Recommendation: Reject all bids for the renovation of the City Council
Chambers and Conference Room and the HVAC System Modifications.
•
SUMMARY
As part of the 2001-2002 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved
funds in the amount of $302,500 for the renovation of the City Council Chambers and
Conference Room and $544,000 for the improvements to the HVAC System for both
the Council Chambers and City Hall. Design plans for the City Council Chamber HVAC
system improvements have been combined with the Council Chambers renovation
plans and advertised for bids in May.
The City Clerk opened bids for this project on July 2, 2002. Three bids were received
with the apparent low bid from Universal Construction & Maintenance in the amount of
$362,000.00. The difference between the high and low bid is over $175,000 with the
highest bid at $537,638.00. Subsequent to the bid opening, Universal Construction &
Maintenance requested withdrawal of their bid claiming that a clerical error was made
resulting in a $144,000 shortfall. Because of the Contractors request, the spread of the
three bids and the low number of bidders, staff recommends that the City Council reject •
all bids for the Renovation of the City Council Chambers and Conference Room and
HVAC System project. The project will be re-advertised for bids.
DISCUSSION
The City Council chambers and conference room are in need of renovation. The wall
coverings are old and deteriorating; the carpet is worn and stained; the chairs are worn
and several are broken, and the chambers presentation area and the conference room
table are not compatible with new technology. The conference room ceiling has shifted
and the panels are no longer aligned with the interior walls.

The project will include new carpeting, chairs, wall coverings, lighting and painting for
the two rooms and parts of the lobby. The chambers' dais will be resurfaced and the
podium area will be reconfigured to "open up" the stage area and house the television
monitor in a cabinet. The project will include new audio/visual equipment for the
chamber and electrical and telecommunications wiring for the conference room table.
A separate project was proposed in the CIP to modify and reconfigure the HVAC
System for the Council Chambers and the Upper and Lower City Hall buildings. Since
the City Hall portion has been placed on hold pending the outcome of the renovation
study, the HVAC system modifications to the Council Chambers have been added to
the renovation project.
The project is anticipated to take four months to complete and will require the
temporary closure of the building for the construction. During the construction period
the City Council meetings will be held at the Library. Included in the project budget is
the cost for broadcasting the council meetings at the library.
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised and published in local and trade publications.
The City Clerk publicly opened three (3) qualified bids on July 2, 2002. The bid results
are as follows:
Bidders Location Amount
Universal Construction & Maintenance San Pedro, CA $362,000.00
L.A. Builders, Inc. Van Nuys, CA $448,000.00
SBS Corporation Pasadena, CA $537,638.00
Subsequent to the bid opening, Universal Construction & Maintenance requested
withdrawal of their bid claiming that a clerical error was made resulting in a $144,000
shortfall. Their correct bid amount would have been $506,000, placing them above the
second low bidder by over $50,000. The Public Contracts Code allows for relief to
bidders where a mistake was made in filling out the bid that materially changed the bid.
Because of the spread of the bids and the low number of bidders, staff recommends
that all bids be rejected and the project be re-bid. The project will be re-advertised for
bids immediately and will be brought back to the City Council for award of contract in
approximately 5 to 7 weeks.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project is categorically exempt per Section 15301 class 1(a) from the requirements
of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Development Services Department
Date: July 16, 2002
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director
Martha Eros, Transportation Services Officer 0/t7),
Subject: Implement a Non-Emergency Medical Appointment Transportation Program.
Recommendation: Approve a pilot program to transport Arcadia senior
citizens and disabled persons to hospital facilities outside the city limits.
SUMMARY
• In response to a request by the Arcadia Senior Citizen Commission (Commission),
Arcadia Transit proposes to implement a 12-month pilot program to provide
non-emergency medical transportation to specific hospital facilities outside the city limits
for the purpose of accessing medical appointments and treatments. Within the city,
Arcadia Transit has long provided medical trips to Methodist Hospital and local medical
buildings. Neighboring cities such as Sierra Madre, Monrovia, Temple City, Alhambra
and Pasadena currently provide medical transport to its senior and disabled population
to specific medical sites within a five (5) mile radius of their city limits.
Because of the distance and travel time needed to access the medical facilities
identified as "desired destinations" by the Commission, these medical trips are projected
to be costly (reference "Cost Estimates" below) and result in low—specifically, one—
passenger per revenue hour performance due to longer travel and deadhead time per
trip. In recognition of probable high costs and the uncertain level of demand for this
service, it is proposed that the program be initiated using only a single vehicle from the
existing fleet during the pilot program.
It is envisioned that the Medical Appointment Transportation program will operate for
one fiscal year (July-02 through June-03) and, during the last two months of this period,
assessed for continuation, modification or termination.
DISCUSSION
Two options exist for the delivery of these Medical Appointment Transportation services:
(1) inclusion within the current Arcadia Transit contract with Southland Transportation
Inc., or (2) operation via a taxicab voucher service. These options have different
estimated annual costs as well as marked advantages and disadvantages.
J
1. OPERATION AS AN ADJUNCT TO ARCADIA TRANSIT
This program can be implemented expeditiously by increasing the level of services
under the existing contract with Southland Transportation Inc. This new program can
utilize an existing Arcadia Transit vehicle —thus eliminating the need to purchase a new
vehicle — as well as the existing .trained drivers, reservations and dispatch staff, and
management structure used to operate the current Dial-A-Ride service. Southland
Transit reservations staff, using a database from the Arcadia Senior Services program,
will verify the eligibility of callers. Currently, the Senior Services staff qualifies seniors
and disabled persons (based on Social Security eligibility documents) for an Arcadia
Transit Photo Identification Card that allows eligible residents to ride Arcadia Transit at
a discounted rate; The same eligibility process and I.D. cards can be used to identify
riders for the Medical Appointment Transportation program.
Estimated Cost: Based on weekday operation and availability of a single vehicle in
service from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, this program could operate a total of 2,540 annual
hours of service. Southland Transportation has indicated to City staff that the Tier 3
reimbursement rate for Arcadia Transit ($22.70 per vehicle hour) would apply to this
service for the FY02-03 period. Using this rate, the Medical Appointment Transportation
program could cost a total of $57,658 from July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003, if the
vehicle operated during all hours of possible service.
Establishing a flat passenger fare of either $2.00 or $5.00 per one-way trip reduces the
amount of subsidized cost of service to the City by 9% and 22%, respectively. If the
City were to require a per passenger fare of $2.00 per one-way trip, annual fare
revenues of $5,080 [2,540 annual trips X $2.00 per trip] would reduce the net cost of
this program to $52,578. The average net cost to the City per trip under this option
would be $20.70.
If the per passenger fare is established at $5.00 per one-way trip, the annual,', fare
revenue generated would total $12,700 [2,540 annual trips X $5.00 per trip] and the net
cost of this program to the City would be $44,958. The average net cost per trip under
this option would be $17.70.
• 2,540 Annual Service Hours X $22.70 per vehicle hour = $57,658
• 2,540 ASH X $22.70 per vehicle hour less $2.00 fare = $52,578
• 2,540 ASH X $22.70 per vehicle hour less $5.00 fare = $44,958
Vehicle: The graphics and color scheme for the Medical Appointment Transportation
vehicle should be unique and distinct from the existing Arcadia Transit fleet to identify it
as a separate service. Changing the appearance of the vehicle will eliminate
assumptions by the general public that Arcadia Transit Dial-A-Ride has expanded its
service area beyond the city limits. The estimated cost to change the graphics on one
existing transit vehicle is $800.
Should operational and maintenance requirements prove that an additional vehicle is
needed to ensure the reliability of Arcadia Transit Dial-A-Ride service in parallel with
2 C:;..`,Medical ru p Co u„ai riq,.,;t_7-1e.0
• r_
this new program, representatives from bus vehicle dealers have determined that
suitable new buses can be obtained within 60 to 90 days of order for an estimated
$50,000.
Number of Trips Provided: Due to the long distances (miles) anticipated with,this
service and its special nature, it is projected that an average of one (1) one-way
passenger trip will be provided for each vehicle service hour operated, for a total annual
productivity of 2,540 passenger trips. Therefore, a typical medical trip to a location
outside the City can take two (2) hours, serving a maximum of five (5) passengers per
day. It is highly unlikely that multiple requests/passengers can be coordinated at the
same time/hour to the same destination.
2. OPERATION AS A TAXI-BASED VOUCHER SERVICE
An alternative to using a dedicated, accessible transit vehicle for operation of the
Medical Appointment Transportation service would be to enable eligible residents to call
designated local taxicab companies for transportation. This approach would avoid any
purchase of vehicles by the City and would make use of an existing, highly flexible
transportation resource in the form of existing local taxi companies.
If implemented as a taxi-based program, the City would need to establish an eligibility
process for residents wanting to use this program, set up a system of vouchers or other
controls on the number of trips being provided, and a rigorous system of monitoring of
service quality and accounting for program costs and reimbursement. It is estimated
that these administrative requirements could necessitate adding up to 0.5 FTE to the
City staff for clerical support.
Once a resident is qualified as eligible to make Medical Appointment trips, they would
be provided with a list of taxicab providers who have been enrolled in the program and
the individual could telephone their trip request to any of these companies.
Authorization of multiple taxi companies would allow the resident to choose the provider
and would avoid the City having to undertake a competitive bid process for this
program. On taking a Medical Appointment trip, the passenger would present: their
voucher to the taxi driver along with their required fare (discussed above under
"Estimated Cost"). This process would be repeated for both the outbound (home to
medical destination) and return (medical destination to home) trips.
After a trip has'been provided, the taxi operator would present the City with a monthly
invoice for the trips actually carried with the completed vouchers as documentation of
those trips.
Estimated Cost: A major difference between taxi-based services and a dedicated
service (i.e., Arcadia Transit) is that the taxi operator is paid by the City for the mileage
incurred when actually providing transportation as opposed to the total hours of service
operated by the vehicle. Also, because taxi companies generally have a number of cabs
available at any one time, there is greater availability of service at any one time, which
3 C':\...\Medical Trips_Coancil Report.7••tri-02
requires that controls be set on the number of trips which can be made and for which
the City is responsible.
Using the number of trips estimated above for the dedicated service option -- 2,540
annual trips — an assumed average trip length of 7 miles and taxi fare data collected
from area companiesa the annual cost of a taxi-based program, including added City
staff to administer the program would be approximately $50,652.
Per trip cost = $1.90 flag drop + ($1.70 per mile X 7 miles) = $13.80
Annual taxi cost = $13.80 X 2,540 annual trips = $35,052
City staff cost = 0.50 FTE X $19.44b per hour = $20,280
Annual total cost of taxi-based program = $55,332
Number of Trips Provided: The same number of passenger trips — 2,540 annual trips —
is assumed under the taxi option to compare the two operational options. While more
trips could be provided under a taxi program, there would need to be administrative
processes to limit trip use to stay within the approved program parameters.
Net Cost to City: If the City were to require the same per passenger fare of $2.00 per
one-way trip, the taxi-based program would generate annual fare revenues of $5,080
[2,540 annual trips X $2.00'per trip] and the net cost of this program to the City would
be $50,252: The average net cost per trip under this option would be .$19.78.
A passenger fare of $5.00 per one-way trip would generate annual fare revenues of
$12,700 [2,540 annual trips X $5.00 per trip] with a net cost of $42,632. The average
net cost per trip under this option would be $16.78.
• 2,540 Annual Trips X $13.80 per trip + $20,280 FTE cost = $55,332
• 2,540 Annual Trips + FTE cost less $2.00 fare = $50,252
• 2,540 Annual Trips + FTE cost less $5.00 fare = $42,632
ANALYSIS
While the taxi-based option for operating the' Medical Appointment Transportation
program is attractive for its slightly lower net cost and the flexibility to provide multiple
trips at the same time, this option has significant downsides to the City. In addition to.
increased supervision and staffing needed to establish passenger eligibility, approve.
and regulate the number of trip miles, monitor delivery of service and process monthly
billings, the use of taxicabs to provide this service and the high likelihood of attracting
increased trip demand due to the personal attractiveness of taxis could lead to requests
from local residents for expansion of the existing Dial-A-Ride service to a taxi-based
program within the city and for other non-medical trip purposes. Furthermore, the City
of Pico Rivera Dial-A-Ride has eliminated taxi service from its program and the City of
Glendale Dial-A-Ride (which has operated a taxi-based voucher service to its seniors
a Five local taxicab companies were surveyed on March 20, 2002, for rate data. Flag drop charges ranged
from $1.60 to$1.90 and additional mile costs from $1.60 to$1.80 per mile.
b Based on hourly wage for Administrative Assistant position, plus 30% for fringe benefits.
4 C,...1\kdical'i'dps._Council Report 7-Ir.02
for over 12 years) will significantly reduce taxi-based service due to performance,
reliability and credibility issues of independent taxi providers.
As a pilot program and, particularly since vehicle resources are available from the
Arcadia Transit fleet, it is recommended that this program be initiated through
' expansion of the existing Southland Transportation contract rather than pursue the taxi-
based option. Southland Transit and City staff will track the demand for medical
appointments to coordinate an effective method of scheduling passengers and vehicle
service hours to avoid "down" time of the medical transit vehicle.
In addition to the neighboring cities mentioned earlier in the report that provide Dial-A-
Ride medical transportation, Glendora, Azusa, Claremont, West Covina, and Diamond
Bar are a few of the cities in the San Gabriel region that also provide subsidized medical
transportation to its senior and disabled population. If a significant level of need for
Medical Appointment Transportation is established through the pilot program and the
City wishes to expand these services beyond the use of a single vehicle, then use of
taxis or the purchase of additional transit vehicles can be reconsidered at a later date.
Upon City Council approval, the Medical Appointment Transportation program could be
implemented in an estimated eight-week period. Action items include preparing an
existing transit vehicle for service (different logo, paint scheme), develop and implement
a community •information campaign, produce Medical Appointment Transportation
service brochures, and obtain regional transit approval to begin operation of service.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient local transit funds are available to support the increase of service to senior
and disabled residents of .Arcadia. Proposition C Discretionary — Municipal Operator
Service Improvement Program (MOSIP) funds can be programmed in the new;fiscal
year to support the new Medical Appointment Transportation program.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director k,•
By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator,,
Prepared by: Thomas Li, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration of Zone Change Application No. Z 02-001 to rezone the
property located at 1510-1516 S. Baldwin Avenue from C-2 (General
Commercial) to R-3 (Multiple-Family Residential).
Recommendation: Approve zone change
SUMMARY
Zone Change Application No. Z 02-001 was submitted by Hank Jong, to rezone the
northerly 23.4' wide portion of the property located at 1510-1516 S. Baldwin Avenue
from C-2 to R=3.
•
The Planning Commission at its June 11, 2002 meeting voted 5-0 to recommend
approval of the requested Zone Change from C-2 to R-3. The Development
Services Department is recommending approval of this Zone Change.
BACKGROUND
On March 19, 2002, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment to
change the land use designation of the subject property located at 1510-1516 South
Baldwin Avenue from "Commercial" to "Multiple-Family Residential (24 du/ac max.)".
The southerly 100'-0" of the property is currently zoned R-3 and developed with four
multiple-family units constructed in 1950. The R-3 designation is consistent with the
current General Plan classification. The northerly 23.4' wide portion of the property
is zoned C-2 and developed with a cleaners. The C-2 zoning designation of this
portion is inconsistent with the "Multiple-Family Residential (24 du/ac max.)" General
Plan designation.
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing cleaners and multiple-family units
and develop the site with nine (9) condominium units that would. be consistent with
the zoning and the general plan.
LASER IMAGED
-
In order to subdivide a property into condominium units, State law requires that the
zoning and the general plan be consistent.
DISCUSSION
The property contains 20,189 square feet and is currently zoned R-3 and C-2. The
applicant is requesting to change the C-2 zoning of the northerly 23.4' wide strip of
property at 1510-1516 S. Baldwin Avenue (Parcel 2 of TR 5907) to R-3 which will be
consistent with the zoning of the southerly 100'-0" of this property. The purpose of
this request is to bring the zoning into. consistency with the "Multiple-Family" (24
du/ac max.) General Plan land use designation.
If the zone change is approved, the Tentative Map for the proposed nine-unit
condominium project will be subject to Planning Commission review.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission at is June 11, 2002 meeting voted 5 to 0 to recommend to
the City Council approval of the requested zone change.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed
project. Said initial, study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial-
adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the
project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of
historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is
no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been drafted for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
This Zone Change would not have any direct fiscal impact on the City.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve Zone Change Application No. Z 02-001 to change
the zoning for the northerly 23.4' portion of the properties at 1510-1516 South
Baldwin Avenue from C-2 to R-3.

Approval
If the City Council determines that this Zone Change is appropriate and it is
deemed to be in the public interest, the City Council should adopt the Negative
Declaration and direct the Development Services Department to prepare the
appropriate Ordinance for adoption at a later meeting.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Don Penman, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Diirrector 's
By: Donna Butler, Community Development Administrator '
Prepared by: Thomas Li, Assistant Planner 1--'
SUBJECT: Consideration of Zone Change Application No. Z 02-001 to rezone the
property located at 1510-1516 S. Baldwin Avenue from C-2 (General
Commercial) to R-3 (Multiple-Family Residential).
Recommendation: Approve zone change
SUMMARY —
Zone Change Application No. Z 02-001 was submitted by Hank Jong, to rezone the
northerly 23.4' wide portion of the property located at 1510-1516 S. Baldwin Avenue
from C-2 to R-3.
The Planning Commission at its June 11 , 2002 meeting voted 5-0 to recommend
approval of the requested Zone Change from C-2 to R-3. The Development
Services Department is recommending approval of this Zone Change.
BACKGROUND
On March 19, 2002, the City Council approved a General Plan Amendment to
change the land use designation of the subject property located at 1510-1516 South
Baldwin Avenue from "Commercial" to "Multiple-Family Residential (24 du/ac max.)".
The southerly 100'-0" of the property is currently zoned R-3 and developed with four
multiple-family units constructed in 1950. The R-3 designation is consistent with the
current General Plan classification. The northerly 23.4' wide portion of the property
is zoned C-2 and developed with a cleaners. The C-2 zoning designation of this
portion is inconsistent with the "Multiple-Family Residential (24 du/ac max.)" General
Plan designation.
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing cleaners and multiple-family units
and develop the site with nine (9) condominium units that would be consistent with
the zoning and the general plan.
LASER IMAGED
de
/ /1 g../C12-
In order to subdivide a property into condominium units, State law requires that the
zoning and the general plan be consistent.
DISCUSSION
The property contains 20,189 square feet and is currently zoned R-3 and C-2. The
applicant is requesting to change the C-2 zoning of the northerly 23.4' wide strip of
property at 1510-1516 S. Baldwin Avenue (Parcel 2 of TR 5907) to R-3 which will be
consistent with the zoning of the southerly 100'-0" of this -property. The purpose of
this request is to bring the zoning into, consistency with the "Multiple-Family" (24
du/ac max.) General Plan land use designation.
If the zone change is approved, the Tentative Map for the proposed nine-unit
condominium project will be subject to Planning Commission review.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission at is June 11 , 2002 meeting voted 5 to 0 to recommend to
the City Council approval of the requested zone change.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed
project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial
adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the
project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of
historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is
no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been drafted for this project.
FISCAL IMPACT
This Zone Change would not have any direct fiscal impact on the City.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve Zone Change Application No. Z 02-001 to change
the zoning for the northerly 23.4' portion of the properties at 1510-1516 South
Baldwin Avenue from C-2 to R-3.

deemed to be in the public interest, the City Council should adopt the Negative
Declaration and direct the Development Services Department to prepare the
appropriate Ordinance for adoption at a later meeting.
Denial
If the City Council determines that this Zone Change is inappropriate and it is not in
the public. interest, no further action is necessary.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this
project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as
indicated by the checklist on the following pages:
[ ] Aesthetics [ ] Mineral Resources
[ ] Agricultural Resources [ ] Noise
[ ] Air Quality [ ] Population / Housing
[ ] Biological Resources [ ] Public Services
[ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Recreation
[ ] Geology/ Soils • [ ] Transportation / Traffic
[ ] Hazards & Hazardous Materials [ ] Utilities / Service Systems
[ ] Hydrology/ Water Quality [ ] Mandatory Findings of Significance
[ ] Land Use / Planning
DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation: •
[X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions
in the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED •
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
Form "J" -2- CEQA Checklist 4/99
File Nos.: Z 02-001
[ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
[ ] I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potentially significant impact" or
"potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. - An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
[ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
• environment, but because all potentially significant effects (a) have been
analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant
to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation
measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is
required.

Form "J" -3- CEQA Checklist 4/99
.File Nos.: Z 02-UU1
EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately
supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the responses following each question. A
"No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact
simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture
zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well
as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a
project-specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on-site;
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,
or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence
that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the
determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVIII, "Earlier Analyses," must be cross-referenced).
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program ER, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D).
In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the
scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,
and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier
analysis
c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures
Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier
document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project.
6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist, references to information sources for
potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or
outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the
statement is substantiated.
7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources, uses or
individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead
agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's
environmental effects in whatever format is selected.
9. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a) The significant criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.

I. AESTHETICS—Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not
limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings
within a state scenic highway? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality
of the site and its surroundings? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare, which would
adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? [ ] [ ] [X] [
The project and the eventual development of the proposed 9 residential units will be a new source of
light, but will not adversely affect views in the area.
II. AGRICULTURAL 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 Department of Conservation as an
optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.) Would the project:
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of
Statewide Importance (Farmland) as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-
agricultural use?• [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due
to their location or nature, could result in conversion of
Farmland to non-agricultural use? . [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
There is no agricultural or farmland on the subject property or in the vicinity.
III. AIR QUALITY — (Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality
management or pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations.)
Would the proposal:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable Air
Quality Plan? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to
an existing or projected air quality violation? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any
criteria pollutant for which the project region is non-
attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air
quality standard (including releasing emissions, which
exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant
concentrations? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of
people? [ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
The project and the eventual development of the proposed 9 residential units will not result in any of the
above impacts.
IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES —Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse impact, either 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

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 6317 APPROVING A
NOTICE OF EXEMPTION AND AUTHORIZING THE USE OF REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY FUNDS FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
AGENCY RESOLUTION ARA NO 204 AUTHORIZING THE USE OF
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FUNDS FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
SUMMARY
The Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33445) requires that, if redevelopment
funds are to be used to pay for improvements which will be publicly owned, both within and outside of
the project area, the City Council and the Agency Board must make three findings: a) that the
proposed improvements are of benefit to the Project Area or the immediate neighborhood in which the
project is located; b) that there are no other reasonable means of financing the proposed project
available to the community; c) that the project will assist in the elimination of blighting conditions in the
Project Area and is consistent with the adopted Implementation Plan.
A Summary Report describing the proposed Agency Capital Improvement Projects (Attachment 1)
has been prepared pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33679 setting forth the amount of tax
increment to be used to fund the proposed capital improvements, setting forth the facts to support the
three findings citied above, and describing the redevelopment purposes for which the funds are being
used.
Staff has prepared a Preliminary Exemption Assessment and a Notice of Exemption (NOE)
(Attachment 2) for those projects. The NOE is recommended for adoption by the City Council. Staff
is also recommending that the City Council adopt City Council Resolution No. 6317 (Attachment 3)
and the Redevelopment Agency adopt ARA No. 204 (Attachment 4) making findings pursuant to
Health and Safety Code Sections 33445 and authorizing the use of Redevelopment Agency funds for
Public Improvements comprising the Agency's Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION
The Five Year City-wide Capital Improvement Program (CIP) lists projects of a City-wide nature and
projects serving a larger population in a specific area of the City.. There are other important projects
near or in the Redevelopment Project Area for which no City funds are available or w t le.RGI FADED

high a priority in the City-wide Capital Improvement Program but are important to the Project Area
(e.g., traffic signal or lighting projects, minor sidewalk, roadway, or median reconstruction). Together
these projects constitute the Agency's proposed annual CIP.
Two of the proposed projects are listed below and are described in detail in the Summary Report
(Attachment 1):
1) Amended Santa Anita Entry Corridor Proiect- North Santa Anita, south of the 210 Freeway
The Design component of this project was previously approved as part of the Agency's FY2000-2001
Capital Improvement Program. The approved project concept will retain the existing medians and
large trees. It will also add minor reconstruction of some curb lines and the intersections of Santa
Anita/St. Joseph and Santa Anita/Morlan Place/Wheeler, landscaping, decorative lights, street
furniture, signage, and striping consistent with the improvements on Huntington Drive in order to
improve traffic flow as well as improve the image of the City and the downtown.
The scope of the Design component of the amended FY2002-03 Santa Anita Entry Corridor Project
will include all elements in the previously approved project but will add landscaping along the Caltrans
Right-of-Way adjacent to the 210 Freeway.
(Estimated amended cost for design - $50,000).
2) New Median along Huntington Drive between Morlan Place and Santa Anita Avenue
As part of the Downtown 2000 Project, the median along Huntington Drive from Santa Anita to
Second Avenue was reconstructed and re-landscaped. New medians were installed between Second
Avenue and Fifth Avenue and between Santa Clara Street and Morlan Place. A median was not
constructed between Morlan Place and Santa Anita Avenue as part of the Downtown 2000 Project
because of high project costs.
This project proposes to bridge this gap by constructing a new median on Huntington between Morlan
Place and Santa Anita Avenue with similar types of design and landscaping. This will create a more
cohesive and attractive appearance along Huntington Drive through the Downtown area. Both design
and construction are planned for FY2002-03.
(Estimated cost- $150,000)
Summary Report
Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Sections 33445 and 33679, a Summary Report has
been prepared (Attachment 1) which describes the proposed capital improvements, sets forth the
purpose of the improvements, describes the relationship of each improvement to the Project Area,
describes the amount of Agency funds to be used, and explains why no other funds are available.
Both of the proposed projects will improve traffic flow in the downtown and add to the attractiveness of
the two major arterials, Huntington and Santa Anita. This improved circulation and appearance will
encourage both residents and visitors to shop in the City and in the downtown, providing increased
economic benefits to the project area and City. However, because both projects are of limited benefit
to one area, and the City has adopted other projects using limited Capital Outlay, Gas Tax and
Transportation (Prop C) funds of higher priority, the use of Agency funds is recommended.

SUMMARY REPORT
FISCAL YEARS 2002-2003
AGENCY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Introduction
This summary report has been prepared by the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency
("Agency") consistent with Health and Safety Code Sections 33445 and 33679
and serves to describe several proposed capital improvement projects in and
near the Redevelopment Project Area. This Summary report has been prepared
ih order to explain to the public why Agency tax increment funds are to be used
to pay for these public improvements. A location map showing the general
locations of the proposed improvements is Exhibit A.
The 1999-2004 Agency Implementation Plan was amended on June 20, 2000
(Amendment One). Amendment One added an annual Agency Capital
Improvement Program ("CIP") which included the projects or similar type projects
listed below: .
1. Huntington Drive Median .$150,000
As part of the Downtown 2000 Project, the median along Huntington Drive
from Santa Anita to Second Avenue was reconstructed and re-
landscaped. New medians were installed between Second Avenue and
Fifth Avenue and between Santa Clara Street and Morlan Place. A
median was not constructed between Morlan Place and Santa Anita
Avenue as part of the Downtown 2000 Project because of high project
costs.
This project proposes to bridge this gap by constructing a new median on
Huntington between Morlan Place and Santa Anita Avenue with similar
types of design and landscaping. This will create a more cohesive and
attractive appearance along the Huntington Drive arterial through the
Downtown area. Both design and construction are planned for FY2002-
03.
The new median will benefit the residents and businesses in the project
area by helping with the flow of traffic on Huntington Drive.
Other funding sources like the Capital Outlay Fund, Gas Tax funds and
Prop C (Transportation) funds have been prioritized with projects of the
most benefit to the entire City or to a larger population in a specific area of
the City. Because this proposed median merely closes a block median
"gap" for a small area of the downtown, it is not a high priority for the City
or for other funding sources. Therefore, Redevelopment Agency funds
which are generated from the project area are proposed to fund this
project.
This proposed project is consistent with the 1999-2004 Central .
Redevelopment Project Area Five Year Implementation Plan which was
adopted in December 1999, and amended June 20, 2000.
2. Amended Santa Anita Entry $ 50,000
Corridor Project (Design only)
The Design component of this project was previously approved as part of
the Agency's FY2000-2001 Capital Improvement Program. The approved
project concept will retain the existing medians and large trees. It will also
add minor reconstruction of some curb lines and the intersections of Santa
Anita/St. Joseph and Santa Anita/Morlan Place/Wheeler, landscaping,
decorative lights, street furniture, signage, and striping consistent with the
improvements on Huntington Drive in order to improve traffic flow as well
as improve the image of the City and the downtown.
The scope of the Design component of the amended FY 2002-03 Santa
Anita Entry Corridor Project will include all of the previously approved
items, but will add landscaping to the Caltrans Right-of-Way adjacent to
the 210 Freeway on the south side immediately east and west of Santa
Anita.
This project will enhance the appearance of the north Santa Anita entry to
the project area and the downtown business district. Businesses and
residents will benefit from this project because it will improve arterial traffic
circulation at the intersection of St. Joseph/Santa Anita and Morlan
Place/Wheeler/Santa Anita. It is also a benefit to the project area because
the new streetscape would further enhance the image of the City and the
downtown to the development community as well as to shoppers and
Racetrack patrons who now use Santa Anita and Santa Clara for travel, to
and from the Mall and the Race Track.
Much like the proposed Huntington median, this project is not a high
priority in comparison to other Citywide projects, but will be a benefit to the
project area. Therefore, Redevelopment Agency funds will be used to
fund this project.
This project will help to improve the traffic flow on intersecting arterial &
collector streets and provide the area with the street furniture and

AGENCY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
The following is a description of each project for the proposed Agency Capital
Improvement Programs which are categorically exempt as per CEQA Statutes, Sections
15300 to 15329 Categorical Exemptions.
1.) Amended Santa Anita Entry Corridor Project - North Santa Anita, south of the 210
Freeway (Design only)
The Design component of this project was previously approved as part of the Agency's
FY2000-2001 Capital Improvement Program. •The approved project concept will retain
the existing medians and large trees. It will also add minor reconstruction of some curb
lines and the intersections of Santa Anita/St. Joseph and Santa Anita/Morlan
Place/Wheeler, landscaping, decorative lights, street furniture, signage, and striping
consistent with the improvements on Huntington Drive in order to improve traffic flow as
well as improve the image of the City and the downtown.
The scope of the Design component of the amended FY2002-03 Santa Anita Entry
Corridor Project.will,include all elements in the previously approved project but will add
landscaping along.the Caltrans Right-of-Way adjacent to the 210 Freeway.
State CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15300 to 15329 Categorical Exemptions, Section,
15304: Minor Alterations to Land, Class 4
2) New Median along Huntington Drive between Santa Clara Street and Santa Anita
Avenue
As part of the Downtown 2000 Project, a median along Huntington Drive from Santa
Clara Street to Morlan Place was constructed and landscaped. (There was an existing
median along Huntington Drive between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Street that
was also renovated with new landscaping and monument sign as part of the Downtown
2000 project.) A median was not constructed between Santa Clara Street and Morlan
Place as part of the Downtown 2000 Project due to funding constraints.
This project proposes to bridge this "gap" by constructing a new median along
Huntington Drive between Morlan Place and Santa Anita Avenue with similar types of
design and landscaping.
