They are asking the Council to close South First Avenue from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. from the alley south of Huntington to California for purposes of the Lucky Baldwin Days Street Fair on May 31 (see Site Map, Attachment 1). The ABA will encourage downtown merchants to stay open and display their wares on May 31 and to have craft booths, food, music, and retail sales available in the enclosed area. The Police, Fire, Public Works Services and Development Services Departments have reviewed the petition and Conditions of Approval for Street Closure (see Attachment 3) for purposes of the ABA Lucky Baldwin Days Street Fair. Staff recommends approval of the closure of South First at the alley south of Huntington and the approval of the Conditions. Discussion The success of the Holidays Street Fair held in November, 1999, has prompted the ABA to propose another street fair with a theme based on Lucky Baldwin Days. The ABA has submitted a Petition signed by a majority of the businesses on South First, supporting the closure of the street on Wednesday, May 31, from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the purposes of a Holiday Shoppers' Fair (see Attachment 2). The actual "Fair" hours would be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The hour before and after would be for set up and take down. Please note that the ABA proposes to expand the area formerly used for the Saturday Farmers' Market by moving the northerly barricade from just south of Alta Street to south of the alley south of Huntington. Staff has prepared a proposed "Conditions of Approval for Street Closure" modeled on the requirements for the former Farmers' Market (Attachment 3). No city forces will be .ASE RAGED ABA Lucky Baldwin Day&,,,4reet Fair Ifto May 2, 2000 Page 2 used for the event although the Police will have an on -duty car patrol downtown and two Reserve Police Officers will patrol the area of the Fair. The Public Works Services Department will provide the barricades and signs to the ABA on a temporary basis. A representative of the ABA will be at the City Council meeting to present their request and respond to questions. Environmental Impact The Downtown 2000 Phase 2 Business Incentive Program, which included Special Events such as parades, concerts, and promotional activities was assessed as part of an Expanded Initial Study and a Negative Declaration was approved by the Agency on November 19, 1996. Fiscal Impact The ABA will pay the City $50 for use of electrical power and all other utilities or related charges resulting from the event, and $9.10 in Business License fees for all vendors and crafters. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council approve the ABA proposal to close South First Avenue between the alley south of Huntington and California on Wednesday, May 31, 1999, between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. for purposes of the ABA Lucky Baldwin Days Street Fair subject to execution of the attached "Conditions of Approval of Street Closure" by the ABA (Attachment 3).

The Part Time Classification Specifications Manual contains a total of 23 new and revised classification descriptions for the 150 positions constituting the City's part time and seasonal workforce. The information for the class specifications was provided by management and supervisory staff. Job analysis interviews were conducted with all available supervisors to ensure a thorough understanding of duties, responsibilities, and classification concerns. The Part Time Classification Specifications Manual has been adopted by the Human Resources Commission at its April meeting. As provided for in the City's Personnel Rules and Regulations, the Classification Manual is presented to City Council for adoption. The Final Report of the Part Time Classification and Compensation Study provides a project overview, classification summary, and labor market analysis which form the basis for the salary recommendations. The labor market utilized for part time classifications is based upon geographic proximity as the labor market for part time positions is local. The salary table provides for 5% step increases, with the same difference between ranges. Based on labor market data the salary table is presented for adoption. �t iL LASER IMAGED (�0 /v, io 1 fir► The position of Computer Operator is unique as it is the only part time position reviewed as part of the study of the City's full time positions completed about a year ago. Since staff is not anticipating making a recommendation for a full time Computer Operator in the near future, a part time position as indicated in this plan is suggested. All labor market information included in the basis for a salary recommendation from the full time study was simply converted to an hourly rate and is included at Range PT 21. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact in the approval of new and revised class descriptions. The implementation of the revised salary recommendations is to place staff at their current step of the newly established salary range. The cost City wide will be $49,000 in fiscal year 2000 -2001. The new salaries will be effective June 18, 2000. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council approve the adoption of the Part Time Classification Specifications Manual and Final Report of the Part Time Classification and Compensation Study.

The results of the labor market compensation analysis are used to anchor the City's part time compensation plan to the market place to ensure the ability of the City to recruit and retain qualified and quality part time employees. It is important to remember, however, that the results of the compensation analysis are but one piece of information used in setting salaries and establishing the City's compensation plan. BACKGROUND During our discussions with the City, the following compensation goals and objectives have been discussed: The City desires the ability to recruit and retain quality part time personnel The City desires not only to be externally competitive with the labor market but also to be internally equitable The City has an interest in, and realizes the importance of, developing a competitive part time compensation plan. Based upon the above compensation goals and objectives, the selection of a competitive labor market sample which can assist in attracting and retaining qualified and quality part time personnel becomes even more critical. In that it is difficult to find other agencies which share exactly the same characteristics as the City of Arcadia, the City must make some informed policy decisions based upon the various parameters identified below. CRITERIA UTILIZED IN SELECTING LABOR MARKET SURVEY AGENCIES The general objective in selecting survey agencies is to define as accurately as possible the City's "labor market." A labor market is that set of agencies with which the City competes in terms of recruiting and retaining qualified and quality personnel. The following agencies were selected based upon geographic proximity. Page 6 cm LABOR MARKET Alhambra Azusa Baldwin Park Covina Duarte El Monte Glendora Monrovia Montebello Monterey Park Pasadena Rosemead San Dimas San Gabriel San Marino Sierra Madre Temple City Walnut West Covina Whittier M The City of Rosemead did not have sufficient staff time to participate; no data is included. CRITERIA USED IN THE SELECTION OF SURVEY CLASSES In preparing for a compensation survey, it is necessary to identify not only an appropriate labor market, but likewise appropriate survey classes. Survey classifications are a representative sample of classes in an agency's classification plan and provide a reference point for the ultimate selection of benchmark classifications and subsequent salary determinations for all other classifications within the City. Survey classifications should be identified utilizing the following criteria: They should be reasonably well known, and clearly and concisely described. They should have a clear and identifiable relationship to other classes in their occu- parional group. This assures that they will make a good reference in relating and establishing salaries for other classes within their occupational group. Page 7 They should be common classes such that counterparts may be readily found in other employers so that sufficient salary data may be gathered. Based on this criteria, the survey classes were selected once the initial classification analysis and recommendations were completed. DATA COLLECTION PROCESS After the recommended labor market agencies were reviewed by the City, the project consultants collected and compiled salary data. To ensure reliability and completeness of the data collected, survey data was collected according to a structured methodology. Specific steps taken in conducting the survey included: An initial telephone call was made to each of the labor market employers to explain the scope of the study, confirm participation and request general background information including current salary schedules and organizational charts as available. Telephone interviews were conducted with each survey agency to verify, clarify and identify comparable survey classes to further ensure the accuracy of the survey data. Throughout the data collection process, careful efforts were made to document the full range of duties and requirements of all job classes as compared to the City of Arcadia corresponding survey classes. After the salary and related information was collected, verified and audited for accuracy, the salary data was compiled and analyzed to produce for each survey class the: • Labor market 60'' percentile • Percent the City of Arcadia is above or below the 60" percentile. A summary of the specific results of the compensation survey is presented in the following section. RESULTS OF THE SALARY SURVEY FOR BENCHMARK CLASSES Overall, the City of Arcadia has lost labor market competitiveness. The results of the labor market survey indicate that the City benchmark classifications are significantly below the labor market 60°i percentile. Page 8 M M Of the 15 survey classes, 8 classes were selected as benchmark classes based upon the reliability of the market data. Benchmark classes are those classes used in the actual salary setting process. The data for the remaining 7 classes was not utilized because insufficient data or unreliable data was identified for the survey classes. • summary of the results of the labor market survey for the benchmark classes is shown in Exhibit • on the following page. Presented therein is: . The class title of each survey class . The City of Arcadia current salary for each class . The labor market 60h percentile . The percentage relationship of the labor market 60" percentile to the City's classification. As indicated in Exhibit A and as summarized below, the survey results for the 8 benchmark classes indicate: . Ciry of Arcadia salaries are significantly non- competitive to the established labor market. Seven (7) of the survey classes are below the labor market 60' percentile. Of these 7 classes: One (1) is below by less than 5 % Two (2) are between 10% and 15% below One (1) is between 15% and 20% below Three (3) are between. 20% and 30% below One class is slightly above the 60' percentile.

Key components of this compensation plan include: An equitable and structured salary plan Consistent and equitable internal salary relationship differentials Salary ranges which are competitive with the labor market Compensation structures which are easily integrated with the City's part time system. The first step in building the recommended compensation plan included the selection of benchmark classifications. Benchmark jobs are those jobs that are tied directly to market salary data during the salary setting process. These jobs are used as a means of anchoring the City's overall compensation plan to the desired labor market position and are used as a reference point for establishing salary levels for all other classes within the City's personnel system. As indicated previously, the labor market position is defined as the labor market 60°i percentile of the survey data. Based upon a detailed analysis of the labor market data, which accounted for labor market relationships and the strength of the market data in terms of comparabilities identified, a total of 8 benchmarks were selected from the classes used in the labor market analysis. These classes are indicated in the salary recommendations by the word "benchmark". Building from the salary levels established for identified benchmark jobs, internal salary relationships were developed and used to set salaries for all other non - benchmark jobs. Where possible, current salary relationships were maintained, unless the results of the classification analysis or labor market data indicated a change was necessary. The internal relationships along with the labor market salary data have been utilized to construct a salary plan that is internally equitable while maintaining a competitive relationship with the external market place. The salary recommendations are presented in Appendix A and include the identification of: Page 11 *r+' '0/ Recommended class title Current class title Current maximum hourly salary for each class Speck labor market salary data used for benchmark classes A recommended salary range and maximum hourly salary Dollar and percentage change between current hourly maximum salary and the recommended salary maximum Rationale for the salary recommendation. The rationale for the salary recommendation identifies the reliance placed upon labor market data, internal salary relationship guidelines, and /or internal ties between other jobs in developing each specific recommendation. This information provides the City with the necessary tools in order to maintain the internal equity of the compensation plan over time. MISCELLANEOUS BSUIE If the City needs to have part time positions performing identical duties to full time classifications, it is recommended to use Step A of the full time position. Personnel Concepts recommends that those classifications which are essentially volunteer positions continue with their current stipend levels. These include the three classes of. Fire Auxiliary $50 per shift, Reserve Police Officer $300 per year Volunteer Services Coordinator $ISS per week The utilization of stipends, rather than an hourly rate of pay, is appropriate given the basic nature of these as volunteer positions. While some cities may compensate incumbents of these positions, there is a very limited labor market. Additionally, the use of a stipend is advised to avoid potential FLSA implications and the difficulties of monitoring hours of volunteers. Three positions — Clerical Assistant, Laborer, and Mechanic's Assistant —have compensation levels established below the A step of related positions in the full time classified service. This is to allow the City greater flexibility in staffing based on its needs while taking advantage of the availability of part time staff for ongoing low level, basic work to be performed. Page 12 *40e *410 The position of Locker Room Attendant is set to the prevailing minimum wage with a discretionary second step. This salary will need to be adjusted only when there is a change in the State or Federal minimum wage. Such a future increase would be discretionary to the extent that minors could be exempted from minimum wage requirements. In summary, the recommended part time compensation plan and the corresponding administration guidelines will effectively eliminate many of the City's current part time compensation inequities. Specifically, the recommended compensation plan addresses a variety of compensation issues including the use of consistent internal relationship differentials, the development of sound compensation structures, and an equitable linkage with 21" century labor market compensation trends.

AT A COST OF $105,910.72 AND APPROPRIATE AN ADDITIONAL $5,910.72 FROM THE VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND SUMMARY Staff is recommending that the City Council award a purchase contract for one (1) 2000 Freightliner FL70 aerial truck with chipper box in the amount of $105,910.72 to Altec Industries Inc. This unit will replace one (1) 1988 Chevrolet aerial lift truck (Asset #60017) and one (1) 1985 chipper dump truck (Asset #70051) currently being used by the Public Works Services Street Tree Section. Funds in the amount of $100,000.00 have been budgeted for this acquisition. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize an additional appropriation of $5,910.72 from the Equipment Replacement Fund to cover the cost of this purchase. DISCUSSION The 2000 Freightliner FL70 aerial truck with chipper box will replace two separate units, one (1) 1988 Chevrolet aerial truck (Asset #60017) and one (1) 1985 chipper dump truck (Asset #70051). The new vehicle will be used by the Public Works Services Street Trees Section to trim and remove City trees. Currently, City crews are using one aerial truck for tree trimming /removing and a separate unit for hauling and disposing of the material. The unique design of the new sixty -foot (60') aerial truck incorporates a hydraulic dump bed, allowing for the trimming and removal of trees to be completed in one operation. By combining both operations into a single unit, the replacement cost is $105,910.72 versus approximately $195,000 for purchasing two separate units. In addition, this unit is equipped with state of the art technology that will allow crews to be more productive while providing safer working conditions. C6 114 ©_. .

FOR THE DRILLING OF A REPLACEMENT WELL FOR THE ST. JOSEPH WELL NO. 1 AS PART OF THE PHASE ONE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ST. JOSEPH RESERVOIR PLANT AS COMPLETE AND AUTHORIZE THE FINAL PAYMENT TO BE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS SUBJECT TO A RETENTION OF $20,548.80. SUMMARY On July 20, 1999, the City Council awarded a contract to Beylik Drilling Company, Inc. for the drilling of a replacement well for the St. Joseph Well No. 1 as part of the phase one reconstruction of the St. Joseph Reservoir Plant. The terms and conditions of this project have been complied with and the work has been performed to staffs satisfaction. Staff is recommending that the City Council accept the project as complete and authorize the final payment in accordance with the approved contract documents, subject to a retention of$20,548.80. DISCUSSION A major recommendation of the 1996 Water Master Plan was to increase water reservoir capacity, install additional wells and upgrade the site facilities at the St. Joseph Reservoir Plant, allowing the City to meet the growing demands of the community and provide adequate fire protection throughout the City. The first phase of this major renovation is the drilling of a replacement well followed by the equipping of the well, construction of a new booster pumping station and then the construction of a new 5.5 million-gallon reservoir. Subsequently, Council authorized the execution of a contract with Beylik Drilling Company on July 20, 1999 to drill a replacement well for the St. Joseph Well .No. 1 as phase one of the St. Joseph Reservoir Water Plant facility improvements. LASER IMAGED Co A/_ /o �-•� , Mayor and City Council May 2, 2000 Page 2 A key element of the Water Master Plan is the reconstruction of the St. Joseph Water Plant, which is the central component of the City's water system. The St. Joseph Water Plant's primary function is water storage for fire-suppression and domestic consumption for pressure Zone 4, located directly below this facility (see attached map). The St. Joseph Water Plant facility's significance to the water system requires that it remains operational throughout the duration of the improvement project. This necessitates that the construction be completed in incremental phases, with each new project element being installed and operational prior to the demolition and removal of the existing element . This phase of this project consisted of initial drilling of a pilot hole to test for water quality and availability, resulting in the ultimate drilling of a complete well. The second phase, anticipated to begin in the Fall of 2000, is the construction of a higher capacity booster pump station, site piping and installation of well pumping equipment. The final phase of this project will conclude with the demolition of the old water well, booster pump station, and reservoir No. 1 and the construction of a new reservoir and other site improvements to the property. The terms of this project have been complied with and the required work has been completed to staffs satisfaction. Staff is recommending that City Council accept the project as complete and authorize the final payment in accordance with the contract documents, subject to retention of$20,548.80. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This project is categorically exempt per Section 15302 (c) replacement from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (copy of Exemption attached). FISCAL IMPACT Water Funds were budgeted in the 1999/2000 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the phase one reconstruction of the St. Joseph Reservoir Plant in an amount sufficient to cover the contract cost. The final contract cost of this project is $216,963, resulting in contract savings of$10,037 to the City from the original bid amount. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Accept the work performed by Beylik Drilling Company, Inc. as complete. 2. Authorize the final payment to be made in accordance with the contract documents, subject to retention of$20,548.80.

SUMMARY , . ...S . At its April 4 meeting the City Council received testimony from Frank DeMarco representing the Los Angeles Turf Club .(LATC) requesting that the introductiOn of Ordinance 2.119 be continued to the City Council's May 2 meeting' and that the public "hearing for Text Amendment 2000-001 pertaining to this issue be reopened. Ordinance 2119, as proposed, allows horseracing and,other events to be telecast via satellite feed seven (7) days a week until no later than 1:30 a.m. The City Council continued its consideration of Ordinance 119 and directed staff to notice this item for public hearing at its May 2, 2000 meeting. Public hearing notices were mailed to all property owners within a 1,000"-radiuS of the race track (992 property owners): , •• :, • _. ., Attached is City Council Ordinance 2119 drafted per the direction of the city COuncil at - its. March 7 meeting. •• BACKGROUND AND. DISCUSSION , : , In December 1999 the Los Angeles Turf Club '(LATC) filed Te)'d ArriendMent 2000-001 requesting the following 'change S and additions to •the S-1 (Special Use) ,Zonirig regulations: • City Council — Ordinance 2119 5/2/2000 . i , LASER 1M/TE1 S. v--f . • ii•?/-/- ,--se:. , 1. Amendment of Section 9273.1.10.1 to allow horseracing and other events to be telecast via satellite feed seven (7) days a week'until n0 later than 1:30 a.m. 2. Addition of a new section to allow for year-around usage of the restaurant located in the grandstand for non-horseracing activities and to use the big screen monitor in the infield for code permitted uses at the track'. The S-1 zone currently permits horse racing via satellite feed on Friday and Saturday nights only until no later than 1:3.0 a.m. The LATC is requesting that this section be amended to allow horseracing and other events via,satellite feed seven (7) days a week until'ho later than 1:30 a.m. LATC indicated that the following'might be some of the other events that they may wish to utilize the big screen and satellite telecasting for: • Monday night football` The bowl games; i.e., Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Super Bowl International Soccer Formula 1 Racing • Major sports events including,boxing, golfing, tennis, etc. News events that are televised all over the world Currently, satellite wagering takes place on Friday nights from Hong Kong. The general attendance ranges from 200 to 500 patrons. Telecasts terminate at 1:30 a.m. The City Council bifurcated the requests of year-around usage of the restaurant and allowing horseracing and other events to be.telecast via satellite feed. The Council on April 4, adopted Ordinance 2118 permitting the year-around usage of the restaurant. Allowing Satellite Feed:Seven (7) days a week until 1:30 a.m. In regards to the request to extend the hours and days of telecasting horse racing and other events via satellite feed, it was the Development Services Department's'opinion that the extension of the days and hours for nighttime satellite telecasting would not have an adverse(impact on any of the adjoining properties as long as the broadcasting was done within the building(s). Staff did not have concern with patrons''utilizng'the outdoor areas. The Development Services Department recommended approval .of the applicant's request for satellite telecasting seven days a week until no later than' 1:30 a.m.'and the use of the big:screen monitor: subject to the condition that there be no outdoor sound amplification or use of outdoor speakers. City Council — Ordinance 2119 5/2/2000 ..:.f Page 2 • Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission in its consideration did not have problems with the use of'the big screen monitor as long as there was no outside amplification of noise. The Commission did have the following concerns regarding the extension of hours for nighttime activity at the racetrack as it related to satellite wagering, sports and other special events: i • patrons not parking at .the. racetrack and utilizing the streets in the neighborhoods north of the racetrack to park;. • patrons exiting. at Gate 5 and traveling'northbound through the "Garden" area as a shortcut to the freeway; • increased traffic during the evening hours • concerned with neighborhood safety It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that allowing the extended hours' by right did not provide the City with the ability-to monitor the potential impact these activities might have on the neighborhood. The Commission thought that the Conditional Use Permit process was the best method in addressing future requests by the LATC to expand their hours of operation for satellite wagering. The CUP process would allow the Planning Commission and/or the City Council an opportunity to review a specific request and to include appropriate conditions of approval on an activity. The CUP process provides the City with a means of monitoring a project in accordance with the conditions of approval to help mitigate any impacts on adjoining properties. ' 1 The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of text amendment 2000- 01 as follows: • . "Use of the big screen monitor in the infield shall be allowed for all S-1 code permitted uses. There shall be no outdoor sound amplification or use of outdoor loudspeakers in conjunction with the use of the big screen monitor other than during live horse racing." 1 The Planning Commission further recommended that no changes be made to Section 9273.10.1 and that a new section be added to the S-1 regulations that would allow the following subject to an approved Conditional Use Permit: "Horse racing with or without pari-mutuel wagering on the results thereof, sporting events and special events of a national and/or international scale! or City Council — Ordinance 2119 5/2/2000 • Page 3 significance, via satellite feed, other than those permitted per Section 9273.10.1." City Council Consideration On March 7, 2000, at a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council received public comments concerning proposed amendments .td certain S-1 zoning regulations (T.A. 2000-01). After considering all public testimony, it was the consensus of the Council that rather than the Conditional..Use Permit process (recommended by the Planning Commission), performance standards should be established in the code that would address the neighbors concerns regarding nighttime noise, amplified sound and use of the outdoor grandstand area during the evening hours. The City Council directed staff to prepare the appropriate ordinance setting forth specific performance standards. The Council approved the text amendment with these changes by a 4-0-1 vote. Ordinance 2119 was submitted to the City Council on April 4: The Ordinance was drafted based on the City Council's directive at the March 7 meeting. This ordinance allows for the expansion of hours and days for the satellite feed, as well as types of activities that may be telecast, and extends the use of the big screen monitor to events other than horseracing activities. The ordinance also establishes very specific performance standards as set forth below: a) No persons, other than employees of the racetrack, shall be allowed in the unenclosed areas of the grandstand and racetrack between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. b) There shall be no outdoors sound amplification or use of outdoor loudspeakers between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. c) Windows in the enclosed restaurant located within the grandstand structure shall be closed between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. d) During the non-racing season, the northerly parking lot shall not be utilized for patron parking On March 24, the City received the attached letter from Lonny Powell, President and CEO of the racetrack, expressing concern regarding the performance standards. The attached letter includes goals and descriptions of proposed uses at the race track. LATC was concerned with the performance standards and"requested greater flexibility regarding the use of certain outdoor spaces in the evening. While they are sensitive to the issue of noise in the outdoor area Of the grandstand and are agreeable to prohibiting sound transmission from the track's regular public address and race calling City Council — Ordinance 2119 5/2/2000 Page 4 F system during the evening hours, they wanted to utilize the small individual television units located at the tables in the Turf Club and box seat areas. At the Council's April 4 meeting Frank DeMarco, representing the Los Angeles Turf Club, noted that there had been some miscommunication as to the exact nature of their request and they wanted an opportunity to meet with area residents and other interested parties to explain what the track is tfying to do. Specifically, Santa Anita originally did not indicate they wanted to use the outdoor boxes.and Turf Club television units. Therefore, those residents in attendance on March 7 and who watched the item on cable television would be unaware of this change. In addition, the LATC wanted additional time to conduct some audio tests to determine the noise levels 'emanating from the race track. In order to have adequate time to do this, LATC requested that consideration of the ordinance be continued to May 2. Attached is a report submitted by Frank De Marco, Jr. providing further information regarding LATC's request to utilize the box seats and Turf Club areas along with the small screen TV's located at each table during the evening hours. The report includes LATC's letter to the City Council dated March 24, the noise study prepared by Giroux & Associates and a letter sent to the residents within the area. The City Council reopened the public hearing and continued its consideration of Ordinance 2119 to the May 2 meeting. Additionally new notices were mailed to 992 property owners within a 1,000 foot radius of the race track. - i CITY COUNCIL ACTION Attached is City Council Ordinance 2119 drafted per the direction of the City Council at its March 7 meeting: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 9273.1.10.1 AND ADDING SECTIONS 9273.1.18 AND 9273.2.10 TO THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PERMITTED USES IN THE S-1 ZONE AND ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR CERTAIN NIGHTTIME ACTIVITIES. - f City Council — Ordinance 2119 5/2/2000 Page 5 The City Council should open the public hearing and receive testimony and move to introduce Ordinance 2119 as attached or as modified by the Council.

DONNA L. BUTLER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATOR Date Mailed: April 14, 2000 BEFORE THE ARCADIA CITY APR v3L l�s.Yd' In the Matter of the Application of • • LOS ANGELES TURF CLUB, INCORPORATED,, dba, SANTA ANITA PARK ,, Los Angeles Turf Club, Incorporated, dba "Santa Anita Park ('Santa Anita") hereby submits the following facts in support of its application for text amendment TA 2.000-001 requesting an amendment to Section 9273.1.10.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code as more particularly set forth in the proposed ordinance submitted concurrently herewith by Arcadia City staff. The letter of Lonny T. Powell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Santa Anita dated March 24, 2000, outlining the substance of the within proposal, is attached hereto and incorporated herein as though fully set forth. At the council meeting on April 4, 2000, Santa Anita advised the council that it requested a continuance of the proposal to amend the applicable ordinances in view of questions raised by members of the public and members of the counsel respecting the interpretation of the proposed amended ordinance. Santa Anita also advised that it would undertake an information exchange with the neighbors to learn of their concerns about the Santa Anita operation and to take steps to address those concerns and to remedy them where at all possible. In view of the fact that there was a concern that certain of the. neighbors may not have been properly informed of the text of the proposed amendment, Santa.Anita requested that the matter be noticed again to all residence within the requested radius of Santa Anita and offered to pay, and did pay, the cost of such additional mailing. . 0 In connection with Santa Anita's expressed. desire to communicate more closely with the homeowners in the area, Santa Anita's representatives have met with the President and other representatives of the following Homeowners' Associations: , Highland Homeowners' Association Santa Anita Oaks Association j Rancho Santa Anita Residents' Association Santa Anita Village Association. • 1 The concerns expressed by the representatives of the Homeowner's Associations and other concerns previously expressed to the council have in good faith been-addressed by Santa Anita. Please refer to the letter of April 26, 2000, from our Director of Community Relations, attached hereto and the following: • PERIMETER PARKING: Some neighbors have complained that alleged patrons of Santa Anita are parking on the,city streets immediately adjacent to Santa Anita. Santa Anita has earmarked 300 parking spaces on the Santa Anita grounds as "free parking" areas for use of people who, as claimed by the residents, seek free parking on city streets rather than paying the Santa Anita parking fee. By providing this free parking area, at the extreme perimeters of the parking lots, we expect the economy minded patrons to take advantage of this and not park on city streets. We have taken steps to, and will continue, to "plug" any openings from the streets to Santa Anita currently utilized by pedestrians so that all flow will go through the normal entrances and exists. This should further discourage parking on city streets. We have addressed the homeowner's concern and representations about street parking, although we do not have any direct evidence that our patrons do use the city streets, in view of the one hour posted parking signs on most adjacent streets. It is suggested that if this parking problem continues, the neighbors should call the police and request the offending vehicles be towed. NOISE CONCERNS: In view of complaints about daytime noises emanating from Santa Anita, we have done the following in response to neighbor's complaints: Santa Anita will not have outdoor "rock" concerts, day or night. Santa Anita has commissioned and has received the report of Giroux and Associates, Environmental Consultants, respecting noise issues at Santa Anita. A copy of the report is attached hereto. As evidenced in the Giroux and Associates report, Santa Anita's daytime activities do not exceed acceptable standards and do not violate current code provisions respecting sound. The report concludes, logically, that since the daytime activities do not violate current sound ordinances, the minimal activity which Santa Anita proposes to provide during the evening hours, would"likewise be substantially lower than currently acceptable limits. 2 • ALLEGED DEBRIS Some neighbors have complained that debris in...the form of beer bottles and cans and liquor bottles are found on their respective premises adjacent to Santa Anita. While Santa Anita does not sell beverages in cans or other containers, and while there is no direct evidence that the persons depositing such debris are patrons of or associated with Santa Anita, Santa Anita will in response to any telephone complaint by any neighbor that such debris has • been deposited on the neighbor's property, send members of our clean-up staff to remove such debris. PROPOSED EVENING ACTIVITIES: As outlined in Mr. Powell's letter of March 24, 2000, the adoption of this ordinance would permit Santa Anita to offer its nighttime patron's use of the box seats and Turf Club areas rather than being confined wholly to the interior of the premises. In the event each of the box seats in those areas was utilized in the evening hours, the maximum crowd expectancy in that area would be approximately 3,200 persons. Historically, the evening off-track betting crowd does not exceed 500 persons. During evening hours, the Santa Anita public address system would not be utilized in any manner. During the evening hours, as during the daytime hours, no sound whatsoever will emanate from the large screen in the infield. The persons sitting in the box seat area as aforesaid would be allowed to watch and listen to the sound on the small 9"individual television sets located at each table. The sound emanating from these small t.v. screens is barely audible beyond one foot from each individual table. • As indicated in Mr. Powell's letter of April 4, 2000, although there are no present plans to do so, Santa Anita should be able to offer its patrons large screen viewing of special events such as Super Bowl, bowl games and related public interest events in the evening hours. Again with respect to these events, no sound would emanate from the large screen whatsoever. Santa Anita respectfully requests that the proposed amendment to Section 9273.1.10.1 of the Arcadia Municipal Code be approved by the council as it permits Santa Anita to exercise its property rights in such fashion as is permitted other businesses in the city and in accordance with Code limitations 3 • and regulations presently in force. It is submitted that this does not constitute an unreasonable interference with the orderly and peaceful enjoyment by the owners of adjacent properties of their respective properties.

CITY MANAGER Lonny T.Powell March 24, 2000 President and Chief Executive Officer o Mayor and City Council City of Arcadia • • 240 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, California 91007 - Dear Mayor and City Council Members: RE: TEXT AMENDMENT TA 2000-001 Upon reflection of the proceedings of the March 14 Public Hearing, we thought it might be helpful to City Council to restate our goals as they relate to the above- referenced text amendment. Our goals may be defined as follows: • To utilize the enclosed restaurant facilities located within the grandstand. for non-horse racing activities o To allow horse racing and other events to be telecast via satellite feed -- seven (7) days a week until no later than 1:30 a.m. o To allow use of the big screen monitor, located in the infield, for code permitted uses at the track It is not possible to list every conceivable event that could be telecast. However, being a sports venue facility, we would consider the following to be representative of the events we would consider: • Monday night football • Bowl games, i.e., Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Super Bowl • International soccer • Formula 1 racing • Major sports events, including boxing, golfing, tennis, etc. • News events that are televised all over the world It is, and always has been`, bur desire to be good corporate neighbors. Accordingly, we understand that we are bound by the same ordinances that govern the rest of the community. Likewise, we expect to be permitted to operate our business within the established guidelines and ordinances and given the same consideration as our fellow businessmen. Therefore, it seems Los Angeles Turf Club, Incorporated 285 W. Huntington Drive, P.O. Box 60014,Arcadia, CA 91066-6014 (626) 574-7223 Fax (626) 821-1514 i Mayor and City Council Page Two March 24, 2000 reasonable that we should not be required to rtrict patronage to only the interior of our facility during evening event hours'. However, since"outdoor sound" during evening hours has become a concern of our neighbors, we agree that there shall be no signal transmissi n of sound to the outdoors for code permitted uses during evening hours they than from the srpalL_in.d,ividual TV units located at the tables in the-Ty Curb--and-'box seats area (which are barely audible at a distance-of only one or two feet). In addition we would agree specifically that no sound transmission from the track's regular public address and race calling system will be permitted during evening hours. We appreciate this opportunity to restate our goals and should you have any questions regarding the above, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, l Lonny T.

No. P.00-052 Dear Pete: As per your request, we conducted a noise analysis . of existing] • racing activity noise levels as •a prototype for evaluating -the) noise implications of the proposed Turf Club evening use. If we could demonstrate that existing operations with noisier activities) and greater attendance, at locations closer and less protected thani the nearest noise-sensitive uses have no adverse noisel consequences, then the proposed use would similarly have ana insignificant impact. For purposes of analysis, it was assumed that compliance with the City of Arcadia noise ordinance standards would be evidence that if existing racing operations do not exceed standards, then the proposed evening use of the facilities with much smaller audience] levels would similarly not be a concern. The City standard for residential noise exposure is 55 dBA from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. , and 50 dBA from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Some excursions above these levels area allowed. The larger the excursion, the less time is allowed above this baseline. For the sake of a conservative analysis, wed disregarded the allowable deviations and only analyzed the 55 day/ 50 night standard. We conducted noise measurements at four (4) locations shown on the attached sketch, These locations were representative of the following nearby communities: j • • 17744 Sky Park Circles, Suite 210, Irvine, California 92614 - Phone(949) 851-8609 - Fax(949) 851.-8612 04/24/2000 11:37 9498518612 G PAGE , 04 -4- Our measurements suggest the following as they relate to the proposed Turf Club use: / /P 1. Such use will be completely masked by non-activity traffic noise near Colorado or Baldwin Avenues. 2. Such use will be well within. City of Arcadia noise standards at the "College" homes (Rancho Santa Anita) if the function terminates by 10 p.m. Please call me with any questions regarding our findings. Sincerely, Hans D.

Colorado Site 4 - Santa Anita Village Association - back of homes at Public Works parking lot across from Gate 8. - i Measurements were made from Friday, April 21, through Sunday, April 23 , 2000. The data were analyzed. to compare the noise levels before any substantial number of people were gathered versus noise levels during grandstand occupancy. The baseline was subtracted'' out from the total noise signature to isolate the "spectator plus! racing activity" noise only. Any noise levels resulting from 3,200 patrons using the Turf Club' facilities would be substantially less than the measured existing' activity because: (1) The ratio of 3,200 patrons to total attendance on Friday', Saturday or Sunday would predict levels of 3-6 dB lower, (2) Measurements were made at the parking lot fenceline (sites 1-I 3) , and not at homes farther away, (3) The "college" homes have an intervening berm, and (4) Racing includes trumpets, loudspeakers and other noise generators not associated with proposed evening Turf Club activities. The results of the measurements are shown in Exhibit 1. ; Conclusions from the monitoring are as follows: • 1 . Along Colorado or Baldwin, pre-race traffic (racetrack, shopping and others) is louder than any activity during the race. There was no measurable noise signature from racetrack'' activities during these three days. 2. Along the "College" homes, the racetrack noise ranged from 50- 57 dBA. One location exceeded 55 dBA on one day. If this measurement is adjusted for lower attendance, greater distance, no amplified public address and the intervening berms, the closest residence would be well within the allowed level: April 26, 2000 Dear Arcadia Resident: On May 2,the city council will consider an amendment to the Arcadia Municipal Code, allowing Santa Anita Park to offer its night-time patrons the use of its outside box seats and Turf Club tables far certain non-racing events. Such use would be offered in conjunction with the large screen in the infield for showing such events as the Super Bowl,bowl games and related public interest events. A maximum of 3,200 patrons would be involved in any such activity and with our average crowds of 500 during night-time intertrack wagering, we would anticipate much a number much lower than that. Those patrons sitting in box seats,or at Turf Club tables would view the large screen(which does not emanate any sound) and listen to the sound of small 9-inch television sets located in each box or at each table (the sound coming from these TVs is barely audible beyond one foot from each individual table or box). In the past two months, Santa Anita Park has worked hard to seek input from its ' neighbors and the city staff about the ramifications, if any, of such an amendment. We also have met with the President and other representatives of the following homeowners' associations: • Highland Homeowners' Association • Santa Anita Oaks Association • Rancho Santa Anita Property Owners' Association • Santa Anita Village Association A productive information exchange with representatives of our resident groups has helped us to take positive steps to address various concerns and to remedy them where possible: Perimeter Parking Some neighbors have complained that our patrons are parking on the city streets immediately adjacent to Santa Anita. • We have earmarked 300 parking spaces on Santa Anita's grounds as free parking. This will allow our economy-minded patrons to take advantage of this offer and not park on city streets. • • o We have `plugged" any openings from the streets to Santa Anita that have been utilized by pedestrians so that all patrons will gosthrough normal entrances and exits. This should further discourage parking on city sheets. Racetrack Noise Certain neighbors are concerned about the noise level which would emanate from Santa Anita during evening events and after the events from cleaning equipment. • Santa Anita will not have outdoor rock concerts—day or night. In fact, a series of concerts sponsored by radio station KROQ during the past racing meet was cancelled in response to neighbor complaints about noise. • Santa Anita has commissioned an independent environmental consulting company, Giroux and Associates, to monitor noise levels from Santa Anita when we are open. This report concludes that Santa Anita Park's daytime activities do not exceed acceptable standards and do not violate current code provisions respecting sound. The same report concludes that since the daytime activities do not violate current sound ordinances, the minimal activity which Santa Anita proposes to provide during the evening hours, would likewise be substantially lower than currently acceptable limits. • There are procedures in place.with the City of Arcadia for any complaints about noise during infield activities to be reported to the Security department at Santa Anita. Santa Anita is similarly committed to making immediate adjustments to the sound levels at night to satisfy its neighbors if any complaints are received. o Because the racetrack likely will be open for business the day following a night-time event, there will be no change to the cleaning schedule for the grandstand and parking lots, which runs, depending on the area,from 6:00P to 10:00A. We have received minimal complaints from neighbors in the ten years we have adhered to our current procedures and cleaning schedule. The Colorado (north)parking lot will be closed during any night-time events. All cars arriving for night-time events will be parked in the South lot adjacent to the grandstand, which will mitigate the noise from any sweepers or blowers cleaning the area once the cars have left. Should there be a larger number of cars for any event, it is our practice to start cleaning the perimeter of the applicable lot, then moving towards the grandstand. Debris Some neighbors have complained that debris in the form of beer bottles and cans and liquor bottles have been found on their respective premises adjacent to Santa Anita. • While Santa Anita Park does not sell beverages in cans or other containers, it wants to help in any way it can. As such, our clean-up staff will be called to remove any such debris from a neighbor's property when called._. In the course of running its business, Santa Anita Park is asking the city of Arcadia to let it exercise its property rights in such fashion as is permitted other businesses in the city and in accordance with code limitations and regulations presently in force. At the same time,we realize the importance of maintaining the trust and goodwill of the residents of Arcadia and in being a good neighbor. With respect to the matter at hand, we believe that we have done our"due diligence" in the community and we feel strongly that our neighbors can trust Santa Anita Park"to do the right thing." We would ask that you contact your homeowners' association president or myself(my direct line is 626-574-6373) if you have questions about this letter or you would like more information. As we go forward, it is our goal to keep all of our neighbors fully informed of our activities and intentions, and we would ask the same from you. Thank you for your support.

WEED On February 15, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6162 initiating the annual ABATEMENT weed abatement program and declaring the City's intention to provide for the abatement PROGRAM of noxious weeds, rubbish and refuse from various private properties within the ;City. (1999-2000) Resolution No. 6162 also set March 7, 2000, as the time and place to hear objections to (APPROVED) the proposed removal of such flammable arid otherwise noxious material. As required by the Government Code, the County agricultural Commissioner mailed the appropriate notice to all affected property owners advising them of the City's intention to provide for abatement of their properties. The property owners were further advised of the public hearing this date. Mayor Chandler OPENED the public hearing. • No one came forward to speak in favor or against the weed abatement program and it was MOVED by Councilmember Kovacic, seconded by Mayor Pro tern Harbicht and CARRIED to CLOSE the public hearing.• • It was then MOVED by Mayor Pro tern Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Kovacic and CARRIED •on a roll call vote as follows to DIRECT the County AgricU ltural . Commissioner to abate the nuisance by having the weeds, rubbish and refuse removed • from those properties setforth in the 1999-2000 weed abatement list. AYES: Councilmembers Harbicht, Kovacic, Marshall, Roncelli and Chandler NOES: None ABSENT: None 4b. TA 2000-001 Consideration of Text Amendment 2000-001 filed by the Los Angeles Turf Club (LATC) (S-1 Zone Chgs. requesting the following changes and additions to the S-1 (Special Use) zoning Extend Days/ regulations at Santa Anita Race Track: Hours for Horse Racing via 1. Amendment of Section 9273.1.10.1 to allow horse racing and other events to be .Satellite Feed; telecast via satellite feed seven (7) days a week no later than 1:30 a.m. Restaurant & Big Screen 2. Amendment to allow for year-around usage of the restaurant located in the Monitor Use grandstand for non-horse racing activities and to use the big screen monitor ini the Year-around) infield for code permitted uses at the track. • (APPROVED) The Planning Commission at its January 25, 2000 meeting recommended approval of the usage of the restaurant and the big screen monitor, and further recommended that;the • extension of days and hours for horse racing and other events via satellite feed be allowed only with an approved conditional use permit. Currently the City Code allows horse racing via satellite feed on Friday and Saturday nights only until no later than 1:30 a.m. Satellite wagering takes place on Friday nights from Hong Kong. The general attendance ranges from 200 to 500 patrons. Telecasts terminate at 1:30 a.m. Other nighttime satellite wagering is Hollywood Park's twilight racing. from May through July. Staff stated that generally twilight racing is over at 8:00 p.m. and attendance ranges from 500 to 4,000 patrons. • LATC has indicated that the following may be some of the other events for which they may wish to utilize the big screen and satellite telecasting: Monday night football; bowl games such as the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl and International Soccer; Formula 1 Racing; 2 3/7/00 42:0041 • major sports events including boxing, golfing, tennis, etcetera; and news events that are televised all over the world. According to the applicant only portions of Santa Anita's grandstand are open to the public for nighttime. satellite feeds, and .all broadcasting for satellite horse:' racing is transmitted inside the building only, where the monitors are located. The outdoor loudspeakers are not used. . Staff noted that the current code allows usage of both the restaurant and the big screen monitor for horse racing activities and for non-profit type of activities and events. LATC is requesting that operation of the restaurant and use of the infield big screen monitor be allowed throughout the year and not restricted to activities related to horse racing or non- profit events. As noted, all current broadcasting for satellite telecasting is within. the buildings... no sound is amplified from the big screen in the infield. In reference to parking issues, it was noted that there would not be a charge for parking... this would encourage all patrons attending nighttime activities at the race track to park in the parking lot rather than nearby neighborhoods. It was staff's opinion that the extension of days and hours for nighttime satellite telecasting would not have an adverse impact on any of the adjoining properties as long • as the broadcasting is done within the buildings, and the restaurant windows remain . . ' closed to avoid sound transmission outside the structure. Further based on current and projected nighttime 'usage of the facility, the amount of traffic generated by nighttime • satellite telecasting will be negligible and staff does not foresee any problems with allowing year-around operation of the restaurant above the grandstand area for non-horse racing activities. Adding a section to the Code permitting year around usage of the restaurant would allow the race track to operate the restaurant similar to other restaurants within the City and allow "for-profit" organizations to use the restaurant for special functions. The amount of traffic and noise generated by the restaurant would be insignificant in comparison to the overall activity of the race track Although the Planning Commission did not have problems with the expanded use of the restaurant or the big screen monitor, as long as there was no outside amplification of noise, the March 7, 2000 staff report noted considerable concern expressed by the Commission with respect to parking problems and traffic through adjacent neighborhoods which would accompany the extended hours of nighttime activity at the track. It was the consensus of the Commission that allowing extended hours by right did not provide the City with the ability to monitor the potential impact these activities might have on the neighborhood. The Commission felt that the conditional use permit process was the best method in addressing future requests by LATC to expand its hours of operation for satellite wagering and other .events. The CUP process would allow the Commission and/or the City Council an opportunity to review a specific request and to include appropriate conditions of approval on an activity, and help to mitigate any impacts on adjoining properties. City staff'presented certain alternatives to the conditional use permit process for Council's consideration in the event Council did not wish to implement this process, which would typically take about two months to process such an application. Staff reported also that periodically the City receives requests for special events/activities, such as the Pasadena Showcase House and the City has no specific procedure whereby to process such requests. The Development Services Department staff recommended that the City Council direct staff to analyze alternative methods to 3 3/7/00 • 42:0042 • allow sporting and special events at the race track and other locations throughout the City. Such a process could be similar to the "Outdoor Entertainment Permit" process which was established in 1994. for the race track and repealed in 1995. Establishing'a procedure, other than the conditional use permit process, would allow the City an opportunity to impose any special conditions that might be necessary as a result of an anticipated increase in traffic, noise, or other,impacts to conducive special events. In conclusion, staff noted that several letters•were included in the March 7th staff report, which were received from area residents, primarily in opposition to the extension of the days and hours requested for nighttime satellite feed. The letters expressed concerns about noise, traffic and potential crime. In the discussion following the staff report, it was noted that there would be no wagering on other sporting events telecast over satellite feed. Staff commented that their position, as an alternate to the conditional use permit process, would be to handle each proposed event on a case-by-case basis during the entertainment permit process. Mayor Chandler OPENED the public hearing. 1 Steven Reed, 458 Cambridge Drive, stated in part, that he is opposed to the requested changes in the S-1 Zoning regulations at the race track. He noted that there appearsto be no conditions to the proposed extension of days and hours for horse racing and other events to be telecast by satellite feed. When events are conducted at night in the infield the noise can be heard inside his home even when the windows and doors are closed. Mr. Reed suggested that Council consider the effect outdoor events will have on the neighbors.' If the requested changes are made he believes statutory language should be included in the ordinance that there be no broadcasting outdoors at night; the requirement that the restaurant windows be closed at a specific hour; and crowd cheering outside after a specific hour be disallowed. Mr. Reed further stated that he is in favor of a Conditional Use Permit process which would contain conditions unique to each event. Dr. John Di. Giulio, owner of an apartment house located at 200 Santa Rosa stated, in part, that he is opposed to the proposed extension of days and hours at the track because of the noise, traffic and an undesirable element that would be attracted to the community. The residents should not have to bear these problems up to 1:30 a.m., seven days a week. Dr. Giulio noted that, in all the years he has owned this apartment building on Santa Rosa (20 years), race track personnel has never offered to clean up all the liquor bottles and trash that people leave in this area when exiting the track. Patrons of the track park up and down the streets in the Gardens Area on race days so that they do not have to pay the parking fee at the track. Bob Kimball, 140 Santa Cruz, commented that after a regular race day; the leaf blowers at the track are operating for three to four hours at a time. The proposed 1:30 a.m. hour' for the additional events would postpone the cleanup to the early morning hours, He is also concerned that track patrons will park in front of his home till 1:30 a.m. He wondered how the crowds would be contained inside the building as suggested. Mr. Kimball believes the CUP process will help tighten up the conditions of approval. • Tom Austin, 285 West Huntington Drive, representing the race track, stated in part, that the track currently races about 110 days a year. In addition, the Oak Tree meet runs•for • 30 days. The track is in a similar cost mode from the end of April through late September when other tracks are running. All of the simulcasts take-place within the facility. Referencing Mr. Reed's comments, the track does not anticipate having major sports events outside at night. They would broadcast these events inside the building.. As to people cheering an outside event on the big screen, if that became an issue, there are ordinance's in place for noise control, however, the intent is to keep the noise inside the 4 3/7/00 _ 42:0043 Frontrunner Restaurant for all simulcast activities. Moreover there would not be sound emanating from the individual monitors in the box seat area either. Mr. Austin noted also that the track goes beyond its property to cleanup debris in the area during live horse racing meets. In response to a Council question, Mr. Austin said that patrons attending such special events would be accommodated within closird,areas of the grandstand with the exception of certain events such as the current festivels;which have been scheduled at Santa Anita for many years. In reference to the proposed Conditional Use Permit process, Mr. Austin noted, this process normally takes two •months to put in place for an event, which is very cumbersome. He noted that satellite feed events are negotiated with respect to signals from around the world... those negotiations need to be done many months in advance of the actual event.' It is possible that a contract.could be worked out, and no CUP approved. It is his belief that the Outdoor Entertainment Permit process, which was put in place for the Olympics, would be reasonable for the track and such other venues in the City. Santa Anita personnel would be pleased to work with staff to develop the Outdoor Entertainment Permit process. In response to Council, Mr. Austin said, currently the average attendance for the satellite feed telecast on Friday and Saturday-nights -is in the range of 500 to 4,000, which is maximum. He noted that Monday night sporting events at other restaurants are growing in attendance. They are looking forward to the Frontrunner Restaurant being a year around operation with various types of sporting events simulcasts offered to their patrons, such as other restaurants currently offer. • Seeing that no one else wished to address the City Council, it was MOVED by Mayor Pro tern Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Kovacic, and CARRIED to CLOSE the public hearing. In response to Council's questions, staff advised that if there was satellite feed sporting events in daytime hours there could possibly be some outdoor activity at the track. The permitting process for the Greek Festival and the Irish Faire is through the Business License review process, because these are non-profit organizations. Under the existing code these types of non-profit organization activities could be broadened. In Council's ensuing discussion, Mayor Pro tern Harbicht noted that he is not concerned about a Conditional Use Permit process. Conditions are needed and a method of enforcement, if there are problems. It does not matter what the event is... what matters is the impact on the surrounding area. He feels that other restaurants have games on and they do not have to come to the City for a CUP. Conditions could be imposed on the evening events, such as: no parking in the north parking• lot; after 8:00 p.m. the broadcasting should be indoors only; the windows of the restaurant should be required to . be closed after 8:00 p.m., or whatever is reasonable; these events have to take place inside the building just like every other restaurant and bar in town. Mayor Chandler agreed with Mr. Harbicht. The City Manager noted that Council seems to be gravitating toward development standards versus a Conditional Use Permit process. , Staff could create such standards, i.e., hours of operation; what events are to be inside or outside. Staff can draft such standards as part of the code rather than a CUP process. Councilmember Kovacic stated in part, that he would like to see some sophisticated development standards that take into consideration the neighbors concerns about 5 3/7/00 42:0044 nighttime noise and other conditions such as, no broadcasting outdoors, closure of the restaurant windows; all patrons indoors; and, cibsure of the northern parking lot. Councilmember Marshall concurred with the concerns mentioned as conditions. Santa Anita, she believes, is being very cordial and cooperative about the concerns•of the neighbors. Council needs to listed to these concerns and also give consideration to Santa Anita's investment in the restaurant arid.allow them to be open and have some of the privileges that other sports bars and restaurants enjoy. At the conclusion of the discussion, it was MOVED by Mayor Pro tern Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Marshall and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to APPROVE Text Amendment 2000-001, incorporating the following changes and additions to the S-1 (Special Use) zoning regulations: 1) Amending Section 9273.1.10.1 to allow horse racing and other events to be telecast via satellite feed seven (7) days a week until no later than 1:30 a.m.; 2) An amendment to allow for year around usage of the restaurant located in the grandstand for non-horseracing activities and to use the big screen monitor in the infield for code permitted uses at the track, as amended by the City Council; and DIRECT staff to prepare the appropriate draft ordinance for adoption at a later-meeting, • .incorporating the conditions set forth by the City Council in its discussion this evening for approval of Text Amendment 2000-001. • i " -AYES: Councilmembers Harbicht, Kovacic, Marshall and Chandler NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Councilmember Roncelli (Excused from consideration of TA 2000-001 due to a conflict of interest) Referring back to the speakers at the public hearing on TA 2000-001, Councilmember Kovacic referred to the late night cleanup noise coming from the track and inquired of the City's noise ordinance. The City Manager commented that staff would provide a report regarding the noise ordinance which is based on the time of day and noise level. Councilmember Kovacic noted that the track placed a "blanket" shield around construction of the new restaurant to control the noise, this is something that should 'be • considered in the ordinance. 5. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Laura Kelso, 1201 Oakglen Avenue, President, Highland Oaks Elementary School PTA, commented on the achievements, awards and programs which have taken place; at Highland Oaks Elementary School in her "What's Right With Arcadia Kids" presentation. She announced that Highland Oaks School along with Holly Avenue School received the National Blue Ribbon School Excellence Award last May. Vince Foley, 320 Cambridge Drive, responded to a comment made by Mr. Richard Parker at the February 15, 2000 City Council meeting, and stated that the Fair Political Practices Commission confirmed that he does not have a conflict of interest as a City Council candidate, because of the proximity of his residence to the Santa Anita property. Councilmember Roncelli said that he would like to see Mr. Foley's confirmation from the FPPC. • • 6 3/7/00 • 4/4100 CITY COUNCIL MINUTES • 42:0064 It was MOVED by Councilmember Kovacic, seconded by Councilmember Marshall and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows that ORDINANCE NO. 2118 be and it is hereby ADOPTED.

ORDINANCE Consideration of the first reading and introduction of.,.ORDINANCE NO 2119, entitled: NO.2119 'AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, (Permitted Uses AMENDING SECTION 9273.1.10.1 AND ADDING SECTIONS 9273.1.18 AND 9273.2.10 in S-1 Zone & TO THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PERMITTED USES IN THE 5-1 Performance ZONE AND ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR CERTAIN Stds. For NIGHTTIME ACTIVITIES." Nighttime Activities) At a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council received public comments concerning proposed amendments to certain S-1 zoning regulations (T.A. 2000-01). The Council ! approved the text amendment by a 4-0 vote, with one member abstaining, that provided for the following: 1. To allow horseracing and other events-to be telecast via satellite feed seven days a week until no later than 1:30 a.m. - ---. . .. • 2. To allow for year-around usage of the enclosed restaurant located in the grandstand area for non-horseracing activities. 3. To allow the use of the big screen monitor in the infield for all code permitted uses. 4. To establish the following performance standards for nighttime activity at the race track. - a) No person, other than employees of the racetrack, shall be allowed in the unenclosed areas of the grandstand and racetrack between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. b) There shall be no outdoors sound amplification or use of outdoor loudspeakers • between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00.2.M. • c) Windows in the enclosed restaurant located within.the grandstand structure shall be closed between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. d) During the non-racing season, the northerly parking lot shall not be utilized for patron parking. Mr. DeMarco, representing the,Los Angeles Turf Club (LATC), stated in part, that LATC requests that introduction of Ordinance No.2119 be continued to the May 2, 2000 Council meeting and the public hearing for Text Amendment 2000-001 be reopened. T.A. 2000- 01, amending and adding sections to the Arcadia`Municipal Code related to permitted used-in the S-1 (Special Use) Zone for certain nighttime activities. Mr. DeMarco stated, in part, that LATC would like additional time to conduct audio tests to get some noise levels, if there are any emanating from the race track. . This would be valuable information to the Council when determining whether or not Council wants to adopt the ordinance. • • Mr. DeMarco further expressed his belief that there was some miscommunication at the ' March 7th Council Meeting as to the exact nature of the request of LATC. They would like to meet with area residents and other interested parties to explain exactly what the track 6 414/00 • 42:0065 is trying to do on its property... then introduce Ordinance No. 2119 at the May 2and meeting in a slightly different form. He felt an extension of the hearing on T.A. 2000-001 and introduction of Ordinance No. 2119 would be beneficial to everyone. Mr. DeMarco noted reopening the public hearing may require additional notice to the public... LATC would pay the cost for the mailing. • Referencing a letter from Santa Anita Park, Councilmember Kovacic agreed there was miscommunication because it appears that certain outdoor activities are now being included in the LATC request. He was lead to believe at the public hearing, that Council was considering only, inside activities and, if so;reopening the public hearing would be appropriate. He now understands the track would like to propose limited outside activities. The City Attorney advised, and stated in part, if the original request of LATC and the notice to the public did not clearly indicate there would be outdoor usage of the kind described in recent correspondence, then he agreed that it would be appropriate to notice a new public hearing. As long as the hearing notice was broad enough to encompass the action Council may take to reopen the hearing, there is no legal requirement to advertise a new hearing, however, Council may, if they wish to do so. Mayor Pro tern Harbicht noted, although there is no legal necessity to reopen the public hearing, Mr. DeMarco's comments indicated the track would like to be good neighbors. In the spirit of fair play, and in fact, the referenced letter from Santa Anita does ask for • something different than that discussed at the March 7th Council meeting... the public hearing should be reopened for comment on those matters requested by the race track. It was MOVED by Mayor Pro tern Harbicht, seconded by Councilmember Marshall and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to CONTINUE introduction of Ordinance No. 2119 to the May 2, 2000 meeting of the City Council and REOPEN and NOTICE the public hearing for that same date. AYES: Councilmembers Harbicht, Kovacic, Marshall and Chandler NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: Councilmember Roncelli (for reasons previously stated) ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Marshall adjourned the meeting in memory of Jennie Kidd, stating, (In Memory of "unfortunately I learned this week that Virginia Kidd, affectionately known as Jennie Kidd, Jennie Kidd) was born August 29, 1923... passed away March 31st from an aneurysm in her head. She was a longtime resident of Arcadia. She is survived by her husband, Harold Kidd, her husband of forty-eight years. She has two daughters and one son. Our condolences go to the Kidd family. Jennie will be missed and remembered by many. Thank you." ADJOURNMENT Mayor Pro tern Harbicht adjourned the meeting in memory of John Lynn, stating, in part, (In Memory of It is my unpleasant duty to close the meeting in memory of a.good friend of mine and a John Lynn) good friend of.Arcadia, John Lynn.. John passed away in mid-March: He was born in 1917 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. .He was eightyrtwo.when he passed away. John served in the Persian Command of the U.S..Army during World War Il. Here in Arcadia he was an active member of the Arcadia Civitan Club and held many offices, including president and district governor. He was also an active member of the Arcadia Presbyterian Church, where he was an elder and a deacon. More.specifically, to the City of Arcadia, John was a volunteer in the Police Department for:nearly eight years. He • offered his time in several support areas including assisting with open house,. at community events, interacting with the senior population and he maintained the departments access in key control records. In addition to his volunteer activities he was a 7 414/00 is 1/25100 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES • 2. PUBLIC HEARING 1 000-001 Consideration of a text ainendnrient amending Section 9213.1.10.1 to allow horseracing and other events to be telecast via satellite feed seven (7) days a week until no later than 11:30 • a.m. In addition, they are requesting'that a new section be added to the Arcadia Municipal Code to allow for year-arothd usage of the restaurant located in the grandstand for non- horse racing activities and to Use the big screen monitor in the infield for code permitted uses at the track. The staff report was presented. Commissioner Sleeter remarked that he owns two properties within the 1000' radius of the property. Ms. Butler responded to a question by Commissioner Sleeter, by saying that the code was amended in 1992 to allow for live horseracing on Friday and Saturday evenings until 1:30 a.m. She explained the recent code changes that were requested by the applicant. She remarked that Chief Hinig, form the Police Dept. reviewed this request and commented that Santa Anita has provided good security in the past. The public hearing was opened. Bob Kimball, 140 Santa Cruz, was concerned about patrons of the racetrack who leave the track and utilize his neighborhood. They drive very fast and it is dangerous for his children and the others in the neighborhood. They drive through their neighborhood to get to the freeway rather than using the main thoroughfare. He asked what type of people would be going to a racetrack at 1:30 a.m. This is not a normal way of life and he characterized them as persons with no scruples. Most crimes occur at night. Tom Kocayh, 137 Santa Cruz, commented that this area has seen an increase in traffic since 1992 when nighttime racing was allowed. Allowing this to happen seven nights will undoubtedly increase crime levels. He was concerned about their safety. He did not object to utilization of the screen and the restaurant but he did not want people driving up and down his street at 1:30 in the morning: John Kivases, 400 Oxford, said they are used to the noise from the racetrack and at times it is nice to hear the voice of the announcer. But he did not want to hear races at 1:30 in the morning. In affect, their neighborhood has lost the use of their back yards because of all the noise that is created by the racetrack. He wanted to have the same peace and quite that the Planning Commissioners enjoy in their backyard. • Dirk Hudons, 428 Stanford, was concerned about people drinking that late at night. He thought some restriction should be placed on the,bar. Tom Austin, 285 W. Huntington Dr:, representing the racetrack explained the different sound . systems that they have in place. One system is a very powerful system that is utilized for live races. This system is never used in the evenings. However, they have another system that is used in the infield that is not as strong. The latter is used during the different festivals that are held in the infield. The system that will be utilized for this request is an indoor system. Outdoor speakers would not be used. With the exception of the Greek festival which ends approximately at 10:00 p.m., all. Arcadia City Planning Commission 3 1/25/00 • • • other similar events end usually ny 8:00 p.m. He stated that since 1992 when the code was amended,they have had a few evening events—about three Fridays in a year. • With regard to excessive drinking, he indicated that the rules would be the same as any other restaurant in the community. Generally,there are two persons in each car, so there would not be 400 cars in the parking lot. That number would more likely be about 160 cars. Depending on the number of people that they are expecting, they will utilize different parking lots. They close off portions of the building that would not be needed. Gates 5;and 6 would be utilized for these events. The sound system from the large monitor will only be,ol inside of the building. The screen is visible from the restaurant. The grandstand area will not be open during these vents. Patrons will be inside the building and they will be monitoring that so they are not outside. He did not object to closing off Gate 6 during these events. Commissioner Sleeter was concerned with patrons exiting north on Gate 5, traveling northbound on Colorado,making a right turn on San Juan and then traveling at high speeds on Santa Cruz. He had a problem with this He realized that the racetrack has a good security and monitoring of their parking but he was concerned after patrons leave their facility. Many of their patrons do not want to pay for parking. They park in his neighborhood and after the conclusion of the events they will walk over to get their cars. He knew of several vehicles that park there all day and the cars are gone by 10:00 p.m. His guests cannot park more than an hour, on race days in front of his house due to the parking restrictions. Closing gate 6 and using gate 5 only shifts the problem. It does not solve it. Commissioner Murphy said that the racetrack has served alcoholic beverages before; therefore, nothing has changed. Mt. Austin remarked that they do not have live racing at 1:30 a.m.but they are covering signals from other world events. The clock determines the need to be open until 1:30 a.m. Commissioner Sleeter returned back to the gate issue and said for a time the Police used to put out barricade but they are not doing that now. Commissioner Kalemkiarian said that is a different issue. They need to concentrate on the issue before them. Commissioner Sleeter was upset With the racetrack patrons utilizing their streets as a short cut to get to the freeway. Commissioner Murphy wondered how would they determine what gate to utilize? Under what circumstance would they use one vs. the other? Mr. Austin replied the crowd expectancy would determine which gate is utilized. When they are expecting a larger crowd they would use Gate 5. If they expect a larger crowd they may utilize the Civic Center exit. Chairman Bruckner said that this just pushes the traffic from one neighborhood to another. Commissioner Murphy remarked that if Gates 5 and 8 are utilized, it would not be as imposing because they are at.opposite sides. Flittlia city P1Atmittg artitttricsiott 4 1/25/00 Commissioner Huang thought tl vas rather late to have the restaurant a )arking lot utilized. Mr. Austin replied that the 1:30 a.m. is the same as what has been in place for Friday and Saturday nights since 1992. The noise would not be broadcast in the grand stands — only inside of the • building. j No one else spoke in favor of or in opposition to this item. Chairman Bruckner closed the public hearing. Commissioner Sleeter was concerned with their patrons not parking on the lot and utilizing their neighborhoodto park. He was concerned with the increased traffic created as a result and the speeds that they will be traveling through his neighborhood iri the early morning hours. He had concerns with people now being able to stay until 1:30 a.m. every night of the week. He did not want people . wandering that late at night through his neighborhood. He knows they are walking in the neighborhood because he has seen the torn tickets and programs on the street. He remarked that robbery is a crime of opportunity and he was concerned with the neighborhood's safety: All of his attempts in putting up barricades, similar to the ones in the Lower Rancho area,. have been unsuccessful. He thought that they had a valid concern and if they can mitigate it, they should. Chairman Bruckner asked if they could require a CUP? Ms. Butler replied that the Planning Commission could recommend to the City Council that this be permitted subject to an approved CUP. A CUP would allow them to place specific conditions of approval. If they fail to comply then the CUP can be revoked. The City has successfully done;this and they have revoked a CUP when there were problems associated with it. It would be easier to place conditions if a CUP is required instead of putting conditions in the code. The CUP is easier to enforce. Chairman Bruckner remarked that if they did require a CUP, in affect, they are adding another step to the process. This would allow them additional opportunity to review activities. Commissioner Kalemkiarian wondered if parking limit was to be in place that would help mitigate Commissioner Sleeter's.concerns. If someone repeatedly parked there, the Police would then ticket them. That would certainly stop someone from using their neighborhood to park, especially if the parking at the track is free. They have addressed the noise concern, since all activity will'be indoors. Ms. Butler felt that it would be a better if each request was considered separately. She remarked'that unfortunately, the City cannot address all issues and keep everyone happy. If the City Council approves this text amendment with the Planning Commission's recommendation of requiring a CUP, if problems arise, they can always bring the application back to the Planning. Commission for review. At that time, they can either revoke or impose additional conditions. She'reminded the Planning Commission that the applicant can have control over what their patrons do on site but cannot dictate what they do after they leave their site.

I left that meeting with the clear impression that the consensus among the Council was that it would be inappropriate for the race track to be permitted ■ operations which would continue or expand the noise level radiating to its neighbors. During my remarks to you I commented on the fact that, when I originally purchased my home on • Cambridge Drive in 1975, I found it a novel experience to be able to stand in my back yard on a Saturday or, Sunday afternoon and, in my mind's eye, envision the race that was occurring. I could follow the horses on the track by the fluctuating levels of crowd noise. That was and continues to be acceptable. However, I also commented to you on the fact that, in recent years, I and my neighbors have increasingly been subjected to continuous excessive noise from events at the track, particularly on the weekends, both afternoons and evenings.•That continues to this very day. Today I received a copy of The Arcadia Weekly reporting on the fact that Santa Anita Racetrack now says that it wants to have outdoor night events. According to the article, Lonny Powell, President of the Turf Club, has said that it expects to be permitted to operate its business within the same guidelines as other businesses. I doubt seriously that any of my neighbors would object to the track being operated under the same guidelines as other businesses. To my knowledge, no other business in Arcadia generates noise and crowds remotely approaching that generated by the racetrack. To my knowledge, no other Arcadia business imposes on its neighbors as Santa Anita Racetrack does. Unfortunately, our experience seems to indicate that the Track really is not interested in operating under the same guidelines which govern other businesses. • City Council 1 1 April 10, 2000 Page 2 As I dictate this letter, I am inside my house with all of the doors and windows closed. Nonetheless, I can clearly hear the entertainment from the track which has been blaring all afternoon today. It is not the crowd noise rising and falling as the horses run around the track. It is the noise of a loud musical group. Perhaps my pique stems from the fact that I did not get to choose the music — I can guarantee you the music is.not to my liking. In truth, however, I would be just as offended by the noise intrusion if the track had employed the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra to play classical music all afternoon. I should not be subjected to their choice of noise, music, or other entertainment any more than I would expect to subject them;to mine. In recent weeks I have received assurances from a representative of the track that it wished to be "good neighbor." At ten minutes after 6 this morning I was awakened, as is often the case, by the loudspeaker system at the track hailing a veterinarian to the barns. It is outrageous to suggest that an organization that can spend millions of dollars upgrading a restaurant, remodeling its track and other facilities could not do such a minor thing as adjusting the levels of its speaker system or find a new more neighborly method o hail people in the barn areas and on the infield! Perhaps, in a perverse way, we should be grateful for the behavior of the track at this time, while its applications are pending before the City Council. We have been given all sorts of assurances about its good intentions and desire to be a good neighbor. However, its actions speak considerably louder (the pun is intended) than its words. I respectively urge you first to continue to course of action you began several weeks ago aimed at restricting night operations at the track to those which will make no noise and will not impose additional burdens on the neighborhood. Secondly, I urge you to undertake a serious study of the noise pollution.coming from the track. Take Mr. Powell seriously at his word. Impose the same guidelines on the track as are imposed on other businesses. Very truly yours, • .

Huntington Dr. • Arcadia, Ca 91007 • Dear.Sir: • • I am writing to you as a concerned neighbor who lives.across the street from the race track. I am addressing you because I was told that you are in charge of maintenance at the park, but I am also addressing the owners of the park as well, who are interested in expanding usage of the park. • • I am concerned about the expanded hours of the park because of the cleaning schedule the park has been on in the past. I am new to the neighborhood and have enjoyed the quiet nights until the race season began in December. At that point, on race days, at about midnight the sound of sweepers pierced the air. I made several calls to different people and for the most part have not heard them that late at night. However it has not completely stopped and I wanted to let you know this. I have conferred with other • members of the condo association and they to have not liked the noise either. The second item I wanted to bring up is my concern that the park would like to extend the • hours of the usag-e.of the park. I want the management to know that I and others from Fashion Park Villas would not approve of this Move if it means that the park will be cleaned after eleven o'clock at night. I appreciate your consideration to this matter and hope this will be taken into account when future decisions about the usage of the park are made. Thank you. .

Dear Ms Butler: We. have lived on Santa Rosa Road since 1960 . The area was quiet, almost rural, except for racetrack traffic during late December through sometime in March. Then came the freeway noise, Oak Tree racing, Sunday racing, racing through the month of April, and lately what passes as "entertainment" in the infield, which is nearly unbearable on some Saturday and Sunday after- noons. I'M sure that if we were to turn our music to the volume which comes from the racetrack, we 'would be cited for disturbing the peace. Therefore, we want to go on record as being unalterably OPPOSED to any further use of the "big screen" or any other type of outdoor entertainment Santa Anita may try to foist on the citizens of. Arcadia, most especially those of us within "hearing" distance. What they do indoors, such as the restaurant, is fine with us. Just, please, don' t ask us. to endure any more Mariachi and rock music when we are in the privacy of our own homes and are unable • totturn down the volume, or better yet, - turn it OFF! Finally, Mr. Harbicht should refrain from voting /on Santa Anita . issues since he obviously is beholden to them. Sincerely, • ec,r,;(,;,. Guy H. Richards Patricia A.

MCZ:3 Attention: Community Development Division sion 240 West Huntington Drive Arcadia, California 91006 RE: Application of Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc./Hearing January 25, 200.0 Dear Sirs: This letter is in response to the formal notice which I and others living within 1,000 feet of the Santa Anita Race Track have received regarding the application of the Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc. for two (2) revisions to the Arcadia Municipal Code. The notice is unclear as to how the use of the "big screen monitor in the infield for code permitted uses at the track" will relate to the proposal to permit the telecast of horse "and other events" seven (7) days a week until 1:30 A.M.. My specific concern relates to the transmission of sound from the racetrack into my neighborhood. At the present time, due to the arrangement of the loudspeaker system at the track, we are able to hear virtually all events at the track, including those that extend into the night. At 6:30 AM, we can clearly hear the barns calling for veterinarians. In the evenings, when the track permits events in the infield, we are obliged to participate as well since we cannot escape the noise. With the doors and windows of my home closed, I can still hear all the music whether I want it or not. I have written to the Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc., asking that they do something about the noise. Thus far my letters have been to no avail. I believe that we have a legitimate concern that if "horse racing and other events" are permitted to be displayed on the big screen in the infield, we will also be treated to the accompanying sound - again, whether we want it or not! I found nothing in the negative declaration which addressed that issue. I found no mitigating requirements which appeared designed to protect the neighbors of the track from the intrusion into their homes of the noise •from the track - especially after 6PM when all racing has ended. In actual fact, the negative declaration, under the heading "Environmental Factors", failed even to consider noise factors. The sound intrusion from the track constitutes a nuisance to those of us who live within earshot of its speaker system. There is absolutely no legitimate reason that the speakers are • Arcadia City Planning Commis • January 11, 2000 Page 2 aimed outward toward the surrounding neighborhoods rather than inward toward the infield. There is similarly no reason for the sound to be turned up as loud as it always is. But the track can do it, so it does! Those of us living near the track moved into ours:neighborhoods with the full understanding that horse racing was conducted there in the afternoons during certain specific racing meetings. Over the years, perhaps as a result of a decline in interest in horse racing, the track has expanded its activities into the evenings and well beyond the scheduled race meetings to sponsor other events—all of which have adversely affected the tracks neighbors. I respectfully request that you impose stringent noise controls on the Los Angeles Turf Club, Inc., both in respect to the Code changes which it is requesting and with respect to its other operations. Basic courtesy dictates that neighbors act politely toward each other so as not to impose upon them. That is a principle which seems to have escaped the Los Angeles • Turf Club, Inc. Perhaps you would be kind enough to remind them of it. Very truly yours, : : :ROWN LLP 1 �� 41 4111P■_,4011.1 aft. i �/ . evenW.

Kinnahan, Economic Development Administrator TA Prepared by: Brian Saeki, Redevelopment Project Analyst RE: Report and recommendation to approve Design Review for the property at 29 E. Huntington Drive (formerly Steerburger Restaurant). SUMMARY In May 1998, the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency Board approved interior and exterior improvements to 29 E. Huntington Drive (formerly Steerburger Restaurant). The Applicant is now ready to proceed with the improvements but must again receive Agency Board approval in accordance with ARA 126 which states that Agency Board approval for a design review is only valid for a period of one (1) year. The new plans are similar to what was approved in 1998. The applicant is proposing to make substantial modifications to the existing structure. The building will be divided into 2,116 square feet of retail space on Huntington Drive and 2,381 square feet of dental office space of which 1,368 square feet will be new construction located at the north end of the existing building. A modification for parking will be required. Additionally, the existing building facades (north, south, and east) will be rehabilitated with substantial improvements. The Applicant has applied for financial assistance through the Agency's Commercial Façade Rehabilitation Program (CFRP). The exterior improvements are the focus of this design review.

PURPOSE OF USE AND DESIGN REVIEW The purpose of the Agency's Design Review is to ensure that proposed projects meet adopted City and Agency standards and design guidelines based upon the following criteria: Design Review Page 3 05/02/2000 1. The general use and design considerations, including the character, scale, and quality of design are consistent with the Redevelopment Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and adopted use and design guidelines; 2. The use and architectural design of structures and their materials and colors are visually compatible with surrounding development and improvements on the site, and design elements (i.e., screening of equipment, exterior lighting, signs, awnings, etc.) have been incorporated to further ensure the compatibility of the structures with the character and uses of adjacent development; 3. The location and configuration of structures are compatible with their site and with surrounding sites and structures, and do not dominate their surroundings to an extent inappropriate to their use; and 4. The use, design and layout of the proposed project will not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future development, and will not result in vehicular and/or pedestrian hazards. ANALYSIS A. DESIGN FEATURES The Applicant, Dr. Hanfu Lee has prepared and provided a color board and colored elevations of the buildings for staffs review. They are available for review in the Economic Development Office and will be on display at the Agency meeting. The Applicant proposes to make substantial changes to the appearance of the structure. The current structure features flat surfaces on all sides (brick veneer and stucco) and an uninteresting flat roofline. The new design provides major building articulation through the use of a variety of materials (shake roof tiles, facia board, stucco plant-ons, exterior fixtures, new window openings, and landscaping planter). The proposed Huntington Drive elevation represents a major improvement over the current architectural theme. The current storefront has a flat, brick veneered surface and no window openings. The Applicant proposes to rehab this elevation with more inviting and traditional retail design elements. The new façade will feature three entrances (two for the retail sales area and another on the east for the dental office), new window openings (trimmed in dark blue adjacent to the retail entrance), a two foot high landscaping planter, and a sloped dark gray cedar shake roof. Wall surfaces will be blue-gray stucco with white and dark blue trim accents. The proposed changes to the rear of the building are similar to the front (window openings, dark gray shingle roof, blue-gray stucco walls with white and dark blue trim and facia boards, and landscaping planters). The eastern elevation is immediately adjacent to a newly installed storm drain and pedestrian access easement connecting Parking District No. 2 and Huntington Drive. Design Review Page 4 05/02/2000 This easement was obtained from the previous owner as part of the Pedestrian Accessway Component of the Downtown 2000 Revitalization Project. Because of the easement (and the prospect of future foot traffic), care has been taken to include architectural detail on the eastern façade. This detail includes new window openings, door openings, and facade articulation. Landscaping has been included in planters near the rear entry. B. STAFF CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL • The building colors and materials shall conform to the exhibits as presented to the Agency Board, and as shown on Attachment 2. • The Arcadia Redevelopment Agency approval is valid for a period of one (1) year as per ARA 126 adopted by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency on December 2, 1986. • The Applicant shall comply with all other conditions of approval required by the Development Services Department, Public Works Services, and the Arcadia Fire Department. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS The Comprehensive Downtown 2000 Business Incentive Program, which includes the CFRP, was assessed by The Planning Center (TPC) in 1996. Based upon their analysis, a Negative Declaration was adopted which covers all Applicants taking part in the CFRP. RECOMMENDATION IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVE THE DESIGN REVIEW FOR 29 EAST HUNTINGTON DRIVE SUBJECT TO THE DEPARTMENTAL CONDITIONS LISTED ABOVE.
