BY: LINDA GARCIA ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 2087
AMENDING SECTION 4912.6.1 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE
PROVIDING FORATEMPORARY SPECIAL EVENT EXCEPTION FROM
THE CITY PROHIBITION OF POSTING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
The City Council, at its April 7, 1998 meeting, introduced Ordinance No. 2087
amending Section 4912.6.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code providing for a temporary
special event exception from the City prohibition of posting on public property. This
change was initiated by a request from the California Arboretum Foundation in an effort
to make the banner approval process more convenient and faster for applicants. If this
amendment to the Municipal Code is approved, the City Manager, or his designee,
rather than the City Council, will be able to approve requests to place banners on public
property (e.g. light poles).
Also at the April 7 meeting, staff was asked to develop an administrative procedure
whereby the City Council is notified of staffs approval or denial of a request and
afforded the opportunity to appeal the decision. Consequently, whenever banner
applications of the type referenced in Ordinance No. 2087 are processed, staff will
provide information to the City Council who will then have five working days to file an
appeal.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2087 amending
Section 4912.6.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code providing for a temporary special
event exception from the City prohibition of posting on public property.

SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 2087
AMENDING SECTION 4912.6.1 OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE
PROVIDING FOR ATEMPORARY SPECIAL EVENT EXCEPTION FROM
THE CITY PROHIBITION OF POSTING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY
SUMMARY
The California Arboretum Foundation has asked the City to consider revising the
regulations associated with the display of banners on City light poles. Specifically, they
would like to see the approval process made more convenient and faster for applicants.
Staff has reviewed their request and recommends that the City Council introduce
Ordinance No. 2087 which amends the Municipal Code to allow staff (rather than the
City Council) to approve requests to install banners on public property.
BACKGROUND
Sections 4912.6 and 4912.6.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code authorize an exception
to the prohibition of posting on public property to allow for the temporary posting of
signs and banners for special events. The City Council may grant an exception for
special events provided they meet the following general criteria:
• The signs and banners commemorate a singular event of a nature that merits
special consideration because of its unique character, public interest or other
similar factors.
• The applicant pays all applicable permit and inspection fees and shall submit, in
advance, information about the size, location, materials, color and number of
proposed signs /banners.
• The applicant provides insurance and hold harmless protection to the City and
submit$ an installation and removal plan.
As a point of reference, the City receives approximately one to three requests per year
for banner installations of this type.

reasonable conditions and specifications as deter-
mined by the Public Works Director.
d. No permit shall be issued until a hold -harm-
less agreement and appropriate insurance are
provided naming the City as an additional in-
sured, as approved by the Arcadia City Attorney.
e. The exception authorized by Section 4912.5
shall apply to one (1) event only for any eligible

4912.6. EXCEPTION. TEMPORARY
SPECIAL EVENT SIGNS/
PERMITS. PUBLIC
PROPERTY.
(a) For purposes of this Section, reference to
the word sign also means banner. The prohibition
set forth in Section 4912.1 is subject to an excep-
tion for special events that satisfies the general
criteria set forth in this section and for which
special event permits are issued pursuant to the
requirements set forth below. Nothing in this
Section creates a vested right to any applicant or
sets a precedent for special event permits. In view
of the inclusive prohibition and underlying ratio-
nale set forth in Section 4912 at seq. -of the
Arcadia Municipal Code, the granting or denial
of a special event permit is totally within the
discretion of the City and is not subject to judicial
review.
(b) The exception provided in this section is in
addition to the following three exemptions to
Section 41912.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code:
(1) The allowance of holiday signs pursuant to
contract,
(2) The allowance of signs on the Huntington
Drive Pedestrian Bridge pursuant to special per-
mit and contract;
(3) The over - the - street signs that are currently
allowed pursuant to business license regulations
as adopted by the City Council. (Added by Ord.
2004 adopted 3 -1 -94)
4912.5
4912.6.1. PERMIT REQUIREMENTS.
(a) General Criteria. The City Council may
exercise its discretion to consider allowance, on
a conditional and limited basis, of signs and ban-
ners that involve or commemorate a singular
event of a nature that merits special consideration
because of its unique character, public interest or
other similar factors. Commercial considerations
alone will not suffice to meet this criteria.
(b) Application Requirements /Special Use
Permit.
(1) Applicant shall pay permit and inspection
fees to the City in accordance with the amount set
forth by resolution of the City Council for miscel-
laneous work and encroachments (per Arcadia
Municipal Code Section 7250 at seq.) and shall
submit specific information proposing the size,
location, materials, color and number of the pro-
posed signs. This information shall include sam-
ples as requested by the Director of Public Works.
(2) Applicant must provide insurance and hold
harmless protection to the City in a form and
content that is approved by the City Attorney as
a condition precedent to granting any permit.
(3) Applicant must submit an installation and
removal plan that details the installation and
removal of the signs to the satisfaction of the
Public Works Director.
(4) Applicant shall provide any other informa-
tion as deemed necessary by the Director of Pub-
lic Works consistent with the need to review the
request of the applicant.
(c) Council Action. A completed application
with the report and recommendation of the Direc-
tor of Public Works shall be transmitted to the
City Council for final agenda action. The City
Council may grant, deny or conditionally grant a
special permit for exemption from the code prohi-
bition regarding signs on public property. (Added

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
May 5, 1998
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, Deputy City Manager /Development Services Director
Prepared by: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrato
SUBJECT: Report and Recommendation to Authorize Staff to fill the position of
Assistant Planner in the Development Services Department
SUMMARY
The Development Services Department is requesting authorization to fill an
Assistant Planner position that was recently vacated. This position is fully funded
through appropriations in the 1997/98 Operating Budget and is included in the
1998 -99 budget.
DISCUSSION
The Community Development Division has five (5) professional planner positions
including the Community Development Administrator, Planning Services
Manager, an Associate Planner and two (2) Assistant Planners. On April 9, one
of the Assistant Planner positions was vacated.
The Assistant Planner position is critical to the operation of the Community
Development Division. One Code Services Officer position was eliminated in the
1997 -98 budget reductions. As a result, in addition to the day to day development
activity conducted by the department, the planners now assist the Code Services
Officer in responding to code enforcement issues.
The upswing in the economy has had a positive affect by increasing development
activity within the City (see table below), which in turn, increases the work activity
within the Division. In order to continue to process applications and plans in the
same turnaround time as in the past and to maintain the current workload along
with the work programs established by the Department, it is necessary to fill this
vacancy.
The following is a list of projects that have been processed by the Community
Development Division since 1996 (calendar year). The 1998 figures are the

OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
Date: .May 5, 1998
TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY 1� (
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 2089- AMENDMENT TO MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 9600 - PROCEDURAL REVISION REGARDING APPEAL OF
PLANNING COMMISSION DECISIONS BY THE CITY COUNCIL
INTRODUCTION
Section 9600 of the Arcadia Municipal Code authorizes the City Council or any member
thereof to appeal decisions of the Planning Commission. To maintain consistency with
certain legal standards, it is necessary to amend Section 9600 of the Municipal Code as
set forth in the attached ordinance. The changes involve a deletion of language and a
minor change as shown on the attached.
SUMMARY OF CODE AMENDMENT
The basic change is to eliminate the right of appeal by the City Council as a body while
continuing to maintain the right for any individual Council member. The process is
renamed a "review process" while maintaining appellate procedures as the format for
City Council action on items called up for review by an individual City Council member.
The current code provides for appeal by the "City Council or any member thereof." In
effect, deletion of the City Council while allowing any member to seek review, does not
change the import of section 9600 which is the allowance of City Council review of
Planning Commission decisions. This will still occur as long as any Council member has
the right to seek such review.
REASON FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The basic purpose of the changes is to eliminate any potential argument that if the "City
Council" as a body makes an appeal , that action creates an appearance of bias on the part
�, ^+�'R
M
E5
of the entire City Council. I do not believe such action makes the City Council "biased ",
however, the issue has been raised in various cases (e.g. Cohan vs. Thousand Oaks, 30
Cal.App. 4th 547- 1994). The proposed ordinance amendments clarify this situation by
eliminating any appeal from the Council as a body. The prerogative of an individual
council member calling an item up for review would not support an argument of bias
against that particular member.
RECOMMENDATION
Move to introduce Ordinance No. 2089 and bring back for adoption on May 19, 1998.

NO. 6048, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO FILE APPLICATIONS WITH THE FEDERAL
TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION FOR FEDERAL
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE AUTHORIZED BY 49 U.S.C.
CHAPTER 53, TITLE 23 UNITED STATES CODE, AND OTHER
FEDERAL STATUTES ADMINISTERED BY THE FEDERAL
TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION.
SUMMARY
Attached for the City Council's consideration is Resolution No. 6048
authorizing the City Manager to submit applications to the Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) for capital assistance for replacement of Arcadia
Transit vehicles. These capital assistance applications have been prepared by
staff and will be submitted to the Regional Office of the Federal Transit
Administration and the Southern California Association of Governments.
Under these applications, the City will receive $357,138 in capital
assistance.
DISCUSSION
As an Included Municipal Operator within Los Angeles County, the City is
annually allocated a portion of funds available under the Federal Section 9
Transit Assistance Program. Among the seventeen transit operators in the
County, this allocation is made on the basis of number of transit vehicles
and miles operated, passengers carried and passenger fares collected. The
d � � 0/ n
L' �' "ACED
Section 9 fund allocations available to the City for current and prior fiscal
years are shown below. Allocations vary significantly from year-to-year
based upon Federal appropriation levels and unallocated amounts from prior
years.
Fiscal Year Allocated Balance Available
1993 $84,000
1994 $72,626
1995 $113,534
1996 $88,620
1997 $95,492
1998 $150,391
Total: $604,663
Although these assistance funds may be used for either operating or capital
purposes, the City has previously established a policy to utilize these funds
only for acquisition and replacement of Arcadia Transit capital equipment
[principally vehicles].
At the February 17, 1998 City Council meeting, the Council adopted
Resolution No. 6037, authorizing the Office of Procurement, Department of
General Services of the State of California to procure the replacement of
seven (7) transit vehicles. Per FTA Guidelines, a second authorizing
resolution for Federal capital assistance is required prior to the submission of
Assistance Applications.
City staff is presently preparing Assistance Applications for the replacement
of three (3) 10-passenger transit buses and the seven (7) 5-passenger
vehicles mentioned above. The total cost of the ten replacement vehicles
(including associated equipment, tax and delivery) is presently estimated at
$430,287. Under these applications, the City will receive a total of
$357,138 in Federal Assistance. The City share of these procurements will
total approximately $73,149, which is available from Proposition A funds
presently held in the City's Transit Fund. The Arcadia Transit fleet will
continue operating a total of 18 vehicles, all of which will be ADA compliant
following this procurement.
FISCAL IMPACT
As indicated above, the City will receive $357,138 in Federal Transit
Assistance under these Applications for replacement of ten Arcadia Transit
•
.
vehicles. This amount represents almost 83% of the cost of these
replacement vehicles. The remaining 17% is allocated from Proposition A
Local Return funds.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6048

SUBJECT: Recommendation to adopt Resolution No.6049, a Resolution of
the City Council of the City of Arcadia to approve Arcadia
Transit's FY 1997-98 Proposition C Discretionary funding for
Overcrowding Relief to the Transit Dependent
Summary:
Attached for City Council review and consideration is Resolution No. 6049,
authorizing the City Manager to submit Arcadia Transit's FY 1997-98
Proposition C Discretionary funding for Overcrowding Relief to the Transit
Dependent. The Memorandum of Understanding will be submitted to the •
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The City
will receive $14,851 in Proposition C funding in FY 1997-98.
Discussion: -
Proposition C is a countywide '/z cent sales tax dedicated for transportation _
services. Forty percent of the Proposition C revenues are set aside by the'
MTA for discretionary uses such as bus and rail improvement programs. In
March 1998, MTA approved the Bus System Improvement Plan to improve
bus service on overcrowded bus systems. The Board set aside $10.4 million
in Proposition C Discretionary funds for allocation to municipal operators

based on the previously agreed upon formula allocation process. Arcadia
Transit receives approximately one tenth of one percent of the formula.
Fiscal Impact:
As previously mentioned, The City will receive $14,851 in Proposition C
Discretionary funds to operate Arcadia Transit. This amount represents less
than 1 % of Arcadia Transit's FY 97-98 Operating and Capital Budget for the
dial-a-ride program. These County discretionary funds relieve the City from
using local Proposition A monies.

RE: Stonebridge Arcadia Hotels; STC Requirements
Dear Don:
Upon review of Arcadia's amended building code,there is an outstanding issue which requires
resolution. Arcadia's code requires partitions within a hotel to achieve a Sound Transmission Class, or
STC, of 58. As previously discussed, Stonebridge believes this requirement to be excessive, and •
prohibitively expensive to construct.
Hilton and Marriott hotel corporations each have established acoustic performance criteria that must be
met in the construction of hotels that bear their names. They place a high priority on acoustic
performance and privacy for guests, as does Stonebridge. Hilton and Marriott require that interior •
partitions typically achieve an STC of 52,which provides wholly satisfactory performance. This
requirement is also typical of other prominent hotel brands, such as Hampton Inns, Comfort Suites, and
Holiday Inns. Attached for your information are the acoustic specifications for Hilton and Marriott.
In our experience,the STC required by Arcadia is unique; Stonebridge has built hotels in a wide variety
of locations, and we have not encountered any other municipality with such a requirement
Because of these factors, Stonebridge hereby requests a Waiver from Arcadia's code on this issue, or a
change in the code to eliminate the STC requirement of 58. Time is critical in the resolution of this
issue, and I appreciate your continued cooperation. Please distribute this request as required among City
staff.
Sincerely,
/jf1 CO• .i

RE: Arcadia, CA Fairfield Suites; Hilton Garden Inn
DATE: March 10, 1998
PAGES: 3, including this cover sheet.
Pursuant to your discussion with Gary Rohr yesterday,please find attached a cost evaluation of
the difference in cost between constructing STC 52 partitions and STC 59 partitions within the
Fairfield Suites and Hilton Garden Inn.
Based on the estimate developed by our general contractor, there is a differential cost of S1 L25
per linear foot of partition. Multiplied by the ling footage of partitions within each project, the
total cost for upgrading to STC 59 partitions is S193,961.
As rn oned,this is a sipnincant cost increase which we feel is unnecessary, and we are most
interested in resolving this issue. Please call with any questions you may have.

SUMMARY -
Text Amendment 98-001 was initiated at the direction of the City Council. This
text amendment proposes changes to certain sections of the CBD (Central
-Business District) zoning regulations primarily relating to uses, signage and
outdoor displays and amending the commercial sign regulations relating to
window signs and banners and adding sections relating to flags and portable
signs. -
The Planning Commission at its March 10 meeting voted 4-1 with one member
absent to recommend to the City Council approval of Text Amendment 98-001. _:
BACKGROUND - - - - - -
In August, the City Council along with the Planning Commission conducted a .
walking tour of the downtown area. After the walking tour,- the. City. Council
requested that the Planning Commission review the current CBD (Central
Business District) zoning regulations to determine if any of the regulations should
be• changed and to make recommendations for changes. The focus of the
Commission's study was:- - • -
• "Retail" versus "General Commercial" uses along Huntington Drive and First
Avenue
CBD/TA98-001 cc report CC Report T.A. 98-001
March 17, 1998
• Page 1
• •The definition of retail
• Signage
• Outdoor displays and promotional devices
The Planning Commission held four study sessions that included property and
business owners in the downtown area and representatives from the Arcadia
Business Association.
The Planning Commission's recommendations were forwarded to the City
Council on December 16, at which time the Council directed staff to proceed with
a text amendment incorporating the Planning Commission's recommendations.
A public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on March 10. After
considering testimony from the public, the Planning Commission recommended
approval of Text Amendment 98-001 as presented in Exhibit 1 with two minor
changes.
ANALYSIS
Exhibit 1 sets forth the proposed changes to the zoning regulations including
amendments to the CBD codes relating to uses, signing, outdoor displays and
promotional devices. In addition the text amendment includes changes and
additions to the CPD-1, C-1 and C-2 zone relating to Portable Signs, Window
Signs, Temporary. Banners,. Pennants and Streamers, Flags, outdoor displays
and promotional devices.-
Several _ letters were submitted to the City (Exhibit 2) expressing concern
regarding the regulation permitting only specified "retail" businesses and financial
institutions within the front 1/3 of the ground floor area of buildings fronting on
Huntington Drive.
The Planning Commission in its consideration, discussed the restriction of retail
uses along Huntington Drive. It was the consensus of the Commission, that the
regulations have only been in effect for approximately a year and a half and that-
there has not been adequate time to gauge the effectiveness of the code They
noted that there is considerable development taking place Downtown and that it
was premature to change the code at this time: -The Planning Commission did.
acknowledge that the code can be amended at a later date if it is determined that
the "retail" only requirement along Huntington Drive is too restrictive. . . : _ _
The Planning Commission's recommendation included, minor changes to
9264.2.9 (page 4 Exhibit 1) regarding uses subject to a conditional use permit.
csD/TA96-0Olccreport CC Report.T.A. 98-001
.. March 17, 1998

•
In addition, the Commission discussed amending Section 9262.4.14 "Allowable
Area for Identification" of the sign regulations to be consistent with Section
9264.3.6. These sections relate to the issue of business identification allowing
no more than one-third (1/3) of the sign area to contain non-English translations.
The following is a summary of the major changes proposed in Text Amendment , •
98-001.
CBD Retail Land Uses
The proposed revisions simplify sections relating to land use which led to
misinterpretation of the code including:
• Currently the CBD zone prohibits any use but retail in the front one-third of
the ground floor area in buildings along Huntington Drive and First Avenue,
except if a building is specifically designed for office use. The proposed
revisions do not change this requirement, but clarify the existing wording for
"Retail Uses". (See page 2, Exhibit 1)
• A new section "Consumer Services" has been added. Uses identified in this
Section are not considered "retail" and would not be allowed in the front one-
third of the ground floor area along Huntington Drive and First Avenue (See
page 1, Exhibit 1)
Signape, Banners, Outdoor Displays and Promotional Devices . .
Revisions and additions have been made to both the CBD regulations as well as
the general commercial signing regulations. The following are highlights of the
changes:
•
• Portable signs have been better defined in the CBD zone and "A" frame signs.
will now be allowed as long as they are professionally designed. In addition
"Portable signs" will now be permitted in the other commercial zones subject -
to the standards set forth in Exhibit 1. (See page 5 and 6, Exhibit 1)
• Currently temporary window signs (such as holiday signs) are only permitted..
for a maximum of thirty (30) cumulative days per year. The proposed
changes will allow temporary window signs sixty (60) cumulative days per:
Y e ar. (See page 8, Exhibit 1) {
• The time eriod for temporary banners has been extended from thirty (30) .
days to sixty (60) cumulative days per year with a requirement that any single
display period not exceed 30 days and that there be two weeks interval-
between times during which the banner is displayed. (See page 8, Exhibit 1)
CBDrrA98-o0lcaeport CC Report T.A. 98-001
March 17, 1998
Page 3
• The code has never allowed pennants, streamers and other attention
attracting displays. A section has been specifically added which addresses
this issue. (See page 9, Exhibit 1)
• A section has been added to allow decorator-type flags that do not contain
commercial messages in text form. (See page 9, Exhibit 1)
• Sections regarding outdoor uses, sales or display of merchandise have been
amended to be more flexible. Currently outdoor displays are prohibited in the
C-1, CPD-1 and C-2 zones. The CBD zone allows outdoor displays for
antique shops and flower shops only located along Huntington Drive and First
Avenue. The regulations have been amended to allow outdoor displays in all
commercial zones as long as they do not include merchandise typically for
sale on the premises except for florist and antique shops. (See page 10 and
11, Exhibit 1)
• Promotional Devices such as balloons will be allowed subject to the
regulations set forth in Exhibit 1. (See pages 11 and 12, Exhibit 1)
CEQA
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed
project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially
substantial adverse change. in.any of the physical conditions-within. the area
affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient
noise and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the
record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project 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. _ -

RE: Meeting February 24 concerning
C B D ZONE REGULATIONS
Regretfully, we are unable to attend the schedualed
meeting pertaining to the Central Business District Zoning.
The cur rer_t ..commercial zoning has adversly affected our
sueeessfuly leasing vacant space in a PRIME Arcadia loc-
ation. - This in turn is proving a hardship on .us as pro-
perty owners in the area and likewise our Tenants who
are trying to improve their business, but are neg-
ately impacted by long: standing vacances .
We therefore, wish to cast our vote towards recom-
mending
that the City Council remove retail requirements
from the C B D Zone regulations . -
This we hope for ..a , change that would prove productive
for all' concerned'. . - -

Re: Planning Commission Meeting 3/10/98
Dear Ms. Butler:
My wife and I have owned the property at 42, 44 and 44-1/2 Huntington Drive for many
years. It is a one-story building which contains three small units facing on the south side of
the street. It also has a sizable parking lot which runs south to the alley.
We are writing this letter to urge the Commission to make the CBD restrictions more lenient
and to permit uses other than strictly retail stores. The unit at 44-1/2 has been vacant since
October and we have been actively trying to rent it through a reputable realtor. Almost all
the prospective tenants are professional, such as accounting office, mortgage company, and
the like, whereas virtually none have been in a retail business.
•
To limit usage to strictly retail would create a severe hardship on us and other owners by
eliminating the most likely tenants for these small quarters.
We also strongly feel that this limitation on use will result i i increasing.the already high
vacancy rate which certainly will degrade the neighborhood. On the other hand, a mix of
legitimate small business and professional tenants will result in high occupancy, which is
sorely needed to enhance the neighborhood. .

Re: Changing Arcadia CBD Regulations
Dear Ms. Butler
The purpose of this letter is to ask the Planning Commission to recommend to City
Council that the "only specified retail commercial businesses and financial institutions
shall be allowed within the front 1/3 of the ground floor for structures fronting on
Huntington Drive" restriction be removed from the CBD Regulations, which were
adopted May 7, 1996.
I feel that the property owners'viewpoint has not been expressed at previous
meetings. Because of the holidays, the fact that many live out of town, illness, and
not being aware that the matter has been brought up for reivew, owners have not
attended meetings, but many have called to express their interest in changing the
regulation. I have enclosed copies of letters from two owners, Margaret Warner and
Lawrence Landis, and Alan Swofford has written the City.
The reasoning for the above request is that the regulation is too restrictive; most cities
have mixed uses, which complement each other, in their downtown areas. I believe
that keeping the retail restriction along Huntington Drive puts the City in the
position of being its own worst enemy. Tax revenue is not received from empty :
buildings. However, small stores along the Drive will not solve the city's financial
problems, but the appearance of the downtown area can continue to improve if new
businesses that are needed are permitted to occupy empty spaces.
Yours truly

re : City of Arcadia CBD Regulations Considerations of the City
of Arcadia Planning Commission
Dear Ms . Butler:
Please place the following letter, if possible , for consideration
in the next Planning Commission Meeting . Thank you for your
help.
To :
Honorable Members of the City of Arcadia Planning Commission :
As the owner for many decades of the building at 131-131 1/2 E.
Huntington Drive I entreat you to carefully consider the
following.
By limiting the use of premises to the Retail Catagories listed
in Ordinance 2049 the City is effectively negating the stated
intent to improve and maintain dovinLown as a vibrant, dynamic,
attractive and wholesome part of the City of Arcadia. Based upon
my personal past experiences you are precluding very desirable
tennancies and assuring a high number of vacancies , a lower
quality of credit tennancies, and a lower degree of maintenance
and improvements by landlords and tennants .
In the past I have lost potential tennants because of the
necessity to go through a variance process to :occupy my •
building . Examples of these losses include many prime rated
tennacies inclusive of employment agencies , including
subsidiaries of NASDAQ listed firms , travel agencies which were
also a part of a chain, BelWood Bakery (a very high income area
specialty bakery, sandwich , and coffee chain) , winery retailers
which were part of major wineries , a world renowned musician
trying to open a music school , consulting engineering services
firms for both highway and geological work and inumerable others
of similar quality.
In almost every instance the potential tennant did take premises
in Cities surrounding Arcadia.
The losses impact both the City and the property ownerships and
tennancies . It impacts the owners such as me in lowering the
value of my properties , having , realistically, an extremely high
vacancy rate, and diminishing the ability to economically afford
the types of upgrades I would like to do on my property.
kccordingly, I entreat the Planning Commission to consider, at
Least ,alternatives to the structural impediments that have been
:rected to obtaining and retaining the types of occupancies that _
:he City and the current property owners and property users need
Ind desire .
)ne of many alternatives would be to institute a process much
Simpler than a variance or conditional use process whereby a
iser that does not fit the catagories specified, but is within
.he intent of the regulation, can be permitted to use the
.ntended location . A committee or a reviewing authority within
he City Administration with waiver authority could be
:onsidered. Safeguards against abuse such as requiring a review
-uthority could also be used.
sincerely hope that you seriously consider the above entreaty
nasmuch as I suffered both pecuniary loss and considerable work
.nd difficulty over the years due- to the catagorizations .
hank you.
es Ctfully submitted, ' _

RE: Changing Arcadia CBD Regulations
Dear Ms. Butler,
My opinion is as a property owner on "Retail" vs. "Commercial", of course mainly based
on my property "The Arcade Building" at 36-38-40 E. Huntington Drive, South Side.
I have had desirable success in both retail and commercial tenants. This has 1 believe a •-
great deal to do with the sufficient parking in my lot at the rear of my building for my
tenants and their clients. The lot runs from the alley to Alta Street.
This lot has become a veritable "all City" general public parking lot.
The apartments, the Bars and overflow from other businesses which have inadequate
parking space all use it day and night.
I have allowed this as a good will gesture to my business neighbors as much as possible
and to the City in general.
I do feel the more attention and awareness of the "Down Town" area is very important.
This all has a bearing on the same old problem. Not enough parking. My lot is of great
help to a great many and I do not wish to chain or padlock it unless it comes a problem
as to the use of my own tenants.
I fell all "Retail" would increase the lack of parking space but "Retail" and "Commercial"
would combine very successfully with one complimenting the other.
Page 2.
My front building at 36 E. Huntington Drive, Arcadia sat vacant for over one year. It is
• currently occupied but the inquires that we had during that time were seldom for "Retail"
purposes and the types of "Retail" that had inquired would never last there more than a
couple of months because of the parking situation on Huntington Drive. People are lazy
and do not want to drive around to the back of the building they want to pull up find
parking and do their business. I am not in favor of having all "Retail" and being restricted
to who I can rent my building to. Unless the City of Arcadia would like to pay my
property taxes and other expenses you have when you own property.
I am being represented by Pamela J. del Rey of Art Del Rey Realty, Inc. my building
manager.
P.S. I am never notified of the meetings concerning the "Retail"-"Commercial" business.
Sincerely,
Margaret Warner

RE: Report and recommendation to approve design review for the property at
29 E. Huntington Drive (formerly Steerburger Restaurant)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Work
Proposed: Interior and exterior remodel of 29 E. Huntington Drive (Att. No.1).
Applicant has proposed to make substantial modifications to the existing
structure. The building will be divided into 1,420 square feet of retail
space on Huntington Drive and 2,700 square feet of medical office
space. The project includes a total of approximately 1,600 square feet
of new building area. Most of the new construction will be located at
the north end of the building.
Additionally, the existing building facades (north, south and east) will be
rehabilitated with substantial improvements. The Applicant has applied
for financial assistance through the Agency's Commercial Facade
Rehabilitation Program (CFRP). Agency staff has informed the Applicant
that projects are eligible for reimbursement only for work done on
existing facades and wall faces, awnings, signs and specified on-site
work. Funds are not eligible for new facades created by the addition of
new square footage or for interior work such as walls, fixtures, or tenant
improvements. The exterior improvements are the focus of this design
review and will be discussed in detail below.

The Applicant is currently considering two different uses for the Huntington Drive
"retail" portion of the building. The first is a typical retail user while the second calls
for a coffee bar tenant (i.e., restaurant) to occupy the space. Each have different
parking requirements. The retail option will require the Applicant to obtain a 15 space
Modification while the Coffee Bar option will require a 20 space Modification. This
Modification will be processed through the Planning Commission.
PURPOSE OF DESIGN REVIEW
The purpose of the Agency's review is as follows:
1. To give the Agency the opportunity to determine if new private projects are in
conflict with any Agency projects which are being considered or developed in
the same area.
2. To provide the opportunity to incorporate the private project with an Agency ,
project and/or to eliminate or to mitigate any conflicts at the earliest stage of
the design process.
3. To afford the Agency an opportunity to review the preliminary architectural
plans of private projects to insure that these projects are not so out of
character with the area as to be a hindrance to future development.
The Agency's actions do not supersede Building or Zoning Regulations. Such
regulations must be complied with unless modified in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the Arcadia Municipal Code and need not be considered by the Agency as
part of this review.
ANALYSIS
A. Design Features
A Color and Materials Board, as well as colored building elevations, have been
provided by the Applicant. They are available for review in the Economic
Development Office and will be on display at the Agency meeting of May 5.
The Applicant proposes to make substantial changes to the appearance of the
structure. The current structure features flat surfaces on all sides (brick veneer
and stucco) and an uninteresting flat roofline. The new design provides major
building articulation through use of a variety of materials (landscaping planters,
shake roof tiles, facia board, stucco plant-ons, exterior fixtures and new
window openings).
The proposed Huntington Drive elevation represents a major improvement over
the current architectural theme. The current storefront is a typical downtown
"bar" facade with a flat, brick veneered surface and no window openings. The
Applicant proposes to rehab this elevation with more inviting and traditional
retail design elements. The new facade will feature three entrances (two for
the retail sales area and another on the east for the dental offices), new
window openings (trimmed in dark blue) adjacent to the retail entrance, two
foot high landscaping planters and a sloped dark gray cedar shake roof. Wall
surfaces will be blue-gray stucco with white and dark blue trim accents.
The proposed changes to the rear of the building are similar to the front
(window openings, dark gray shingle roof, blue-gray stucco walls with white
and dark blue trim and facia boards, and landscaping planters).
The eastern elevation is immediately adjacent to a newly installed storm drain
and pedestrian access easement connecting Parking District No. 2 and
Huntington Drive. This easement was granted during the Downtown 2000
Streetscape Project by the former owner in exchange for the Agency installing
a storm drain to relieve localized seasonal flooding in the area. Because of the
easement (and the prospect of future foot traffic) care has been taken to
include architectural detail on the eastern facade. This detail includes new
window openings, door openings and facade articulation. Landscaping has
been included in planters near the rear entry.
The former Steerburger restaurant has posed unusual redevelopment problems for the
Lees since they have had to continue a retail use in the front one-third of the building
as required by the CBD Ordinance, and "blend" this use with their dental office in the
rear.
Staff believes that this project represents a major upgrade to a high profile downtown
property. As commercial activity in this area increases, this property (adjacent to the
pedestrian walkway) will become increasingly visible and important to the public's
perception of Arcadia's downtown. The Lee's should be commended for their
willingness to invest in downtown.
B. Staff Conditions of Approval
• Historically, storm water has flowed from the north and west across the rear
parking area of this property. This has sometimes caused flooding to occur
in the building to the west and through the pedestrian walkway along the
eastern edge of the subject property. The installation of the storm drain
system through the pedestrian easement area during the Downtown 2000
Project has successfully abated much of the flooding concerns.
However, the Applicant's proposal to extend the building to the north will
disturb the,current sheet flow of water across their rear parking lot.
Without deliberate measures being taken by the Applicant, significant
ponding of storm runoff could occur immediately west of the subject
property, possibly causing damage to both the Applicant's and the
neighboring property. Due to the flooding potential in this area, the
Applicants shall construct a sump pump to handle the flow from a 50 year
flooding condition. This method shall be a private facility whose
a .
maintenance shall be the responsibility of the property owner. The final
design shall be subject to review and approval by the Development Services
Department prior to issuance of a building permit.
• Applicant shall provide timer controlled safety lighting along the passageway
on the eastern building facade. Lighting specifications as well as hours of
operation shall be subject to review and approval by the Development
Services Director prior to issuance of a building permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS
The Comprehensive Downtown 2000 Business Incentive Program, which
includes the CFRP, was assessed by The Planning Center (TPC) in 1996.
Based upon their analysis, a Negative Declaration was adopted which covers all
Applicants taking part in the CFRP.
A copy of this report has been transmitted to the Applicant.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency approve this Design Review subject to
the departmental conditions above.
