BUTLER, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - PROPERTY MAINTENANCE ORDINANCE The City Council at its study session meeting on May 12, 1992, directed staff to proceed with a text amendment revising the property maintenance-regulations to: (1) add provisions to the code prohibiting the parking of vehicles on unpaved areas in the commercial and industrial zones, and (2) clarify the wording regarding maintenance of parkway areas. The changes as set forth below will assist the Code Enforcement Officers in more effectively enforcing the code. Commercial/Industrial Vehicle Parking Recently, the City's Code Enforcement Officers have been encountering numer us problems with vehicles parking on vacant, unpaved surfaces in the commercial and industrial zones (predominantly in the Chicago Park area). Neither the City's property maintenance regulations or zoning regulations address the parking of vehicles on unpaved areas in the commercial and industrial zones. Currently, Section 9405.14b of the Property Maintenance and Nuisance Abatem nt Division of the Municipal Code addresses parking on unpaved surfaces in the residential zones as set forth below: "It shall be unlawful for any person to park any vehicle on unpaved surf.ces on the front or side yards of any property used or zoned for residential purposes." The Police Department enforces the above regulation in the residential zone by ticketing vehides parked on unpaved surfaces. However, they do not have the authority to ticket vehicles parked on unpaved areas in the commercial and industrial zones. Because of the increasing problem with vehicles (especially large trucks) parking on vacant lots in the commercial and industrial zones, the Planning Department is Ordinance Amendment June 16 1992 Page 1 3 LASER IMAGED is • recommending that the following section be added to the "Property Maintenance Regulations". 9405. SUBSTANDARD, UNLAWFUL CONDITIONS, DUTIES. 17.a. Vehicles parked or stored on front or side yards or on any part of property used or zoned for commercial and/or industrial purposes, other than on a lawfully installed paved surface. This Subsection shall not be subject to the requirements of Section 9406 and any Notice and Order given pursuant to this Subsection shall become final for purposes of Section 94013(a) within the time period specified by the Building Official in the Notice and Order". b. It shall be unlawful for any person to park any, trailer, camper, boat or any other motor vehicle on unpaved surfaces of any property used or zo ed for commercial or industrial purposes." The above amendment will enable both the Code Enforcement Division and th- Police Department to more effectively deal with the blighting effect that such parking may have on the surrounding commercial and industrial properties. Maintenance of Parkway Areas It has always been the policy of the City that maintenance of parkway areas with the exception of parkway trees are the responsibility of the adjoining property owner. Part 8 of Section 9405 "Substandard, Unlawful Conditions, Duties" reads: "Weeds or dead vegetation on the premises or adjacent parkways." However, under the provisions of Section 9405.1, which refer to "Prohibitions, Duties--Buildings, Premises and Sidewalks" it only references "sidewalks" and oes not reference parkway areas. The Planning Department is proposing that "parkways" (italicized ) be included in the above Section to make the intent of the code clear and that "dead trees" be deleted. The Public Works' Department maintains all trees in the parkway area . In order to preclude any misinterpretation of the code, it is recommended that wording be added to clarify that property owners are not permitted to cut or remove parkway trees. 9405.1. PROHIBITIONS, DUTIES---BUILDINGS, PREMISES AND SIDEWALKS. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to fail, refuse, or neglect to keep the sidewalk and parkways in front of his house, place of business, or premises in a clean and wholesome condition." Ordinance Amendment June 16! 1992 Page 2 LASER IMAGED 19 (c) It shall be unlawful for any owner, agent of the owner, lessee, occupant or person in possession of any lot, parcel, tract or piece of land, improved or unimproved, located in the City to maintain upon such premises or upon the sidewalk and parkways abutting or adjoining such lot, parcel, tract or piece of land, all loose earth, mounds of soil, dry grass, weeds, d^ , tin cans, abandoned asphalt or concrete rubbish, refuse and waste material of any kind or other unsanitary substance, object or condition w ich may endanger or injure neighboring property or the health, safety or wel are of the residents of the vicinity of such property lands or lots or which may obstruct such sidewalks and thereby endanger or injure persons traveling thereon." "Nothing in these sections shall be deemed to provide authority or permission to the property owner(s) or his agent(s) to trim ar remove trees within the parkway area." CEQA Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed text amendment. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area aff cted by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise aid objects of historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed text amendment will have any potential for adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon-which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. Attached for the City Council's review and introduction is Ordinance 1971 FINDINGS AND MOTION Approval If the City Council intends to take action to approve this ordinance amendmen the Council should move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find the ordinance amendment will not have a significant effect on the environment and introduce Ordinance 1971. Denial If the City Council intends to take action to deny this ordinance amendment, the Council need only to move for denial (no environmental findings need to be made and no ordinance is required).

LOPEZ, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORK IC SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING MEETING WITH SSUND WALL COMMITTEE BACKGROUND On June 5, 1992, in accordance with City Council direction, s aff met with the Soundwall Committee consisting of 10 property owners to discuss the potential of funding soundwalls through assessments to the benefitting property owners via an assessment district. Councilman Margett was in attendance. In order to "guesstimate" approximate assessments based on benefit, staff presented a hypothetical area of six tiers (as shown or the attached sketch) to arrive at an equitable spread of costs. Each tier represents a depth of 100 feet parallel to the Cal rans eligible soundwall from Second Avenue to the easterly (City boundary. Based on the hypothetical area and a range of $35d per lineal foot ($555, 000 total) to $480 per lineal foot ($760, 000 total) , the range of cost per house was calculated to be an average of $2,500 for the farthest (within 600 feet) tier and an average of $15, 000 for the nearest (within 100 feet) tier. Based on the aforementioned assumptions plus 33% for assessment district incidental costs (administration, bond counsel, finaicial advisor, and engineering consultant) , staff determined the range of cost per house per year for 15 years at 7% interest. The range of assessment was calculated to be an average of $350 per year for the farthest tier and an average of $2,200 per year for the nearest tier. The range of cost per house per year for 24 years t 7% interest would be approximately $300 for the farthest tie and $1,750 for the nearest tier. The range of cost per house per year for 39 years would be approximately $250 for the farthest tie and $1,500 for the nearest tier. FINDINGS Feedback obtained from the property owners in attendance indi ated ,-) that in order to obtain a soundwall in the near future, the C'ty of Arcadia should assume most, if not all, of the costs. FUNDING ALTERNATIVES Staff has identified the following funding alternatives: 1. Wait until Caltrans funds the eligible soundwalls, i.e. , Westbound 210 freeway from Don Pablo Drive to Baldwin Avenue ($350, 000 to $480, 000) and Eastbound 210 Freeway from Second Avenue to East City boundary ($555, 000 to $760, 000) . (Could be 10 to 20 years) .LASER IMAGED MI• 73 2. Wait until EIR of the proposed Blue Line is drafte to see if soundwalls would be required as mitigation. 3. Have staff research availability of various grants for funding soundwalls (not too promising) . 4. City funds entire expense of Soundwalls. (Cost of eligible soundwall would, at sometime in the future be reimbursed by Caltrans with no interest) . 5. Property owners fund entire expense of soundwalls. ( my Engineering and construction costs of eligible soundwall would, at sometime in the future, be reimbursed by Caltrans with no interest through the City of Arcadia) . 6. City and property owners share in funding the entire expense of soundwalls. (Only Engineering and Construction costs of eligible soundwall would, at sometime in future, be reimbursed by Caltrans with no interest through the City of Arcadia) . 7. City, and/or property owners, and Caltrans share in funding the entire expense of Caltrans eligible soundwalls. (This would advance the relative positions on Caltrans' list of eligible soundwalls, however, no costs of eligible soundwalls would be reimburse by Caltrans) . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council set a date and time certain for a study session to discuss funding alternatives and to receive input from interested Arcadia residents and the Soun.wall Committee.

'A0ot'OUT'9��a _ DATE: 6/16/92 TO: Arcadia Redevelopment Agency T'0 FROM: f), Peter P. Kinnahan, Assistant City Manager for JUN 1 6 1992 Economic Development SUBJECT: Proposed State Cuts in Redevelopment Funds COUNCIL The California Redevelopment Association (CRA) forwarded to the Agency the attached "Legislative Alert. " The State Legislative Budget Committee is proposing 4 actions, two of which could significantly impact the Agency's financial capabilities, both short and long term, if the proposals are ultimately passed and withstand judicial scrutiny. The paragraphs on the Alert are numbered for ease of reference and correspond to the following discussion. 1. Moratorium on New and Amended Project Areas - No impact at this time on Arcadia. 2. Sweeping Redefinition of Debt - The State proposes to take some of the Agency's tax increment beginning this July and apparently transfer it to the schools and the counties. We expect to receive $2, 300, 000 in FY 92-93 . Any reduction in tax increment will affect the Agency's ability to carry out its adopted projects and if continued into the future would reduce our bonding capacity. 3 . Transfer to State of Counties of Agencies "Unreserved" Monies - As Jim Dale understand the definition of "unreserved" , it appears that Arcadia's funds will not be affected. However, we will monitor this to see if a new definition or interpretation emerges that -could affect Arcadia's redevelopment fund balance (Currently $1, 580, 000) . 4. Tax Increment Passed Through to School Districts - The State is proposing that it no longer pay to the local school district the monies it "loses" as a result of the redevelopment process. If this occurs, quite probably the Arcadia School District will turn to the City and Agency to pass these monies through to them. This would be approximately 25% of our annual tax increment ($575, 000) . LASER IMAGED Arcadia Redevelopment Agency June 16, 1992 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Staff proposes to prepare correspondence for signature by both the Chairman and the Acting Executive Director explaining the impact of such legislation on Arcadia and asking that the Budget Committee seek other sources of funds.
