SUPPORT SPECIALIST AND CIRCULATION SERVICES SUPERVISOR,
AS WELL AS APPROVE REVISIONS TO THE EXISTING JOB
DESCRIPTIONS OF COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING SPECIALIST 1 /II,
ASSISTANT CITY LIBRARIAN, PRINCIPAL LIBRARIAN AND SENIOR
LIBRARY TECHNICIAN
SUMMARY
The approval of the proposed new and revised job descriptions will amend the City's
existing personnel classification and compensation plan.
BACKGROUND
Periodically, City departments experience the need to create new classifications or revise
existing job descriptions to address new operating needs. They develop requests that are
reviewed by the City Manager, and then the Administrative Services Department/Human
Resources Office conducts appropriate assessment interviews, meetings and analyses to
evaluate the requests and make recommendations. The Human Resources Commission is
responsible for reviewing and approving all job descriptions, prior to the job descriptions
being sent to City Council for final approval.
DISCUSSION
The proposed job specifications pertain to two City Departments as follows:
1. City Manager's Office — The City Manager has proposed that job description for the
flexible staffing classification of Communications & Marketing Specialist 1 /II
(Exhibit 1) be revised to address the needs of the Communications and Marketing
operations.

2. Police Department — The Police Chief has proposed that a Police Communications

compensated at Salary Schedule No. 64, in order to respond to the increasing
computer technology and radio communications support requirements that have
been placed on the department.
3. Library Services Department — The City Librarian has proposed that a Circulation
Services Supervisor classification (Exhibit III) be established and compensated at
Salary Schedule No. 54, and that the job descriptions be revised for the
classifications of Assistant City Librarian, Principal Librarian and Senior Library
Technician, in order to address the operations needs of the Library.
At its regular meetings on 9 -13 -01 and 10- 11 -01, the Human Resources Commission
reviewed and approved the proposed new and revised job descriptions.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approval of the proposed new and revised job descriptions will not have an additional
impact on the City budget because their funding have been addressed through the regular
budget process.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the job descriptions for the new
classifications of Police Communications — Computer Support Specialist and
Circulation Services Supervisor, as well as approve the revisions to the existing job
descriptions of Communications & Marketing Specialist 1 /11, Assistant City Librarian,
Principal Librarian and Senior Library Technician, effective November 7, 2001.

STAFF REPORT
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
November 6, 2001
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: William R. Kelly, City Manager Wilk
By: Cindy Rowe, Management Services Officer's
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2151, establishing the Arcadia Historical Commission
BACKGROUND
The original Arcadia Historical Museum was operated solely by' volunteers, led by a
volunteer Board of Directors, with expenses paid by donations from the community.
With the opening of the new Ruth and Charles Gilb Arcadia Historical Museum and
the resignation of long -time volunteer curator Carol Libby, the City Council allocated
funds to hire a full -time curator to oversee the museum collections and to guarantee a
secure future for the new museum. Due to the increased size and scope of the new
facility, the Historical Society Board of Directors has agreed to the concept of having
the City Council appoint a commission to ensure the on -going operation and
maintenance of the museum as a City facility.
DISCUSSION
The attached ordinance creates a Historical Commission, similar to the commission
created in 1982 to oversee the original museum. (That commission was disbanded in
1986 when the volunteer group was able to assume all duties.) The new commission
will act in an advisory capacity to the City Council in all matters pertaining to the
museum, and will be charged with the responsibility to develop a vision and mission
statement, identify goals, create collection policies and guide the museum as it
develops its programs and collections.
It is proposed that the seven (7) member - commission be comprised of four (4)
members suggested by the Arcadia Historical Society and approved by the City
Council, two (2) members suggested by the City Council, and one (1) member
suggested by the Library Board of Trustees. The inclusion of the Library Board in
LASER IMAGED
ORDINANCE NO. 2151
November 6, 2001

DISCUSSION (continued)
the appointment process will enhance communication and build a network between
the museum, the library and other organizations that share the same interests and
concerns regarding the preservation of Arcadia's history. Additionally, one (1) ex-
officio, non - voting member shall be appointed by the City Manager or designee.
If the City Council concurs, it is suggested that three members serve an initial two -
year term and four members. serve a four -year term, so that staggered terms will result
as in other City commissions.
FISCAL IMPACT
As stated previously, funds to hire a professional curator have already been allocated.
A curator, Maren Hackley, has been hired and began her duties on October 30.
It is not yet known what the on -going operational costs will be for the new facility; a
budget will be created and monitored as in all other City operations. The Historical
Society will continue fund - raising efforts and encourage the utilization of volunteers to
serve as docents and to assist with other museum activities.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council Introduce Ordinance No. 2151,
establishing the Arcadia Historical Museum.

November 6, 2001
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Janet Sporleder, City Librarian
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION, DIRECTION AND ADOPTION /APPROVAL OF
THE LIBRARY STRATEGIC PLAN AND PROPOSED CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND
EQUIPMENT
SUMMARY:
The Library Board has adopted the attached Strategic Plan that will serve to guide the
Library as it develops future programs and services. Funds were allocated for fiscal year
2001 -2002 in anticipation of the additional staffing needs of the Strategic Plan. With the
addition of staff and the goal of expanding services, there is also a need to evaluate space
allocation in the building in order to accommodate new offices and new service areas.
Two Capital Improvement Projects (attached) would provide funds to develop a space
allocation plan for additional offices and service areas and to equip new office areas.
The Library Board recommends that the City Council adopt the Strategic Plan and
approve the Capital Improvement Projects.
DISCUSSION:
The Library Board of Trustees adopted the attached Strategic Plan on September 20,
2001. The Plan includes a description of the process and procedures followed by the
Board as they developed this plan for expending the funds allocated by the City Council
for improving Library services. The Strategic Plan includes recommendations for a
complete reorganization of the staff and for additional staffing. The Plan will form the
basis for future decisions by the Library Board regarding services and programs.
The Strategic Plan includes a discussion of the need to provide additional office space at
the Library for the staffing levels recommended in the Plan and to develop suggestions
for expanding service areas in the facility. One of the attached Capital Improvement
Project requests would fund a space allocation study that would guide the development of
additional offices and would consider options for expanding public areas of service. The
other would provide funds for relocating and furnishing office space.
LASER IMAGED
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The Strategic Plan is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
per section 15306 (Information Collection).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Phase One funding as identified in the Plan is already available in the Library budget for
fiscal year 2001 -2002.
The Capital Improvement Project for a Library facilities space planning analysis would
require $20,000. The Equipment Acquisition request for relocating and furnishing offices
would require $25,000. Sufficient funds are available in the Capital Fund account.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Library Board recommends the City Council adopt the Strategic Plan and approve the
Capital Improvement Projects.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director
By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator ,-
SUBJECT: Recommendation to approve the 2000-2005 Housing Element Update and
adopt Resolution 6261 a Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Arcadia, amending Appendix A, the Community Development Section and
the Implementation and Monitoring Section of the General Plan by
adoption of the 2000-2005 Housing Element addressing the statutory
requirements relating to the City's Housing Element
SUMMARY
The California State Legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a
Housing Element as part of the comprehensive General Plan. State law requires
Housing Elements to be updated at least every five (5) years to reflect a community's
changing housing needs. The City's Housing Element update covers the 2000-2005
period, pursuant to the update cycle for jurisdictions within the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) region. Once adopted by the City Council, the
City's Housing Element update will be in compliance with State Housing Element law.
The Planning Commission at its September 25, 2001 meeting adopted Resolution 1653
recommending to the City Council adoption of the 2000-2005 Housing Element.
The Development Services Department is recommending that the City Council approve
the 2000-2005 Housing Element and adopt Resolution 6261 amending Appendix A, the
Community Development Section and the Implementation and Monitoring Section of the
General Plan.
BACKGROUND
The City Council adopted the current General Plan in September 1996. In 1998, the
City Council amended Appendix A and the Community Development Element of the
Arcadia General Plan addressing statutory requirements to the City's Housing Element.

' r
As noted, Housing Elements are required to be updated every five years and the
Housing Element update being considered is for the years 2000-2005.
On February 13, a public hearing was held before the Planning Commission to receive
input from the public as well as the Commission on the Draft 2000-2005 Housing
Element. Based on the comments received at this meeting, the Housing Element was
revised and submitted to the State of California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD), Division of Housing Policy Development for review. On April 27
the City received comments from HCD advising that the element needed to be revised.
to demonstrate that the City:
1. Has sufficient land, zoned at appropriate densities to accommodate the
development of housing commensurate with Arcadia's share of the regional
housing need for all income groups; and
2. That the City's housing programs encourage and facilitate the development,
rehabilitation and conservation of housing in Arcadia.
Revisions were made in response to HCD's comments and forwarded to them for a
second review. On August 13, the City received a letter from the State (see attached)
advising us that the City's Housing Element update adequately responds to the
statutory requirements..." The revised element will be in "full compliance with State
Housing Element law when adopted and submitted for review".
The revisions made to the Housing Element are identified by underlines primarily in
Sections 4 (Housing Resources) and 5 (Housing Plan). Some of the changes are noted
below:
® The City has identified other potential sites for "affordable" housing, further
noting that the City recognizes that incentives and assistance are needed to
facilitate the consolidation of parcels for larger development, particularly the
development of affordable housing for working families.
• The revisions to the plan also note that the City permits residential development
within certain commercial and industrial areas subject to a conditional use
permit. Density levels in these areas are generally considered flexible.
• The Element further identifies other agencies that are available to assist the City
in accessing funds in support of affordable housing including: Habitat for
Humanity, Southern California Presbyterian Homes, Pasadena Neighborhood
Housing Services and the Southern California Housing Development
Corporation.
• Section 5 includes a combination of financial and regulatory tools that may help
to facilitate development of housing that is affordable to lower and, moderate-
income facilities.
Housing Element Update CC Report— Housing Element
November 6, 200.1
Page 2
• Five-Year Objectives are identified on page 5-17 and include:
o Continue to maintain an up-to-date site inventory, provide inventory,to
local developers along with information on development incentives.
o Utilize a combination of regulatory and financial incentives to assist in the
development of family housing.
o Review the zoning ordinance to consider modifications of development
standards.
DISCUSSION
The objectives of the Housing Element are to identify strategies and programs that
focus on:
• Providing adequate housing sites;
• Preserving and improving housing and neighborhoods;
• Assisting in the provision of affordable housing;
• Removing governmental and other constraints to housing development; and
• Promoting fair and equal housing opportunities
State Policy
As noted in the Housing Element, "attainment of a decent home and suitable living
environment. for every citizen is a major housing goal of the State". The Housing
Element is part of the City's comprehensive General Plan. Section 65302(c) of the
Government Code sets forth the specific components to be contained in a community's
Housing Element.
Future Housing Needs
In 1998 SCAG developed its Regional Housing Needs Assessment commonly referred
to as RHNA forecasts based on forecasts of population, employment and households
from 1998 to 2000. Based on these forecasts, SCAG determined that the construction
need for Arcadia during the 1998-2005 planning period is 461 units. The following table
sets forth the need based on income levels:
Income Group Units % of Total
Very Low (0-50% MFI*) 55 12%
Low (51-80% MFI) 32 7%
Moderate (81-120% MFI) 46 - 10%
Above Moderate (Over 120% MFI) 327 71%
Total Units 461 I 100%
*MFI = Median Family Income

The table below illustrates the annual income for Very Low, Low and Moderate-income
households by the size of family. In addition, it indicates the maximum affordable
housing costs based on the state standard of 30% of income towards housing costs.

Small Family $56,250 $1,406
Large Family $67,500 $1,688
*Small Family = up to 4 persons - Large Family = 5 or more persons
**Includes utilities, taxes and insurance
Goals
Because of the high housing costs and diminishing residential development
opportunities in the City, the Arcadia Housing Element focuses on two major goals: to
provide adequate sites for future housing growth and to conserve the existing housing
that is affordable to lower and moderate income households.
Components of the Housing Element
The Housing Element consists of the following major components:
• An analysis of the City's demographic profile, housing characteristics and existing
and future housing needs;
• A review of potential market, governmental' and environmental constraints to
meeting the City's identified housing needs.
• An evaluation of the land and financial resources available to address the City's
identified housing needs; and
• A statement of the housing plan with goals, policies and programs to address the
City's identified housing needs.
Proposed Changes to the General Plan
Because of the format of the City's General Plan, adoption of the Housing Element will
also include the following changes to the General Plan:
• The 2000-2005 Housing Element will replace Appendix A in its entirety.
Housing Element Update CC Report— Housing Element

2000-2005 housing period pursuant to Government Code Sections 65880-
65889."
Table 6-F on pages 6-30 through 6-33 should be deleted and the text revised to read
as follows:
"HOUSING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Arcadia intends to meet its housing needs and achieve identified
objectives through the programs identified in Table 33 in Appendix A (2000-2005
Housing Element)."
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission at its September 25 meeting voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution
1653 recommending to the City Council adoption of the 2000-2005 Housing Element.
CEQA
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Community
Development Division has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial
study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of
the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water,
minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic significance.
When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project
will have any potential for adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which
Housing Element Update CC Report— Housing Element
November 6, 2001
Page 5
the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this
project.
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends approval of the 2000-2005
Housing Element as amended.
If the City Council concurs with staff's recommendation, the Council should adopt the
Negative Declaration and move to approve the 2000-2005 Housing Element and
adopt Resolution 6261:
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Arcadia, amending Appendix A, the
Community Development Section and the Implementation and Monitoring
Section of the General Plan by adoption of the 2000-2005 Housing Element

Dear Ms. Butler:
RE: Review of the Revisions to the City of Arcadia's Draft Housing Element Update
Thank you for submitting the revisions to Arcadia's draft housing element update, received for our
review by mail and facsimile transmission on June 26 and August 6, 2001, respectively. We have
reviewed the revisions pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b). Our telephone
conversation assisted this review. This letter summarizes that conversation and our review.
We are pleased to find the proposed revisions to the City's draft element, including commitments
to strengthen incentive programs, adequately respond to the statutory requirements described in
our April 27, 2001 review letter. Therefore, with the inclusion of the revisions, we are pleased to
find Arcadia's draft housing element meets all the statutory requirements of State housing element
law (Article 10.6 of the Government Code). The revised element will be in full compliance with
State housing.element law when adopted and submitted for review.
The City is planning on mixed-use and infill sites to accommodate the new construction need for
low- and moderate-income households. The City should monitor the use of such sites and, if
development commensurate with the City's regional housing need has not occurred by the end of
2003, additional incentives or regulatory concessions should be provided to encourage and
facilitate the needed development.
We look forward to receiving the adopted housing element. If you have any questions or would
like assistance, please contact Camilla Cleary, of our staff, at (916) 323-3185.
In accordance with their requests pursuant to the Public Records Act, we are forwarding a copy.of
this letter to the individuals listed below.

Dear Ms. Butler:
RE: Review of the City of Arcadia's Draft Housing Element Update
Thank you for submitting Arcadia's draft housing element update, received for our review
February 26, 2001. We have reviewed the draft housing element pursuant to Government Code
Section 65585(b). The telephone conversation with you and the City's consultant,
Ms. Veronica Tam, assisted this review. This letter and accompanying Appendix summarize that
conversation and our review.
While the current draft element includes a useful identification of housing needs in Arcadia,
revisions will be necessary to comply with State housing element law (Article 10.6 of the
Government Code). Among the necessary changes, the element should be revised to demonstrate
that the City: 1) has sufficient land, zoned at appropriate densities, to accommodate the
development of housing commensurate with Arcadia's share of the regional housing need for all
income groups, and 2) that the City's housing programs encourage and facilitate the
development, rehabilitation and conservation of housing in Arcadia. •
For your information, we have enclosed a brief description of new and existing housing and
community development programs administered by this Department along with funding levels
for the current fiscal year. We are pleased to report a historic increase in housing funds available
through HCD. Information on these programs, including recently released Notices of Funding
Availability (NOFA), has been posted to our website. Please consult our homepage at
www hcd ca.gov for new program infouiiation.
We would be happy to work with you in revising your element and welcome the opportunity to
meet in Arcadia. We thank you and Ms. Tam for your cooperation throughout the course of our
review. If you have any questions or would like assistance, please contact Camilla Cleary, of our
staff, at (916) 323-3185.

APPENDIX
City of Arcadia
The following changes would bring Arcadia's housing element into compliance with Article 10.6 of the
Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change we cite the supporting section of the
Government Code. The particular program examples or data sources listed are suggestions for your use.
A. Housing Needs, Resources and Constraints
1. The element should include an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including
vacant sites and sites having potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship
of zoning and public services available to these sites (Section 65583(a)(3)).
Arcadia's remaining regional need includes 55 very low- and 32 low-income units. The land
inventory indicates 29.98 acres of underutilized R-3 zoned land. The City's land inventory
should be revised to address the following statutory requirements:
• The City should demonstrate R-3 zoning can encourage and facilitate the development of
housing for lower-income households. The City could describe the affordability of recently
constructed multifamily developments in the R-3 zone to demonstrate the appropriateness
of this zone and whether units have been or are likely to be developed near the maximum
permitted density of 24 du/ac.
• Virtually all of the City's multifamily-zoned land is listed as underutilized. It appears that
the City's ability to accommodate lower-income development is highly dependent upon the
recycling of underutilized sites. To demonstrate the viability of underutilized land to
accommodate lower-income households the City should describe recent trends involving
higher density residential development on underutilized parcels and include a description of
the current uses of the underutilized sites, and describe any program or policies to facilitate
their redevelopment.
• Provide more infonuation on the potential for mixed-use. Table 28 does not indicate any
acreage available for residential mixed-use, but lists a potential of 7.0 units of mixed-use
development. The City should clarify the amount of land with this zoning, and the density
range for residential development in this zone. In addition, the viability of mixed-use
development in Arcadia could be supported by indicating whether Arcadia has adopted a
mixed-use ordinance.
2. Analyze potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement,
and development of housing for all income levels, including land use controls. The analysis
shall also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality
from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance with Section 65584 (Section
65583(a)(4)).
The City's parking standard requiring an attached garage with 2 parking spaces per multifamily
unit, plus one guest space for every two units, should be analyzed as a constraint to the
development of multifamily housing, and in particular housing to be occupied by lower-income
•
households. This analyst ould include an estimate of the addi al costs imposed by this
' requirement.
The element should also analyze the City's restriction on the placement of second units, which
are only allowed in multifamily zones.
B. Housing Programs
1. Identify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and
development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and
encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including
• rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, and emergency shelters and transitional
housing. Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), does not
identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of all household income levels
pursuant to Section 65584, the program shall provide for sufficient Sites with zoning that
permits owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right, including density and
development standards that could accommodate and facilitate the feasibility of housing for
very low- and low-income households (Section 65583(c)(1)).
As noted in comment A.1 above, further analysis of the feasibility of sites described in the
element is needed. The adequacy of sites cannot be established prior to a more detailed
analysis.
2. The housing element shall contain programs, which "address, and where appropriate and'
legally possible, remove governmental constraints to. the maintenance, improvement, and
development of housing"(Section 65583(c)(3)).
As noted above (B-3), Arcadia's element requires a more thorough analysis of potential
governmental constraints. Depending upon the results of the additional analysis, the City may
need to add programs to remove or mitigate any identified constraints.

Project Description: The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home
and suitable living environment for every Californian as the State's major housing goal. Recognizing
the important role of local planning programs in the pursuit of this goal, the Legislature has
mandated that all cities and counties prepare a Housing Element as part of their comprehensive
General Plan. State law requires Housing Elements to be updated at least every five years to reflect
a community's changing housing needs. This update covers the 2000-2005 period, pursuant to the
update cycle for jurisdictions within the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
region.
Findings: The City of Arcadia has determined that the proposed project has no potential to result in
a significant adverse effect on the environment. The documentation supporting this determination is
discussed in the attached Initial Study prepared for this project.

8. Description of project: •
The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment
for every Californian as the State's major housing goal. Recognizing the important role of local planning
programs in the pursuit of this goal,the Legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a housing
element as part of their comprehensive General Plans. Section 65302 (c) of the Government Code sets forth
the specific components to be contained in a community's housing element.
State law requires the housing elements to be updated at least every five years to reflect a community's
changing housing needs. This update covers the 2000-2005 period, pursuant to the update cycle for
jurisdictions within the Southern California Association of Governments region. The Arcadia Housing Element
was last updated in 1996 and is currently being comprehensively updated to address existing and projected
housing needs.
The Arcadia Housing Element contains the following major components:
a. An analysis of the City's population, household and employment base, and the characteristics of the
City's housing stock, including a summary of the present and projected housing need of the City's
households (Section 2);
b. A review of potential constraints to meeting the City's identified housing needs (Section 3);
c. An evaluation of resources that will further the development of new housing (Section 4); and;
d. A statement of the housing plan to address Arcadia's identified housing needs, including housing goals,
policies, and programs (Section 5).
9. Surrounding land uses and setting:
Surrounding areas include Monrovia, Irwindale, El Monte, Temple City, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Azusa,
unincorporated Los County areas, and the Angeles National Forest. Surrounding land uses include residential,
commercial, industrial, and open space/recreational uses.

Incorporation
I.AESTHETICS--Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a o e
scenic vista?
b) Substantially damage scenic resources,
including, but not limited to,trees, rock El E
outcroppings, and historic buildings within a
state scenic highway?
•
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual
character or quality of the site and its
surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or -
glare which would adversely affect day or El C El
nighttime views in the area?
(a through d) Pursuant to City's Zoning Ordinance, residential uses are permitted in certain commercial and
industrial areas. Development densities are determined during the Conditional Use Permit process. The
2000-2005 Housing Element includes an action to consider affordable housing development in certain
commercial and industrial areas at density levels of greater than 30 units per acre. Also, affordable housing
projects in mixed use areas and R-3 designated sites adjacent to commercial areas also may be granted
density levels of greater than 30 units per acre.
However, this proposal will impact only a limited number of properties as the City is approaching built out.
The City will review plans, including site design, landscaping, visual scale and architectural for all new
development to ensure compliance with development standards sets forth in the City's Municipal Code and
General Plan to ensure visual compatibility, protection of scenic vistas, and avoidance of light and-glare
effects on adjoining properties.
Furthermore, the Housing Element also sets forth policies and programs to facilitate housing rehabilitatil n,
code enforcement and neighborhood upgrading, such as the Home Improvement Loans and Grant
programs, code enforcement activities, and the Paint-up/Fix-up program. Therefore, the Housing Element
has the potential to improve the visual character of the community. Impact will be less than significant.
II.AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In
determining whether impacts to agricultural
resources are significant environmental
effects, lead agencies may refer to the
California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site
Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the
California Dept. of Conservation as an optional
model to use in assessing impacts on
agriculture and farmland. Would the project:

b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural ❑ ❑ ❑
use, or a Williamson Act contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing
environment which, due to their location or ❑ El ►1
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland,
to non-agricultural use?
(a through c) The project area does not contain prime farmland, unique farmland, or farmland of statewide
importance. The project site is located within a suburban area and is zoned for a variety of urban uses.
According to the Arcadia General Plan and General Plan EIR, no known agricultural resource exists within
the City. Thus, no Williamson Act contract has been executed in the project area. The project will not
involve any changes to the existing environment that could result in conversion of farmland to non-
agricultural use. No impact will result.
III.AIR QUALITY—
Where available, the significance criteria
established by the applicable air quality
management or air pollution control district
might be relied upon to make the following
determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of ❑ ❑ ® ❑
the applicable air quality plan?
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute ❑ El El ❑
substantially to an existing or projected air

c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net
increase of any criteria pollutant for which the
project region is non-attainment under an ❑ El r El applicable federal or state ambient air quality
standard (including releasing emissions which .

(a through e) The proposed Housing Element identifies available sites for development and establishes
programs and policies to address the City's future housing needs, defined as 461 units for the 1998-2005
planning period. To facilitate in meeting the City's future housing needs, the 2000-2005 Housing Element
proposes to increase the development density to greater than 30 units per,acre for affordable residential
development in certain commercial/industrial areas, in mixed use areas, and in R-3 sites adjacent to
commercial areas. This has the potential to increase the development potential within the City above the
level currently allowed by the City's adopted General Plan and evaluated in the General Plan EIR. However,
this development would occur within limited areas of the City and air quality impacts would be minimal!
Furthermore, the Housing Element implements the General Plan Land Use Policy of providing opportunities
for commercial/residential mixed-use projects. By promoting integration of housing with commercial uses
close to local services and employment centers, the Housing Element has the potential to reduce
dependence on the automobile and hence reduce impacts to air quality. Impacts to air quality will be less
than significant. i
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES--Would the
project:
a) Have substantial adverse effects, either r
directly or through habitat modifications, on
any species identified as a candidate,
sensitive or special status species in local or ❑ ❑
regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by
the California Department of Fish and Game
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantial adverse effect on any
riparian habitat or other sensitive natural
community identified in local or regional plans, ❑ ❑ ® ❑ I
policies, and regulations or by the California
Department of Fish and Game or US Fish and ,
Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on
federally protected wetlands as defined by
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, ❑ �]
but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal,
etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of
any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife
species or with established native resident or ❑ ❑ ❑

'(a through f) The City of Arcadia is highly developed with only a few areas remaining that contain
biologically significant resources. These include the Arcadia Wilderness Park and the Los Angeles County
Arboretum. The proposed project will not impact these biological resources and does not contain any
specific policy or land use change that would affect these resources. Remaining areas that may contain
sensitive habitat areas are primarily located along existing creeks, upper watershed areas, existing flood
control facilities and in natural hillside areas within the northern portion of the Arcadia planning area. Areas
with habitat value or biological resources as identified in the City's General Plan and Biological Sensitivity
• map will continue to be protected. The Housing Element does not propose construction of housing within
or nearby any sensitive habitat areas. Any future development will be subject to environmental review as
required by state laws and City policies. Impact will be less than significant.
•
The protection of heritage trees has been mandated within the City of Arcadia. The City adopted the Oak
Tree Preservation Ordinance in 1992, which recognizes oak trees as a significant aesthetic and biological
resource and establishes criteria for their preservation and protection. All future development will be
required to comply with the Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance.
•
No migration corridors are known to have been identified within the City, although such areas may exist
within the Los Angeles County Arboretum and the Arcadia Wilderness Park. The 2000-2005 Housing
Element does not propose construction of housing within or nearby these sensitive natural resources and
the adoption of the Housing Element will not impact or modify existing development regulations or City
policies for the preservation of biological resources. Future development within the City will be subject to
environmental review as required by State law and City policy. No impact will result. •
V. CULTURAL RESOURCES--Would the
project:
•
•
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the
significance of a historical resource as defined ❑ ❑ ® ❑

(a through cd) The proposed project does not involve revisions to development standards that would
impact cultural resources. A potential for archaeological resources may_exist within the community based
• on what is known regarding the history and location of the Southern California Gabrielino Native American
community. However, due to the built out status of the community, the amount of undisturbed land that
remains in the community is limited.
The Arcadia General Plan identifies the following historical resources located within the City: the Queen
Anne Cottage and Coach Barn and the Hugo Reid Adobe both located at the Los Angeles County
Arboretum, the Santa Anita Assembiy,Center located on the Santa Anita Racetrack, the Santa Anita Park, the
Santa Anita Depot, now located at the Los Angeles Arboretum, and a historical site located within the
National Forest Service Center. Most of these resources are within publicly owned land, and are protected-
from development.
The Housing Element does not involve revisions to development standards that would adversely impact
cultural, historical, or archeological resources. Existing policies related to cultural resources will continue to
apply to future development projects. Impact will be less than significant.
VI. GEOLOGY AND SOILS--Would the project
• a) Expose people or structures to potential
• substantial adverse effects, including the risk ❑ ❑ �� ❑
of loss, injury, or death involving:
i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as
delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo
Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the
State Geologist for the area or based on other ❑ ❑ ® ❑
substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to
Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42.

c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is
unstable, or that would become unstable as a
result of the project, and potentially result in 1=1 1
on-or off-site landslide, lateral spreading,
subsidence, liquefaction or collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in
Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code
(1994), creating substantial risks to life or
property?
•
•
e) Have soils incapable of adequately
supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative wastewater disposal systems
where sewers are not available for the
disposal of wastewater?
(a through e) An Alquist-Priolo Fault Zone associated with the potentially active Raymond Hill fault is
located within Arcadia, which transverses the community in a northeast/southwest orientation. Threats of.
ground shaking and seismic activity within the City are also associated with the Sierra Madre Fault Zone,
located in the northern portion of the City. In addition, Arcadia like many communities in Southern
California is subject to regional seismic activity.
Liquefaction may occur in earthquake prone areas when saturated, cohesionless soil is exposed to seismic
activity and is temporarily transformed into a liquid. While the potential for liquefaction in the community is
difficult to predict, previous occurrences of liquefaction have been identified in areas along the Raymond
Hill Fault near the Los Angeles County Arboretum property. Unstable soil conditions or landslides may
occur in the community's hillside areas. In addition, the City's General Plan and Municipal Code establish
residential development standards for these areas including, maximum densities, as well as setback and
height requirements.
Housing Element includes a program action to consider a density of greater than 30 units per acre for
affordable housing developments, potentially increasing the level of development activity beyond that
established by the General Plan and evaluated in the General Plan EIR. However, given the built out
character of the City, this program will affect only a limited number of properties. Furthermore, the project
sets forth programs and policies to facilitate housing rehabilitation and therefore has the potential to
improve the seismic safety of older housing units in the City. In addition, to minimize risks associated from
seismic activity, the City's General Plan emphasizes locating development away from hazardous areas and
the City's Municipal Code and Uniform Building Code set forth standards and regulations for development
in order to mitigate hazards to acceptable levels. Less than significant impact will result.
All future development within the City will be subject to site-specific geotechnical studies as determined
appropriate by the City and will comply with applicable building code regulations. Impact will be less than
significant.

VII. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Would the project:
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or
the environment through the routine transport, ❑ ❑ ❑ 1
use, or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or
the environment through reasonably
foreseeable upset and accident conditions ❑ ❑ ❑ -

(a through d). Within Arcadia, potential exposure to hazardous materials exists related to the transportation
of hazardous materials via truck on the 1-210 Freeway and on local roadways. Businesses that handle,
store or manufacture hazardous materials including hospitals, drycleaners and gas stations are also
located within the City. The handling, transportation, and enforcement of hazardous materials are
regulated and enforced by the California Health Department, Cal-EPA, US Environmental Protection
Agency, U.S. Department of Transportation, California Highway Petrol, and County of Los Angeles. These
federal, state and local regulatory framework assist in minimizing risk associated with the transportation,
handling and storage of hazardous materials. In addition, the City of Arcadia has adopted the Los Angeles
•
County Hazardous Waste Management Plan that regulates businesses that handle or generate hazardous
. materials. Any future development within the City will be subject to hazardous material designation.
The Housing Element proposes to consider residential density of greater than 30 units per acre for
affordable housing projects. However, due to the built out character of the City the potential increase in
residential population will occur in limited areas of the City. Impact will be less than significant.
(e and f) The proposed project area does not contain an airport. The proposed project therefore would not
result in aircraft safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. Future development will be
subject to compliance with existing land use compatibility regulations for projects within the vicinity of the
airport. No impact will result.
(g and h). The proposed project is located in a suburban area, the majority of which is developed. Risks of
wildfire are associated with the hillside areas within the community located at the base of the San Gabriel
Mountains. However, the 2000-2005 Housing Element does not change the existing land use designation
of the areas adjacent to the wildlands and therefore does not increase the fire risk to these areas. The
project will not increase the risk of exposure of people to the potential risk of fire. The Housing Element
encourages the enforcement of the Uniform Building Code to mitigate unsafe conditions in the City's
• existing housing stock. Impact is less than significant.
VIII. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY--
Would the project:
a)Violate any water quality standards or waste El •
discharge requirements?
b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies
or interfere substantially with groundwater
recharge such that there would be a net deficit
in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local ❑ ��
groundwater table level (e.g., the production
rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to
a level which would not support existing land
uses or planned uses for which permits have
been granted)?

(a through j) The City of Arcadia is located inland, therefore risks associated with a tsunami are minimal.
Portions of the community are located within flood hazard areas of four local dams (Eaton Wash Dam,
Sierra Madre Dam, Santa Anita Dam, and the Sawpit Dam). The inundation areas of the Morris S. Jones
reservoir, located in the City of Sierra Madre, also extends into the community. The City of Arcadia will
continue to work with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works to maintain stormwater
management facilities to maintain safety for residents.
•
• In addition, the Housing Element contains an action for the City to consider affordable housing
development within certain areas at density levels greater than 30 dwelling units per acre. Since this will
occur in only specific areas of the City, the Element will not result in a significant increase in development
above that allowed by the General Plan or evaluated in the General Plan EIR. All future development within
Arcadia will be subject to site specific environmental studies as determined by the City and will comply with
applicable policies related to water issues. Less than significant impact will occur.
IX. LAND USE AND PLANNING -Would the
•
project:
a) Physically divide an established ❑ ❑ ❑
community?
b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan,
policy, or regulation of an agency with
jurisdiction over the project (including, but not
limited to the general plan, specific plan, local ❑ ❑ ❑
coastal program, or zoning ordinance)
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or
mitigating an environmental effect?
•
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat
conservation plan or natural community ❑ ❑ ❑. ►2
conservation plan?
(a through c) The proposed project involves adopting the 2000-2005 Housing Element. It will not physically
divide an established community. The Housing Element supports land use designations and policies set
forth in the City General plans to provide opportunities for development of commercial and mixed use
projects close to local services and facilities. No habitat conservation plans or natural community
conservation plans exist in the project area. No impact will result.
X. MINERAL RESOURCES--Would the
project:
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known
mineral resource that would be of value to the ❑ ❑ ® ❑
region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally ❑ �� ❑
important mineral resource recovery site
delineated on a local general plan, specific

plan or other land use plan?
(a and b) Three different mineral resource zones are located within the City designated by the California
Department of Mines and Geology. Of these areas, only the Livingston-Graham sand and gravel extraction
site, the southern portion which is located within Arcadia, has been evaluated as available for future mining
extraction. Sand and gravel extraction is currently occurring in the northern portion of the site in the City of
Irwindale. Since the possibility of resuming mining activities within the portion of the site which is located
within Arcadia remains, the Arcadia General Plan identifies land uses compatible with future mining
extraction activities on land located adjacent to the quarry. In addition, the City will continue to minimize •
safety hazards and adverse environmental effects on any future mining operations. The proposed Housing
Element works within the framework of the City General Plan and EIR and will not result in the loss of known
mineral resources. No impact will result.
XI. NOISE Would the project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of
• noise levels in excess of standards
established in the local general plan or noise ❑ ❑ ❑
ordinance, or applicable standards of other
agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of ❑ ❑ ❑
excessive groundborne vibration or
groundborne noise levels?

project?
e) For a project located within an airport land
use plan or, where such a plan has not been
adopted, within two miles of a public airport or ❑ ❑ ® ❑

(a through f) The proposed project will not result in a significant increase in development above that
evaluated in the Arcadia General Plan and EIR. In addition, existing City policies regarding noise related to
construction activities and the Community Noise Assessment Development Performance Standards
adopted by the City will limit future noise impacts. Less than significant impact will result.
The proposed project area does not contain an airport. Therefore, the project would not result in an
exposure of people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels. Future development
•
will be subject to compliance with existing noise regulations. Less than significant impact will result. •
XII. POPULATION AND HOUSING--Would
the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an
area, either directly (for example, by proposing
new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for ❑ ❑ ® 0 •
example, through extension of roads or other
infrastructure)?
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing •
❑
housing, necessitating the construction of ❑ ❑ ���
replacement housing elsewhere?
•
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, ❑
necessitating the construction of replacement ❑ ❑
housing elsewhere?
(a through c) The Housing Element sets forth an action to increase the residential density to greater than 30
units per acre for affordable residential development in certain areas. However, with only affect a limited
amount of properties within the City. Therefore, implementation of the Housing Element will not result in a
significant change regarding the location, distribution, density, or growth rate of the City's population.
Impact will be less than significant.
The objective of increasing residential development density in limited areas included in the proposed
project is to ensure that the City provides a range of housing choices in type and price for its current and
future residents, consistent with the goals and policies of the Arcadia General Plan.
No housing or people will be displaced as a result of implementing the Housing Element.
XIII. PUBLIC SERVICES
a) Would the project result in substantial
adverse physical impacts associated with the •
provision of new or physically altered
governmental facilities, need for new or
physically altered governmental facilities,the
construction of which could cause significant
environmental impacts, in order to maintain

The proposed project will not result in a significant increase in housing development and associated
resident population beyond that established in the General Plan. The proposed density increase for
affordable housing projects in commercial and industrial areas will affect only a small portion of properties
within the City. Therefore, the level of impact will be less than significant. No need to construct new or
alter existing fire or police protection facilities, parks, or other public facilities will result. The provision of
additional classroom capacity to accommodate children from the additional units is not anticipated to result
in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with construction or alternation of school facilities. The
Arcadia Unified School District conducts the required environmental review for all facilities and
improvement projects to reduce any potential impacts. The new housing development will pay the school
fees prescribed by State law as the sole means of mitigating school impacts. Impact will be less than
significant.
•
XIV. RECREATION
a) Would the project increase the use of
existing neighborhood and regional parks or ❑ ❑
other recreational facilities such that
substantial physical deterioration of the facility
would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational
•
facilities or require the construction or
expansion of recreational facilities which might LI 0
have an adverse physical effect on the
environment?
(a and b) A number of local and regional parks are located throughout Arcadia. Larger recreational
facilities include the Arcadia County Park, the Los Angles County Arboretum, Peck Road Park and the
Santa Anita Golf Course. In addition, eighteen smaller community parks are located throughout the City.
These active and passive parks are located within a one-mile radius of all residential development in the
City.
The Housing Element contains an action to consider increasing affordable housing development in certain
areas of the City at density levels greater than 30 units per acre. However, since the City is approaching
build out, this would impact only a limited number of properties. Less than significant impact will result.

XV.TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC--Would the
project: •
a) Cause an increase in traffic which is
substantial in relation to the existing traffic load
and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in ❑ ❑ ® ❑
a substantial increase in either the number of
•
vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on
roads, or congestion at intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a
level of service standard established by the ❑ ❑ ►� ❑
county congestion management agency for
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns,
including either an increase in traffic levels or a • ❑ ❑ ❑ ►�
change in location that results in substantial
safety risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards due to a
design feature (e.g., sharp curves or ❑ ❑ ❑ ►�
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses
(e.g., farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access? ❑ ❑
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? ❑ ❑
g) Conflict with adopted policies, plans, or ❑ ❑
programs supporting alternative transportation ❑
(e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
(a through g) The Housing Element sets forth an action to pursue affordable residential development within
• certain areas at density levels greater than 30 units per acre. The project has the potential to increase the
residential development potential within the City above the level currently allowed by the City's adopted
General Plan and evaluated in the General Plan EIR. However, given the limited amount of vacant land
available in Arcadia, this would only occur in a small number of areas within the City. Furthermore, the
proposed Housing Plan supports the implementation of mixed-use development. The development of
residential uses within commercial and retail areas has the potential of encouraging alternative modes of
transportation such as bicycling or walking which will result in a reduction of vehicle trips. The proposed
project involves adoption of the 2000-2005 Housing Element that does not involve air traffic patterns. The
proposed project does not include any design changes to the local roadway network or introduce
incompatible uses. Less than significant impact will result.

human beings, either directly or indirectly?
(a through c) The Housing Element of the Arcadia General Plan is a five-year policy document that
addresses the State's housing goal of attaining a decent home and suitable living environment for every
resident in the City. While the Housing Element recommends that the City pursue increased residential
densities within commercial and industrial areas for development of affordable housing, this would occur in
limited areas of the City. Furthermore, if implemented, the increased density will only result in impacts that
are less than significant. Contribution to cumulative impacts is considered minimal.
