A CNG program has the potential of reducing the City's demand on fossil fuels and lowering General Fund/Capital Outlay spending for vehicle procurements. Working in conjunction with the Southern California Gas Company, staff contacted several CNG engineering firms requesting qualifications for the development of a feasibility study leading to a potential CNG Transportation Program. The City received proposals from three (3) firms. Each proposal was evaluated and ranked by staff with staff recommending Raymundo Engineering of Walnut Creek, California as the firm most qualified to perform the required work. Staff is also requesting the City Council appropriate$13,400 of AB 1766 funds and to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for that amount with Raymundo Engineering for the completion of a Feasibility Study potentially leading to a Compressed natural gas (CNG)program. BACKGROUND Based on the City's interest in pursuing compressed natural gas (CNG)technology, staff has researched and performed a basic analysis involving the feasibility of introducing CNG powered vehicles into the City's fleet. Through this analysis, staff has gleaned basic knowledge regarding the construction, implementation and operation of CNG /4)epvd v LASER IMAGED Co• /a4 . CNG Transportation Program November 3, 1998 Page 2 facilities and vehicles. Staff has held discussions with several cities that have implemented CNG programs, the Southern California Gas Company, CNG fuel providers and CNG program and vehicle specialist. Further, this analysis has provided sufficient knowledge necessary to make preliminary recommendations regarding the feasibility of implementation of a CNG program in the City of Arcadia. The City has been exploring the potential of introducing CNG to its fleet and,operations for some time. The City of Monrovia pursued a State Energy Program(SEP)grant through the California Energy Commission in early 1998. The City of Monrovia focused its grant efforts on developing a partnership with nearby agencies in the development and implementation of a"joint-use" and public access CNG facility. Unfortunately,the demand for CNG fuel between the five agencies involved(Monrovia, Arcadia, Sierra Madre,Duarte, and the U.S. Postal Service)was not sufficient to receive award of the SEP grant. With the exception of Arcadia,the agencies involved have since not pursued CNG grant opportunities as all funding alternatives have been exhausted. DISCUSSION Development Services staff has researched the facts related to CNG facilities,vehicles and funding opportunities. This included a brief cost/benefit analysis of CNG versus traditional fuel. This type of analysis is necessary to determine if the use of CNG would produce sufficient benefits to support the City's time and investment in pursuing a CNG program. The results of this brief cost/benefit analysis revealed the following: • The capital investment necessary for CNG infrastructure is dependent on the type of station. A dedicated"fast fill" (e.g., 3 gallons per minute) station is in the range of $120,000 to $200,000. A public station(e.g., equipped with multi-functional payment technology) with fast fill capabilities is in the range of$200,000 to $250,000. • The cost of natural gas when purchased through Southern California Gas is roughly $.32 per gallon. • Amortized over a five year period the initial capital investment including maintenance and fuel,the cost per gallon remains low at roughly $.63 versus $.93 (+ or-) for gasoline. • Operations and maintenance costs have proven to be lower than their gasoline counterparts. • The estimated return on capital investment is between 3 and 5 years. • The incrementally higher cost for the purchase of CNG vehicles is reduced through SCAQMD and auto manufacturer incentives. CNG Transportation Program November 3, 1998 Page 3 • CNG vehicles are eligible for purchase with AQMD funds whereas gasoline vehicles are not. • The possibility of a public station might generate revenues for the City. • The Feasibility Analysis of the Natural Gas Vehicle Program is AB 2766 eligible. In conjunction with this analysis,the Development Services and Maintenance Services Department staffs met to discuss potential CNG fleet purchases and selection of alternate sites for a potential fueling station. Discussions held between Maintenance Services, and CNG consultants have produced a favorable analysis on CNG vehicle performance and selection of alternate fueling sites. Several vehicles have been identified as CNG candidates including, street sweepers, administration vehicles, maintenance trucks, and transit vehicles. Site selection,though in this phase pre-mature, has been confined to City owned accessible properties. Detailed criteria including gas line pressure and ground movement should be reviewed in later phases of the project to narrow the number of alternative sites. Funding On an annual basis the City receives an allocation of AB 2677 Subvention funds based on a formula employing population and vehicle registration fees as its base. Annually,the City receives on the average of$50,000 directly from the SCAQMD. Additionally,the . City has been earning in interest about 5.5% on its carryover balance of$120,000 for an additional $6,600. In FY 98-99, a total of$176,600 in AB 2766 funds will be available for eligible projects. In the FY 1998-99 Budget, $54,000 has been budgeted for air quality programs such as rideshare and administration. An additional $50,000 has also be identified in the Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan(CIP)for the procurement of alternative fuel vehicles. In addition to the City's annual allocation of roughly$50,000, another$70,000 of AB 2766 funds are available from prior years. These funds may be allocated for additional alternative fuel vehicles or reserved for future procurements. Through discussions with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA),the eligibility of Proposition A or C Local Return funds for CNG applications has been approved. The City may elect to allocate a portion of its Proposition A or C Local Return revenues towards a CNG facility provided the Arcadia Transit system is included in the CNG program. As the next transit vehicle procurement is scheduled for FY 99-00, the development of the CNG program in FY 98-99 would be timely with the transit vehicle procurement. Alternate Fuel Technology In addition to the benefits of reduced air pollution, the cost of natural gas is less CNG Transportation Program November 3, 1998 Page 4 expensive than diesel and gasoline. With the rising costs of gasoline and diesel, a fleet that is not reliant on these two fuel sources can take advantage of savings provided by alternate fuels. The U.S. Department of Energy(DOE) recently concluded a study comparing two taxi operations, one CNG the other gasoline, revealing significant savings for the CNG operated fleet. The DOE study found when comparing identical vehicles the CNG vehicle averaged 17.1 miles per gallon while its gasoline counterpart only averaged 14.8. Further,the study found maintenance and repair cots to be 21% lower for CNG operated vehicles. When compared annually,the fuel savings was $2,190 and maintenance and repair costs savings were $6,570 for a CNG vehicle traveling 73,000 miles annually. With new advancements on fueling infrastructure and the availability of a larger variety of vehicles, CNG is seen as the best alternate fuel in the industry. CNG is much cleaner burning than gasoline and other alternate fuels such as propane. CNG is currently used by the MTA, West Covina Dial-a-Ride, Hawthorne Police and by other cities for maintenance trucks, police vehicles, and transit buses and vans. A network of CNG fueling stations is already available to a limited degree in Los Angeles County and neighboring counties. Technology for CNG fueling has advanced and made fueling as simple as fueling with gasoline. By installing CNG fueling infrastructure, the City will be able to use CNG vehicles that produce less pollution and cost less to fuel. Upon approval and authorization the recommended Feasibility Analysis can commence. The analysis will include size of the facility, establishing a budget, identifying other users, and if the project proceeds, assisting the City in the bid process. (Adjacent cities such as Alhambra and El Monte have installed CNG fueling facilities at a cost of$150,000 to $200,000.) Consultant Services to be Performed As the most qualified firm,Raymundo Engineering will perform complex and specialized duties including the following: 1) Ascertain the City's demand for CNG fuel based on the current vehicle replacement schedule and annual mileage assumptions; 2)Prepare a cost/benefit analysis comparing conventional gasoline with the anticipated demand of CNG; 3)Evaluate the needs of the Maintenance Services facility for the maintenance and repair of CNG vehicles and installation of CNG equipment; and 4)Prepare a detailed estimate inclusive of all costs for facility improvements to accommodate the CNG program. The timeline for the above referenced work is estimated to be 30 to 60 days from the City's Notice to Proceed. • CNG Transportation Program November 3, 1998 Page 5 RECOMMENDATION At this time,the staff recommends the City Council appropriate $13,400.of AB 2766 funds and to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract for that amount with Raymundo Engineering in a form approved by the City Attorney for the development of a Feasibility Study for a Compressed Natural Gas(CNG)Transportation Program.

Director SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT REGARDING PROPOSED SANTA ANITA COMMERCIAL CENTER SPECIFIC PLAN - SUMMARY Staff work formally commenced on the Santa Anita Commercial Center (SACC) Specific Plan in late April 1998. A fast track processing schedule was requested by Santa Anita in an effort to entitle the project by the end of calendar year 1998. Though very ambitious, it was achievable if all parties worked together to expedite the review and provide information required for the analysis of the project. At this point in time, work on the Specific Plan has been suspended as a result of Santa Anita's inaction relative to authorizing additional traffic studies relative to changes they recently submitted and lack of reimbursement for costs incurred by the City in the processing of the application. DISCUSSION The original schedule as requested by Santa Anita suggested a processing timeframe that would entitle the project by the end of calendar year 1998. Additionally, in order to initiate construction as soon thereafter as possible, Santa Anita had proposed to submit for review in advance of approval of the Specific Plan, certain grading, infrastructure, and building plans. Though submittal of these plans would be at their own risk (should the City Council approve something different than the plans), it would have provided Santa Anita with an opportunity to move quickly into the construction phase once approval of the Specific Plan was secured. Santa Anita has apparently determined not to pursue this pre-approval strategy, though has not provided any explanation to City staff for this decision. In late August, Santa Anita submitted some changes to the Specific Plan. First, they determined that they did not want to reopen Gate 1 as an entrance to the Race Track. In their original application they proposed to reopen this Gate for Race Track traffic because the Holly Avenue entrance to.the Track was to be exclusively used for the new Commercial Center. Second, they proposed to reduce the square footage of the Entertainment Component and increase the size the Neighborhood Component by a LASER IMAGED jrec 0-7-2 . 41• / 5-a- l , SACC Report Page Two 11/03/98 commensurate amount. Since the draft Environmental Impact Report was 90% complete, these changes required new analysis at an added cost to Santa Anita. Staff informed them of this in writing, but Santa Anita has not communicated back with the City as to their desire to proceed with these changes. As a result of the above circumstances, staff has suspended all work on the Specific Plan until Santa Anita is in conformance with all conditions of the Cost Compensation Agreement. From a timing standpoint, once work on the project is ready to restart, a new schedule will need to be developed. The City's consultant, LSA, has accepted other work that has required the reassignment of some of their staff. RECOMMENDATION No action is being requested of City Council. This report is intended to provide an update on the project at this time. Approved By: kni-L- William R. Kelly, City Manager Gtr//) s�f ana/4 titt, .1* r'POAATYO STAFF REPORT DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT DATE: November 3, 1998 TO: Mayor and City Council/Arcadia Redevelopment Agency FROM: Don Penman, Deputy City Manager/Deputy Executive Director/ Development Services Directors►' By: fV Peter Kinnahan, Economic Development Administrator SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATON TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6080, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING STAFF TO PROCEED WITH A PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT PLAN EXTENDING THE POWER OF EMINENT DOMAIN (CONDEMNATION) FOR TWELVE (12) YEARS BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1999 TO DECEMBER 31, 2010; EXEMPTING CERTAIN PROPERTIES, AND AUTHORIZING THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO APPROPRIATE $15,000 FROM THE AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE FOR THE PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENT. SUMMARY The Arcadia Redevelopment Agency's power of eminent domain (condemnation) expired June 30, 1998. The law allows the power of eminent domain to be extended for up to twelve (12) years. At the Agency's study session of August 18, 1998 the Agency preliminarily decided to proceed with an amendment to add eminent domain and directed staff to return with a formal report to initiate the process. At the same meeting, the Board directed that the power of eminent domain in the residential areas abutting and north of Colorado Boulevard, and north of Alta Street not be part of the amendment (see map, Attachment 1). Because the properties on the northeast and southeast corners of Santa Anita and Newman Avenue are residentially zoned but could be commercial under the General Plan and Redevelopment Plan, staff is requesting direction on whether to include or exclude these properties from possible eminent domain. All the properties in the central part of the project area would then be subject to the power of eminent domain should the City Council ultimately approve the amendment. Even with the exclusion of the above described residential areas, a significant number of residential occupants could be displaced by the power of eminent domain and a Project Area Committee (PAC) comprised of individuals elected by representatives from the Project Area must be established by the City Council to consider the amendment LASER F Ada,g tp a/ • cc/4i fi- //h . Staff Report Page Two 11/03/98 and advise the Council. A map showing the balance and number of residential units is provided as Attachment 2. Staff estimates the cost of this amendment process to be approximately $15,000. An appropriation of this amount from unprogrammed Agency funds is requested. It should take from four (4) to five (5) months, depending on the level of the PAC's involvement, to complete the process. Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6080, authorizing staff to proceed with the proposed text amendment to the Central Redevelopment Plan extending the power of eminent domain for twelve (12) years (January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2010) with the residential exemptions shown on Attachment 1 and described above. DISCUSSION The Redevelopment Agency's power of eminent domain expired June 30, 1998. California Redevelopment law allows a City to reauthorize this power for up to twelve (12) years, but only after a formal plan amendment process. Since only a text amendment is involved, the amendment process is less complicated than if the Agency were proposing to add territory to the existing Project Area. Eminent Domain - Under California law, exercising the power of eminent domain is very restrictive and closely regulated. The Agency must precisely follow statutes and guidelines. For example, the Agency.. must obtain an appraisal from a competent, independent appraiser. The Agency cannot offer less than the appraisal price to the property owner. The appraiser's date of value must be within six (6) months of the offer. Should the Agency's negotiations with the property owner be unsuccessful, the v 0,€Agency must schedule a hearing at a public meeting. owner- and their _r_exese_❑tatives-can-make-a-presentation-to-the Agency-about-the-property's=value, the Agency's conduct of the acquisition process, and/or the Agency's need for or real benefit from the property, if acquired. If the Agency still wishes to proceed with condemnation, it can do so only by a 2/3 vote (four of five members). Prior to making an offer which could lead to Agency displacement of fifteen (15) or more people, the Agency must prepare a Relocation Plan based upon interviews with the potential displacees. The Relocation Plan must state in detail the number of very low, low, and low to moderate-income units needed, by bedroom size (describing unique needs, e.g. handicapped, childcare, schooling, etc.), and where in the community possible comparable vacancies exist and at what rent or sale price. It must be adopted by the Agency at a public meeting. Staff Report Page Three 11/03/98 For commercial and industrial properties, in addition to the appraisal of the land and buildings, the Agency must appraise any furnishings, fixtures, and equipment of the business or businesses, and offer to acquire these items. The Agency must also pay relocation benefits to any displaced persons, families, or businesses. For residential tenants this could be up to $5250. For residential owners it could be up to $22,500. In very difficult cases, e.g., large families, disabled person relocations, etc., the Agency may be required to pay well beyond these amounts for "last resort housing". Pursuant to State guidelines, this also includes costs of moving within fifty (50) miles, costs of searching for a relocation site, and for the businesses costs of reestablishing itself in a new location (i.e., signage, phones, utilities, stationary, etc). If a business suffers a loss of patronage as a result of the relocation, the business may file a claim for loss of "goodwill". Although the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency during its 24 year existence, has never gone to trial on eminent domain, it has adopted a "Resolution of Necessity" (i.e., condemnation) 26 times. In all cases, the Agency and property owner were able to negotiate a reasonable compromise prior to trial. Without the use of this power, the Hampton Inn, Residence Inn, Souplantation, Olive Garden, Automobile Club, Friendly Hills-Cigna, Outback Steak House and the proposed Hilton Garden Inn and Marriott Fairfield Suites project across North Second Avenue from Embassy Suites could not have been possible. On August 18, 1998 the Agency preliminarily determined that the residential properties north of and abutting Colorado Boulevard, and north of Alta Street (see Attachment 1) should be exempted and that only the M-1 and commercially zoned areas should be considered for the possible exercise of eminent domain power. There are approximately 79 residential units in this "core" area. Most are older units, dating from the 1940's and 50's. Most do not conform to the City's current zoning fire and/or building regulations. Many are intermingled with commercial or manufacturing uses. -While the Agency has no plans at this time to acquire any of these properties, without the power of eminent domain, the Agency would be unable to assemble the land necessary for a future development that could benefit both the City and the Agency. Additionally, it would remove any negotiating leverage with an unreasonable property owner. There are two (2) residentially zoned properties in the Project Area north of Colorado for which staff requests direction. The properties on the northeast and southeast corners of Santa Anita and Newman are both R-3. The General Plan designation is Mixed Use (Commercial/Multiple-Family). The Redevelopment Plan designation is Commercial Office/Residential High Density for the property north of Newman and Commercial-General/Residential High Density for the property south of Newman. The northeast corner property currently used as a dental office was previously four (4) residential units. This property could legally be converted back to residential use. The multi-family apartment project on the southeast corner currently has thirteen (13) Staff Report Page Four 11/03/98 residential units. All of this housing stock appears to be in generally good condition. In the future the Agency may desire to develop commercial uses on these properties since they front on a heavy traffic arterial and are near the Foothill 210 Freeway on/off ramp. Staff believes these properties should also be subject to the proposed reauthorization of the use of eminent domain. Project Area Committee (PAC) — If exercising the power of eminent domain may displace a significant number of residential occupants, the City Council must create a Project Area Committee (PAC). Business owners and tenants, residential owners and tenants, and representatives of community organizations serving the area elect the PAC. While the City Council can determine the size and general make-up of the PAC, each group elects its own membership (e.g., residential owners elect residential owners). Neither the Agency nor the City Council is allowed to appoint members of the PAC. The PAC's main task is to consider the Agency's possible displacement of residential occupants. However, the law permits the PAC to also consider any projects or programs that may have an impact on the residents. Further, the Agency is required to provide staff and legal support to the PAC upon request. While Agency staff and Agency Special Counsel could fill these roles, this is both an administrative and financial obligation of the Agency. However, the PAC could chose outside legal counsel, at the expense of the Agency. If the PAC recommends against the adoption of the eminent domain amendment to the Central Redevelopment Plan, the City Council can adopt the amendment by a 2/3`d vote (i.e., 4 of the 5 members must approve). By law the PAC must continue to operate for at least three (3) years, with annual renewals thereafter, if the Council so desires. Staff will report back to the City Council at a future public hearing with recommendations for the size and composition of a PAC, election procedures, challenges and related issues, and a formal request to establish a PAC. In the past the Agency did not have a PAC because the original formation of the Redevelopment Project Area predated the requirement for a PAC. Schedule — The amount of time to process the amendment is somewhat dependent on the PAC's involvement. Staff estimates four to five months. A preliminary schedule is shown on Attachment 3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT An Environmental analysis is required by State law and will be completed prior to adoption of any formal amendment. Staff Report Page Five 11/03/98 FISCAL IMPACT Actual costs will be somewhat based on the level of community and PAC involvement in the process. Staff estimates amendment costs at approximately $15,000. The Agency has sufficient funds available in the Fund Balance for the purpose. RECOMMENDATION 1.

Wig DATE: November 3, 1998 TO: Arcadia Redevelopment Agency FROM: Don ,l enman, Deputy Executive Director 19 By: r;,Peter Kinnahan, Economic Development Administrator SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REVIEW FOR A 25,000 SQUARE FOOT RETAIL DEVELOPMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 214 NORTH SANTA ANITA AVENUE (R.E.I., INC., APPLICANT). SUMMARY The former Arcadia Lumber property has been purchased by R.E.I., Inc. (see location map, Attachment 1). R.E.I. is proposing to construct two buildings, a 25,000 sq. ft. retail building, including mezzanine for their own use on the southwest corner of the site, and a 11,000 sq. ft. retail building for a future tenant on the northwest corner of the site. The buildings will front on Santa Anita with parking in the rear(see concept site plan and elevations, Attachment 2). R.E.I. is anxious to open their new building as soon as possible. This conceptual Design Review is intended to provide the applicant with feedback so plans can be prepared expeditiously. Staff recommends approval of this conceptual Design Review. Formal approval of the project will take place at a future meeting. BACKGROUND Work Proposed - Construction of two (2) new single story, retail buildings is proposed at 214 North Santa Anita (former Arcadia Lumber) with related parking and landscaping. REI will build and occupy the building at the southwest corner of the site. A future unknown tenant(s) will occupy the second building. This Design Review focuses on the REI building and related parking and landscaping for the overall site. The future tenant(s) must design and construct their building compatible with the architectural style of the REI building, and will be subject to City and Agency Design Review. Applicant R.E.I., Inc., submitted by Mithun Partners (John Harrison AIA) Location: 214 North Santa Anita (Location Map,Attachment 1) Existing Land Use: Commercial (vacant buildings; formerly Arcadia Lumber) Existing Zoning: C-2 (H4) General Plan Designation: Commercial LASER IMAGED Age} l� 7 • Staff Report Page Two November 3, 1998 Redevelopment Plan Designation: Commercial General Surrounding Land Uses: North AS A Building Material; Arroyo Plumbing; zoned C-2 East MTA Rail Line, A&A Building Materials; zoned C-2 South Bank of America, Town Center Building; zoned CBD • West Summit Leasing, Domenico's Restaurant, Bank of America ATM and parking lot; zoned C-2 Site Area: 112,536 square feet Frontage: Santa Anita Avenue—270 lineal feet; Santa Clara Street—275 lineal feet; Front Street—279 lineal feet. Parking: 135 regular, 26 compact (15%). 167 spaces including 6 handicapped Parking Requirements: REI 21,000 (retail) x 5/ 1000 = 105 4.000 (storage/mezzanine)x 5 = 20 25,000 sq. ft. 125 2nd Bldg. 11,000 x 5 = 55 180 Although no parking modification is needed for just the R.E.I. building, a modification for thirteen (13) spaces will be needed assuming the second building is 11,000 sq. ft. Ample on-street parking is also available on St. Joseph, Front and Santa Clara Streets. Though it is not part of the Agency decision-making process, the rationale for a modification would be that the parking required for the mezzanine storage area for R.E.I. is much less than for the retail area. However, if a modification is not approved, the second building could be reduced in size so that the parking standard for the entire site could be met. 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. Staff Report Page Three November 3, 1998 Analysis / Design Features — The applicant has provided colored renderings and a materials board for the Santa Anita and Santa Clara facades. These plans are available for review and will be on display at the Agency meeting of November 3, 1998. The applicant will be bringing additional display materials to the November 3`I meeting. The applicant's building will be rectangular in shape with the entryway facing east toward the parking lot. The building is located near the Santa Anita right-of-way to make the setback compatible with other buildings along this street. At the Santa Anita/Santa Clara Street corner, the applicant will construct a 16 foot x 16 foot glass opening behind which will be a climbing wall, lighted at night. The exterior walls will be varied, of both textured and smooth concrete, gray in color with two (2) natural wood trellises along the Santa Anita frontage and one (1) on the Santa Clara facade. Landscaping along these walls will consist of boulders, grass, flowers, pine and similar trees. The R.E.I. logo and sales departments will be displayed on the Santa Anita and Santa Clara facades. The loading dock ramp and refuse enclosure will be located on the north side of the building. Both the loading dock ramp and refuse enclosure will be screened with landscaping. The eastern facade will have a large natural wood frame with an accented triangular metal roof above. The entryway will be framed with heavy mature landscaping indigenous to this area and drought resistant (shrubs, grass, flowers, pine trees). Traffic access to the site will be available from Santa Anita, Santa Clara and St. Joseph. Trees (36 inch box Coast Live Oaks) will be planted throughout the parking area between spaces and on the median planter islands. In total, the applicant will be planting sixty-one (61) 36 inch box trees on the site. R.E.I. is required to dedicate three (3) feet of right-of-way along both Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street for widening of the sidewalk. In return, the City is proposing to allow R.E.I. to use two (2) feet of both St. Joseph and Front Streets for a landscaping easement, since the width of the sidewalk there is greater than what Code or City policy require. The second building will be designed and constructed to be compatible with the R.E.I. building. R.E.I. will plant and maintain grass on the vacant parcel until the development occurs. This building will be subject to review by the City and the Agency at a later date. The Agency and R.E.I. are currently finalizing negotiations on an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA). This is tentatively scheduled for Agency consideration on December 1, 1998. Staff anticipates that the final Agency Design Review will also occur on December 1, 1998. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. The second building and its landscaping treatment shall be designed and constructed with materials compatible in design and style to the R.E.I. building, subject to prior written approval of the Agency and City. 2. R.E.I. shall plant and maintain grass or an approved substitute in the vacant parcel, if more than one (1) month passes prior to commencement of construction of the second building 3. The applicant shall dedicate a three (3) foot section along Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street to the City for a public right-of-way Staff Report Page Four November 3, 1998 4. The applicant shall construct new 25 foot radius cuts at Santa Anita/St. Joseph and Santa Anita/Santa Clara, necessitating relocation of storm drains 5. The applicant shall relocate the traffic signal at the northeast corner of Santa Anita and Santa Clara as a result of the construction of the new 25 foot radius cut 6. The building design, colors and materials shall conform to the exhibits (renderings, color and materials board) as presented to the Agency Board A copy of the staff report has been provided to R.E.I. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS The environmental assessment will be completed at a future date. RECOMMENDATION THAT THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVE THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN REVIEW FOR 214 N.

The retail outlet will sell hard goods and clothing for outdoor sporting activities to include Camping, Cycling, Paddling, Climbing and Skiing among others. A major feature of the project will be a 19' high climbing wall to be located at the Southwest Corner of the building. It will be visible from the main routes of vehicular traffic to and from the site. The building will be located with 10 feet from the property lines on both Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street. Landscaping will be planted along both street fronts and will include berms, boulders and trellis elements made of glu- lam beams and dimensional lumber with exposed steel connections. The building walls will be concrete panels with textured features simulating board formed casting methods. The entry canopy which faces the parking on the East of the building is a dynamic feature with glu-lam columns and beams with exposed metal fasteners supporting a standing seam metal roof. Thematically,the building is a representation of"honest use of materials"with elements utilized in their natural state including wood concrete and steel. The building has been sited to address the "urban edges" of the main streets it borders which will create a pedestrian friendly sidewalk experience. Every effort has been made to utilize landscaping to screen all utility elements including the loading dock and electrical transformer. A future tenant site is located on the Northwest corner of the site and per the City of Arcadia's request will be of a compatible design with the REI store.
