Kelly, City Manager t3' g By: Linda Garcia, Special Projects Manager SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE EXISTING PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RTKL ASSOCIATES, INC./ID8; TO ENTER INTO A NEW PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE SAME COMPANY; AND TO APPROVE EXPENDITURES IN THE AMOUNT OF $41,000.00 SUMMARY The fiscal year 2000 -2001 budget includes a Citywide Signage and Banner Program. The first phase of this project is almost finished and we are just about ready to move forward with design development and fabrication. After that is completed we will then purchase and install the signs and banners. Because it is City policy that the City Council approve expenditures over $15,000.00 for work performed on a project by a single contractor, staff is seeking City Council approval to amend the existing Professional Services Agreement with RTKL Associates, Inc./ID8 for creation of a "logo" and approval to enter into a new Professional Services Agreement with them for design development and fabrication. DISCUSSION The fiscal year 2000 -2001 budget includes an allocation of $60,000.00 for a Citywide Signage and Banner Program. To date, $20,407.52 has been expended for the creation of design concepts for City Council review and for the initial preparation of a way finding plan. At their meeting of March 6, 2001 the City Council requested additional concepts that incorporate a peacock into the design. Once this is completed and approved, we will move on to design development and fabrication. RTKL Associates, Inc. /ID8 has submitted the following proposal to the City: Creation of a sign and banner design/logo that incorporates a peacock $ 5,000.00 Designs and specifications for main entry monuments, directional $26,000.00 signage (vehicular, pedestrian and parking) and banners Shop drawing review, fabrication review and post - installation $ 8,000.00 review (maximum of 80 hours) Estimated cost of reimbursable expenses /contingency $ 2,000.00 IMAGEU1,010.00* 0 o</ . /y ..e, M Mayor and City Council — Signage and Banner Program April 3, 2001 Page 2 Below is a financial summary of where this project stands to date: Expended to date: $20,407.52 Additional work described herein: $41,000.00 $61,407.52 Budget allocation (2000 - 2001): $60,000.00 Additional appropriation required: $ 1,407.52 M * These fees do not include electrical or structural engineering, traffic engineering, a site survey of existing conditions, or new concepts after approval of each phase. It is City policy for the City Council to approve expenditures over $15,000.00 for work done on a single project by an individual contractor. Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend the existing Professional Services Agreement with RTKL Associates, Inc. /ID8 for logo design and to enter into a new Professional Services Agreement for the design development and fabrication work noted above. It is further recommended that the City Council appropriate an additional $1,407.52 from the General Fund for this project. FISCAL IMPACT The 2000 -2001 budget includes an allocation of $60,000.00 for this project. To proceed as outlined in this report the City Council will need to appropriate an additional $1,407.52 from the General Fund. There are sufficient funds available. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the City Manager to amend the existing Professional Services Agreement with RTKL ASSOCIATES, Inc./ID8 for logo design and to enter into a new Professional Services Agreement with the same company for the design development and fabrication work noted above. 2.

Casalou, Management Analyst 7w— SUBJECT: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO AUTHORIZE THE ARCADIA BEAUTIFUL COMMISSION TO NAME AWARDS FOR ARCADIA POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE LINE OF DUTY Summary The Arcadia Beautiful Commission recently approached staff requesting permission to memorialize Arcadia police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty. Fallen police.officers and firefighters would be memorialized by adding their names to signs awarded at the annual Arcadia Beautiful Awards ceremony. Staff is therefore recommending the City Council approve the request of the Arcadia Beautiful Commission to memorialize fallen Arcadia police and firefighters. Discussion Mr. Gary Brewer, Chairman of the Arcadia Beautiful Commission, approached staff to request permission to memorialize fallen Arcadia police officers and firefighters. The City of Arcadia has lost two safety employees in the line of duty, Motor Officer Albert Matthies and Fire Captain Jerry Broadwell. The Commission's idea was to add the names of Arcadia police officers and firefighters to the signs awarded to winners at the annual Spring awards. The Commission previously memorialized the late Councilman Dennis Lojeski in the same manner. Staff is in favor of the Commission's request and is recommending the City Council approve staffs recommendation. Fiscal Impact There is no fiscal impact to the City by approving this recommendation. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council: Authorize the Arcadia Beautiful Commission to name awards for Arcadia police and firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty.

The Development Services Department is recommending approval of a one-year time extension to April 5, 2002.

No extension shall be granted unless the Council finds justifiable cause for such extension. , Rodeffer Trust recently completed perimeter landscaping, constructed a block wall on Lower Azusa Road with signage and completed access improvements to the site and is working on completion of a revised grading plan that will be Timeext4-3-01 Time Extension CUPP 9 R ,ED Page 1 CoN . /y ri , submitted to the City in the near future.

RESOLUTION NO. 6218, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF ITS SERIES A OF 2001 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS (POLICE STATION. PROJECT) IN THE AMOUNT OF EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS ($8,000,000) FOR POLICE STATION USES, AND A SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTION TO THE GOVERNING TERMS OF THE$8,000,000 SERIES A OF 2001 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA (POLICE STATION PROJECT). SUMMARY • On November 2, 1999, the electorate approved the issuance by the City of $8.0 million in General Obligation Bonds for the Police Station Project. On February 20, 2001, the City Council authorized the retention of consultants to prepare the necessary documents for the issuance of the General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds. Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolutions,6217 and 6218 which will authorize the sale of $8 million in General Obligation Bonds. Also at the February 20, 2001 meeting,the Redevelopment Agency Board authorized the retention of these same consultants to prepare the necessary documents for the issuance of up to $22 million in Tax Allocation Bonds (T.A.B.). Four million dollars($4 million) of this amount would be used to repay the Agency's debt to the City, $2.5 million of the bond proceeds would be given to the City as the balance of the Agency's share of the Police Station project. Approximately $3 million would be used to refund the Agency's 1989 bond issue for the City Public Works Services Department Center, and • Mayor and City Council', ; April 3, 2001 Page 3 the balance of the net proceeds would be used for Agency tax-exempt capital projects, e.g., fire station improvements, traffic signal improvements, and other taxable projects, e.g., property acquisition and/or development assistance. Staff recommends that the Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution ARA-191 and City Council Resolution 6219 which will authorize the sale of up to $22 million in 2001 Series A (tax exempt) and Series B (taxable) Tax Allocation Bonds. DISCUSSION City General Obligation Bonds ($8 million) The voters of the City, on November 2, 1999 by a 76% majority, authorized the issuance of $8 million in General Obligation Bonds. The City's financial consultant for the preparation of the ballot materials, Fieldman Rolapp & Associates (FRA), advised the City Council that an $8 million bond issue would place a tax of approximately$11.28 per $100,000 of assessed value on all properties in the City (FRA recently advised staff that this figure could be 10% less at time of bond issuance). The City Council and Agency at their joint Study Session on February 20, 2001 provided final determination that the balance of the $8 million necessary to fund the design and construction of the $16 million Police facility was to come from the Redevelopment Agency ($4 million) and City Capital Outlay funds ($4 million). On the Agenda this evening are several City Council documents related to the G.O. Bond Issue for your consideration and which will require your approval: Attachment 1 — Draft Preliminary Official Statement for the issuance of $8 million in General Obligation Bonds. - This document has been prepared in large part by the Agency's bond counsel, Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth, with significant input from staff. This document is a statement of the major facts about the City, its current financial and development history, its management system, the bond issue's purpose, bid, sale and award procedures, payments of principal and interest, the term of the bonds (30 years), registration, redemption, transfer and exchange of bonds, creation of funds, continuing disclosure requirements, tax exempt opinion and Constitutional and State provisions affecting this bond issue. It is the basic source of information to the potential bond buyer and as such it is essential that the information within itibe accurate and complete. Attachment 2 — City Council Resolution 6217 - This resolution sets forth the amount of the 2001 General Obligation Series A issue ($8 million), states where the bids will be received, and when, (Offices of Fieldman, Rolapp in Irvine, CA, on May 15,. 2001 at 10:00 a.m., or on each consecutive Tuesday until sold), and authorizes publication of the proposed sale in the Arcadia Weekly and in the Bond Buyer, and sets forth the bid and award procedure. Mayor and City Council • April 3, 2001 Page 4 Attachment 3 — City'Council Resolution 6218 - This resolution affirms that a vote of the electorate was held, that over two-thirds (2/3) of the voters approved the issuance of$8 million in G.O. Bonds, that the maturity date of the bonds shall be as set forth in the supplemental Resolution included in this Resolution 6218, and authorizes the City Manager to enter into all agreements to implement the sale of the bonds. The supplemental resolution, which is part of City Council Resolution 6218, sets forth the "governing terms" of the $8 million Series A 2001 G.O. Bond Issue. This document sets forth in detail how the bonds will be denominated ($5,000), bid, sold, awarded, executed, authenticated, registered, transferred, exchanged and redeemed. It establishes the required accounting funds —Acquisition and Construction Fund, Rebate Fund, Security/Debt Service Fund, and establishes the investment policy (pursuant to federal and state law), and tax covenants. Redevelopment Agency Tax Allocation.Bonds ($22 million) The Redevelopment Agency Board, at its joint Study Session with the City Council on February 20, 2001, determined that it will issue the maximum amount of bonds possible in order to implement several pending projects. This amount was determined to be approximately $22 million by the Agency's property tax consultant, HdL Coren & Cone. The $22 million (less approximately $2.8 million for costs of issuance and debt service reserve) may be used for lawful redevelopment activities including the following projects and activities: Tax Exempt Refinancing Refund 1989 Issue - $3.0 million - To refund the Agency's 1989 bond issue for the City's Public Works Services Department Center. Series 2001A—Tax Exempt • Police Station - $2.5 million - To pay the balance of the $4 million Agency Contribution to the Police Station Project. Fire Station - $800,000 — To pay the Agency's share of a new or renovated Fire Station. Repay Agency Debt to City - $4 million — The Agency previously borrowed money from the City to carry out earlier redevelopment projects. Other Tax Exempt Projects - $700,000 — This will provide for other public improvements,e.g., traffic signals, etc. Mayor and City Council April 3, 2001 Page 5 • Series 2001 B —Taxable Acquisition Projects - $8 million - These include the typical Agency acquisition/relocation/clearance projects in the downtown, e.g., Fifth Avenue, Foulger area, South Arcadia (if approved).

This document is a statement of the major facts about the City, the.Agency, the Agency's financial and development history, its management system, the purpose of the • bond issues (tax exempt and taxable), bid, sale, award procedures, payment of principal. and interest registration, redemption, transfer and exchange of bonds, creation of funds, continuing disclosure requirements, tax treatment of the two series of bonds, and Constitutional and State provisions affecting the bond issue. It is the basic source of information to the potential bond buyer and as such it is essential the information within it be accurate and complete. Attachment 5 — Redevelopment Agency Resolution No. ARA 191 — This resolution authorizes the publication of the notice of sale of up to $22 million in Tax Allocation • Bonds, approves preparation of the continuing disclosure certificate, approves the preparation and distribution of the preliminary official statement and financing documents, and authorizes the sale of 2001 bonds on certain terms and conditions (i.e., "the indenture"). Attachment 6 — City Council Resolution No. 6219 - By law the legislative body (City • Council) must also approve the refinancing of the 1989 bonds and the issuance of new money bonds.

Present at the meeting will be Tim Schaefer and Jim Fabian of the Agency's financial advisor, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates, and Kurt Yeager and Mark Huebsch, attorneys with the Agency's bond counsel firm, Stradling, Yocca, Carlson & Rauth. -�.

Any failure of DTC to advise any DTC Participant,or of any DTC Participant to notify any Beneficial Owner, of any such notice and its content or effect will not affect the validity or sufficiency of the proceedings relating to the prepayment of the Bonds called for prepayment or of any other action premised on such notice. The Paying Agent, the County, the City and the Underwriter of the Bonds have no responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership, or for maintaining,supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership of interests in the Bonds. So long as DTC's book-entry system is used for the Bonds, payments of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be made by the Paying Agent only to DTC or its nominee as the registered Owner of the Bonds, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal,premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

In the event the City determines not to continue the DTC book-entry system or DTC determines to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds and the City does not select another qualified securities depository, the City shall deliver one or more Bonds in such principal amount or amounts, in denominations of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and registered in whatever name or names as DTC shall designate. In such event, transfers and exchanges of Bonds will be governed by the provisions of the Resolution. • Beneficial Owners of the Bonds may experience some delay in their receipt of distributions of principal and interest on the Bonds since such distributions will be forwarded by the Bond Registrar to DTC and DTC will credit such distributions to the accounts of the DTC Participants which will thereafter credit them to the accounts of the Beneficial Owners either directly or indirectly through indirect participants.

SECURITY FOR THE BONDS General The City Council, so far as practicable, shall fix a rate or rates for a tax to be levied on the taxable property in the City as will result in revenues which will pay the interest on the Bonds and Parity Bonds (as such terms are defined in the Resolution), and provide a debt service fund for the payment of the principal of such debt as it may become due. If the revenues of the City are, or in the judgment of the City Council will probably be, inadequate for any cause to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds as principal and interest become due, the City Council must cause a tax to be levied, as provided in the provisions of the Law, sufficient to provide for such deficit and to pay the amount of such principal and interest as will become due before the proceeds of a tax levied at the next general tax levy will be available. The City Council shall determine the fiscal year for all of the amounts above set forth, and shall fix the rate or rates of tax to be levied which will raise the amounts of money required by the City for such purposes, and as required by the provisions of the Law, the City Council shall certify to the County Auditor of the County (the "Auditor") the rate or rates so fixed and shall furnish to the Auditor a statement in writing containing the following: (a) An estimate of the minimum amount of money required to be raised by taxation during the fiscal year for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, as will become due • before the proceeds of a tax levied at the next general tax levy will be available; (b) An estimate of the minimum amount of money required to be raised by taxation during the fiscal year for all other purposes of the City; and (c) Any other items required by the provisions of the Law. The Auditor shall compute and enter in the County assessment roll the respective sums to be paid as a City tax on the property within the City using the rate or rates of levy as fixed by the City Council and the assessed value as found on the assessment roll for the property subject to the tax. As of March 1, 2001 the assessed valuation for all taxable property within the City was $5,379,905,501. See "CITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION—Tax Rates,Assessed Value and Tax Collections." It shall be the duty of all County officers charged with the duty of collecting taxes to collect such tax in time,form and manner as County taxes are collected and when collected to pay the same to the City. All such taxes for the payment of principal and interest on such Bonds shall be established,levied and collected as provided in the provisions of the Law. All monies derived from such taxes and all other monies allocated and designated for payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, together with the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds designated as premium and 12 DOCSOC\802907v4\24217.0001 • accrued interest, shall be placed in the Debt Service Fund, and until all of the Bonds and all interest thereon have been fully paid the monies in said fund shall be used for no other purpose than the payment of said Bonds and the interest thereon. Property Taxes The following is a description of the City's tax collection procedures. The City, like other California public agencies, is subject to Constitutional limits on its ability to raise and expend revenues, see "CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING PROPERTY TAXATION"herein. In California,property which is subject to ad valorem taxes is classified as "secured" or"unsecured". The secured classification includes property on which any property tax levied by a county becomes a lien on that property. A tax levied on unsecured property does not become a lien against the taxed unsecured property, but may become a lien on certain other property owned by the taxpayer. Every tax which becomes a lien on secured property has priority over all other liens, arising pursuant to State law, on the secured property, regardless of the time of the creation of other liens. The valuation of property is determined as of January 1 each year, and installments of taxes levied upon secured property become delinquent on the following April 10th and December 10th. Taxes on unsecured property are due March 1, and become delinquent August 31. Secured and unsecured property are entered separately on the assessment roll maintained by the county assessor, The method of collecting delinquent taxes is substantially different for the two classifications of property. The exclusive means of forcing the payment of delinquent taxes with respect to property on the secured roll is the sale of the property securing the taxes of the State for the amount of taxes that are delinquent. The taxing authority has four methods of collecting unsecured personal property taxes: (1) a civil action against the taxpayer; (2) filing a certificate in the office of the county clerk specifying certain facts in order to obtain a judgment lien on certain property of the taxpayer; (3) filing a certificate of delinquency for record in the County Recorder's Office in order to obtain a lien on certain property of the taxpayer, and (4) seizure and sale of personal property,improvement or possessory interest belonging or taxable to the assessee. A ten percent penalty is added to delinquent taxes which have been levied with respect to property on the secured roll. In addition, beginning on the July 1 following a delinquency, interest begins accruing at the rate of 1 1/2% per month on the amount delinquent. Such property may thereafter be redeemed by the payment of the delinquent taxes and the ten percent penalty,plus interest at the rate of 1 1/2%per month to the time of redemption. If taxes are unpaid for a period of five years or more, the property is deeded to the State and then is subject to sale by the county tax collector. A ten percent penalty also applies to the delinquent taxes or property on the unsecured roll, and further, an additional penalty of 1 1/2% per month accrues with respect to such taxes beginning on the varying dates related to the tax billing date. Legislation enacted in 1984 (Section 25 et seq. of the Revenue and Taxation Code of the State of California),provides for the supplemental assignment and taxation of property as of the occurrence of a change in ownership or completion of new construction. Previously, statutes enabled the assessment of such changes only as of the next tax lien date following the change and thus delayed the realization of increased property taxes from the new assessment for up to 14 months. Collection of taxes based on supplemental assessments occurs throughout the year. Taxes due are prorated according to the amount of time remaining in the tax year, with the exception of tax bills dated January 1 through May 31, which are calculated on the basis of the • remainder of the current fiscal year and the full 12 months of the next fiscal year.

The City's Financial Statements along with accompanying notes and opinions from the Independent Auditor for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2000, are set forth in Appendix A "Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For The Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2000." The City maintains its accounting records in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and the standards established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). On a quarterly basis, a report is prepared for the City Council which reviews fiscal performance to date against the budget and recommends any necessary changes. Combined financial statements are produced following the close of each Fiscal Year. The City Council employs an independent certified public accountant, who, at such time or times as specified by the City Council, at least annually, and at such other times as they determine, examines the financial statements of the City in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,including tests of the accounting records and other auditing procedures as such accountant considers necessary. As soon as practicable, after the end of the Fiscal Year, a final audit and report is submitted by the independent accountant to the City Council. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds and account groups, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures, or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based upon the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. The various governmental funds are grouped, in the City's annual financial statements,into generic fund types, which include the General Funds, Special Revenue Funds,Debt Service Funds and Capital Project Funds. The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund. Tables 1 through 4 below set forth certain historical and current fiscal year budget information for the General Fund. Information on the remaining governmental funds of the City as of June 30,2000 is set forth in Appendix A. Budget Procedure,Current Budget and Historical Budget Information • The Fiscal Year of the City begins on the first day of July of each year and ends on the 30th day of June of the following year. At such time as the City Manager determines, each department head must furnish to the City Manager an estimate of revenues and expenditures for the depaitiuent for the ensuing Fiscal Year, detailed in such manner as may be prescribed by the City Manager. In preparing the proposed budget, the City Manager reviews the estimates, holds conferences thereon with the respective department heads, and revises the estimates as he/she deems advisable. Prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year,the City Manager submits to the City Council the proposed budget. The City Council determines the time for the holding of a public hearing and causes a notice of public hearing to be published. Not less than ten days prior to the date of the public hearing, copies of the proposed budget are available for inspection by the public in the office of the City Clerk and at the City Library. During the public hearing and after its conclusion, the City Council further considers the proposed budget and makes • 22 DOCS O C\8 02907v4\24217.0001 • any revisions thereto that it deems advisable. On or before June 30, of each year, the City Council adopts the budget with revisions,if any,by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total members. From the effective date of the budget, the amounts stated as proposed expenditures become appropriated to the several departments, offices and agencies for the objects and purposes named,provided that the City Manager may transfer appropriations of a fund from one object or purpose to another within the same department in any amount up to $15,000. All other transfers or amendments require City Council approval. All appropriations lapse at the end of the Fiscal Year to the extent that they have not been expended or lawfully encumbered. At a public meeting after the adoption of the budget the City Council may amend or supplement the budget by motion adopted by four votes of the City Council. Set forth in Table 9 below are the adopted General Fund budgets for fiscal years 1999-00 through 2001-02.

For fiscal year 1999-00, approximately 55.28% of revenues were proceeds of taxes, 11.75% intergovernmental transfers, 5.99% charges imposed by the City for services, 8.72% license and permit fees and 18.27% miscellaneous revenues, fines, interest and rent. The City's total revenues for selected major revenue sources for the past five fiscal years are set forth in Table 12 below: Table 12 CITY OF ARCADIA Governmental Revenues by Source Last Five Fiscal Years Licenses, Charges Fiscal Fees and Fines and Inter- for Year Taxes Permits Forfeitures Governmental Services Other Total 1996 $20,047,563 $1,707,787 $383,196 $5,400,416 $1,406,690 $4,486,751 $33,432,403 1997 21,879,697 2,148,230 357,553 5,718,428 1,873,069 1,937,110 33,914,087 1998 20,766,945 3,005,069 297,058 4,937,789 2,141,917 4,457,560 35,606,338 1999 21,069,025 3,421,259 529,950 6,154,130 1,957,086 6,458,282 39,589,732 2000 22,234,855 3,508,221 579,556 4,724,267 2,409,302 6,767,371 40,223,572 Source: City The method of levy and collection of ad valorem property taxes is described under the caption "Property Taxes" below. The sales tax received by the City results from a tax imposed on retail sales and. consumption of personal property. The sales tax rate is established by the State Legislature. The current statewide tax rate is 5.75%. The City also collects a transient occupancy tax on all hotel, motel and lodging bills within the City, a utility users tax and various franchise fees. Table 13 below illustrates the City's expenditures for fiscal years 1995-96 through 1999-2000.

California trial and appellate courts have upheld the constitutionality of Article XIIIA's assessment rules in three significant cases. The United States Supreme Court in an appeal to one of these cases upheld the constitutionality of Article XIIIA's tax assessment system. The City cannot predict whether there will be any future challenges to California's present system of property tax assessment and cannot evaluate the ultimate effect on the City's receipt of property taxes should a future decision hold unconstitutional the method of assessing property. Article XIIIB Under Article XIIIB of the State Constitution, state and local government agencies are subject to an annual "appropriations limit" and prohibited from spending "appropriations subject to limitation" above that limit. "Appropriations subject to limitation" consist of tax revenues, certain state subventions, and certain other funds. This Article does not affect the appropriation of money exclusive of"appropriations subject to limitation," such as debt service on indebtedness existing or authorized by January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, and appropriations mandated by court. The provisions also exclude from limitation the appropriation of proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges, or other fees to the extent that such proceeds equal"the cost reasonably borne by such entity in providing the regulation,product,or service." In general terms,Article XIIIB provides that the appropriations limit will be based on certain 1978-79 expenditures and will be adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living, population, and transfer of the fmancial responsibility of providing services from one governmental unit to another. A recent amendment to Article XIIIB (Proposition 111) revised the method of calculating the annual adjustment to the appropriations limit. These revisions resulted in an increase in the City's appropriations limit for fiscal year 1992-93. Article XIIIB further provides that if an agency's revenues in any fiscal year and in the fiscal year immediately following it exceed the amount which is appropriated by such agency in compliance with Article XIIIB during that fiscal year and the fiscal year immediately following it, the excess must be returned during the next two subsequent fiscal years by revising tax rates or fee schedules: There are many remaining uncertainties and ambiguities in Article XIIIB which will require clarification by the State Legislature or the courts. Accordingly,the City cannot now determine the effect that future legislation or court actions regarding Article XIIIB may have upon its operations and financial obligations. • 27 DOCSOC\802907v4\24217.0001 • Article XIIIC and Article XIIID On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, the so called"Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies, including municipalities, to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Among other things, Article XIIIC establishes that every tax is either a"general tax" (imposed for general governmental purposes)or a"special tax"(imposed for specific purposes); and prohibits any local agency from imposing, extending or increasing any special tax beyond its maximum authorized rate without a two-thirds vote. Article XIIIC also provides that no tax may be assessed on property other than ad valorem property taxes imposed in accordance with Articles XIII and XIIIA of the California Constitution and special taxes approved by a two-thirds vote under Article XIIIA, Section 4. Article XIIIC also provides that the initiative power shall not be limited in matters of reducing or repealing local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. The State Constitution and the laws of the State impose a mandatory, statutory duty on the County Treasurer-Tax Collector to levy a property tax sufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds coming due in each year. The City believes that the initiative power cannot be used to reduce or repeal the authority and obligation to levy such taxes which are pledged as security for payment of the Bonds or to otherwise interfere with performance of the mandatory, statutory duty of the City with respect to such taxes which are pledged as security for payment of the Bonds. Article XIIID deals with assessments and property-related fees and charges. Article XIIID deals with assessments and property-related fees and charges. Article XIIID explicitly provides that nothing in Article XIIIC or XIIID shall be construed to affect existing laws relating to the imposition of fees or charges as a condition of property development; however it is not clear whether the initiative power is therefore. unavailable to repeal or reduce developer and mitigation fees imposed by the City. No developer fees imposed by the City are pledged or expected to be used to pay the Bonds. The interpretation and application of Articles XIII C and XIIID will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of the matters discussed above,and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such determination. Unitary Property Some amount of property tax revenue of the City is derived from utility property which is considered part of a utility system with components located in many taxing jurisdictions ("unitary property"). Under the State Constitution, such property is assessed by the State Board of Equalization ("SBE") as part of a "going concern"rather than as individual pieces of real or personal property. State-assessed unitary and certain other property is allocated to the counties by SBE, taxed at special county-wide rates, and the tax revenues distributed to taxing jurisdictions (including the City) according to statutory formula generally based on the distribution of taxes in the prior year. Until fiscal year 2000-01, SBE assessment of investor-owned gas and electric companies, incumbent _ local exchange companies, AT&T Corp., and AT&T Communications of California, Inc.,will be subject to a court-approved agreement dated May 1, 1992 (the "Settlement Agreement"), among those companies,the SBE and all California counties. The Settlement Agreement arose, from litigation against the SBE in which the court held that the SBE's valuation approaches had overvalued AT&T's unitary property,and ordered AT&T's statewide assessed value to be reduced from approximately $1.75 billion to approximately $1.1 billion. The Settlement Agreement provides that its valuation method is not intended to be precedent for calculating fair market value of unitary property in years following its expiration. While the Settlement Agreement has been in effect, the California electric utility industry has been undergoing significant changes in its structure and in the way in which components of the industry are regulated. Sale of electric generation assets to largely unregulated,nonutility companies may affect how those 28 DOCSOC\802907v4\24217.0001 • • assets are assessed following the expiration of the Settlement Agreement, and which local agencies are to receive the property taxes. The City is unable to predict the impact of these changes on its utility property tax revenues, or whether legislation may be proposed or adopted in response to industry restructuring, or whether any future litigation may affect the State's methods of assessing utility property and the allocation of assessed value to local taxing agencies,including the City. See"CITY OF ARCADIA FINANCIAL DATA"herein. Proposition 62 On November 4, 1986, California voters approved Proposition 62, an initiative statute limiting the imposition of new or higher taxes by local agencies. The statute(a)requires new or higher general taxes to be approved by two-thirds of the local agency's governing body and a majority of its voters, and requires new or higher special taxes to be approved by two-thirds of both such local agency's governing body and such local agency's voters; (b)requires the inclusion of specific information in all local ordinances or resolutions proposing new or higher general or special taxes; and (c)penalizes local agencies that fail to comply with the foregoing. Most of the provisions of Proposition 62 were affirmed by the 1995 California Supreme Court decision in Santa Clara County Local Transportation Authority v. Guardino ("Guardino")which invalidated a special sales tax for transportation purposes because fewer than two-thirds of the voters voting on the measure had approved the tax. Although by its terms, Proposition 62 applies to municipalities, because the City does not receive any material amount of tax revenues from any tax levied in contradiction to Proposition 62, the City has not experienced nor does it expect to experience any substantive adverse fmancial impact as a result of the passage of this initiative or the Guardino decision. The requirements of Proposition 62 have generally been superseded by the enactment of Article XIIIC of the California Constitution(Proposition 218) in 1996. Proposition 218 An initiative measure entitled the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act" (the"Initiative")was approved by the voters of the State of California at the November 5, 1996 general election. The Initiative added Article XIIIC and Article XIIID to the California Constitution. According to the "Title and Summary" of the Initiative prepared by the California Attorney General,the Initiative limits"the authority of local governments to impose taxes and property-related assessments,fees and charges." The Initiative also adds a new Article XIIIC to the California Constitution which, among other things, states that "....the initiative power shall not be prohibited or otherwise limited in matters of reducing or repealing any local tax, assessment, fee or charge." The Bonds are secured from the proceeds of ad valorem taxes which the City is empowered and are obligated to levy, without limitation as to rate or amount, upon all property subject to taxation by the City, except certain personal property which is taxable at limited rates. The Initiative's affect on the obligation of the City to levy ad valorem taxes to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds is unclear since a literal reading of such provision could be interpreted to allow the voters within the City to reduce or repeal the ad valorem tax securing the Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing,Bond Counsel is of the opinion that such interpretation would be unreasonable and that a court would hold that the initiative power could not be applied to effect a.repeal or reduction of the ad valorem taxes if the result thereof would be to impair the security of the Bonds. Proposition 111-Revisions to Article XIIIB. On June 5, 1990, the voters approved "Traffic Congestion Relief and Spending Limitation Act of 1990" hereafter "Proposition 111," which modified the constitution to alter the spending limit. Proposition 111 took effect on July 1, 1990. The most significant provisions of Proposition 111 are summarized below: 29 DOCSOC\802907v4\24217.0001 1. Annual Adjustments. The annual adjustments to the spending limit have been liberalized to be more closely linked to the rate of economic growth. Instead of being tied to the Consumer Price Index,the"change in the cost of living"is measured by the change in State per capita personal income. That definition of"change in population"specifies that a portion of the State's spending limit has been adjusted to reflect changes in school attendance. 2. Treatment of Excess Tax Revenues. "Excess"tax revenues are determined based on a two-year cycle,so that the State can avoid having to return to taxpayers excess tax revenues in one year if its appropriations in the next fiscal year were under its limit. 3. Exclusion from Spending Limit. Two new exceptions have been added to the calculation of appropriations which are subject to the limit. First,there are excluded all appropriations for"qualified capital outlay projects"as defined by the Legislature. Second,there are excluded any increases in gasoline taxes above their current nine cents per gallon level,sales and use taxes on such increment in gasoline taxes and increases in receipts from vehicle weight fees above the levels in effect in January 1, 1990. These latter provisions were needed to make effective the transportation funding package approved by the State Legislature and the Governor,which counts on raising over $15 billion in additional taxes over the next ten years to fund transportation programs. 4. Recalculation of Appropriations Limit. The Appropriations Limit for each unit of government,including the State,is to be recalculated beginning in the 1990-91 fiscal year. It will be based on the actual limit for the 1986-1987 fiscal year, adjusted forward to 1990-91 as if Proposition 111 had been in effect. Proposition 187 • On November 8, 1994, the voters in California approved Proposition I$7, an initiative statute ("Proposition 187"). Proposition 187 specifically prohibits funding by the State of social service, health care services and public school education for the benefit of any person not verified as either a United States citizen or a person legally admitted to the United States. The State Legislative Analyst estimates that verification costs could be in the tens of millions of dollars on a statewide level (including verification costs incurred by other local governments)with first-year costs potentially in excess of$100 million. Opponents of Proposition 187 filed at least.eight lawsuits (which were subsequently consolidated) in federal district court challenging the constitutionality and validity of the measure. On March 18,.1998, a United States District Court judge entered a final judgment in the case, holding key portions of the measure unconstitutional and permanently enjoining the State from implementing those sections which would have required law enforcement, teachers and social service,and health care workers to verify a person's immigration status and subsequently report illegal immigrants to authorities and deny them social service, health care and education benefits. An appeal by State Attorney General Dan Lungren was filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 25, 1998. Governor Davis invoked the Ninth Circuit's mediation system and on July 29, 1999, a settlement on Proposition 187 was announced. Such settlement was subsequently approved by the appellate court on September 13, 1999. The mediated settlement,which essentially nullifies the majority of Proposition 187,will enforce the sole surviving provision of Proposition 187 that was upheld by the federal District Court, namely prohibiting the manufacture and use of false documents to conceal illegal immigration status. Future Initiatives Article XIIIA, Article XIIIB and Proposition 218 were each adopted as measure that qualified for the ballot pursuant to California's initiative process. From time to time other initiative measures could be adopted, 30 DOCSOC\802907v4\24217.0001 further affecting City revenues or the City's ability to expend revenues. The nature and impact of these measures cannot be anticipated by the City. CONCLUDING INFORMATION Tax Exemption In the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson&Rauth, a Professional Corporation,Bond Counsel,under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, Bond Counsel notes that, with respect to corporations, interest on the Bonds may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income which may affect such corporation's alternative minimum tax liability. In the further opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is exempt from California personal income tax. Bond Counsel opinions are based on an analysis of existing statutes, regulations,rulings and judicial decisions. Such opinions may be affected by actions taken(or not taken)or events occurring(or not occurring) after the date hereof. Bond Counsel has not undertaken to determine, or to inform any person, whether any such actions or events are taken or do occur. The Resolution and the Tax Certificate relating to the Bonds permit certain actions to be taken or to be omitted if a favorable opinion of Bond Counsel is provided with respect thereto. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Bond if any such action is taken or omitted based • upon the advice of counsel other than Stradling Yocca Carlson&Rauth. Additionally, Bond Counsel's options are based upon certain representations made by the City, and others, and are subject to the condition that the City comply with certain covenants and the requirements of the Internal-Revenue-Code-of 1986;as amended,that must-be-satisfied-subsequent to-the issuance--of-the-Bonds-to- assure that interest on the Bonds will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with such requirements possible could cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. The City has covenanted to comply with all such requirements. Although Bond Counsel has rendered an opinion that interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, as-provided above, the ownership of the Bonds and the accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds may otherwise affect the tax liability of certain persons. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such tax consequences. Accordingly, all potential purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors before purchasing any of the Bonds with respect to collateral tax consequences relating to the Bonds. Should the interest on the Bonds become includable in gross income for federal income tax,purposes, the Bonds are not subject to early redemption as a result of such occurrence and will remain outstanding until maturity or until otherwise redeemed in accordance with the Resolution.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance thereon,we are of the following opinions: 1. The proceedings of the City relating to the issuance of the Bonds have been taken in accordance with the Constitution, laws of the State of California, including the Act, and the Resolution. 2. The Resolution has been duly adopted by the City Council of the City. The Bonds constitute the valid and binding general obligations of the City payable, as to both principal and interest, from revenues of the City and, to the extent that principal and interest on the Bonds are not payable therefrom, ad valorem taxes, which the City has the power to levy and is obligated by the Resolution to levy without limit as to rate or amount upon the property within the City subject to taxation by the City(except certain personal property which is taxable at limited rates). 3. Under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, it should be noted that, with respect to corporations, such interest may be included as an adjustment in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income,which may affect the alternative minimum tax liability of corporations. 4.

The opinions expressed herein are based upon our analysis and interpretation of existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions and cover certain matters not directly addressed by such authorities.

DOCSOC\802907v4\24217.0001 Effective Buying Income "Effective Buying Income" is defined as personal income less personal tax and nontax_payments, a number often referred to as"disposable"or"after-tax"income. Personal income is the aggregate of wages and salaries,other than labor-related income(such as employer contributions to private pension funds), proprietor's income, rental income (which includes imputed rental income of owner-occupants of non-farm dwellings), dividends paid by corporations, interest income from all sources and transfer payments (such as pensions and welfare assistance). Deducted from this total are personal taxes (federal, state and local, nontax payments, fines, fees, penalties, etc.) and personal contributions to social insurance. According to U.S. government definitions;the resultant figure is commonly known as"disposable personal income."

At their November 21, 2000 meeting, the City Council adopted the South Arcadia Commercial District Survey Area to be studied to determine the feasibility of amending the Central Redevelopment Project to add territory. Pursuant to the Council's direction, . Keyser Marston & Associates was retained as the Agency's consultant and has prepared a Preliminary Plan ("Plan"), which includes the approved South Arcadia Commercial District Survey Area ("Survey Area") and Legal Description, for Amendment No. 5 to the existing Central Redevelopment Project. As required by Section 33322 of the California Community Redevelopment Law, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved the Preliminary Plan and Legal description on December 12, 2000 and directed the submittal of the Plan to the Agency for approval and subsequent transmittal to LA County Taxing Officials, State Board of Equalization, and other taxing.agencies. The Agency approved the Plan on December 19, 2000, and directed staff to transmit the Plan-to LA County and other taxing agencies. After transmitting the Plan to the various taxing agencies, the Los Angeles County Assessor's Office informed staff of a technical matter in the preparation of the approved South Arcadia Commercial District Survey Area map. In our attempt to exclude all residential zones and uses, staff had split the ownership of seven (7) parcels on the north side of Live Oak Avenue between Greenfield Avenue and Fourth Avenue (see Attachment 2). These seven (7) parcels have two zoning LASER !M AGED T Mayor and City Council April 3, 2001 Page 2 of 2 designations, General Commercial.(C-2) and Parking Multi-Family (PR-3). The current South Arcadia Survey Area, as approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, splits the parcels along the zoning line, thereby excluding the PR-3 portion from the amendment area. According to the Assessor's Office, because of this division, the seven (7) affected property owners would receive two tax bills splitting their property tax charges proportionally. However, they would be billed twice for their property assessments. In other words, the overall property tax bill could increase. It was not staff's intention to create a hardship for the property owners. Therefore, the Agency's Consultant, RKA Civil Engineers, revised the approved South Arcadia Commercial District Survey Area (Attachment 3) to include the entire ownership for each of the seven (7) affected parcels. Staff is therefore recommending that the Survey Area line be moved slightly to the north to include the seven (7) PR-3 zoned parcels. This is set forth in the attached City Council Resolution 6216 (Attachment 4). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Adoption of this resolution amending the survey area does not require environmental review. An Environmental Impact Report is being prepared for the proposed South Arcadia Commercial Area Project (Amendment No. 5 to the Central Redevelopment - - Project Area).

ARA-192, A RESOLUTION OF THE ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO RECEIVE THE PRELIMINARY REPORT, THE DRAFT REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (AMENDMENT NO. FIVE), AND THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT; AUTHORIZE THE CIRCULATION OF THE DRAFT REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (AMENDMENT NO. FIVE) AND THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE, THE PUBLIC, AND CITY COUNCIL, AND TO APPROVE THE PRELIMINARY REPORT AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO TRANSMIT IT TO THE AFFECTED TAXING AGENCIES, THE COUNTY TAXING. OFFICIALS, AND THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION SUMMARY . On August 1, 2000, the Agency authorized staff to proceed with phase 2 of the plan adoption process to prepare a formal amendment to the Central (Downtown) Redevelopment Project Area to add most of the South Arcadia business district into the redevelopment area (Amendment No. 5). The Agency's consultant, Keyser Marston Associates Inc. (KMA), has prepared with staff assistance, the final Preliminary Report (Attachment 1) and the draft Redevelopment Plan (Attachment 2). KMA's sub- consultant, Terry A. Hayes Associates, (TAHA), has prepared the draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) of the proposed amendment (Attachment 3). Staff recommends the Agency adopt Resolution ARA-192, A Resolution of the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency to receive the Preliminary Report, the draft Redevelopment Plan (Amendment No. Five), and the draft Environmental Impact Report, and authorize •the circulation of the draft Redevelopment Plan (Amendment No. Five) and the Draft Chairman and Members, Arcadia Redevelopment AgOcy April 3, 2001 Page 2 • Environmental Impact Report to the Planning Commission, Project Area Committee, the public, and City Council, and to approve the Preliminary Report and authorize staff to transmit it to the taxing agencies, County taxing officials, and State Board of Equalization (Attachment 4). . DISCUSSION The Agency Board has directed staff to prepare the documentation for a proposed amendment to the existing Central Redevelopment Plan, to add most of the South Arcadia Business District. Based upon the advice of the consultant, KMA, the proposed, Project Area Amendment does not include the new Ralph's, Albertson's, or Save-On stores since clearly these are not blighted. Staff has also endeavored to include only commercial or industrial properties. There are, however, approximately three (3) non- conforming residential dwellings in the proposed amendment area. (The Agency Counsel has advised staff that this small number of residential units will not require the creation of a Project Area Committee [PAC] for the area.) The unzoned City property (former Mounted Police site) at Live Oak and the Santa Anita Wash is also included. KMA, pursuant to the Redevelopment Law (Health & Safety Code Section 33000 et seq.), has prepared a detailed analysis of the proposed amendment area, which demonstrates that blight exists. Over 45% of the buildings suffer from detrimental conditions; more than 50% of the buildings are of inadequate size (i.e., less than 5,000 sq. ft.) based upon modern retail and commercial standards; 21% have inadequate parking; over 74% were on lots less than 200 feet in depth, an inadequate depth for economic efficiency; assessed property values in the,amendment area over the last 4 years rose only 7.9% vs. a 17.9% in the City as a whole and a 16.3% rise in L.A. County. Taxable sales decreased over 20% while sales in the City increased over 11% over the last 3 years, and there are numerous public infrastructure needs. KMA's report pro_poses specific goals and objectives to be met. These are identical to those adopted by the Agency in the original Plan or added in the 1980's, and re-adopted as part of the 5-year Implementation Plan by ARA Resolution 183 in December 1999. Several programs, projects and activities similar to those in the current Implementation Plan and the Agency's annual work program have been set forth to address the blight along with a financing' plan to pay for these improvements. Essentially, the majority of the revenues to fund the programs and projects will come from the existing project area and the proposed bond issue. The substance of the Agency's redevelopment effort in South. Arcadia is contained in this Preliminary,Report. The draft Redevelopment Plan (Attachment 2) is essentially the same as the original 1974 Plan, with certain legally required sections included, i.e., time limits on the life.of the amendment (30 years), list of specific capital projects in the amendment area, 12 year limit on the power of eminent domain (condemnation), etc. However, staff, KMA and the Agency attorney have updated certain sections of the existing plan text. Basically, these revisions delete more detailed statements and are replaced with text that says the Agency's land uses, development and design policies, etc., are to be T- Chairman and Members, Arcadia Redevelopment Agency April 3, 2001 Page 3 consistent with the City General Plan and Zoning. Staff has used a "blackline" version in Attachment 2 to show the existing adopted text and the proposed changes. The proposed 76-acre amendment has been,environmentally assessed by TAHA, and a draft Environmental Impact Report has been prepared. This report analyzes the possible impact of three basic development scenarios. In all projections the full build- out capacity is estimated at 939,000 sq. ft.; existing build-out is 797,000 sq. ft., and therefore the remaining build-out capacity is estimated to be,approximately.142,000 sq. ft. (Each scenario assumes there will be some displacement of existing buildings and their subsequent replacement.) Net New • Development No Project 57,000 sq. ft.

Commercial _ 167,000 sq. ft. ) Alternative 2 - , All Commercial - 302,000 142,000 sq. ft. The Draft Environmental Impact Report' (Attachment 3 - Due to its length, the draft Environmental Impact Report is available for review in the Development Services Department) discusses the impacts created by the above scenarios and addresses the proposed programs, projects and activities to eliminate or mitigate the blighting influences in the South Arcadia area. As part of the review process and as required by CEQA, the. Agency notified numerous State, County and local agencies of the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for this proposed project. Their comments and concerns are addressed in the Draft Environmental Impact Report. KMA has prepared Resolution 192 (Attachment 4) and the Agency Attorney has approved it. The resolution authorizes staff to circulate the draft Redevelopment Plan • (Amendment No. 5) and the draft EIR to the public, the Project Area Committee (PAC), the Planning Commission, and City Council. It also approves the Preliminary Report and directs staff to submit it to the taxing agencies, County taxing officials, and State Board of Equalization for their review. Although not required, staff proposes to inform the property owners and businesses in South Arcadia, as well as the Monrovia/Arcadia/Duarte Town Council and other community organizations serving the South Arcadia business community. (e.g., Chamber of Commerce) of the availability of these documents, and schedule a meeting Chairman and Members, Arcadia Redevelopment Agency April 3, 2001 Page 4 in the South Arcadia area if possible to describe the proposed amendment and respond to questions. Certain other procedural steps are necessary prior to final submittal to the Agency and City Council.- The Planning Commission will review the Preliminary Plan, draft Redevelopment Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report and will be requested to certify that the Redevelopment Plan conforms to the General Plan. The PAC will also meet to review the documents and forward their recommendation on the Amendment to the Agency Board. The "final" Redevelopment Plan and "final" EIR as well as the.recommendations, of the PAC, Planning Commission; and public will be presented to the Agency Board and City Council in a noticed Public Hearing on July 3, 2001. As required by law, first class mail notices of this public hearing will be sent to all property owners, business/residential tenants, and community organizations both in the existing project area and in the proposed amendment area and certified mail notice will be given to all taxing agencies. The Public Hearings will also be noticed in the Arcadia Weekly. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The impacts of the proposed South Arcadia amendment are described in detail in the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Attachment 3). Further public review as set forth above is required prior to Agency and City Council consideration of the "final" - Environmental Impact Report at the Public Hearing. FINANCIAL IMPACT KMA estimates that the Project Area will generate property tax revenue ranging from approximately $65,000, (including 20% housing set aside) in 2002-03 to $458,000 in 2031 (Total - $8,257,000). The amendment tax increment ceiling is set at $60 million so that the Agency will have sufficient capacity to issue bonds. However,. the very low tax increment generated in the early years of the amendment is why funds from the existing Central Redevelopment project area, and from the proposed Agency bond issue, would be used to implement.redevelopment. The estimated expenditures over the life of the project area are almost $6 million for public improvements, with an additional unknown but substantial amount for property acquisition/relocation/clearance. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency adopt Resolution ARA- 192, A Resolution of the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency to receive the I_ Chairman and Members, Arcadia.Redevelopment Agency April 3, 2001 Page 5 Preliminary Report, the Draft Amended and Restated Redevelopment Plan (Amendment No. Five), and the draft Environmental Impact Report; authorize the circulation of the draft Redevelopment Plan (Amendment No. Five) and the draft Environmental Impact Report to the ..Planning Commission, Project Area Committee, the public, and City Council, and to approve the Preliminary Report and authorize staff to transmit it to the affected taxing agencies, the County taxing officials, and the State Board of Equalization.

The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 1 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 B. BACKGROUND Despite its relative affluence and suburban setting, selected areas of Arcadia's business and commercial districts have been in decline. These areas continue to be impacted by demographic, economic and commercial development patterns that influence the business and economic climate throughout the United States. As with other cities, by the 1970s, Arcadia's downtown was no longer competitive, with retailers and other businesses relocating to the newer shopping centers being built away from the downtown. These new shopping centers, constructed with supermarkets or other major anchor(s), ample parking and layouts oriented toward new retailing patterns, were difficult for the older "main street" retail stores to compete with. In 1973, the Agency adopted the Central Redevelopment Project in order to alleviate the blighting conditions that resulted from the decline of the downtown area. Through aggressive and on-going revitalization efforts, the Agency and the City have been able to attract new businesses, help existing businesses thrive, and alleviate much of the blighting conditions in the Central Redevelopment Project Area. Other commercial areas of the City that have larger parcels sizes, large traffic volumes, and/or convenient freeway access, have been able to adapt to changing retail and business patterns. Unfortunately, other commercial areas, such as the Amendment Area, have not been as successful due to smaller lot sizes, difficulty in attracting major tenants, and weaker locations from the point of view of major retailers. The Agency plans to apply the strategies and programs that have been successfully used in the existing Project Area to revitalize the Amendment Area, which incorporates most of the South Arcadia Business District. The South Arcadia Business District originally developed along with the surrounding neighborhoods of modest homes that were developed primarily between 1940 and 1960. Designed to meet suburban retailing requirements during the time, these properties have gradually become more obsolete and.less desirable since the 1960s. Revitalization efforts are hampered by the location of the area (away from major freeways and other main arterial streets) and the fact that the area is at the extreme southern boundary of the City. In addition, the suburban development pattern in the area surrounding the Amendment Area is disrupted by the nearby industrial uses and gravel pits to the east. As a result, the area has been less attractive to anchor tenants that are able to draw shoppers and support smaller retail and commercial businesses. Due to the relatively small lot sizes and limited lot depths prevalent in the Amendment Area, it has been difficult to attract anchor tenants and to retain and attract smaller tenants that can provide the variety of goods and services needed in the less competitive environment of the South Arcadia Business District.

REASONS FOR SELECTION OF THE AMENDMENT AREA A. THE SOUTH ARCADIA BUSINESS DISTRICT The South Arcadia Business District was once a vital shopping area for the surrounding neighborhoods. Over time and due to changes in retailing, the area has become less competitive with other neighborhood shopping centers and less viable. The area also lacks a visible physical or architecturally cohesive theme. Due to the mix of architectural styles, building configurations, and the many vacancies, the area does not present an attractive shopping and business environment. The small lots sizes make reuse of properties in the area difficult. Despite the development of two new supermarkets (outside of but adjacent to the Amendment Area), the Amendment Area is continuing to decline as evidenced by stagnant property values and declining retail sales described in Section III.E of this Report. Despite sustained efforts over the past several years on the part of property owners to revitalize the area, conditions remain stagnant.- . B. DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SURROUNDING AREA The City of Arcadia is considered a largely affluent suburban community. However, the Amendment Area, which serves the southern portion of the City and portions of adjacent cities and unincorporated Los Angeles County, serves local neighborhoods which have much more modest incomes and larger household sizes. - In order to assess the character of the surrounding community, demographic _ data for a two-mile ring around the key intersection in the Amendment Area and for the City of Arcadia were analyzed and compared. The demographics of the community surrounding the Amendment Area differ from those for the City of Arcadia in many key ways. As illustrated in the following tables and charts, the surrounding neighborhoods have more persons per household and are less affluent than the City. In addition, the median home value is considerably lower than that for the City. • (REMAINDER OF PAGE LEFT BLANK) The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

This area, located along the southern border of the City of Arcadia, serves the residents and businesses of the southern portion of the City as well as residents and businesses in portions of the neighboring cities of Temple City, El Monte, and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County. Land uses in the Amendment • Area are predominantly commercial, with a scattering of industrial uses throughout the area.

AGENCY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Certain goals and objectives were identified in connection with the redevelopment of the existing Project Area, most of which were intended to alleviate blighting conditions and improve the community and quality of life for residents in the Downtown area. The Redevelopment Plan amendment will apply these goals and objectives to the Amendment Area. The goals and objectives,' which were adopted by the Agency in 1973 and 1984, will become the goals and objectives for the amended Project Area, including the Amendment Area, and are as follows: —Goals and-Objectives adopted-In-1973: —. _- _. • Create an aesthetic, healthful and functional environment. • Arrest and eliminate further deterioration. • Promote the productive and efficient use of land and improve the tax • base. • Provide adequate off-street parking for shoppers, employers and businesses within the Project Area. • Encourage, through Owner Participation Agreements, the construction by others of development consistent with the Redevelopment Plan. Specific references to the Downtown area have been omitted. The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 6 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 • Provide necessary public facilities, beautification and off-site improvements consistent with the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. • Assist property owners and developers in an effort to redevelop certain portions of the Project Area to provide land uses in harmony with each other, and with other portions of the City and the Redevelopment Plan. • Maintain existing buildings and improvements within the Project Area which are consistent with the Redevelopment Plan. • Promote affordable housing programs within the Project Area. Goals and Objectives adopted in 1984: • Bring to the City Redevelopment Project Area new, quality intensive • development that is attractive and contributes to the quality of life and economic growth of Arcadia. • Encourage the revitalization of the City's underutilized and economically stagnant areas. • Cooperate with business, educational, civic, and service organizations to improve the quality of life and economic opportunity for all in Arcadia. • Increase sales and other direct and indirect tax receipts to the City. • Increase tax increment and other revenues to the Agency. • Provide increased employment opportunities for Arcadia residents. • Improve the image of Arcadia as a place to live, shop and work. Redevelopment of the Amendment Area will attain the purposes of the California Community Redevelopment Law through: 1. The elimination of areas experiencing economic dislocation and disuse; 2. The re-planning, redesign and/or redevelopment of areas that are stagnant or improperly utilized, which would not be accomplished by private enterprise acting alone without public participation and assistance; 3. The protection and promotion of sound development and redevelopment of blighted areas and the general welfare of the citizens of Arcadia by remedying such injurious conditions through the employment of appropriate means, and; 4. The installation of new, or the replacement of existing public improvements, facilities, and utilities in areas that are currently inadequately served with regard to such improvements, facilities, and utilities.

EXISTING PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN THE AMENDMENT AREA A. BLIGHT DEFINITIONS In order for an area to be included in a redevelopment project, it must have at least one or a combination of physical blighting conditions, and one or a combination of economic blighting conditions. The combination of the conditions must be so prevalent and substantial that they cause a reduction or lack of proper utilization of an area to such an extent that it constitutes a serious physical and economic burden on the community that could not be alleviated without redevelopment. These blighting conditions are defined as follows: 1. Physical Blighting Characteristics a. Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work. Serious building code violations, dilapidation and deterioration, defective design or physical;construction, faulty or inadequate utilities, or similar factors can cause these conditions. b. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of buildings or lots. This condition can be caused by substandard design, inadequate building size given present standards and market conditions, lack of parking, or other similar factors. c. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the Project Area. d. The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership. 2. Economic Blighting Characteristics a. Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, -including but not necessarily limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes that require the use of agency authority.

Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, high turnover rates, abandoned buildings, or excessive vacant lots within an area developed for urban use.and served by utilities. _ c. A lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in neighborhoods, including grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other lending institutions. d. Residential overcrowding or an excess of bars, liquor stores, or businesses that cater exclusively to adults that has led to problems of public safety and welfare. e. A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to the public safety and welfare. B. SURVEY AND ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY • The discussion in the following sections of this Report regarding blighting conditions within the Amendment Area is based, in part, on a parcel-by-parcel field survey conducted by KMA in December 2000. The information gathered in the field survey has been supplemented by secondary data. The purpose of the field survey was to determine the location, prevalence, and type(s) of physical blighting characteristics impacting the Amendment Area. The parcel-by-parcel field survey consisted of evaluating the existing condition of the exterior portion of each primary structure in the Amendment Area, and the various building and site conditions that affect the usability and economic viability of each property. Buildings were rated as "sound", "deferred maintenance", "deteriorated" or "dilapidated." Buildings rated as sound were.well maintained; those rated as deferred maintenance needed cosmetic or moderate repairs; buildings rated as deteriorated needed extensive repairs or repairs to major components of the building; and those rated as dilapidated were in need of major rehabilitation. Parcels were rated as "sound", "deferred maintenance", or"deteriorated". Parcels rated as sound were well maintained and without any apparent major defects; those rated as deferred maintenance needed minor improvements such as clean-up, de-weeding or minor repairs to fencing; and those rated as deteriorated required extensive,improvements such as a major re-landscaping or repair of walkways or paved surfaces.

To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 9 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 N 1 1 KMA also evaluated secondary data sources including Los Angeles County assessor property information, taxable sales data, and property transaction data to assess economic conditions in the Amendment Area. C. GENERAL CONDITION OF BUILDINGS AND LOTS The Amendment Area was originally developed during the 1940s and 1950s, a period that coincided with the rapid development of the City. It was during this period that the South Arcadia business area developed as a neighborhood retail/commercial area to serve the surrounding residential neighborhoods. In order to assess the approximate ages of the buildings in the Amendment Area, data regarding year built was compiled from Metroscan property data and analyzed in ten-year increments. As shown in Table 3, over 50 percent of the buildings in the Amendment Area were constructed before 1960 and 71 percent were built before 1970. With a normal life expectancy of 35-40 years2, many of the buildings in the Amendment Area have exceeded their normal life expectancy. As discuss in Section III.D.1, the physical characteristics of the properties in the Amendment Area related to the age of development (small lot sizes and inadequate parking) impairs the ability of owners and investors to effectively reuse them to accommodate modern commercial uses.

The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 10 City of Arcadia PA0101003.A RC:D V B:g b d 10201.002.004/03/20101 A total of 92 buildings were evaluated as part of the field survey. Twenty-six percent (26%) of the buildings were found to be in less than sound condition, with the vast majority of these categorized as "deferred maintenance". A deteriorated industrial building was observed near the intersection of Live Oak Avenue and McCulloch Street, and a dilapidated commercial building was observed on the south side of Live Oak Avenue west of Welland Avenue. The location of the less than sound buildings is illustrated in Exhibit 2. As part of the field survey, data was collected on the condition of specific building elements, the condition of which affect the soundness, usability and appearance of the building. For each building element, the condition was noted and rated "good", "minor repair", "major repair", or"rehab unfeasible". The building elements rated were roofing materials, doors/windows, wall surfaces, entries/porches, signage, and storefronts. Where observable, major structural elements (foundations, walls and roofs)were also rated. Over 43 percent of the buildings were observed to have some faulty building condition. As illustrated in Exhibit 2, these conditions were found throughout the Amendment Area. In total, 41 buildings in the Amendment Area (or 45 percent)were found to suffer from detrimental conditions. The prevalence of these detrimental conditions, in combination with the other blighting conditions described in this Report, creates an overall negative image of the area and discourages reinvestment and upgrading of properties. D. PHYSICAL BLIGHTING CONDITIONS • 1. Factors That Prevent or Substantially Hinder the Economically Viable Use or Capacity of Buildings or Lots Factors that inhibit the usability of buildings or lots reduce their economic viability. These factors may include building obsolescence, inadequate parking, inadequate loading facilities, lot shape and size, or other characteristics that are not easily solved without major demolition or remodeling, or acquisition of adjacent properties to allow reconfiguration of buildings and/or sites. The costs to cure these defects are often prohibitive, diminishing or eliminating the potential return to an owner or investor. As discussed in Section III.C, most of the properties in the Amendment Area were developed before 1960. Since that time, retailing patterns, commercial site and building configurations, and parking needs have changed considerably. Parcels sizes and configurations in the Amendment Area were well suited to the small size local retailer that The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

ARCADIA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY Prepared by: Keyser Marston Associates,Inc. I Filename: Detrimental Bldg Cond.ai;3/21/01;pc served residents whose primary mode of shopping was on foot or by the use of public transportation. Early neighborhood retailers provided limited or no parking facilities. Most operated street-oriented small stores that specialized in a narrow retail niche. As the demand for convenience, and the rise in two-car and two-career families emerged, the neighborhood shopping center with a major supermarket and plenty of parking became the modern retailing standard. Since many shoppers want to be able to accomplish multiple errands with one driving trip, ample and convenient parking has become critical to most retailers. Areas that have buildings developed on small lots in multiple ownership often have a difficult time competing effectively with modern retailing centers. a. Substandard Design Substandard design of buildings causes physical constraints on the effective use of_a property. Buildings that are poorly laid out, buildings that are inadequate in size for their current use, and shifting of uses from one category of land use to another, are all indications that the building design is substandard relative to current market demands. Within the Amendment Area, 51 buildings (or 55 percent)were found to have one or more of these conditions. These buildings are scattered throughout the area. All lacked sufficient size or are poorly configured for their use. The locations of these buildings are illustrated in Exhibit 3. (i) Buildings of Inadequate Size Based on current requirements for typical stand-alone retailers, 5,000 square feet is the minimal viable building size acceptable for most uses.3 Available building size data from Metroscan was analyzed for commercial buildings in he Amendment Area. Building square footage information was available for 85 of the 86 commercial buildings in the Amendment Area. The median square footage was 4,000 square feet. Forty-six (46) or 54 percent of the buildings were less than 5,000 square feet. Based upon this analysis, more than half of'the buildings in the Amendment Area are of inadequate size based upon 3 Source: Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 12 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 • modern commercial standards. The location of these inadequately sized buildings is illustrated in Exhibit 3. (ii) Poor Site Configuration It was noted during the field survey that many of the retail properties were configured to meet building orientation standards from the 1950s and 1960s. These include buildings that front directly onto the street with no front yard setbacks and very few side yard setbacks. Limited parking is provided at the rear of the building that conflicts with the loading and servicing activities. While corner parcels may have parking access from a side street, the lack of parking access from the street for mid-block parcels makes them undesirable to businesses that need plentiful and visible parking for customers. Although not necessarily the City's preferred urban design model, modern retailing standards require parking in the front of the buildings to allow easy access for customers to park. Servicing and loading is at the rear of the building. Review of field survey data and aerial photos revealed that the problem affects several buildings along the south side of Live Oak Boulevard. The • . location of these parcels is illustrated in Exhibit 4. b. Inadequate Parking Inadequate parking can have a significant impact on communities and neighborhoods. In commercial areas, inadequate parking makes it more difficult for businesses to remain competitive with - rivals located on larger or newer sites with plentiful parking. Within the Amendment Area, due to the relatively small size of many of the lots (discussed below) and the fact that many of the older properties in the Amendment Area were designed to meet earlier and less stringent parking needs, many of the lots lack sufficient parking spaces, have no off-street parking spaces, or suffer from poor parking layout and circulation due to the constraints caused by lot size and configuration.

Parcels identified as having poor accessibility were those that only had access via a alley. Parcels identified as having inadequate parking had parking that was not visible from the street or that appeared to have too few spaces for their location (i.e., customers double parked, etc.).. In total, 21 parcels (or 21 percent)were found to have inadequate parking. The location of these parcels is shown on Exhibit 5. c. Lots of Irregular Shape and Inadequate Size in Multiple Ownership Appropriate parcel size and dimension is necessary if land is to be effectively utilized. In order for property to have attractive reuse potential, it must be large enough to build a structure that not only meets building and zoning code standards, but must also accommodate current industry standards for building size, and building and lot configuration. Parcels must accommodate the building, required setbacks, parking and circulation. These requirements also apply to relatively large but'irregularly shaped parcels because a triangular or otherwise odd shape must also be able to accommodate building and land use requirements. Given the largely commercial nature of the Amendment Area and the fact that most of the properties are zoned for commercial us_es, the analysis of lot size and shape focused on the requirements for commercial uses. Criteria For Inadequate Parcel Size and Shape in Multiple Ownership In order to provide for building setbacks, parking and efficient site • circulation, the rule of thumb for building to site ratios is 3:1.4 The typical minimum size for a free-standing commercial building is 5,000 square feet. A 5,000 square foot building would require a site of 20,000 square feet or .46 acres. Specific types of retailers may have their own specific requirements. For example, a McDonalds restaurant requires a high land-to-building ratio of 7:1 or 21,800 square feet for a restaurant, parking, and drive-through operations including a 3,000 square foot building pad. 4 Shopping Center Development Handbook,3rd edition, 1999. The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates,'Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 14 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 - Using .46 acres as the minimum parcel size, actual parcels sizes were reviewed in the Amendment Area to determine how many parcels were at least the minimum size in area. For parcels determined to be less than .46 acres, the ownership of the parcel and adjacent parcels were reviewed. If an adjacent parcel was under the same ovmership and could therefore be combined to create a potential site in excess of .46 acres, the parcel was considered larger than .46 acres. Results indicated that a total of 54 parcels or 53 percent of all parcels were less than .46 acres in area. The location of these parcels is illustrated in Exhibit 6. In addition to small size, most of the parcels in the Amendment Area are not of sufficient depth to accommodate modern retail development that includes adequate parking and site amenities. The City of Arcadia requires between 4 and 10 vehicle spaces per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for most commercial and office uses. The rule of thumb for planning for parking is to allow 350 to 400 square feet per space (including aisles and minimal landscaping) per car. Assuming an average parcel width of 50 feet and a minimum building size of 5,000 square feet, most property owners and developers would require a site of approximately 200 to 250 feet in depth in order to accommodate the on-site parking required for neighborhood strip retail development, assuming depths of 80-120 feet for shop space.5 In order to assess the lot depths of parcels in the Amendment Area, lot depths were reviewed based upon dimensions illustrated on parcel maps.6 Public and quasi-publicly owned parcels were excluded from the analysis. The analysis was performed for a total of 90 of the 96 parcels that could be analyzed. Results are illustrated in Table 4. Of the 90 parcels, over 74 percent were less than 200 feet in depth. The average lot depth was 179 feet and the median lot depth was 159.5 feet. The parcels under .46 acres in area were analyzed using the same criteria. A total of 49 of the lots were identified, of which 46 or almost 94 percent were less than 200 feet in depth. The average lot depth was 148 feet and the median lot depth was 140 feet. These data further illustrate the small lot sizes and physical 6 ULI: Shopping Center Development Handbook, 1999. 6 For parcels of irregular depth,the average depth was estimated and used for analysis.

ECONOMIC BLIGHTING CONDITIONS 1: Depreciated or Stagnant Property Values and Impaired Investments Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investment discourage property owners from reinvesting in their properties due to the uncertainty of receiving an adequate return on their investment within a reasonable investment time horizon. Over time, a lack of reinvestment can accelerate the physical deterioration of an area and negatively affect the viability of an area's businesses. Rents also stagnate or decline, reinforcing the property owner's disincentive to invest. This lack of investment and weakening of an area's businesses further contributes to physical deterioration, creating a downward cycle of physical and economic decay that is unlikely to reverse itself. • 2. Stagnant Property Values Depreciated or stagnated property values can be indirectly observed • through the changes in assessed valuation over time. Changes (increases) in assessed value reflect sales of properties, which have appreciated or re-assessments triggered by improvements to, and therefore investments in, the property. In accordance with Proposition 13, annual increases in a property's assessed value may not exceed 2 percent unless improvements have been made or a change of ownership has taken place. Under such The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 16 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:D V B:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 • circumstances, a property's assessed value increases (or decreases)to the new market value or to the appraised value. Thus, annual increases in assessed valuation above 2 percent per year generally reflect some combination of the level of new improvements, the rate of market turnover, and higher property values. • While an examination of assessed values will not allow conclusions to be drawn as to the absolute value of all property in an area (given the Proposition 13 re-assessment limitation), such an examination does a"Ow • • property reinvestment trends to be identified. To the extent assessed value . growth is minimal or declining, conclusions can be drawn as to the lack of reinvestment in the area. Within the Amendment Area, trends in assessed value data were analyzed and compared to trends for the City of Arcadia and Los Angeles County over a four-year period. As illustrated in Table 5 and Figure 4, total assessed value for properties in the Amendment Area increased by 7.3 percent over the four-year period, vs. a 17.9 percent increase in value over the same period for the City of Arcadia, and a 16.3 percent increase for Los Angeles County. These increases result in an average annual increase of only 1.8 percent for the Amendment Area versus a 4.5 percent increase for the City as a whole, and a 4.1 percent increase for Los . Angeles County. These data suggest that assessed values in the City and Los Angeles County are increasing at a rate that is roughly double that for the Amendment Area.

This suggests that either there has been little to no investment (improvements) to properties in the Amendment Area, or the value increases that have occurred on some properties has been counterbalanced by a decline in value in other properties in the Amendment Area. In either case, assessed property values are stagnant relative to those in the City overall and the County. 3. Declining Sales Revenues The amount and growth of taxable sales is a major indicator of the economic health of a community's commercial (especially retail) sector. Declining taxable sales, in particular,,are indicative of declining sales, business closure, or a combination thereof. Taxable sales data was collected and analyzed for a three-year period from fiscal year 1997-98 through 1999-2000 for the Amendment Area and the City of Arcadia. The overall trend in sales was calculated for the three-year period for the Amendment Area and compared to that for the The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 18 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DV B:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 City. As shown in Table 6, taxable sales declined by over 20 percent in the Amendment Area, while taxable sales increased by over 11 percent • for the City during the same period. These data suggest that despite the opening of two supermarkets adjacent to the Amendment Area within the past three years, other businesses in the South Arcadia Business District (and thus the Amendment Area) are continuing to lose business.

A...:.............INADEQUATE--PUBLIC-IMPROVEMENTS-AND-UTILITIES _..._.... . I Private owners and developers can be inhibited in their efforts to upgrade or redevelop their property if the public facilities and utilities needed to serve the property are inadequate or non-existent. If, for example, traffic circulation is poor • or utility lines have insufficient capacity, public sector involvement is urgently needed to alleviate these inadequacies. Portions of the Amendment Area are characterized by the existence of inadequate public improvements and utilities. Along Live Oak Avenue and Las Tunas Drive in the Amendment Area, the sewer and water mainlines have exceeded their useful service life and are in need of replacement. Overhead utility lines (telephone and electrical) can be a deterrent to investment and reinvestment by causing an area to look cluttered and by creating a poor image, thus limiting development. However, the costs involved in relocating utility lines are substantial. If private owners are required to pay for undergrounding the lines before development, the feasibility of the development may be impaired. In the Amendment Area, overhead electrical lines are found along Live Oak Avenue. Repairs and improvements are also needed for the traffic signals and traffic median along Live Oak Avenue and Las Tunas Drive.

ANALYSIS OF URBANIZATION OF THE AMENDMENT AREA A-s-defined-in-Section3332M--ofthe-CRL to-qualify as a iedevelopmentproject or amendment area, the area must be both blighted and predominantly.urbanized. In the CRL, an area that is predominantly urbanized is one in which not less than 80 percent(80%) of the land: 1. Has been or is developed for urban uses; or 2. Is characterized by lots of irregular shape or inadequate size under multiple ownership; or . 3. Is an integral part of one or more areas developed for urban uses which area • surrounded or substantially surrounded by parcels that have been or are developed for urban uses. In order for a project or amendment area to be considered predominantly urbanized, it must meet at least one of the above three conditions. An analysis of the land uses and acreage of the Amendment Area demonstrates that it is predominantly urbanized under all three of the above criteria. All properties within the Amendment Area are an integral part of an area developed for urban uses. The Amendment Area is an integral part of, and is substantially surrounded by developed residential neighborhoods in Arcadia and the adjacent cities of Temple City, El Monte and unincorporated portions of Los Angeles'County. Section 33344.5(c) requires a Preliminary Report to provide a description of the Amendment Area that is sufficiently detailed for a determination as to whether the area is predominantly urbanized. The description must include, at a minimum, the following information: 1. The total number of acres within the project area; 2. The total number of areas that are characterized by parcels of irregular shape and inadequate size in multiple ownership;' 3. The total number of acres in agricultural use; 4. The total number of acres that is an integral part of an area that is developed for urban uses; Refer to Page 15,"Criteria for Inadequate Parcel Size and Shape in Multiple Ownership"for a more complete definition.

PROJECT AND PROGRAMS PROPOSED BY THE AGENCY AND HOW THE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS WILL IMPROVE OR ALLEVIATE BLIGHTING CONDITIONS .... .... ... . The__CRLrequires that_.a...preliminary report_inciudea description of the specific projects.-.._.. and programs-to be undertaken by an agency, anti-how such-projects-and-pro-grams will alleviate blight in the project area. This section describes the Agency's proposed program of redevelopment and it's relationship to blight alleviation in the Amendment Area. The redevelopment program presented herein is conceptual in nature. Due to the lengthy timeframe involved in implementing the Redevelopment Plan, the redevelopment program needs to be flexible and provide the capacity to respond to changes and private sector interest in the Amendment Area. Within the redevelopment program, the Agency will develop specific projects and activities as opportunities arise.' The Agency will also develop more specific program goals and projects for the first five , years of the project implementation as part of its Implementation Plan. A. ' REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS The redevelopment,program has been divided into five categories that include the following: Capital and Public Improvements; Commercial Façade Rehab, Business Retention/Attraction; Property Acquisition; and Housing. The Programs non- housing programs are designed to address the most significant blighting conditions in the Amendment Area. The housing program will be designed to effectively utilize the housing set-aside funds generated in the Amendment Area to increase the supply of affordable housing elsewhere in the City. As the most significant blighting conditions are diminished, the Agency believes that more private sector investment will occur in the Amendment Area, leading to further alleviation of blighting conditions. Therefore, the Agency's program of redevelopment will serve as a catalyst to the removal of blighting conditions. 1. Capital and Public Improvements • Anticipated capital and public improvements include, but are not limited to, the addition of street lights, replacement/upgrading of traffic signals, concrete street paving replacement, redesign and reconstruction of street The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 23 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 medians, undergrounding of electrical transmission lines, replacement of . aging water and sewer mains, and replacement of an aging water well. 2. Commercial Façade Rehab Program __.-......_.....__..................._...--...._.............._...._...._.._... _....._...._...._The Commercial Facade._Rehabilitation_P_rogr_am_.(CFRP)_is_an_existing_......,,.. .... __...... .... ...... Agency program that will become available to businesses in the Amendment Area. The CFRP is a loan program that makes funds available for property owners and local merchants to improve the exterior of their property or business location. The program includes four elements: reimbursement for architectural design services, sign replacement loan rebates, façade improvement loan rebates, and general property improvement loan rebates. A business or property owner may apply for one or more of these elements. The CFRP is intended to increase business in the Amendment Area and improve the physical appearance of private commercial properties. 3. Business Retention/Attraction and Incentive Programs The Business Retention/Attraction and Incentive Programs currently in place for the existing Project Area will become applicable to the Amendment Area. These programs allow the Agency to focus efforts on encouraging quality businesses to remain in the Project Area. Working in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and other City agencies and departments, on-going efforts will be made to attract businesses to the Amendment Area through marketing activities, business development and training programs aimed at business and merchants, and offering incentives to appropriate businesses. 4. Property Acquisition ;, The Agency proposes a selective property acquisition/land assembly program for the purpose of assembling parcels into site suitable for development, and to transfer property for private development. The Agency's efforts in assembling land would be applied in selective cases. The Agency could assist in the selective assembly of parcels of land through negotiated purchase or acquisition. The objective of the program would be the centered on the elimination of existing blighting conditions, such as parcels suffering from inadequate parking or that are too small for development. The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 24 City of Arcadia • PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 Property acquisition would likely take place in response to property owner or developer initiated efforts in which public participation is required to assemble property needed for the expansion or existing uses, or for the creation of a site capable of being developed for new uses. The Agency may choose to participate in the acquisition of property where an existing owner may desire to sell, or to acquire certain parcels for infrastructure or public purposes._. Te propertyacquisftion program wou inc u e, where appropriate, relocation assistance and other incidental costs associated with acquisition. 5. Housing Utilizing the 20 percent housing set-aside tax increment generated, the existing Housing Programs for the existing Project Area will be applied and expanded to the Amendment Area. Since the focus of the redevelopment projects and programs is to alleviate blighting conditions affecting the commercial uses in the Amendment Area, and the fact that the Amendment Area is predominantly commercial and has minimal residential uses, housing funds will be used both inside of and outside of the Amendment Area. The Agency's highest priorities, as described in the Implementation Plan for the existing Project Area, will be to provide 55 housing units to very- low, low, and moderate income seniors and to provide replacement housing for any units destroyed by the Agency. The Agency's next priority will be to help the City to meet its low- and moderate-income housing needs as outlined in the City's General Plana through a variety of programs, including: • Home Rehabilitation Loan Program • First Time Home Buyer Loan Program • Mortgage Assistance Program 8 The Housing Program component of the Original 1994 Plan stated that the Agency's first housing objective was to meet any replacement housing requirements. The Agency has not removed or destroyed any low-or moderate- income units as a result of a redevelopment project since January 1, 1996. However, it is possible that the Agency could be involved in a project,which will require the Agency to replace some units over the duration of the Plan. The Agency's second housing objective, if the first objective does not occur, is to provide housing assistance to 55 very low, low-, and moderate-income families over the duration of the Original Plan. The housing assistance to the 55 units is consistent with the approximate number of households displaced by Agency activity prior to December 1995. As part of this Plan,the Agency is helping a third housing objective,which is to help the City of Arcadia meet its low-and moderate-income housing needs as identified in the Arcadia General Plan adopted September 1996. Objectives two and three overlap—addressing one will in some measure achieve the other. The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

A. County Housing Authority B. HOW THE PROPOSED PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS WILL IMPROVE OR .._.___.._._.ALLEVIATE EXISTING CONDITIONS IN THE AMENDMENT AREA_... .__. . ........_.......... .......... . .. The Agency's proposed program of redevelopment is designed to alleviate the most prevalent conditions of blight, as discussed above, that are found in the Amendment Area. The Agency, acting alone, cannot eliminate all conditions of blight. However, the Agency intends to act as a catalyst to spur the private, sector and area residents and businesses to further assist in the revitalization of the Amendment Area. Figure 6 provides a matrix illustrating the relationship between the proposed programs and the blighting conditions in the Amendment Area. Depending upon the specific projects undertaken under the Capital and Public Improvements program, infrastructure related blighting conditions such as a deficient sewer and water mains, inadequate street lighting, and improvements to traffic signals, will be addressed. Each reflects a shortfall between current demand for public improvements and the level of service provided. As capital improvements are made, the shortfall or gap between adequate levels of service and then current levels will be reduced. Implementation of the Commercial Façade Rehabilitation Program will reduce the number of buildings suffering from deferred maintenance and detrimental building conditions. Façade and site improvements will make the Amendment'Area more attractive and desirable as a place to shop or do business. A more successful commercial area will naturally generate more employment opportunities, support property values, and increase sales tax revenues to the City. The Business Retention/Attraction and Incentive Programs will allow the Agency to support local businesses and attract new businesses to the Amendment Area using the variety of programs and incentives available. Since the number of residential buildings in the Amendment Area is limited, the housing programs to be implemented using the housing set-aside funds will primarily impact the surrounding community by supporting the City's goal of providing safe, decent and affordable housing to households of low and moderate incomes.

PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED METHOD OF FINANCING, ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY, AND REASONS FOR INCLUDING DIVISION OF TAXES PURSUANT TO SECTION 33670. Section 33344.5(c) of the California Redevelopment Law(CRL) provides that the Preliminary Report for the Amendment to add territory (the South Arcadia Amendment Area- to-the existing Central-Redevelopment'Project-the-Central-Project Area- contain a preliminary assessment of the proposed method of financing the Project as amended, including an assessment of economic feasibility and the reasons for including a provision for the division of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 of the CRL. Economic feasibility, for purposes of this analysis, is defined to be a comparative analysis of anticipated costs for implementation of the Amended Project and the resulting revenues expected to be generated. Economic feasibility is determined through a summarized feasibility cash flow analysis of the Project Fund for the Amended Project as summarized on Exhibit 8 (the Central Project Area and the South Arcadia Amendment Area will be collectively referred to as the"Amended Project" in the following discussion). A. a ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COSTS A determination of economic feasibility requires an identification of the potential costs associated with redevelopment of the Amended Project. Redevelopment could require significant participation from the Agency in activities to promote and achieve the goals and objectives of the Amended Plan and to address blighting conditions. The redevelopment activities assumed in this analysis are summarized on Exhibit 9 and are based upon the anticipated projects, programs or activities for both the Central Project and the South Arcadia Amendment, as preliminarily budgeted by the Agency. The redevelopment program described in this section outlines a set of activities to , be implemented by the Agency for the purpose of facilitating private reinvestment in the Amended Project and eliminating physical and economic blighting influences, and increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. The estimated costs of the proposed redevelopment programs over the life of the Amended Plan are as follows: The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

Central Project Housing Deferral Repayment For the period between 1985 through 1996 the Agency elected to defer the housing set aside requirement for the Central Project. As allowed under the CRL, this $4,045,715 cumulative deferral has become an indebtedness of the Central Project and will be repaid from available tax increment revenues commencing in 2014 when the effectiveness of the Central Project redevelopment plan terminates. 2. Central Project Debt Service The Agency will consider funding alternatives allowable under the CRL to finance the anticipated redevelopment programs discussed above, including, for purposes of this analysis, the.issuance of tax allocation bonds. The Agency may utilize tax increment revenues generated in the Amended Project to secure the debt service of tax allocation bonds to assist in the financing of anticipated project costs. The feasibility cash flow anticipates that the Agency will issue tax allocation bonds (taxable and tax exempt) in 2001 secured by tax increment from the Central Project.. The issuance of tax exempt bonds and the use of said proceeds are subject to certain federal tax restrictions. Net bond proceeds have been estimated to be $16,000,000. While the Agency may elect to incur additional bonded indebtedness in the future, for purposes of this analysis, no other future • bond issues are assumed in the Exhibit 8 projection. 3. Central Project City Loan Repayment The Agency annually makes principal and interest payments to the City totaling $400,000 per year to repay a loan advanced from the City Capital The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 29 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 Outlay fund. For FY 2000-01, the Exhibit 8 projection assumes that in addition to the$400,000 debt repayment, an additional one time payment of$400,000 is paid from development proceeds (as assumed in the • Agency's Two Year Operating Budget 2000-2002). Commencing in FY 2001-02, it is assumed that the full $4 million loan amount will be repaid from the 2001 tax allocation bond proceeds. 4. Affordable Housing Programs The Agency is annually required to deposit 20 percent of gross tax increment revenues generated by the Amended Project into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund for the purposes of increasing, improving and preserving the community's supply of low and moderate income housing. Specific housing projects, programs and activities have not been delineated in the Exhibit 8 projection, but assume that as housing set aside funds become available they are used by the Agency to fund such expenditures. To the extent that tax increment revenues continue to be allocated'to the Agency past the effective time limits imposed upon the respective redevelopment plans (in order to repay existing indebtedness), 20 percent of such allocation will continue to be deposited in the Housing Fund, as illustrated for the Central Project on Exhibit 8. 5. Departmental Operations The projected cost to administer the redevelopment program over the life • of the Amended Project is initially based an anticipated$600,000 operating budget for FY 2000-01). Subsequent year administrative costs are projected to increase by an assumed 2 percent cost of living factor until FY 2013-14 when the effectiveness of the Central Project redevelopment plan terminates. Commencing in FY 2014-15, upon termination of the effectiveness of the Central Project redevelopment plan, the operating budget is assumed to be reduced by 80 percent and annually increased thereafter by a 2 percent cost of living factor. The reduced operating budget is assumed to reflect the Agency's administration of affordable housing programs and ongoing projects, programs or activities of the South Arcadia Amendment Area. 6. Central Project Marketing Program It is assumed that the Agency's existing marketing program for the Central Project will continue through FY 2013-14 when the effectiveness of the The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The_Central Redevelopment Project Page 30 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 Central Project redevelopment plan terminates. Based upon the Agency's projected budget, it is assumed that the annual budget will be $200,000 per year through FY 2005-06, after which the annual budget will be $50,000 per year until termination of the Central Project Plan. The marketing program currently consists of the Agency's commercial facade rehabilitation program, business attraction and retention efforts and various marketing_campaigns_.... . ...::.. .... _.... .._ _ ._.__... ......_ . .. . ___. ....... . ..... ....... ._. . .. 7. Central Project Identified Projects, Programs or Activities As summarized on Exhibit 9, the assumed projects, programs and activities of the Central Project represent anticipated funding of Agency contributions to police or fire facilities, loan repayment to the City Capital Outlay fund, various capital improvements throughout the Central Project, funding of the contemplated plan amendment and the potential funding of other Agency- assisted development projects as presently budgeted by the Agency. Of the total costs assumed, it is anticipated that much of the identified Central Project costs will be financed by the Agency's anticipated 2001 tax allocation bond. Any additional costs are assumed to be funded on a pay- as-you-go basis as tax increment funds become available, unless the Agency elects to incur future bonded indebtedness to finance any of the additional activities assumed. 8. South Arcadia Amendment Identified Projects, Programs or Activities As summarized on Exhibit 9, the assumed projects, programs and activities of the South Arcadia Amendment Area represent anticipated funding of various public improvements including water, sewer, traffic signalization, street medians, street lighting and utility undergrounding, as identified and budgeted by City and Agency staff. It is assumed that the identified South Arcadia Amendment costs will be funded on a pay-as- • you-go basis as tax increment funds become available, unless the Agency elects to incur future bonded indebtedness to finance any of the additional activities assumed. . 9. Future Discretionary Projects, Programs or Activities To the extent future tax increment revenues continue to be allocated to the Agency and exceed presently identified projects, programs or activities (as shown on Exhibit 9), the financial feasibility analysis assumes that the Agency will exercise its discretion in funding other future projects, The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 31 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 programs or activities of benefit to the Amended Project. For purposes of this projection, commencing FY 2009-10, 100 percent of available funds are assumed to be annually available for future discretionary projects, programs or activities over the effective life of the Central Project or the South Arcadia Amendment. B. AVAILABLE TO THE AGENCY .............. ........ The Amended Plan is prepared with the intent of providing the Agency with the necessary legal authority and flexibility to implement the revitalization of the Amended Project. The Amended Plan authorizes the Agency to finance the Amended Project with financial assistance from any or all of the following sources: (1) City of Arcadia; (2) State of California; (3)federal government; (4)tax increment funds in accordance with provisions of the existing CRL; (5)Agency bonds; (6) interest income; (7) loans from private financial institutions;. (8) lease or sale of Agency-owned property; (9)donations; (10) developer payments and (11) any other legally available public or private sources. Current provisions of the CRL provide authority to the Agency to create indebtedness, issue bonds, borrow funds or obtain advances in implementing and carrying out the specific intents of a redevelopment plan. The Agency is authorized to fund the principal and interest on the indebtedness, bond issues, borrowed funds or advances from tax increment revenue and any other funds available to the Agency. To the extent that it is able to do so, the City may also supply additional assistance through City loans or grants for various public facilities or other project costs. Potential revenue sources to fund project costs, as assumed in the Exhibit 8 financial feasibility cash flow, include, but are not limited to, the following: (1.)tax increment revenues; (2) housing set aside funds; (3) proceeds from the 2001 tax • allocation bond; (4) land sale or lease income; (5) interest earnings and (6) carryover of prior year ending fund balances. The estimated resources available to finance the proposed redevelopment programs are summarized as follows: The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc.

Tax Increment Revenues and Housing Set Aside • The projections of the incremental taxable values and resulting tax increment revenues for the Central Project and the South Arcadia Amendment are shown on Exhibits 10 and 11, respectively. Reported assessed values for the Central Project provide the basis for the Central • Project tax increment projection (as reported by the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller for FY 2000-01). The County Fiscal Officer's Report prepared by the Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller on March 6, 2001 provides the basis for the South Arcadia Amendment projection. Future tax increment revenues are based upon assumed increases in the annual incremental assessed valuation resulting from (1)Agency-identified new construction activities and (2)2 percent real property annual inflationary increase allowable under Article XII IA of the California Constitution.9 The net tax increment revenues projected for the Central Project over the remaining life of the Central Project redevelopment plan amounts to $38,163,000 and $9,541,000 would be deposited into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund over the same time period. Tax increment generated from the Central Project could be allocated to the Agency for up to an additional 10 years after the Central Project redevelopment plan termination date to repay indebtedness incurred from tax allocation bonds. The Exhibit 8 feasibility projection assumes that an additional allocation of$20,273,000 would be required to repay outstanding indebtedness for a total amount of$58,436,000. As a result of 9 The Central Project tax increment revenues estimated for FY 2000-01 through FY 2009-10 were prepared by HdL Coren and Cone on March 7, 2001 and have been incorporated on the Exhibit 10 projection. The Preliminary Report For Amendment No. 5 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. To The Central Redevelopment Project Page 33 City of Arcadia PA0101003.ARC:DVB:gbd 10201.002.004/03/20/01 the additional allocation, the Central Project will also deposit an additional $5,068,000 into the Housing Fund for a total Housing Fund deposit of $14,609,000.

Amendment._amounts to $6,058,0001u and--$2,1.99,000-would_be_deposited_... .......:.,. ......... . into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. Although not assumed in the Exhibit 8 projection, tax increment generated from the South Arcadia Amendment could be allocated to the Agency for up to an additional 15 years after the South Arcadia Amendment plan termination date to repay indebtedness. Since bonded indebtedness of the South Arcadia Amendment Area is not assumed in the Exhibit 8 projection, the additional allocations of tax increment dollars after the Amendment Area's Plan termination date are not shown. 2.. Net Bond Proceeds from 2001 Bonds The Agency may pledge tax increment revenues to secure the principal and interest payments of tax allocation bonds issued to finance anticipated program costs. The financial feasibility incorporates the Agency's anticipated issuance of 2001 tax allocation bonds which is expected to generate approximately$16 million in net bond proceeds. The 2001 bonds will be secured by tax increment revenues generated by the Central Project. 3. Land Sale and Land Lease Proceeds Based upon the Agency's Two Year Operating Budget for 2000-2002, land sale proceeds totaling $400,000 and land lease proceeds totaling $18,750 have been received by the Agency and have been passed on to the City as repayment for outstanding debt in FY 2000-01. These revenue sources are incorporated in the Exhibit 8 financial feasibility cash flow for reconciliation purposes only. Therefore, for purposes of this projection, no future land sale proceeds or lease income sources are identified for inclusion in Exhibit 8. 10 This amount is net after the statutory pass through payments required,under AB 1290. .

Bond reserve funds are assumed to maintain a-fund-balance egwval—to outstanding debt service. Interest earnings are based upon an assumed 5 percent rate and are applied to the balances available in the respective funds. 5. ,Beginning Cash Balance For FY 2000-01, a beginning cash balance of$2.4 million has been incorporated in the Exhibit 8 projection, based upon information provided in the Agency's Two Year Operating Budget for 2000-2002. Subsequent year beginning balances shown on Exhibit 8 are based upon projected ending cash balances from the preceding fiscal year of the projection. C. , PROPOSED FINANCING METHOD, ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY,AND REASONS FOR INCLUDING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING The anticipated costs to implement a program of revitalization in the Amended Project will require significant participation from the Agency as it implements activities which promote and achieve the stated goals and objectives of the Amended Plan. Economic feasibility of the Amended Plan has been determined based upon a comparative cash flow analysis of the.anticipated costs for implementation of the proposed redevelopment program to the resulting projected resources expected to be generated over the life of the Amended Project. The financial feasibility cash flow summarized on Exhibit 8'was,created to - represent one scenario of economic feasibility. At the discretion of the Agency, other funding sources discussed above may also represent viable funding alternatives for economic feasibility of the Amended Plan. Although the Agency may consider other funding sources permitted in the Amended Plan, not all of the funding sources may be available or be feasible for the Agency to use in financing the anticipated costs and revenue shortfalls. In the event that neither the City nor • the private market acting alone could fully bear the costs associated with revitalization of the Amended Project, the implementation of a redevelopment program utilizing tax increment revenues must be considered as a viable financing tool.

The Arcadia Redevelopment Agency has proposed a fifth amendment to add territory located in the South Arcadia Business District(the"Amendment Area"), to make minor technical changes, and to eliminate language or requirements that are addressed in the City's General Plan or zoning regulations and to conform to the Agency's current practices in the Project.Area. .As the Redevelopment Plan is an implementing tool of, and is in conformance with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinances, the specific language in the Plan regarding permitted uses, density, and other land use controls were redundant. The deletion of this language (as outlined below). does not affect existing city land use controls in the Project or the Agency's ability to redevelop the Project Area. The major changes to the Redevelopment Plan are described as follows: • • Section 200 (Project Area Boundaries)—The boundary description for the Original Project Area was moved to Exhibit B. • • iii • Section 400 (Uses Permitted in the Project Area)—Sections 402 through 406 have been edited to state that permitted land uses in each land use category will be as permitted by the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinances. • • Section 411 (New Construction)—Specific requirements for setbacks,parking structures, --- ----- par-ki-ng—faciaiaies and-oCfstree�-loading]lave been�eleted Allmewconshuctionss_....._ .... . .. required to comply with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinances. ■ Section 415 (Approxi.mate Number of Dwelling Units)—The estimated number of existing dwelling units in the Project Area and the maximum number of dwelling units allowed for the different residential densities has been deleted. The number of dwelling units permitted in the Project Area will be that allowed by the City's General Plan and • Zoning Ordinances. • Section 417 (Open Space, Landscaping, Light, Air and Privacy)—The language governing the amount of open space to be provided has been deleted.

Subsequent to the adoption of the 1973 Plan, the Agency adopted Use and Design.Requirements and Guidelines and a time limit on Agency reviews. These documents establish a procedure for evaluating proposed projects and permit applications. Said documents remain in effect and will be applicable to the Amendment Area until they are amended, deleted or. replaced. • • Section 900 (Neighborhood Impact Element)—This section has been deleted.
