The Agreement provides for two (2), one-year contract extensions. This is the second requested extension, and if approved, will be effective immediately. Sheldon Mechanical has submitted a written offer to extend the contract in accordance with Section 7 of the existing Agreement. The contractor's offer of extension indicates a cost of living adjustment of approximately three percent or $1,152 per year, without changing the conditions of the original Agreement. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the second one-year HVAC maintenance contract extension with Sheldon Mechanical in the amount of $40,024 for fiscal year 2000-2001. DISCUSSION: The Public Works Services Department is responsible for the day-to-day operation and basic troubleshooting of the City facilities' heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC). The contractor is responsible for system repairs and performing a detailed preventive maintenance schedule that is outlined in the contract scope of work. The contract provides for systematic scheduling and consolidation of maintenance tasks for multiple departments and facilities. The detailed preventive maintenance schedule minimizes the incidence of schedule duplication and the necessity for unscheduled maintenance repair services. LASER IMAGED AGED / G -�-: } Mayor and City Council June 6, 2000 Page 2 Sheldon Mechanical has submitted a written offer to renew this contract in accordance with Section 7 of the existing Agreement. The offer indicates a cost of living adjustment of approximately three percent or $1,152 per year, without changing the conditions of the original Agreement. Due to their knowledge of our system and high quality of service, staff believes that the cost of living adjustment is reasonable. Staff concludes that extending the existing Agreement will ensure that the superior quality service being performed by Sheldon Mechanical will continue through the next fiscal year. • FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the 2000-2001 Operating Budget for this contract. The total amount of the service contract with Sheldon Mechanical is $40,024. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Award a one (1) year contract extension in the amount of $40,024 to Sheldon Mechanical for maintenance of the citywide heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for fiscal year 2000-2001. 2. Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a contract amendment on behalf of the City. PM:DM:CL:dw:kb Approved: William R. Kelly, City Manager ` SGT ehi /7.i- c STAFF REPORT' PUBLIC WORKS SERVICES DEPARTMENT June 6, 2000 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Pat Malloy, Public Works Services Director Prepared by: Dave McVey, General Services Superi tendent Chris Ludlum, Management Analyst Reviewed by: Tracey Hause, Administrative Services Direct SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $30,480 TO SHELDON MECHANICAL CORPORATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A 30-TON CHILLER FOR THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS SUMMARY: The 1999/2000 Capital Improvement Program provides for the replacement of a 30-ton chiller unit located at the City Council Chamber facility. The project consists of the complete removal of the existing unit and installing an energy efficient 30-ton aluminum chiller unit. Bids for this project were opened on May 8, 2000, as advertised by the City Clerk. The successful low bid was submitted by Sheldon Mechanical Corporation in the amount of $30,480. Staff recommends that the City Council award a contract for this project to Sheldon Mechanical Corporation. • DISCUSSION: The existing 30-ton chiller at the Council Chamber facility controls the climate for the City Council's Chamber, Conference Room, and the Police Department's shooting range. This twenty-four (24) year old unit has required numerous repairs to correct high/low pressure problems and requires the replacement of electrical equipment such as voltage overload protection devices and contactors. The existing unit is unreliable and has required numerous service calls during the past year. The chiller's electrical equipment is in need of replacement and the chiller's aluminum cooling coil (the unit that provides the refrigeration system) is structurally fatigued and beyond repair. Additionally, the metal braces that support the cooling coil are worn, allowing the unit to vibrate excessively causing metal fatigue and damage to other related equipment. This project is scheduled to be completed by July 30, 2000. LASER WAGED @o,,,/- rG eit‘ Mayor and City Council - June 6, 2000 Page 2 The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised and published in the local trade publications. The City Clerk publicly opened four (4) responses on May 8, 2000. Sheldon Mechanical Corporation was the selected contractor based on the lowest qualified bid. The bid results are as follows: BIDDER LOCATION BID AMOUNT Sheldon Mechanical Corp. Sun Valley $30,480.00 Aes / Stellar Air Inc. Van Nuys $31,276.00 FM Thomas Air Brea $35,447.00 Conditioning Engineered Mechanical Van Nuys $36,223.00 Services This project was originally budgeted to replace the old chiller with a more durable and expensive copper manufactured system. However, when this project was budgeted, the weight of the copper system and the structural capacity of the roof were not calculated. As staff prepared to bid this project, during structural calculations, it was discovered that the existing roof structure could not support the heavier copper chiller system. Staff compared the alternatives and decided that it would be more cost effective to replace the unit with an in-kind aluminum manufactured chiller. The lighter aluminum unit will not require modifications to the roof structure. This change resulted in a project significantly less than originally planned. Staff has reviewed the bid documents for content, and has investigated the contractor's background and recent projects for competency. It is staffs opinion that Sheldon Mechanical can satisfactorily perform the work required. ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT: This project is categorically exempt per Section 15302 (c) replacement from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $60,000 have been appropriated in the 1999/2000 Equipment Acquisition Fund for this project. The contract cost to replace a 30-ton chiller for the City Council Chambers is $30,480. Mayor and City Council:._ June 6, 2000 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Award a Contract in the amount of $30,480 to Sheldon Mechanical Corporation for the replacement of the City Council Chamber 30-ton chiller. 2. Authorize the City Manager and the City Clerk to execute a contract in a form approved by the City Attorney. PM:DM:CL:dw:kb Approved by: , G William R.

[ ] Land Use & Planning [ ] Hazards [ ] Population&Housing [ ] Noise [ ] Geological Problems [ ] Public Services [ ] Water [ ] Utilities and Service Systems [ ] Air Quality [ ] Aesthetics [ ] Transportation/Circulation [ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Biological Resources [ ] Resources [. ] Energy and Mineral Resources [ ] Mandatory Finding of Significance DETERMINATION (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: [X I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared: [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. [ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, but that at least one effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document _ pursuant to applicable legal standards and has been addressed by mitigation measures based on that earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, and if any remaining effect is a "Potentially Significant Impact" or "Potentially Significant -2- CEQA Checklist 7/95 File No.: TA 00-001 Unless Mitigated," an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but • • it only needs to analyze the effects that have not yet been addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant effect in this case because all potentially significant effects have been analyzed adequately in •an earlier Environmental Impact Report purstuanttrto applicable standards and have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project. By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator For: The City of Arcadia Development Services Department Date: December 16, 1999 Signature EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: • 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects such as the one involved (e.g., the project is not within a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g.,the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction related as well as operational impacts. 3. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an Environmental Impact Report is required. . 4. "Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a `Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level(mitigation measures from Section 17"Earlier Analyses"may be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering, program Environmental Impact Report, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration {Section 15063(c)(3)(D)}. Earlier analyses are discussed in.Section 17 at the end of the checklist. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist,references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning.ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate,include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. -3- CEQA Checklist 7/95 File No.: Z-00-OQ1 Less Than Potentially Significant Less Than Significant With Significant No Impact Mitigation Impact Impact .

FIRST AVENUE AND ADOPTION OF CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 6179; A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA APPROVING GENERAL PLAN CHANGE 00-001 FROM INDUSTRIAL TO MIXED-USE — COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL (MC — C/I) AT '223 NORTH FIRST AVENUE. SUMMARY Richard T. Hale Jr., filed an application requesting a General Plan change.(GPI 00- 001) from Industrial to Mixed Use — Commercial/Industrial (MC — C/I) for the property at 223 N. First Avenue. The Planning Commission at its May 9, 2000 meeting voted 5-0 to recommend to the City Council approval of the requested General Plan Amendment. I BACKGROUND The subject property is located at the southwest corner of First Avenue and St. Joseph Street, and consists of four parcels of land as shown on the attached site plan. Two of the parcels, Parcel 1 and 2, are owned by the City Transit Fund, which was purchased in October 1996 to secure the property for a possible future mass transit (Blue Line) station. Both of the parcels are improved as parking lots. Though currently owned by the City Transit Fund, the parcels were initially acquired separately. The City acquired parcel 2 in 1973 and the parcel was then leased to the former Acapulco Restaurant as a parking lot that was located across First Avenue at the southeast corner. The restaurant was severely damaged in the 1987 Whittier LASER IMAGED earthquake, and was ultimately demolished in 1989 because the cost of rehabilitating the building was too high. The parking lot lease with the City was then terminated. The Redevelopment Agency acquired parcel 1 from the estate of the former owner of the Acapulco Restaurant in 1991. The Agency in cooperation with the City Council determined in 1994 that they would designate the entire triangular shaped corner lot for a future mass transit station for the "Blue Line". As a result, the Agency and City sold their respective parcels to the City Transit Fund in October 1996. Because of continuing political, organizational, legal, and budgetary problems with the Blue Line, the City Council determined that construction of the Blue Line in the foreseeable future was doubtful. Therefore, the City is proposing to sell the parcels to the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") who will then sell the property to the Hale Corporation (the "Developer") to develop a two-story office complex. The proposal will be scheduled before the Agency/City.Council on June 6, 2000. The proposal is for approval of a Disposition Development Agreement between the Agency and the Developer for the sale of City owned land for the development of a 19,500 sq. ft. two-story office complex, and architectural design review of the proposal. This General Plan Amendment hearing to change the site's General Plan Designation from Industrial to Mixed Use — Commercial/Industrial is provided under separate cover. DISCUSSION Prior to 1981 the property was zoned M-1. On September 8, 1981 the Planning Commission approved a zone change for the subject property from M-1 (Planned Industrial District) to C-M (Commercial -Manufacturing). The C-M zone designation afforded a transition zone between commercial and industrial properties since developments surrounding the site included both commercial as well as industrial uses. The current C-M zoning designation of the property permits the development of the - proposed office complex. However, construction of an office complex is inconsistent with the current "Industrial" General Plan designation. Per Government Code Section 65402 prior to the sale of property, the Planning Agency must make a finding that the General Plan and Zoning are consistent. The Planning Commission has recommended approval of this General Plan change that would bring the General Plan into conformity with the existing C-M zoning designation. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission at its May 9, 2000 meeting voted to recommend to the City Council approval of the General Plan Amendment. GP00-001rpt(CC)1Gpfile GP 00-001 June 6, 2000 Page 2 • • The Planning Commission in its consideration, however, requested that the City Council consider the design and elevation of the building carefully and to explore the possibility of shared parking for the property should the Blue Line ever come to the City. The Planning. Commissioners were concerned that the.development -of the proposed office complex would negate the possibility of a Blue Line Station in the City. Staff informed the Commissioners that a station could be located on the south side of the railroad tracks along with a parking lot. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION 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 GP change. RECOMMENDATION -Generally, Development Services does not encourage General Plan changes for one parcel of land. However, .the proposed General Plan Amendment would' be consistent with the Redevelopment Plan for the Central Redevelopment Plan Area and the C-M zoning designation. The proposed development would create approximately 60 new permanent jobs. The employees will eat at the downtown restaurants and purchase goods at downtown stores, further benefiting the economic growth of the downtown project area. Also, the physical appearance of this portion of the Project Area will be improved through the elimination of a deteriorated parking lot. This may also stimulate improvements to other properties along North First Avenue. The proposed development will be compatible with the surrounding industrial and commercial uses. The Planning Commission and Development Services Department recommend approval of the proposed General Plan change from Industrial to Mixed Use Commercial/ Industrial (MU-CI).

Biological Resources —' Cultural Resources ^' Geology/Soils • - Hazards &Hazardous — Hydrology/Water Quality ^' Land Use/Planning Materials • — Noise — Population/Housing - Mineral Resources — Recreation — Transportation/Traffic - Public Services Mandatory Findings of Utilities/Service Systems Significance.. DETERMINATION(To be completed by the Lead Agency): On the basis of this initial evaluation: — I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. - I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent.A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ^- I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. - I find that the proposed project MAY have a"potentially significant or"potentially significant unless mitigated"impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed, I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project,nothing further is required. • 4/13/2000 Signature Date Kenneth Phung CITY OF ARCADIA Printed Name For • CITY/RVPUB/20002000/546265 FORM “3-,, Page 2 of 4 • • EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g.the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A"No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant • Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses,"may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analyses Used.

SUMMARY Mr. Richard Hale of The Hale Corporation, Monrovia, and Mr. Matt Waken of Waken Development, LLC, Arcadia propose to construct a 19,500 sq. ft. two-story office building on the southwest corner of North First Avenue and East St. Joseph Street. To assist in this development, the City proposes to sell the two City (Transit Fund) parcels (see Site Map, Attachment 1) to the Redevelopment Agency for $303,000, the price the City (Transit Fund) paid for the two parcels in'1996, and the Agency proposes to sell the two parcels to Waken Development, LLC (Waken) for$294,041, the appraised purchase price. Mr. Waken will then be required to construct a 19,500 sq. ft. two-story office building by August 10, 2001. The following actions are recommended as part of this report: 1. Agency adoption of Resolution 185 approving Amendment #1 to the Agency's Five Year Implementation Plan and Housing Program (1.999-2004), approving a Negative Declaration for the project, authorizing the sale of the two parcels to Waken Development, LLC, and approving the June 6,Disposition and Development Agreement with Waken. 2. City Council adoption of Resolution 6176 approving a Negative Declaration for the project, authorizing the sale of the parcels to the Agency, approving the Summary Report, and approving the DDA with Waken. ,4-,07)- a d___A - .

City Council adoption of Resolution 6175, dedicating a 10-foot strip (1,080± sq. ft. on the east) for public street and roadway purposes. 4. Agency approval of the Design Review (with conditions) for the proposed two-story brick facade development (Attachment 2). 5. Appropriation by the Agency of$310,000 to acquire the property and pay related costs. Staff is recommending approval of all of the above actions. DISCUSSION History The Agency in 1994 designated the triangular parcel formed by St. Joseph Street, First Avenue and the MTA Railroad tracks and the area to the west of it on Front Street as a possible future mass transit site. At that time, the Agency owned the corner"L" -shaped parcel, the City (Water Fund) owned the eastern rectangular parcel, and the balance of the property was for sale by the private owner (see Location Map, Attachment 1). The Agency following an appraisal entered into negotiations with the Catellus Corporation to acquire the 30,610 sq. ft. "saw tooth" property to the west in order to consolidate the entire triangular area into one mass transit site. After lengthy discussions and review of environmental documents by the Agency's environmental attorney, the Agency elected not to proceed with the acquisition of the western parcel. As a result, the Agency and City (Water Fund)following an appraisal sold their parcels to the City Transit Fund in 1996. Subsequently, the western "saw tooth" property was sold by Catellus to another private.party. Mr. Waken is currently in escrow to acquire this property. However, without the City property, development is problematic at best. Implementation Plan Amendment The Agency Board in December 1999 adopted Resolution 183, which approved the Agency's Five-Year Implementation Plan and Housing Program (1999-2004). Pursuant to the plan, the Agency was to work with the City for a mass transit station at the location. Mr. Hale (on behalf of Mr. Waken) submitted a proposal to acquire the City lots and construct the 20,000 sq. ft: office building in January 2000. In February 2000, the Agency directed staff to proceed to negotiate a Disposition and Development Agreement with Mr: Hale since the Agency believes that an extension of the proposed MTA "Blue Line" beyond Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena is very remote, and that there is more to be gained by allowing development of the site than by simply , City Council & Arcadia levelopment Agency June 6, 2000 Page 3 "land-banking" it for an unknown and extend ed number of years. As a result, the 1999 Implementation Plan must be amended. • Amendment.One (Attachment 6) has been prepared reflecting the above change in development plan. The Amendment also establishes a more formal annual Agency capital improvement program. The current 1999 Implementation Plan identified the larger capital projects, e.g., Front Street/St. Joseph reconstruction, Santa Anita Entry Corridor that are in the public right of way separately and discusses smaller capital projects (e.g., traffic signals, lighting, sidewalks) only generically. The amendment more clearly establishes a comprehensive and flexible annual process whereby the Agency establishes its own Capital Improvement Program. Public Right of Way (Sidewalk) North First Avenue was widened by the City in the early 1970's. It appears from public records that the eastern 10 feet of parcel 905 (as shown on Exhibit 1) was to have been dedicated as an easement for public street and highway purposes (a sidewalk is currently on the strip), but it was not dedicated. The action recommended by staff, adoption of City Council Resolution 6175 (Attachment 4), simply makes official what in fact exists. Design Review . Mr. Hale and Mr. Waken propose to construct a 19,500 sq. ft. two-story office building on the northeastern corner of the triangular parcel (see Attachment 2). All facades will be in standard red/brown brick with bronze tinted.windows. The large glass main entry way is recessed, and the windows are enlarged at the building corners to provide architectural relief. There is a deep scoring line separating the roof parapet from the patterned brick façade below. There will be a four-foot monument sign on North First Avenue. Although both the signing and landscaping are concept only and will require subsequent Development Services Department review, the plans transmitted April 27 and received April 28 call for eleven 24" evergreens along the fence line separating the office project from the rail line, a mix of 24" and 36", and 48" box trees in the planter areas around the building and in the parking lot with color shrubs around the access driveways and the building itself. The building will have the required 78 parking spaces. Staff is recommending the following additional requirements to the Design: 0 All trees as shown on the Landscape Plan dated 4/28/00 shall be at least 36-inch box trees. o The developer shall plant at least six trees in the landscaped area north of the proposed building along St. Joseph and at least three trees in the landscaped area east of the proposed building along First Avenue. j City Council & Arcadia ,,,-development Agency June 6, 2000 Page 4 • The developer shall construct stamped concrete or pavers at all driveway entrances, approximately 10-feet wide, and at the building entrance as shown on the Landscape Plans received 4/28/00. • All signs, e.g., on the building and monument signs, shall be compatible in design, location, and material with the building architecture. Channel letters are required on the building facades. • The final landscaping/irrigation and signage'plans shall be approved by the Deputy Executive Director prior to issuance of a building permit. • Construction of the development shall be consistent with this Design Review, the plans received 4/28/00 and the color rendering presented at tonight's meeting, the Color and Materials Board, and with the final Landscape/irrigation and Signage Plans approved by the Agency Deputy Executive Director. A colored elevation and the Color and Materials Board is available for review in the Development Services Department, Economic Development Division, and will be on . display at the Council/Agency•meeting on June 6. r. _ • Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) Pursuant to Agency direction, a DDA was prepared by Agency Counsel, Kevin Randolph, of Best, Best & Krieger, and negotiated with Mr. Waken (Attachment 4). The following actions are required prior to implementation of the DDA: • The City will dedicate the 10-foot strip (1,080 ± sq. ft. ) on the east side of parcel 905 (see Attachment 1) as an easement for public street and highway purposes. • The City (Transit Fund) will convey their two parcels to the Agency for the same price of$303,000 it paid in 1996. Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) regulations require that the sales price of property bought using Proposition A or C funds be the greater of the purchase price or the current appraised value. In this case, since the Transit Fund paid $303,000 for the property in 1996, it cannot sell it for less than that price. The DDA then requires: - • The Agency will convey the two parcels to Waken for$294,041 (the appraisal value). This value is based on an opinion of value provided by an appraiser (Anchor Pacific Company of San Marino) mutually agreed upon by staff and Mr. Waken. Mr. Waken has agreed that the acquisition price which equates to $14.26 sq. ft. is for the entire parcel, prior to the dedication of the 10-foot easement. • Mr. Waken will design and construct a 19,500 sq. ft. two-story office building and related parking and landscaping per the plans attached to the DDA and this Agency Report (Attachment 2). City Council & Arcadia I evelopment Agency June 6, 2000 Page 5 • The Developer shall pay $10,000 toward the Purchase Price prior to Agency approval • of the DDA. The Agency can retain this amount (plus interest) if the developer fails to perform. • The office building shall be completed by June 30, 2001. A Summary (Disposition) Report (Attachment 5) has been prepared pursuant to Redevelopment Law, describing in more detail the project, the economic costs and revenues, and benefits to both the City and Agency and, following Notice, made available for public inspection. • A companion item to this report, under separate cover—a proposed General Plan Amendment recommended by the Planning Commission is on tonight's Agenda for • approval.' The Planning Commission at their May 9, 2000, meeting also made the necessary finding per Government Code Section 65402 that, assuming Council adoption of the General Plan Amendment, the proposed office development is consistent with the General Plan. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT An Initial Study of the two land sales, the easement dedication, and the proposed office development has been prepared. Based upon this, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for both the City and Agency. Notice of the proposed Negative Declaration, proposed DDA, proposed Implementation Plan Amendment, and the Public Hearings was published in the Arcadia Weekly and posted in four places in the Project area as required by law and the Agency's Guidelines. FINANCIAL IMPACT City– Revenue There will be Land Sale proceeds to the City Transit Fund - $303,000; plus Building related fees and minor Business License fees. Agency– Expenditures The Agency will pay $310,000 to acquire the.two City Transit parcels ($303,000) and an estimated $7,000 for other administrative expenses (legal/escrow) Revenues There will be Land Sale proceeds from Waken Development, LLC, of$294,041 (difference $8,959). The estimated annual tax increment to Agency will be $20,000- $22,000 • 1 , City Council & Arcadia F welopment Agency June 6, 2000 Page 6 • • RECOMMENDATION • It is recommended that the City Council and Arcadia Redevelopment Agency open a Joint Public Hearing pursuant to Health and Safety Code Sections 33431, 33433, and 33490, and following the Public Hearing: Agency Actions It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency: 1.

I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent.A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. - I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. - I find that the proposed project MAY have a"potentially significant or"potentially significant unless mitigated"impact on the environment,but at least one effect 1)has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2)has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. -.. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment,because all potentially significant effects (a)have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and(b)have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION,including revisions or mitigation measures that are i posed upon e proposed project,nothing further is required. / ,e 4/13/2000 Sign tore Date Peter Kinnahan ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Printed Name For CITY/RVPUB/20002000/546265 FORM ''J" Page 2 of 4 T � EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except"No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved(e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved,including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur,then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant,less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more."Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. • 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier analyses may be used where,pursuant to the tiering,program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were • within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are"Less than Significant with Mitigation• Measures Incorporated,"describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.

A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats;however, lead agencies should normally address the questions form this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any,used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified,if any,to reduce the impact to less than significance. • • CITY/RVPUB/2000/313785 FORM"J" Page 4 of 4 u• HALEDEVELOPMENT SITE w , z w w z w > 1 < E.

HALE PROJECT DISPOSITION REPORT The following Disposition Report is prepared pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33433 and serves to describe the terms and conditions of a Disposition and Development Agreement (the "DDA") between the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") and Waken Development, LLC (the "Developer"). 1. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION Summary: The DDA provides for the development of two City owned properties located at the southwest corner of First Avenue and St. Joseph Street (Location Map, Exhibit A) by the Developer. Parcel 1 —APN 5773-006-905; also 52-58 St. Joseph or 233 North First; Parcel 2 —APN 5773-006-909 also 219-223 North First. Under this development plan the City intends to sell the 2 parcels to the Agency; the Agency will then convey the 2 parcels to the developer. The developer will construct a 19,500 square foot 2-story office building (see Exhibit B) on these 2 parcels and on the 2 privately owned parcels totaling 50,000 +/- square feet to the south and west. Discussion: The two combined City owned parcels total approximately 20,620 square feet (including a 10 foot wide strip to be dedicated for public street and roadway purposes) at the southwest corner of First Avenue and St. Joseph Street. Both parcels are currently owned by the City Transit fund. Both parcels are improved as parking lots, with related landscaping and irrigation systems. The lots are in poor condition. Though currently owned by the City Transit - - - fund, the parcels were initially acquired separately. Parcel 2 (905) was acquired in 1973 by the City using Water funds. Staff has been unable to locate files which would indicate why or how this parcel was acquired by the Water Department. The parcel was leased (along with Parcel 1 - 909) to the former Acapulco Restaurant owner whose restaurant was located across First Street at the southeast corner. The Acapulco Restaurant was severely damaged in the 1987 Whittier earthquake. The building was ultimately demolished in 1989 because the cost of rehabilitation was apparently too expensive. The parking lot lease with the City was then terminated. Parcel 1 was acquired from the estate of the former owner of the Acapulco Restaurant by the Agency in 1991. The Agency in cooperation with the City Council, determined in 1994 that they would designate the entire 51,230 square foot triangular shaped corner for a possible future mass transit station for the "Blue Line" or other mass transit systems. Attachment 5 As a result, the Agency and City (Water) sold their respective parcels to the City Transit fund in October, 1996 in order to "land bank" the property for a possible future mass transit (Blue Line) station. This policy was followed by the Agency in December 1999 when the Board adopted the "Five Year Implementation Plan and Housing Program (1999-2004). However, due to continuing political, organizational, legal, and budgetary problems with the Blue Line, the City Council has determined that construction of the Blue Line beyond Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena in the foreseeable future is very doubtful. The parcels have no other use for the City and can be sold. The Agency therefore contemplates that it will amend the 1999 Implementation Plan and that the City will sell its 2 parcels to the Agency and the Agency will, through the proposed DDA, sell the parcels to the developer, Waken Development. The Developer proposes to construct a 19,500 square foot 2-story office building (see Exhibit B) on the entire 51,230 square foot triangular southwest corner of First Avenue and St. Joseph which includes the two City owned parcels as well as the privately - owned "saw-toothed" parcel which the developer is buying. (See Exhibit A) The sales price of the parcel in 1996 when the City Water Fund and the Agency sold their respective parcels to the City Transit Fund was $15.51 per square foot (blended average). Parcel 1 — 909 (Agency owned) - $162,000 ($16.50 per s.f./9,820 s.f.) Parcel.2 — 905 (City Water owned) - $141,000 ($14.50/s.f./9720 s.f.; net of 1080 s.f. easement. If the full 10,800 square foot site is considered, that is, including the 10 foot easement strip, the actual sales price per square foot is $13.05.) Total - $303,000 (19,540 s.f.; $15.51/s.f.) The property (i.e., parcels 905 and 909 taken together)was appraised in March, 2000. The value as determined by Anchor Pacific Company was $276,491 to $278,640 ($14.15 to $14.26 per square foot), using the19,540 net square footage. The Agency however as part of negotiations with Mr. Waken, is requiring payment of$14.26 per square foot for all of Parcel 905 that is, a 10,800 square foot parcel (versus a 9,720 s.f. parcel), or$154,008. (This is equal to an actual net per square foot value of$15.84) The total of the two parcels is then, based upon the negotiated price with Waken, $294,041. Because the property was acquired by the City's Transit Fund using Proposition C money, the sale of the parcels must comply with the MTA Prop A and C Local Return Guidelines (FY99), specifically Article IV, paragraph H(pg. 27), which says: "General Guidelines for repayment are as follows: Land: Repayment of purchase price or appraised value whichever is greater" Because the 1996 purchase price is higher than the 2000 appraised value, the City Transit Fund must be paid $303,000. For this reason, the Agency is acquiring the property at the 1996 value ($303,000) and reselling it to the developer at the fair market value determined by Anchor Pacific Company, as negotiated ($294,041). The difference in the sales price is $8,559. The reason for the higher appraisal and consequently sales value of the parcels in 1996 was due to two major facts: 1) there were very few comparable sales in Arcadia for the area upon which the 1996 appraiser (Hjelmstrom) could base his opinion. As a result, he had to use numerous sales and make inferior/superior adjustments of comparability, 2) within the last 18 months there are several actual sales in the immediate geographic area of the site, including one immediately across First Avenue, and these sales are markedly comparable, although of lesser value than that estimated in 1996. The appraisal reports and related correspondence is available in the Economic Development Division offices, Development Services Department, City Hall, 240 W. Huntington Drive, Arcadia, CA 91006. (626-574-5408) The development schedule in the DDA anticipates completing construction of the new office building by June 30, 2001. 2. A.

FUTURE AGENCY REVENUE The Agency estimates the annual tax increment from the sale of the private parcel to the west, the sale of the Agency properties and the construction of the office building to be approximately $20,000 - $22,000. There will be some minor City revenues for the building permit and for annual business license fees. 4. ADDRESSING BLIGHT The Agency's Five Year Implementation Plan, Fiscal Years 1999/00 through 2004/05 (adopted on December 7, 1999 by Resolution No. ARA 183), identifies blighted conditions which will be addressed by the completion of this proposed infill opportunity development. This report is on file and available for review in the Economic Development Division Office. In addition, the Agency proposes to amend its 1999 Five Year Implementation Plan to change the proposed use of this site from mass transit station to office project. Through the DDA negotiation and development process the Agency's goal of eliminating blight on this site will be fulfilled. The triangular shaped property is essentially vacant and does not contribute positively to the area. The addition of this project as proposed combined with other quality developments in the area such as REI, the Hilton and Marriott hotels, and the proposed Morris/Church of the Nazarene office building will have a positive influence on other development in the downtown area. Approximately 60 new permanent jobs will be brought to Arcadia and the project area. These employees will eat at the downtown restaurants and purchase goods at downtown stores, further benefiting the economic growth of the downtown project area. If in time the "Blue Line" or other transit mode using the MTA corridor comes to this location, there is vehicular access and land on the west side of the MTA line for a transit station. - 5. PROJECT BENEFITS This project serves the purpose of meeting a number of goals as outlined in the Redevelopment Plan for the Central Redevelopment Project Area. The goals and benefits include: A. An estimated 100 jobs will be created through construction on the site as well as an estimated 60 permanent jobs when the office building opens. Increased employee payrolls will result in additional indirect tax receipts to the City due to discretionary purchases in Arcadia stores, restaurants, and hotels. B. The physical appearance of this portion of the Project Area will be improved through the elimination of a deteriorated parking lot and former rail yard. The area will be made more attractive, and the image and reputation of both the downtown and City improved. C. New development will be encouraged in the area as a result of this project - • combined with others within the Project Area.

ATTACHMENT 6 Amen. - 'Dnt One — June 6, 2000 PROGRAM/PROJECT 8. TRANSIT CENTER AND COMMERCIAL PROJECT In 1994 the Agency and City designated the First Avenue/St. Joseph and Front Street area as the site for a future mass transit center. The Agency then acquired and "land banked" the parcel at the southwest corner of First and St. Joseph. This and the City's Water-owned parcel were sold to the City's Transit fund in 1996 for purposes of a future RR/bus/auto transit center. The remaining vacant saw-tooth shaped parcel to the west of the City parcels is now for sale. A local developer proposes to construct a 19,500 sq. ft. two-story commercial office building on the 50,000 sq. ft±triangular parcel bounded by the MTA Tracks, East St. Joseph and North First Avenue. The Agency and City Council based on recent information from various responsible agencies now believe that budgetary, organizational, political and legal issues will continue to delay or prevent the "Blue Line" or other mass transit system extension to the cast in the foreseeable future. For that reason, the Agency intends to work with the development community to bring about a commercial project or the 50,000 sq. ft. ± triangular property. However, the-Agency still intends-to work for amass transit station on the MTA track area and the area to the west of the tracks along Front St., and possibly on St. Joseph. Agency Funds will be used for the commercial project. Both City Proposition A & C funds (Transit) and Agency funds can be used to implement a Mass Transit Center project. GOALS/OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED Mass Transit Center • The elimination and prevention of the physical and economic blighting conditions listed below, and the alleviation of problems caused by incompatible land uses, inadequately sized lots, and lot configuration. • Improved traffic flow and circulation. • More suitable utilization of properties which are currently vacant or unused, and of irregular shape or size. Commercial Project • More suitable utilization of properties which are currently vacant or unused, and of irregular shape or size. • Improvement of the Project Area's economic base, including tax increment and indirectly generated sales taxes from employees, customers; improved reputation and image. • Encourage revitalization of the City's and Project Area's underutilized and economically stagnant areas. ,J c Amen_ ,nt One — June 6, 2000 BLIGHT ADDRESSED (SECTION 3 ABOVE) BY PROGRAM/PROJECT The development of the Transit Center would eliminate the following blighting conditions: 3.1.4 Incompatible subdivision patterns 3.1.7 Railroad impacts on development 3.1.8 Lot size and configuration 3.1.9 Traffic and circulation patterns 3.1.10 Vacant and unused properties The development of the Commercial Project would eliminate the following blighted conditions: 3.1.4 Incompatible subdivision patterns 3.1.6 Fragmented ownership patterns 3.1.8 Lot size and configuration 3.1.9 Vacant and unused properties 3.2.1 Depreciated property values, especially if hazardous waste — PROJECT STATUS Mr. Richard Hale and Mr. Matt Waken have submitted plans to the Agency fora 19,500 sq. ft. two-story office building on the 50,000 sq. ft. ±triangular property. The Agency has directed staff to negotiate DDA. Engineering has prepared a concept plan and budget ($190,000) to improve Front and St. Joseph west of the MTA Tracks either independently or as part of a comprehensive Mass Transit project.

Agency Capital Improvement Program The Agency has ongoing annual capital improvement needs. Some of these are already discussed elsewhere in this Implementation Plan: Master List of Projects — Exhibit 2B; Infill Project (spot acquisitions), Opportunity projects (page 24), Public Facility Assistance (page 25); Underground District 14 Reconnections (page 34, 49); Front St./St. Joseph Roadway improvements (page 51). Periodically the infrastructure in the downtown project area requires complete reconstruction, new construction to remove existing substandard conditions, or major renovation to accommodate the Agency's success in attracting new business to the downtown, e.g., traffic signal and traffic striping improvements at all of the major downtown arterial intersections, new sidewalks on Colorado, revisions to the downtown landscaping medians, pedestrian lights under the railroad bridge, and similar projects. Annually, in conjunction with the City, the Agency will survey the public infrastructure needs of the downtown project area and, where appropriate, and after the public hearing report and findings required by Health and Safety Code Sections 33445 and 33673 are complete, implement its Capital Improvement Program. Activities could include similar projects as described above, as well as improvements to lighting, electrical, gas, water, sewer, storm, cable/fiber optic, roadway, landscaping, and other capital infrastructure systems. Goals/Objectives to be achieved: • The elimination of physical blighting conditions. • Maintain existing improvements in the Project Area; arrest and eliminate - further deterioration. Blight addressed (Section 3 above) by Program/Project. The implementation of an annual Agency Capital Improvement Program would eliminate the following blighting conditions; 3.3.1 Inadequate or substandard public improvements, facilities or utilities Project Status The Agency has been implementing some CIP projects for the past two years; this will continue this effort pursuant to a formal planned program. Estimated Expenditures Expenditures to Date Uncertain; based on annual survey of need, $25,000 Priority of other projects, availability of funds
