Upon Council approval, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The City will receive $14,854 in Proposition C Discretionary funding in FY 1999-00. Discussion: Proposition C is a countywide Y2 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 annually 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. 1)T.-:1. 44 `e9 tON. // 4 . Fiscal Impact: As previously mentioned, the City will receive $14,854 in Proposition C Discretionary funds to operate Arcadia Transit. This amount represents roughly 1.5% of Arcadia - Transit's FY 99-00 Operating Budget for the dial-a-ride program. These County discretionary funds relieve the City from using Proposition A or C Local Return monies.

The City will receive $6,212 in Proposition C .5% funding in FY 1999-00. Discussion Proposition C is a countywide Y2 cent sales tax dedicated for transportation services. Five percent of the Proposition C revenues are set aside by the MTA for transit security uses such as local police transit security programs. This past fiscal year, the MTA approved the FY 1999-00 Transit Security Funding Allocations and Plan to improve transit security on regional and certain municipal operated transit systems. Proposition C 5% Transit Security funds total $20 million annually Countywide. A portion of Proposition C 5% Transit Security funds are allocated to municipal operators based on the previously agreed upon formula allocation process.

The claim form was prepared by staff and will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The City will receive $311,787 in TDA funding for FY 1999-00. DISCUSSION The Transportation Development Act is a State program that provides transportation funds to local agencies. One portion of the funding, the Local Transportation Fund (LTF), is derived from 1/4 cent of the 6 cent retail sales tax collected statewide. The 1/4 cent is returned by the State Board of Equalization to each County according to taxes collected within that County. In Los Angeles County, the LACMTA distributes the funds to each of the participating municipal operators. The City will receive $289,621 in LTF monies in FY 1999- 00. The second fund source under the TDA program is the State Transit Assistance Fund (STAF). The STAF monies are derived from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuels. The funds are appropriated to the State Controller for allocation by formula to County Transportation Commissions. The allocation LASER !M E O cam . // • FY 99-00 TDA July 6, 1999 Page 2 • formula is based on the following methodology, 50% according to population and 50% according to operator revenues for the prior fiscal year. The City will receive $22,166 in STAF monies in FY 1999-00. From the two programs, Arcadia Transit will receive $311,787 in FY 1999-00. FISCAL IMPACT As previously mentioned, the City will receive $311,787 in State funds to operate Arcadia Transit. This amount represents approximately 30% of Arcadia Transit's FY 1999-00 Operating Budget. RECOMMENDATION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 6120 AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT THE TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT CLAIM FORM TO RECEIVE FUNDS FOR THE OPERATIONS OF ARCADIA TRANSIT FOR FY 1999-00. Approved: William R. Kelly, City Manager Attachment scow 1; IP re; • MEMORANDUM DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT DATE: July 6, 1999 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Don Penman, Deputy City Manager/Development Services Director By: Michael Busch, Transportation Services OfficerV' SUBJECT: Report and recommendation to authorize the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the development of a Capital Reserve Account consisting of $1 .5 million of Proposition A and $1 .0 million of Proposition C Local Return funds Summary At the conclusion of FY 98-99, the City will have an estimated balance of $2,247,726 in Proposition A funds and $2,648,623 in Proposition C funds for a combined total of.$4,896,349. In FY 99-00 the City will receive an estimated $1,120,490 in Proposition A & C Local Return funds from the MTA. Based on prior revenue trends, the City's annual allocation of Proposition A & C Local Return funds'grows at-a rate of 2 to 3 percent. Therefore, based on Staff's analysisat the conclusion of FY 02-03 the City Proposition A & C Local Return combined - balance w ill be $5,244,578. This total includes anticipated freeway soundwall projects, transit vehicle purchases and CIP projects through FY 02-03. The MTA as the administrator of Proposition A & C Local Return funds is responsible for the enforcement of ordinance regulations and to insure the appropriate and timely use of local return funds. Under the ordinances, the City has three (3) years to expend local return funds. Currently, the.City has in excess of four (4) years of local return monies. Therefore, the MTA could request the City return any local return funds which exceed three years allocation plus appropriate interest back to the MTA for reallocation. Staff is recommending the City avoid the timely use clause in the ordinance by entering into an MOU with the MTA creating a Capital Reserve Account. • /° nA / -, Discussion The Proposition A & C Local Return programs are funded by two (2) %2 cent sales tax measures approved by Los Angeles County voters to finance a transit development program. The Proposition A tax measure was approved in 1980 and the Proposition C tax measure in 1990. Local Return funds are allocated and distributed monthly to the City on a "per capita" basis by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). The City is required by the Proposition A & C ordinances to use local return funds for developing and/or improving public transit service. As a general rule, transit related projects and programs eligible under state or federal programs would also be eligible local return expenditures. The MTA as the administrator of Proposition A & C Local Return funds is responsible for the enforcement of ordinance regulations and to insure the appropriate and timely use of local return funds. Under the Ordinances, the City has three (3) years to expend local return funds. As previously mentioned, the City has in excess of four (4) years of local return monies. Therefore, the MTA could elect to de-obligate a portion of the City's current fund balance under the provision of the Proposition A & C ordinances. The City could avoid the timely use clause in the ordinance by entering into an MOU with the MTA creating a Capital Reserve Account. The establishment of a Capital Reserve Account will ensure protection from the "timely use" of funds provision in the ordinance. The Capital Reserve Account will allow the City to bank unallocated Proposition A & C Local Return funds for a future eligible capital project. The establishment of a Capital Reserve Account must be approved by the MTA Board of Directors and must receive annual approval by the Board as well. MTA staff is responsible for administration of Capital Reserve Accounts and for requests for continuation of those accounts from local agencies. Attached for your review is a five-year analysis of Proposition A & C Local Return revenues and expenditures prepared by Development Services staff. The attached represents revenues based on FY 99-00 estimates and expenditures as approved in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and prior approved projects (dial-a-ride, bus stop maintenance, soundwalls, etc.). Fiscal Impact Staff has developed a list of six (6) possible options for the Council to consider. Each option is listed below with a brief analysis of each following. • 1) Maintain the status quo and risk returning all funds to the MTA exceeding the three year "timely use of funds" clause in the Proposition A & C guidelines (est. $1 .5 million). J ✓2) * Reserve approximately $1 .5 million in Proposition A funds and $1 million in Proposition C funds towards an eligible future capital project, (ch as freeway soundwalls, Circulation improvements, •CNG Program and traffic signal upgrades. (reserving the funds for these projects does not commit the City to them) 3) * Reserve $1 million in Proposition C funds and trade $1 million of Proposition A funds (trades may jeopardize Call for Projects opportunities in the future). 4) Reassign all eligible Proposition A projects to Proposition C and trade approximately $2 million or more of Proposition A funds (same possible trade penalties as mentioned in option 3). 5) Develop additional capital projects not yet identified, such as freeway off-ramp improvements at Santa Anita and Transportation Master Plan recommendations. J 6) Revisit the Council's prior decision to purchase the property located at the ✓ proposed blue line transit station with the caveat of identifying an interim use • (i.e., 10yrs) in combination with another option as presented here • + Reserve recommendations are contingent upon receiving MTA Board approval.. It should be noted that the financial impact of each option varies. For example, option 1 would -reduce the City's Proposition A & C balance by roughly $1 million. Option 2 is the staff recommendation. This option would afford the City the opportunity to explore eligible uses of Proposition A & C without the risk of deobligation of the funds to the MTA. Staff recommends the City reserve through an MOU with the MTA an amount equal to two (2) years allocation, or a total of $2.5 million. These funds can be expended at any time provided written consent is given to the MTA. Once Capital Reserve funds are allocated the entire reserve account must comply with the "timely use" of funds clause of three (3) years from the date the Capital Reserve funds are expended. Option 3 or 4 would bring approximately $650,000 to $1 .3 million of General Fund monies into the City, however the City would lose the opportunity to apply for transportation eligible grants for a period of two (2) years from the year of trade. Currently, staff has not identified future transportation grant needs. However, the Transportation Master Plan currently under study may identify a capital project(s), which are either costly or eligible for grant funds. Should the City Council direct staff to trade available Proposition A Local Return funds all available MTA • administered grants will be ineligible to the City for a period of two (2) years from the date of trade. Option 5 calls for additional eligible Proposition A & C operating and capital projects. Potential projects may include construction of bus pads, bus shelters, freeway off-ramp improvements, freeway soundwalls and additional transit services. Option 6 would authorize staff to begin negotiations for the purchase of the remaining two parcels at 2nd Avenue and Santa Clara, the proposed mass transit site. Although the timeline of Phase II of the Pasadena Blue Line has not been established, this option will allow the City to "bank" the land for the future Blue Line Station. Staff would also pursue an interim use for the property for a period of five to ten years. Recommendation At this time, the Development Services staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the development of a Capital Reserve Account consisting of $1.5 million of Proposition A and $1.0 million of Proposition C Local Return funds.

Approval was subject to the condition that Santa Anita continue to work with the Development Services Department to enhance the exterior elevations of the towers to incorporate more elements of the existing buildings and that said final design be presented to the City Council for final review and approval. Santa Anita has submitted revised elevations that staff believes meets the • recommendations as suggested by the Development Services Department and the City Council and, therefore, is recommending that the City Council approve the exterior elevations of the towers. DISCUSSION On June 15 the City Council reviewed the size and location of the towers and approved the location subject to further design review. The Council in heir discussion suggested that the, applicant might wish to consider incorpor ting such elements as the horse frieze detail into the towers, blend the tower design into the existing architecture and incorporate details from the existing buildings which vary in architectural styles and colors in the tower design. The revised design is utilizing the exterior stucco finish and colors taken From Santa Anita's signature colors of light and dark green and buff yellow. Stucco screeds align with features of the existing building providing areas of horizontal banding visually reducing the height of the towers. The upper southwest corner areas of each tower incorporate the horse frieze detail found on the existing SART Design Rebiew July 6, 1999 R I� fl' G Poe 1 4,2pr. south façade. Lighter colored bands at the base visually lighten the towers mass at the ground level and the dark green middle layer aligns with the horizontal south façade. The upper ten (10) feet of the towers will be light green and bordered on the top and bottom by a buff colored cornice to match the adjacent parapets. The stair landings will be "open" and the stairway railings will have the same design as the fencing in the paddock area. Signing will be located over the stairway/elevator entries to identify the location of the restaurant/bar area. All of the details proposed for the towers are found on the existing buildings.

BACKGROUND' _ The CBD (Central Business District) zoning regulations were 'adopted in` April 1996. _The purpose of creating the CBD zone was.to establish new• commercial regulations for the City's "traditional downtown" and the'Central_Redevelopment Project Area. The regulations within the CBD zone are intended to'promote a strong pedestrian orientation through its mix of permitted uses and 'specific development standards.. _As a means of promoting the "downtown" image the regulations were designed to encourage-retail along Huntington_Drive`:and First Avenue. Thiswas accomplished by restricting the front 1/3 of the buildings along these_two streets to retail uses only.. Since adoption of the regulations, there have been several requests by property owners along Huntington Drive to consider deleting the restriction requiring that CC Report T.A. 99-005 July 6, 1999 Pa e1 ►reJ-e a// La ER IMAGED the front one-third (1/3) of a building along Huntington Drive be utilized as retail. In March, 1998 the City Council considered a request of this nature but voted to allow more time to.determine if the retail restriction would accomplish its intended .-- purpose.: In August, 1998, John Howell on behalf of Faye Stabler, owner of the property at 34 East Huntington Drive, submitted a letter to the City Council requesting that the Council consider amendments to the CBD regulations to include hardship exemptions to permit uses other than retail businesses within the front one-third of a building along Huntington Drive.

The staff report was presented. Ms. Butler said that the proposal includes changing of the zoning on North First Ave. . The public hearing was opened. „ . Garland Roberson, Sullivan Paints, 134 E. Huntington Dr., -subinitted a petition signed by the owners/tenants on North First Ave. who were against the change on North First Ave. He asked staff why this area was included. Ms. Butler explained that several property owners along Huntington Dr. had expressed concern that it has been very difficult to lease their properties. A letter was submitted to the CityCOuricil from an attorney representing one of the property owner's along Huntington Dr.-requesting that the City Arcadia City Planning Commission 3 5/25/99 • . . Council consider amendment so the CBD regulations to include hardship exemptions to permit uses other than retail businesses within the front one-third of a building along Huntington Dr. It was the consensus of both the City Council and the Planning Commission to amend the regulations by deleting the requirement that the front 1/3 of the ground floor area of a building be utilized for retail sales along Huntington Dr. and North First Ave. Mr. Roberson said that it is very difficult to have a retail business on Huntington Dr. It is not easy to try to catch the attention of the drive-by traffic. But, it is different on First Ave. because traffic travels much slower. He remarked that Ms. Stabler had a tuxedo store, a retail businesses, that wanted to lease from her but they required improvements of approximately $50,000,which she did not want to do. So, there is interest from retail businesses to locate on Huntington Dr. • He went on to say that there has not been any problems with vacancy so why would they want to change the requirement?" He stated that if an'existing office use vacates,another office use could''' occupy the same space. In response to a question by Council Member Marshall, Mr. Roberson stated that prior to changing the regulations and definitions nail and beauty salons were categorized as "retail uses" but the new regulations better defined retail uses as ones'that'75% Of the gross receipts are derived from retail ... , •.' -•_ - Commissioner Huang remarked that nail and beauty salons increase foot traffic. =' Mr. Roberson disagreed and said that once the customer is done they leave and do not patronize the adjacent businesses. The businesses will soon remain open until 8:00 p.m., one night.a.week, to hopefully attract more customers:• There is more retail business in'the downtown area now than a couple of years ago. The City needs to envision what they want in this area in ten years and start working toward that goal now. Commissioner Huang replied that office employees would probably not,patronize -the re tail '- businesses because the employees would come in the morning and leave in the afternoon. Ivlr. Roberson replied that office use generates less traffic. In order for a downtown to grow, it needs a variety of retail uses.. No one else spoke in favor of or in opposition to this item. Chairman Kalemkiarian closed the public hearing. - In response.to a question by _Commissioner, Murphy, Ms. ,Butler replied: that -the. Planning Commission"could exclude North First`Ave. froth this text amendment. North First Ave. has a different character from South First Ave. where streets are narrower and is more pedestrian friendly. The shops on Huntington Dr. are destination shops where people go when they need something such- as the frame and bike shops, whereas, people can stroll down South First Ave. where there are a variety of shops to browse in. Huntington Dr. is not as:quaint and as.pedestrian friendly as South First Ave. Arcadia City Planning Commission 4 5/25/99 Chairman Kalemkiarian felt the zoning should not change. Downtown Arcadia will never be like Old Town Pasadena. He thought that 1/3 retail is too restrictive on North First Ave. because it is not a typical retail. Commissioner Murphy was agreeable to the amendment but did not think that North First Ave. should be included. He pointed out that neither the property owners nor tenants on North First Ave. are in favor of the change but it made sense to change the requirement on Huntington Dr. Commissioner S Teeter agreed and commented that this was an issue with the property owners on Huntington Dr. and not on North First Ave. If the business owners and property owners w ant it to remain as it is then it should not be changed.. ' Ms. Butler explained that if a building is utilized as an office use it could continue to occupy the same type of a use once it is vacated. For example, if the mortgage o ffice left on North First Ave. the next use could be an office use MOTION It was moved by.Commissioner Murphy, seconded by Commissioner Sleeter to recommend•approval of TA 99-005 to the City Council to amend the code by deleting the requirement:. that the front 1/3 of the ground floor area be utilized for retail sales along Huntington Drive only.

As part of this process, staff prepared and circulated a Request for Proposal (RFP) to four experienced redevelopment consulting firms. These firms were requested to state how they would assist the Agency with the preparation of the legally required documents, including an environmental assessment of the project. Their work is to be in two phases: Phase 1 is a preliminary feasibility analysis of two "threshold" issues - is the area "blighted" as the term is defined in the California redevelopment law and ARA-Contract for Svcs.memo p, LASE?

ANALYSIS A. DESIGN FEATURES The Applicant, Andrew Pasterko of Gasoline Retail Facilities Consulting, has prepared and provided colored elevations of the building dated June 9, 1999. They are available for review in the Economic Development Office and will be on display • at the Agency meeting of July 6. • The Applicant proposes to replace the existing full brick veneer on all sides of the building with a gray split face concrete block wainscoting approximately 3 feet high. Above that will be an off-white stucco finish. Glass doors will be installed at the front (south). • • Attached to the rear (north) of the building will be a trash enclosure (14' x 5')finished in gray block veneer with the double steel doors painted off-white. Three planter tubs (36" in diameter) will be placed in front of the building, on top of the 7-foot wide decorative concrete sidewalk. Also, a planter (36" in diameter) will be placed on each end of the 2 pump islands. Existing planters on two sides of the building (east &west) will be rebuilt to attach to the building and match the new block veneer. • • • Design Review Page 4 07/06/99 Planters along the east boundary of the site will be extended to meet with the sidewalk, with a 4-foot block wall as an extension to the existing wall. The existing planter at the southwest corner of site will be expanded to 150 Sq. Ft. B. STAFF CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL • The plants in the planters shall be mature plants of at least medium height (4 foot minimum). • The Conditions of Approval (i.e.: Design, Security) as set forth in CUP 99-009 shall be required. (See Attachment 2) C. AGENCY RESOLUTION 172 (ARA 172) Agency Resolution 172, adopted on Jan 1993, includes a gas station as an "Inappropriate use" in the Redevelopment Project Area. However, ARA 172 also permits a waiver of this prohibition for "a building or project of unusual economic significance." The site is presently used for a gas station with two service bays. The applicant now proposes to remodel the building by constructing a convenience mart in the existing service building. Upon completion the City stands to receive additional sales taxes from the sale of gasoline and convenience items. In the 3rd quarter of 1998, ten of the City's gas/stations were in the top 100 sales tax producers in the City; three were in the top 20. There is therefore strong potential for this station/ convenience mart to generate significant sales taxes to the City. Further, this site, with its good location on two arterials and near a Freeway on-ramp, is particularly suitable for a gas station/convenience store use. The relatively small size of the lot does not make it attractive to other commercial, office or retail uses, except possibly fast food, a use which is inappropriate per ARA 172. Additionally, the convenience use will be better aesthetically than the service bays for automated repair. Staff therefore recommends a waiver of ARA 172 to permit the continued use of the site for a gas station and convenience store. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS The Planning Commission, as part of their review of CUP 99-009, adopted a Negative Declaration for this Project .
