11/10/90,
2 . If construction is not substantially complete by
11/10/90, then the Developer shall pay the ARA $25, 000 in
liquidated damages,
3. The Developer must submit to the ARA within 10 days of
ARA approval of this Amendment a $25, 000 direct letter of
credit or certificate of deposit, to be drawn down after
11/10/90,
4. The $25, 000, if drawn down by the ARA, will go towards
the Adjustment of Initial Disposition Price (AIDP) , if the
vaEACHMENT2=.
LASER IMAGED 4L1
AIDP is greater than $25, 000;
The DDA states that six years after the close of escrow, the
ARA may be entitled to a participation payment based on the
market value of the development. A special formula
including market value, less developer's costs and profit,
as defined, was negotiated and is contained within the DDA
for performing this calculation. Any additional monies due
the ARA as a result of this calculation have been termed the
"Adjustment of Initial Disposition price" .
5. Further, the Developer shall pay the ARA an additional
$15, 000 in liquidated damages for each six month period
after November 10, 1990 that the developer has not
substantially completed construction of Parcel D. A $15, 000
Letter of Credit or Certificate of Deposit shall be provided
by the Developer. These additional amounts shall also be
credited towards the AIDP, as explained in Item No. 4 ,
above.
This report has been reviewed and approved by both Mike Miller -
and Steve Deitsch.
Recommendation
That the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency approve Amendment No. 2 to
the Disposition and Development Agreement by and Between the
Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and Stanley W. Gribble and
Associates, and authorize execution by the Executive Director,
subject to minor revisions approved by the Agency Attorney and
Executive Director.

submits a certificate of deposit to the Agency hereunder, then in
the event that the Successor Developer fails to satisfy its
obligations to complete construction of improvements on Parcel D

receive all interest earned on the certificate of deposit
following the date that the Successor Developer was required to
complete such construction. .

Successor Developer ' s failure to satisfactorily meet its
obligations to complete construction of improvements on Parcel D

Developer to meet its obligations hereunder .

Re: Amendment No. 2 to the Disposition and Development Agreement
Arcadia Gateway Centre
Arcadia, California
Dear Pete:
This letter is being written as a request for an extension of one hundred eighty (180) days,
to be granted by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency, pursuant to Amendment No. 2 to
the Disposition and Development Agreement by and between the Arcadia Redevelopment
Agency and Arcadia Gateway Centre Associates, Ltd., the successor developer.
Pete, as you are aware, we diligently tried to lease Pad D with both our own leasing
personnel and outside brokerage. We gave an exclusive to the San Gabriel Valley office
of Grubb & Ellis, who diligently pursued the acquisition of a tenant and leasing of the Pad
during the years of 1988 and a portion of 1989. In early 1989, we granted an agreement
to Craig Michel, of the Metropolitan Group. The Metropolitan Group is one of the
foremost and leading restaurant representatives in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. We
had interest from several restaurant tenants, i.e., Hank Yost, owner of the Salt Shaker and
Peppermill chain, Red Robin Restaurants, Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi
Restaurant, Tony Roma's (only as leverage to consummate a very favorable deal across
the street), and Coco's Family Restaurant. Several of these tenants felt that there was
too much food and beverage in the local area and, therefore, not enough patronage to go
around.
However, in the summer, early fall of 1989, we began working with the Olive Garden
Restaurant. It was at thi$`time that we discovered, in order to keep In tact our parking,
we could not accommodate a single-story restaurant of over approximately 7,000 square
feet. Olive Garden being one of the leading chain restaurants in the country, owned by
Gerleral Mills, Inc., had a new prototype which was approximately 8,500 - 9,000 square
feet, single story. This, of course, would not fit on our Pad without alleviating
approximately 10 stalls in either the front or rear of the building. This was not prudent
planning, therefore, Olive Garden, in order to accommodate the site, proposed a restaurant
building with a ground floor of 6,250 square feet and a mezzanine of approximately 3,000
square feet, with 285 sit-down seats. With the cooperation of the City, we were able to
receive approval for this restaurant in the early part of 1990.

The proposed Olive Garden Restaurant, not being a prototype, had to create through their
Architectural Department a two-story restaurant. We executed the Lease In mid-February
of 1990 and they immediately began working on their plans and specifications. Once
again, as I reiterate, this was a unique restaurant for them, having not done this concept
before and, therefore, the plans took considerable time. The plans were submitted to the
City of Arcadia in early June, 1990 and, as of this date, they have been unable to obtain
a Building Permit.
As you know, Pete, the Agency agreed as per Section 7 of Amendment No. 2 to the DDA -
to help with its best efforts to expedite approval by the City of Arcadia with any and all
plans for improvements on Pad D. It has been a very lengthy process with two of the
main time consuming factors to be approval by your outside consultant for the structural
portion of the building, and some mis-communication between departments with'regard
to the setback from the property line by Bennigan's Restaurant. Olive Garden has a one-
hour rated wall and is 13 feet from the property line. Why the Bennigan's situation
became a determining factor in the approval of Olive Garden, I still fail to see.
Pete, I believe that as of this date, October 9th, 1990, we have resolved all problems
pertaining to Olive Garden obtaining their permit. They have hired a contractor and, upon
approval and receipt of the Building Permit by the City, will 'go to work Immediately.
However, there is no feasible way that completion of the framing and shell of the building,
including roof structure, will be in place by November 10th. This is the reason we are
asking for the 180 day extension.
When we first started drafting site plans and proposals for Arcadia Gateway"Centre, we
had plans that ranged from 134,000 to 139,000 square feet of buildings. We now have
achieved over 181,000 square feet .of buildings, with construction costs of the
improvements and tenant Interior improvements (furniture and fixtures) of a much greater
value than that which was originally proposed. Therefore, the City will be receiving a
larger sum of tax Incremet than that which was on the original. pro-formas during the
times of negotiation for the ERN and DDA.
It is my understanding that the Council/Agency will be meeting on Tuesday, October 16th,
1990 and I would appreciate being on the Agenda for that evening to have this matter
considered. -
