DATE: October 15, 1992
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: David Feinberg, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Proposition 156: Passenger Rail and Clean Air Bond Act
The passage of Proposition 108 in June 1990 called for a series
of three $1 billion dollar bonding measures to be placed on the
1990, 1992 and 1994 ballots. Proposition 156 is the second of
the three ballot measures.
Los Angeles County is slated to receive approximately $500
million or half of the rail bond measure and an additional $500
if the 1994 measure is approved. Failure of Proposition 156
would also result in the loss of additional State funds since
existing and anticipated revenues would have . to be
reprogrammed. One local example of this type of situation would
be the Metro Blue Line Extension to Pasadena. Approximately
$316,million or 50% of the cost to build the Pasadena extension
is scheduled to receive funding from the proceeds of the
Proposition. If these funds are not received, funds programmed
for future rail extensions, like the Blue Line extension from
Pasadena to Irwindale, would probably be taken.
There would also be a multiplier effect for the local economy
if the bonds are approved. It is estimated that an additional
170, 000 jobs would be created in Southern California involving
rail construction, engineering and related manufacturing.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No,.
5701, supporting the passage of Proposition 156, the Passenger
Rail and Clean Air Bond Act.

PURPOSE OF DESIGN REVIEW •
Actions by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency do not supersede
Building or Zoning regulations. These regulations must be
complied with unless they are modified in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Arcadia Municipal Code.
The purpose of the Agency Design Review is as follows:
1. To give the Agency the opportunity to determine if the use
and design elements of new private projects are in conflict
with those of any Agency projects which are either being
considered or already developed in the same area.
2. To give the Agency the opportunity to incorporate the design
elements of private projects with those of Agency projects
and/or to eliminate or to mitigate any design conflicts at
the earliest stage of the design process.
3. To give the Agency the opportunity to review the preliminary
architectural plans of private projects to insure that they
are not out of character with the area and a hinderance to
future development.
ANALYSIS
A. Design Features:
The applicant proposes to extensively remodel the exterior
of the building. (A colored rendering of this building and
color board are available for viewing in the Economic
Development Department and will be in the City Council
Chambers Conference Room at the Redevelopment Agency
Meeting. )
The new facade features "Miami Peach" stucco with columns
and archways framing the south facing windows and door. Two
"Hunter Green" mansard-style awnings add contrast to the
lighter colored exterior finish; the awning on the south
facade will run the width of the building; the awning on the
north facade will be placed above the rear door.
New metal-grid windows will be installed on the south
facade, while all windows on the rear (north) facade will be
closed off, patched and covered with stucco. Both south and
north exterior doors will be replaced; the south door will
feature a beveled wood design with a semi-circular leaded
glass window.
Two decorative-concrete planter pots 20 inches in diameter
will be placed under each of the south facing windows.

public right-of-way. (The parkway width on Huntington Drive
is twelve feet. )
. Changes in the number of fixture units in the restrooms or

approval from the Water Division. -
C. Proposed Commercial Revitalization Program=-
Mr. Ercolani has received Agency authorization to apply for
the proposed Commercial Revitalization Program, if and when
the Program is adopted.

Codes, as established or modified by the City;

Date October 15, 1992 ___
TO: Arcadia Redevelopment Agency
FROM: Donald R. Duckworth, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Urban Design and District Revitalization Workshop
At last week's priority planning session, the City Council
established a high priority around the goal of economic
development, including the possibility that some new planning
efforts in the downtown might be undertaken to stimulate economic
activity. We discussed the possibility of having someone like
Michael Freedman appear before the Council to share some of his
thoughts about pursuing efforts the Council might undertake in this
regard.
We have contacted Mr. Freedman. He has submitted the attached
proposal and would like to share some ideas in a joint meeting with
the City Council, Planning Commission and staff. This type of
presentation might help in determining the type of direction we
want to go, customized for Arcadia's particular interests.
Following Mr. Freedman's presentation, I would suggest we consider
other alternatives before evaluating how the different ideas we
have been exposed to can best be used to meet Arcadia's needs.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Redevelopment Agency invite Michael Freedman to conduct an
Urban Design and District Revitalization workshop at a joint
meeting of the Agency/City Council, Planning Commission and staff.
and appropriate up to $2, 000 in the Redevelopment Fund to cover
attendant expenses, and authorize the Executive Director to execute
any necessary contracts.

Re: Urban Design & District Revitalization Services
Dear Mr. Duckworth:
This letter is to confirm that we would be pleased to assist you in your efforts to revitalize
downtown and to make the most of the City's investment in new public facilities. As we
discussed in our telephone conversation, I would suggest that the most effective immediate
assistance we can provide would be a presentation on urban design and commercial district
revitalization tailored specifically to issues currently under discussion in Arcadia (This venue
also enables City Staff and Council to get to know us without having to commit to a full-
blown project right off the bat.).
Based on our conversations thus far, presentation/discussion topics might include the
following:
• Preparing an effective downtown commercial revitalization program:
developing a revitalization strategy that integrates economic, design
and policy elements; developing a program that assists the City to
market downtown to prospective investors; striking the right balance
between flexibility and commitment to specific objectives; balancing
public and private investment; overall, what has worked and what has
not in comparable situations.
• Achieving the maximum benefit from new public facilities (city halls,fire
stations, libraries, etc.): how to use public facilities to effectively catalyze
new and continued private investment; matching the right type of
facility with the right site and district; creating public facilities that the
community is proud of.

• Designing shopping street improvements that improve business - shopping •
street design basics; when and where to use landmarks; why some
street design projects succeed and others fail.
• Gaining control of change: elements of a policy framework that insures
that new or renovated buildings, sites, and/or signage add to rather
than detract from the character of the community, while allowing the
community to reap the benefits of new and continued investment.
In order for you to get the maximum benefit from this service, we have learned to
recommend the following itinerary:
First Day:
• Late morning/lunch/early afternoon: tour of study areas with City
Manager, Planning director and/or Redevelopment Director; informal
discussion of City's needs, current issues, Council concerns, etc.
• Late afternoon: I revise presentation materials to achieve better fit based
on what I have seen and heard on the tour.
• Early evening: presentation and discussion with City Council and/or
community at large (roughly 3 hours).
Second Day:
• Morning: meeting(s) with City Staff and/or community groups: free-
ranging discussion, question/answer (perhaps one hour per meeting).
Our fee for this service is $1500 plus travel expenses. I am currently holding Tuesday,
October 27 for that event.
I hope this meets with your expectations. If you would like to discuss a modified approach
or would like any additional information about our firm, please do not hesitate to call.
•
Very truly yours,
Michael Freedman
