Arcadia Redevelopment Agency -
FROM: . &Don Penman, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director
By: Pete Kinnahan, Economic Development Administrator
SUBJECT: JOINT PUBLIC HEARING: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO
ADOPT AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO THE CENTRAL REDEVELOPMENT
PLAN (SOUTH ARCADIA PROJECT AREA) AND APPROVE SEVERAL
RESOLUTIONS RELATED THERETO
SUMMARY '
The City Council and Redevelopment Agency have been working since August 1999
gathering information relevant to the possible addition of the economically and
physically depressed South Arcadia business district into the existing 256 acre Central '
Redevelopment Project Area. After review of the consultant's Phase 1 report on the
existence of blight and the economic feasibility of a redevelopment project area
amendment, the Agency/Council directed staff in August 2000 to proceed with Phase 2,
I the formal amendment process. The consultants, staff and the City Attorney/Agency
I Counsel have therefore, in accordance with State law. and Agency/City Guidelines,
prepared the legal boundaries of the proposed 75 acre amendment area (Attachment
1 1), prepared the Preliminary Plan, the Preliminary Report, the Report to the City Council
(Attachment 2a, 2b and 2c, respectively), and the actual Amendment No. 5 to the
Central Redevelopment Project (Attachment 4), and submitted these as required to the
Planning Commission, Project Area.Committee, Agency Board and/or the City Council.
I
Certain of these reports document the existence of both physical and economic blight.
Additional information on blight and its burden on the community is provided in
Attachment 3. Several capital improvement and business incentive projects, totaling $6
i million (not including acquisition projects) are proposed to eliminate or reduce this
blight. During the 30-year term of the amendment, the Agency anticipates the
development of 50 residential units and.257,000 sq. ft. of commercial uses in the
amendment area. Also during this 30 year period the area is expected to generate $11
million is gross revenues, $8.2 million net in property tax after all statutory pass-through
moneys are paid to taxing agencies. Of this $8.2 million, $2.2 million (20% of the gross •
tax increment) must be spent for low/moderate income housing, leaving approximately
$6 million for redevelopment programs and projects. The Agency has further provided
information on the proposed amendment to South ArcagiaRF.r qpt f usinesses

and the public on the proposed amendment and the environmental impacts of the,
• amendment. A.detailed chronology of the major actions in this process is shown in
Attachment 5.
The noticed public hearing tonight, of which all property owners and tenants in the
project and amendment areas were informed, is the culmination of the Phase 2 formal
amendment and CEQA process. The Final Environmental Impact Report is Attachment
6. Because there are three significant impacts — direct and cumulative air quality,
cumulative solid waste, and direct exposure to flood hazard — that cannot be mitigated
to a level of insignificance, the Agency and City Council are asked to consider and, if
they deem appropriate, adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(Attachment 7), and a Statement of Overriding Considerations as set forth in ARA
Resolution 198 (Attachment 8), and City Council Resolution 6232 (Attachment 11).
Staff recommends that the Agency and Council open the Joint Public Hearing and take
public testimony, and close the Public Hearing tonight. Because written objections have
been received, staff recommends that the item be continued to July 10, 2001, at a
continued regular meeting, and that at the July 10 meeting the Agency adopt Resolution
ARA No. 198 (Attachment 8), No. 199 (Attachment 9), and No. 200 (Attachment 10),
and the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6232 (Attachment 11), No. 6233 (Attachment
12), No. 6237 (Attachment 13) and introduce City Council Ordinance No. 2145
(Attachment 14) adopting Amendment No. 5 to the Central Redevelopment Plan.
DISCUSSION
For many years the business community, Chamber of Commerce officials, and
residents of South Arcadia and the unincorporated area south of Live Oak Avenue have
complained about the physical and economic decline of the South Arcadia commercial
district. Several blocks of commercial and industrial buildings were either empty, under-
utilized, or had unattractive uses.• Numerous sub areas had parking deficiencies,
uneconomic lot or building size, and incompatible uses in close proximity. As a result,
the Agency and City Council determined in August 1999 to proceed with a possible
redevelopment project in this area. Staff prepared a Request for Proposals for a
consultant to handle the complex information gathering, analytical, and legal
documentation process. A consultant was retained by the Agency in December 1999 to
prepare the Phase 1 report, an analysis of the existence of "blight" as set forth in the
California Redevelopment Law in the South Arcadia area and the economic feasibility of
establishing a redevelopment project or project amendment there.
At a Study Session in August 2000, the consultant's report set forth the existence of
physical and economic blight in the South Arcadia commercial area. The consultant
also determined the economic feasibility of financing a realistic redevelopment program,
but only as an amendment to the existing Central Redevelopment Project. A South
Arcadia redevelopment project could not stand alone. The City Council then directed
staff to proceed with Phase 2, the formal amendment process. The Agency retained
Keyser Marston Associates (KMA) to prepare the formal Amendment. Terry A. Hayes

Associates (TAHA) was Keyser Marston's environmental consultant; Lindscott, Law and
Greenspan (LLG) prepared the Traffic Analysis for the Environmental Impact Report.
•
Throughout this lengthy process, numerous• reports and documents were prepared by
Agency consultants and staff. These are listed on.Attachment 5. A copy of these staff
reports, Resolutions, or documents is available in City Hall at the City Clerk/Agency
Secretary's office or in the Development Services Department, Economic Development
Division. All of the documents cited in Attachment 5 are included as part of this report
to the City Council and Agency and are part of the public record for the Amendment No.
5.
Agency staff and the consultant prepared the proposed conceptual boundaries of the
amendment area leaving out as much as possible any residential dwellings and most of
the newer commercial developments, e.g.; Ralph's, Albertson's, and Say-On. Three
non-conforming residences in a C-0 zone on W. Las Tunas were left in the proposed
amendment area.
The conceptual boundary was approved by the City Council in January 2001 and a civil
engineering firm was then retained to prepare the actual legal description. This legal
description was included in the Preliminary Plan, a required document which provides
. an overview of the proposed project area and is sent to the taxing agencies. Based
upon comments of the Los Angeles County Recorder's Office, a minor amendment to
the boundary was prepared and approved by the Council in March 2001.
KMA then prepared the Preliminary Report, the basic informational and analytical report
describing the proposed amendment's purpose, presenting in more detail the presence
of economic and physical blight. In summary, KMA found that 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% of privately-owned lots were less than 200 feet
in depth, an inadequate depth for economic efficiency; assessed property values in the
amendment area over the last four years rose only 7.9% vs. a 17.9% in the City as a
whole and a 16.3% rise in Los Angeles County. Taxable sales decreased over 20%,
while sales in the City increased over 11% over the last three years, and there are
numerous public infrastructure needs. (A more detailed discussion of "blight" in South
Arcadia is found on pages 9-21 of the Report to the City Council (Attachment 2c).
Additional information regarding blight, the impact on the community and the need for
redevelopment is also provided in Attachment 3; more information on the issue will be
provided at the Public Hearing.)
The Report sets forth several programs,e.g., facade rehabilitation, capital improvement
projects in the public right-of-way, and possible acquisition/development projects to
eliminate or reduce the blighting influences. KMA analyzed in some detail the projected
revenues generated by the project area amendment and in the existing project area and
related these to the proposed expenditures of $8.2 million in net revenues after the
required deductions for pass-through payments to taxing agencies. In summary, the
•
� r
Mayor and City Council
Arcadia Redevelopment Agency
July 3, 2001
Page 4
amendment area will generate about $11 million in total gross revenues, of which $2.2
million (20%) must be spent for low/moderate income housing, $2.8 million for required
pass-through taxes to L.A. County and the other taxing agencies and $6 million for
Agency projects.
Terry Hayes & Associates (TAHA) prepared the environmental analysis of the proposed
project, assuming a 30 year project life and two alternate build-out scenarios: Proposed
Project - 50 housing units and 257,000 sq. ft. of commercial; Alternative 1 - 150 housing
units and 167,000 sq. ft. of commercial; Alternative 2 - 302,000 sq. ft. of commercial.
Net new development under each scenario is 142,000 sq. ft. Based upon TAHA's Final
Environmental Impact Report (Attachment 6), there are three significant impacts that
cannot be mitigated — air quality, solid waste, flood hazard. For that reason, a Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared (Attachment 7), and a Statement
of Overriding Considerations included as part'of the ARA Resolution 198 (Attachment 8)
and City Council Resolution 6232 (Attachment 11).
The proposed,text of Amendment No. 5 to the Central Redevelopment Plan is provided
in Attachment 4 in blackline showing the proposed changes to the Redevelopment Plan.
In addition to these changes dealing solely. with the South Arcadia Area, e.g.,
boundaries, term. (30 years), maximum tax -increment ceiling ($60 million), eminent
domain (12 years), land use map, it clearly specifies that the City General Plan is the
basic Land use Plan for the Project Area and Amendment Area.
The proposed amendment permits use of the power of-eminent domain (condemnation)
on all private properties in the added territory for the legal maximum of 12 years
following adoption. The Agency in the past has occasionally had to use this power, but
the Agency has never gone to trial with a property owner. The Agency's hotel and office
developments in the downtown Central Redevelopment project area could not have
occurred but for the use of this authority and it is possible the Agency may be required
to utilize it to assemble a larger parcel for development in South Arcadia.
As required by law, notice of this Public Hearing and the CEQA process was published
in the Arcadia Weekly on May 31, June 7, June 14, June 21, and June 28. A similar
letter informing the owners of properties in both the existing project area and
amendment area was mailed by first class mail to all assesses of record as of May 2001
on June 1, 2001. Another letter, again announcing this Public Hearing on the
amendment and on the CEQA process, was delivered to all occupants in both the
existing area and amendment area on June 2, 2001. (A total of approximately 2,500
letters was mailed or delivered to owners and occupants.) A similar letter was sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to all taxing agencies on May 31, 2001. Copies
of the letters, proof of notice, and affidavits which are set forth in the Chronology,
Attachment 6, are hereby also made a part of the record.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
An EIR was prepared by Terry A. Hayes Associates (Attachment 6), based upon an
Initial Study of the Amendment Area. .A. Notice of Preparation was prepared and
forwarded to the County, the State Clearinghouse, and appropriate organizations and
entities on February 10, 2001. Based upon TAHA's analysis, and comments received, a
Notice of Completion for the Draft EIR was prepared and circulated on April 12, 2001.
During the 45 day circulation period, three (3) letters were received. A fourth arrived
after the deadline, but a response was prepared and forwarded to the sender. These
letters, and the responses, are included in the final EIR (Attachment 6).
Based upon TAHA's analysis, there are three significant environmental impacts—direct
and cumulative air quality,cumulative solid waste, and direct exposure to flood hazard -
which cannot be eliminated or mitigated to a level of insignificance. The consultant has
therefore prepared a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (Attachment 7)which.
sets forth certain actions and procedures the Agency and City will take or follow to
reduce as much as possible the adverse environmental impacts of amendment area
development.. A more complete discussion and analysis of the environmental impacts
as required by CEQA is set forth in Agency Resolution 198 (Attachment 8) and City
Council Resolution 6232 (Attachment 11), which also adopt a Statement of Overriding
Considerations and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
FISCAL IMPACT
Over the 30 year life of the project area amendment, the Agency is estimated to receive
a net $8.2 million, of which, approximately $2.2 million must be spent for low/moderate
income housing, leaving approximately $6 million to implement projects and programs.
This is after deduction of the required pass-through of tax increment ($2.8 million) to the
taxing agencies.
The estimate.of Agency costs for implementation of programs and projects is $6 million,
not including acquisition/relocation costs which are unknown. The maximum tax
increment that can be received over the life of the project area is $60 million.
RECOMMENDATION .
It is recommended that the City Council/Agency open the joint public hearing, conduct
the hearing and take testimony, and then close the hearing tonight. Then, the City
Council/Agency should continue their joint meeting to July 10, 2001, at which time it is
recommended that: .

Amendment No. 5 to the Central Redevelopment Plan
BURDEN ON THE COMMUNITY AND THE NEED FOR REDEVELOPMENT
I. SUMMARY OF BLIGHTING CONDITIONS
As described herein and in the Report to the City Council, physical and economic
blighting conditions exist in the Amendment Area that have had a significant impact on
general business conditions. These include:
Physical Blight:
Buildings of Inadequate Size 54% of buildings are of inadequate size by modern
standards (less than 5,000 square feet in area).
Poor Site Configuration 19% of parcels had inadequate site layouts by
modern standards (inadequate setbacks, rear
parking/load conflicts).
Inadequate Parking 21% of parcels had insufficient parking, no parking,
or parking that had poor accessibility by modern
standards.
Lots of Irregular Shape and 53% of parcels are less than the minimum
Inadequate Size developable size by modern standards (.46 acres).
Economic Blight:
Stagnant Property Values Property values have increased 1.8% per year(less.
than the 2% adjustment allowed under Proposition
13) versus 4.5% per year Citywide and 4.1% per
year Countywide.
Declining Retail Sales Sales tax revenues have declined by 20.4%
percent in the Amendment Area while sales tax
revenues have increased by 11.4% Citywide. The
number of sales tax accounts has also declined
and by 37% and the amount of sales tax per
license is less than one-half of the amount for
licenses Citywide.
High Business Turnover Business licenses have been renewed at a rate of
only 38% versus a rate of 74% Citywide. Over a
PA0106018
Page 1 ATTACHMENT 3
•
June 28, 2001
three-year period, the turnover rate for sales tax
accounts was 115% (Refer to Appendix A).
Low Lease Rates Lease rates for available retail space in the
Amendment Area are significantly below lease
rates for other business districts in the City (Refer
to Appendix B). Lease rates for available office
space are at the low end of the range for the
business districts in the City. Rents are too low to
support new development on undersize and
blighted properties (Refer to Appendix C).
II. UTILIZATION OF THE AMENDMENT AREA
The blighting conditions summarized above have resulted in the Amendment Area being
underutilized: This lack of proper utilization is best illustrated by the high business
turnover rates and declining retail sales. As described in more detail in Appendix A, the.
rate of business license renewal in the Amendment Area is almost one-half the renewal
rate for the City as a whole (38% vs. 74%), Over a three-year period, sales tax licenses
experienced a turnover rate of 115%. The high level of business turnover means that
businesses are starting up and discontinuing operations in the Amendment Area at such
a high rate, that a stable base of retail and commercial activities that will draw a stable
customer base from the surrounding community cannot be established. The high
turnover of businesses has also hampered efforts to form a merchants association or
other private sector initiatives to alleviate blighting conditions. The lack of proper
utilization is also demonstrated by the decline in retail sales over the same three-year
period by 20.4% versus an 11.4% increase in the City. At the same time, the low lease
rates (described in Appendix B) and physical size constraints of properties in the
Amendment Area have discouraged property owners from attempting to upgrade their
properties to attract more viable tenants since lease rates are too low to justify •
acquisition and redevelopment of the properties.
III. BURDEN ON THE COMMUNITY
The physical blighting conditions (inadequately-sized parcels and buildings, poor site
configurations, and inadequate,parking) prevent and substantially hinder the
economically viable use and capacity of properties in the Amendment Area. These
inadequacies are reflected in the economic blighting conditions (stagnant property
values, declining retail sales, high business turnover and low lease rates). As a result of
the poor business conditions, the ability of the Amendment Area to contribute to the
City's ability to fund services and improvements in the Amendment Area is reduced.
The City is particularly dependent upon property taxes and sales taxes as major revenue
PA0106018
Page 2 ATTACHMENT 3
June 28, 2001
sources for the general fund.. Combined, property taxes and sales taxes account for
sixty-five percent (65%) of the City's general fund in 2000-01. During the same period,
seventy percent (70%) of the general fund was used to pay for police, fire and public
works—all essential services to the entire City including the Amendment Area. As a
result, the amount of tax revenues the Amendment Area contributed to pay for essential
services and public improvements has declined while the need for such services in the
area has not. This creates a burden on the community since the City must continue to
provide these services to the Amendment Area regardless of how much it contributes to
City revenues. As a result, the City must utilize a larger share of other revenue sources
to make up for the declining contribution of Amendment Area. Despite public and private
efforts to alleviate the blighting conditions (described in the next section of this
Attachment), the Amendment Area continues to decline and contribute less to the
provision of essential services.
IV. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR ATTEMPTS TO REDEVELOP THE
AMENDMENT AREA
•
Both the public and private sectors, acting alone, have attempted to redevelop and
revitalize the Amendment Area without success. Given the large population and income
characteristics of the area surrounding the South Arcadia Business District, the
Amendment Area would be expected to attract strong retail tenants. To a limited extent,
this has occurred. The larger developable sites in the South Arcadia Business District
have been acquired and developed. Specifically, two major supermarkets and a fast
food restaurant have located within the South Arcadia Business District in the past five
years. Yet despite the arrival of these strong retail businesses, the area has continued
to decline as evidenced by the stagnant property values, high rates of business turnover,
low lease rates, and declining retail sales..
Due to the City's budget limitations and the need to allocate resources equitably
throughout the City, the financial resources available for extraordinary efforts needed to
redevelop the Amendment Area are limited. The City provides information regarding
available lease space and properties for sale in the Amendment Area to businesses that
express interest in locating within the City. The City has also continually maintained the
streets, streetscape and street medians in the Amendment Area at a high level to make
the area more attractive and encourage businesses and property owners to invest in the
area. In the past five years alone, the City has expended over$600,000 in gas tax,
Proposition C and Section 302 funds on storm drain and street improvements.
Within the private sector, business and property owners have attempted to band
together over the past few years to better facilitate cooperation and marketing efforts
through forming a merchant's association with the assistance of the Arcadia Chamber of
Commerce. However, these efforts have been unsuccessful. Other efforts to revitalize
PA0106018
Page 3 ATTACHMENT 3
June 28, 2001 •
the area along Live Oak Avenue (the area that includes the Amendment Area and the
unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County) have been made by the Monrovia
Arcadia Duarte Town Council (MAD). This community-based private citizen group was
formed in 1993 to advise the County Supervisor on issues affecting the communities of
El Monte, Temple City, Arcadia, Monrovia, Duarte and the unincorporated portion of Los
Angeles County, and to help direct public sector resources to solve problems and issues
in these communities. The South Arcadia business district has been one of three areas
of focused efforts by the MAD. Yet the cooperative efforts of the County and the MAD •
over the past eight years have not been sufficient to alleviate blighting conditions in the
Amendment Area.
V. FEASIBILITY OF PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT
Given the inadequate lot sizes, low lease rates and stagnant property values, private
property owners have no incentive to invest in upgrading their properties. The time and
expense involved in acquiring adjacent properties to create development sites is also a
disincentive to investment, given the risk associated with investment. The few remaining
large parcels (one acre or more) available for development in the South Arcadia
Business District have been acquired and/or developed for the most part. Most of these
properties have been omitted from the Amendment Area (i.e. the Ralph's, Albertson's
and Say-on sites). Yet business conditions in the Amendment Area continue to decline,
with little revitalization activity taking place on the smaller properties that are
predominant in the area. The costs associated with acquiring properties to create
development sites is such the rents required to provide a normal return would be higher
that current rents in the Amendment Area and near the high end of rents in the other
business districts in the City that are not blighted. As described in detail in Appendix C,
the required retail rents would be approximately$1.83 per square foot, which is much
higher that the $0.78 - $0.95 per square foot rates for spaces that are currently available
in the Amendment Area and higher than the typical asking rates for rents in the better
business districts in the City. Office rents would need to be approximately $1.63 per
square foot, which is also much higher than the $0.80 - $1.20 per square foot rates for
office space currently available in the Amendment Area and is in the range of typical
asking rates for space in the other business districts. Tenants that can afford higher
rents are more likely to opt to lease space in better locations rather than pay high rents
to locate in an area that is blighted and experiencing economic decline.
VI. NEED FOR REDEVELOPMENT
As discussed above, public efforts by the City, cooperative efforts by the County and the
local community, and private efforts by property owners and businesses have not been
able to alleviate the physical and economic blighting conditions in the Amendment Area.
The small lot and building sizes, poor parcel configurations and inadequate parking
PA0106018
Page 4 ATTACHMENT 3
June 28, 2001
make the Amendment Area less attractive to investors and businesses. Coupled with
the high business turnover, low lease rates, stagnant property values and declining retail
sales, the costs and risks associated with redeveloping properties in the Amendment
Area make the acquisition of parcels for development sites too risky or unfeasible. The
private sector and the public sector, each acting alone, will not be able to alleviate
blighting conditions in the Amendment Area.,;

APPENDIX A- BUSINESS TURNOVER
High business turnover, coupled with declining retail sales and declining property values,
are indicators of declining economic conditions in the Amendment Area. In order to
assess the levels of business turnover in the Amendment Area, business license data
and retail sales tax data was analyzed,and where possible, compared to similar data for
the City as a whole to assess the rates at which new businesses are being formed, and
the level of business failures.
Business License Data
Analysis of business license data for the City for 1999/2000 revealed that on average, of
the total business licenses processed, approximately seventy-four percent (74%) are
renewed licenses and twenty-six percent (26%) are new licenses.

Data for business licenses issued in the Amendment Area and processed through mid-
December of 2000 was also reviewed. These data represent the total number of active
business licenses in the Amendment Area. A total of 93 business licenses were on file •
with the City. Of the 93 licenses, only 35 or thirty-eight percent (38%)were renewed
licenses, with sixty-two percent (62%) of the licenses issued being new licenses. While
the 93 active licenses may not include every business in the Amendment Area, given the
City's strict licensing enforcement inspection policies, the number of licenses is generally
representative of the business activity in the Amendment Area. Given that the rate of
license renewal in the Amendment Area is significantly below the average renewal rate
PA0106018
Page 6 ATTACHMENT 3
June 28, 2001
for that of the City, the data suggest that the rate of business failure in the Amendment
Area is considerably higher than that for the City as a whole.
Retail Sales License Data
Sales tax account data was also reviewed to,assess the level of business turnover in the
Amendment Area. The names, addresses, account numbers and status of sales tax
licensees was reviewed for the three year period from fiscal year 1997/98 through fiscal
year 1999/2000 so that the number of businesses reporting sales taxes, businesses that
stopped reporting taxable sales and businesses that reported no taxable sales during
the three-year period could be identified. The estimated number of businesses
reporting sales taxes has,declined significantly over the period evaluated, from 103 in
• 1997/98 to 65 in 1999/2000.' Over the three-year period, the number of businesses
reporting taxable sales declined thirty-seven percent(37%) and the total number of
accounts declined thirty-one percent (31%). The average number of reporting
businesses over the period is 89, which is very close in number to the licensed
businesses in the Amendment Area as of December 2000.

sale taxes, or experienced a change in account status (change in ownership). Twenty-
four(24) new businesses established sales tax accounts in the Amendment Area. By
comparing the number of active accounts at the end of fiscal year 1999/2000 with the
total turnover of accounts over the period studied, the turnover rates for active accounts
could be estimated. As shown in the table below, the turnover rate for active accounts
equals 115%.

Utilizing the amount of sales taxes generated per year and the number of accounts
estimated by the City at the end of the second quarter of 2000, the average amount of
sales per account was estimated for the Amendment Area and for the City. As shown in
the following chart, the amount of sales per account is considerably below that for the
City. Sales per account range between $144,835 to $181,973 for the Amendment
Area, while sales per account range between $418,101 and $465,734 for the City.
2 These included business that did not change names but had a new license (account number)
issued or those for which a business left the tax roll, and a new business of the same type and
similar name at the same address appeared on the tax roll in the same or the next quarter.
3 Retail includes grocery and liquor stores, restaurants, apparel and specialty stores, and other
stores that sell retail merchandise. Auto includes gas stations, auto repair shops, and auto parts
suppliers. Other includes non-auto repair shops, electrical and construction equipment, business
services, and other miscellaneous types of businesses that do not fit in the retail or auto
categories. Part-time sales licenses were excluded from the analysis.

Conclusion
The Amendment Area is experiencing high levels of business turnover relative to the
balance of the City. As described below, the rate of business license renewal is
significantly below that for the City as a whole, suggesting a high failure rate among
businesses in the Amendment Area. In addition to a significant decline in retail sales,
the number of businesses reporting retail sales has also declined and a relatively high '
number of businesses stopped reporting retail sales taxes over the past three years. On
a per-account basis, the amount of sales in the Amendment Area is considerably below
that for the City. Coupled with the estimated turnover rate among the businesses
estimated to be as high as 115% in the Amendment Area, these indicators illustrate the
distressed and declining business conditions in the area and the inability of the private
sector, acting alone, to improve blighting conditions.

APPENDIX B - LOW LEASE RATES
In order to assess lease rates in the Amendment Area, lease rate data collected by the
City and compiled in June of 2001 was reviewed for retail and office space in the
Amendment Area and for the other business districts in the City.
Retail Lease Rates
Lease rate data was available for the Downtown, North Arcadia, and West Arcadia
Business Districts as well as,the Amendment Area (South Arcadia Business District). A
total of eleven quotes were obtained. Lease rates were quoted as either gross4 or triple
net (NNN)5 rates per square foot (psf). Gross lease rates ranged from $0.77 to $1.75
psf, with all but one of six rates quoted at least $1.25 psf. The median lease rate was
•
$1.35 and the average lease rate was $1.33. Triple net lease rates ranged from $1.00 to
$2.00 psf, with all but one of the five rates quoted at least $1.35 psf. The median NNN
lease rate was $1.45 and the average lease rate was $1.51.
By comparison, there were only two lease rates available for the Amendment Area, one
at $0.95 psf gross, and another at$0.78 psf that was not specified but was assumed to
be a gross lease rate. Both of the lease rates are considerably below the average $1.33
gross and $1.51 NN lease rates quoted for the balance of the City.

Office Lease Rates
Lease rate data was available for the Downtown and North Arcadia Business Districts as
well as the Amendment Area (South Arcadia Business District). A total of seventeen
quotes were obtained. Lease rates were quoted as either gross or modified gross6
rates per square foot (psf). Gross lease rates ranged from $1.45 to $2.50 psf, with all
but two of the eight lease rates quoted at least$1.80 psf. The median lease rate was'
$1.85 and the average lease rate was $1.94. Modified gross lease rates ranged from
$0.80 to $1.50 psf, with all but two of the nine lease.rate quotes at least $1.05 psf. The
median modified gross lease rate was $1.25 psf and the average was $1.21 psf.
By comparison, there were four lease rate quotes available for the Amendment Area,
one as a gross lease rate and three as modified gross lease rates. The gross lease rate
was $0.80 psf, well below the $1.94 psf average for the balance of the City. The
modified gross lease rates ranged between $1.10 and $1.20 psf. These are also below
the average modified gross lease rate quoted for the balance of the City but are within
the low end of the range.

Conclusion
•
Lease rates for retail and office space in the Amendment Area are low. Retail lease
rates for available space are below the normal range of lease rates for space in the other
business districts in the City. Office lease rates are either below or at the low end of the
normal range for space in the other business districts in the City. Businesses seeking
retail or office space in the City are most likely to choose to locate in the best location for
their business that they can afford. Small retail tenants in particular are affected by the
strength of surrounding businesses and their ability to attract customers to an area. As a
result, they are particularly concerned with the economic viability of a location and, if
6 Landlord generally pays for everything except utilities and janitorial services.

they are able, pay more rent for a better location. As a result, the Amendment Area is
only able to attract weaker tenants, as illustrated by the high level of business turnover
•
and declining retail sales. The low lease rates are a disincentive to property owners to
improve their properties since, as illustrated in Appendix C, the probability of receiving a
reasonable return on their investment is low.

APPENDIX C-POTENTIAL FOR PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT
In general, retail lease rates in the Amendment Area are well below lease rates in the
other business districts in the City and office lease rates are at the low end of the
spectrum of lease rates for the City. The low lease rates limit the returns to property
owners and discourage investment in properties to alleviate blighting conditions since
rents are too low to provide sufficient return on investment.
In order to assess the potential for private sector development in the Amendment Area,
two example development scenarios were examined to determine the rents required to
justify new retail or office development in the Amendment Area, assuming that multiple
parcels would be acquired to create a development site. Land prices were estimated
based upon commercial land sales comparables along Las Tunas Drive between
Baldwin Avenue (in the area of Temple City closest to the Amendment Area in location
and character) and the eastern Arcadia city limit and were conservatively estimated'at
$20.00 per square foot (psf). Assuming that a 2-acre site could be assembled, it could
accommodate a 22,000 square foot strip retail center or a 2-story, 30,000 office building.
As shown in the following tables (Scenarios 1 and 2), the rents required for the strip
retail center would be $1.83 psf per month and for the office building would be $1.63 psf.
In both cases, these rents are significantly above the asking rents of available retail'and
office space in the Amendment Area (which top out at$1.20 psf. It should also be noted
that the development scenarios do not include the costs associated with demolition of
existing buildings. If the costs associated with the demolition of existing buildings was
added to the scenarios, the rents required for an adequate return would be even higher.
While it could be possible for a property owner to receive the required rents illustrated in
either of these scenarios, the poor economic conditions in the Amendment Area would
make attracting quality tenants difficult and the high level of business turnover indicates
that tenants in the Amendment Area would not likely be able to pay higher rents.
'The land sales data from CoStar Group available for land adjacent to the Amendment Area
identified the most recent land sale for a 2.26-acre property that sold for a price of$25.39 per
square foot. This sales price is 27% higher than the price used in the analyses.

Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
for the
Final Environmental Impact Report
for Amendment No. 5 to the Central Redevelopment Project
State Clearinghouse No. 2001021062
June 2001 -
INTRODUCTION
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires the adoption of feasible mitigation
measures to minimize or eliminate potentially significant environmental impacts associated with
project development. The Final EIR includes project-specific mitigation measures to reduce the
potential environmental effects of the project. In order to ensure that the mitigation measures
and project revisions identified in the EIR are implemented, a public agency is required to adopt
a program for monitoring or reporting on the revisions which it has required in the project and
the measures it has imposed to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects (CEQA
Guidelines Section 15097).
The project-specific mitigation measures included in the Final EIR will be monitored by the
appropriate reviewing agency described in Table 1 of this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program.
PURPOSE
As noted above, monitoring of the implementation of adopted mitigation measures is required by
Public Resources Code Section 21081.6. Therefore, this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMP) has been prepared to ensure compliance with all of the mitigation measures
identified in the Final EIR which would lessen or avoid potentially significant adverse
environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed project. The
implementation of this MMP shall be carried out by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency and
other agencies or entities (e.g., developer or consultants) specified below. Project-specific
mitigation measures will be implemented during: (1) development of the design; (2) preparation
of the construction contracts; (3) the construction phase; and (4) project operation.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION.
The proposed project would amend the existing City of Arcadia Central Downtown
Redevelopment Project (approximately 256 acres) by adding a non-contiguous area of
approximately 75 acres encompassing primarily commercial uses along Live Oak Avenue and
Las Tunas Drive, generally between El Monte Avenue on the west and Santa Anita Wash on the
east. Actions taken by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency would focus on building,
infrastructure, and public service delivery improvements to the area as well as possible
supplemental economic assistance to businesses and property owners within the amendment
area. Over the 30-year life of the redevelopment plan it is anticipated that up to approximately
260,000 square of commercial development (new construction and/or rehabilitation of existing
space) and the creation of up to 50 housing units would take place within the amendment area
through the year 2031.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES '
The Arcadia Redevelopment Agency or designee is delegated responsibility for implementation
and any revisions to this MMP.
Monitoring of mitigation measures has been assigned to specific agencies and/or entities with
regard to their particular areas of expertise, as specified in Table 1. Many of these monitoring
actions are included in existing policies, laws, and regulations, while others require additional
oversight to ensure that. mitigation measures are implemented by the developer or other
specified parties, and that the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency monitored the implementation of
these measures. Monitoring will consist of determining whether:
• Specific.issues were considered in the design development phase;
• ;Construction contracts included the specified provisions;
• Specific actions occurred prior to construction; and
• The required measures were implemented during construction and/or after
implementation of the project.
MONITORING PROCEDURES
The designated individual or agency shall monitor all field activities. The authority and
responsibilities of the lead agency are described above.
REPORTING PROCEDURES
Upon the request of the City of Arcadia, or any other responsible Agency, a monthly report
affirming compliance with these mitigation measures shall be provided. In addition, the
developer/applicant may be required to retain an independent environmental consultant to
ensure mitigation compliance, timely preparation of reports, and to assist the Arcadia
Redevelopment Agency or the designated individual or agency.
Consistent with Implementation Plan requirements of the California Redevelopment Law (CRL),
a mitigation monitoring report shall be prepared for this project by the Arcadia Redevelopment
Agency every five years until compliance with the required mitigation measures are complete._
The report shall be placed on file at the City Hall, Development Services Department.
Any substantive change in the MMP made by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency shall be
approved by the Executive Director.
