SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF MODIFICATION NO. MC 14-12 AND ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN REVIEW NO. ADR 13-42 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION
UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
FOR A NEW FOUR-STORY, 15,615 SQUARE-FOOT, CONTEMPORARY
STYLE, MEDICAL OFFICE AND RETAIL BUILDING AT 205 N. SANTA
ANITA AVENUE
Recommendation: Conditional Approval
SUMMARY
The applicant, Mr. Norberto Nardi, is requesting approval of a Modification and
Architectural Design Review with an exemption from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) for a 15,615 square-foot, four-story, contemporary style, medical
office and retail building at 205 N. Santa Anita Avenue. The applications were
considered by the Modification Committee at a public hearing on October 28, 2014, and
while the Committee supports the proposal, it has been referred to the Planning
Commission because of the prominence of the site. It is recommended that the
Planning Commission approve the proposed project with an exemption from CEQA,
subject to the conditions listed in this staff report.
BACKGROUND
The subject site is approximately 16,414 square feet in size located at the northwest
corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street. It is currently vacant and secured
with perimeter fencing. The site was previously occupied by Bank of America as a
drive-through ATM facility. The property is zoned General Commercial (C-2) with a
Downtown Overlay. The Overlay allows a higher floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.0 for non-
residential uses and a maximum building height of forty-five feet (45’) or four (4) stories.
This modest increase in development intensity (i.e., +0.5 FAR & 1 additional floor and 5
feet) is to encourage the redevelopment of properties to effectuate the vision of the
General Plan, which is for additional hospitality, office, and medical uses that will
complement the Downtown Mixed Use area.
The site is adjacent to a restaurant to the north, and an AT&T facility yard to the west.
The new Rusnak automobile dealership site is across Santa Clara Street to the south,
and the REI store is across Santa Anita Avenue to the east (refer to Attachment No. 2 –

Aerial Photo with Zoning Information, & Attachment No. 3 – Photos of Subject Property
and Neighboring Properties).
This project was presented to the Modification Committee at its October 28, 2014
meeting. The Committee was in support of the Modification request, but decided to
refer this case to the Planning Commission for consideration of the appropriateness of
the design for this prominent site in the Downtown area. The plans included with this
staff report were revised to reduce the amount of louvered area on the building façade,
which was suggested by the Modification Committee.
PROPOSAL
The proposal consists of a four-story (45 feet), 15,615 square-foot, medical office and
retail building, with two levels of subterranean parking, and a small surface parking area
(refer to Attachment No. 1 – Architectural Plans and Renderings). The building will
consist of 3,126 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, and 12,489 square feet
of medical offices on the three floors above. The proposed floor area ratio is 0.95
(maximum FAR is 1.0).
The project will provide 61 parking spaces plus two loading spaces. The surface parking
area will have seven spaces, and 54 spaces will be in the subterranean structure. 58
parking spaces are required, which includes the 25% reduction for commercial uses
located within 1/4 mile of the Gold Line light rail station. Vehicular access to the site will
be from Santa Clara Street with a ‘right-in/right-out’ only driveway that is to be
decoratively enhanced with pavers or stamped concrete.
The project is subject to a Modification for the proposed landscaping of the surface
parking area, which does not meet the minimum 10% requirement. Otherwise, the
project complies with all other zoning regulations.
ANALYSIS
Building Design and Site Planning
The project location is a prominent corner in the Downtown area, and careful thought
and consideration has been put into the design and site planning to activate the
streetscape and be compatible with the overall context of this commercial corridor. A
special effort was made to ensure that the design includes pedestrian-oriented design
features and has massing that shows consideration of the other buildings in the vicinity.
The proposed building is of modern/contemporary design and incorporates a significant
amount of glazing, including approximately 12-foot high windows on the ground floor, an
open entry plaza between the two wings of the building, and metal accent louvers on
the first two floors and over the entrance plaza. The amount and locations of the louvers
were reduced significantly from the initial design review submittal, and the building color
has been changed from a yellow brass to a light bronze with a satin finish. And, the
upper two floors have been stepped back to reduce the bulk and mass of the structure.

205 N. Santa Anita Avenue

Page 3 of 5
The building is proposed to be close to the Santa Anita Avenue/Santa Clara Street
sidewalks, but the open entry plaza at the corner will provide space for a meeting area
with seating areas. This configuration is aesthetically and functionally preferable.
Having the new building close to the street and aligned with the other buildings along
this commercial corridor, ensures that the parking areas will not act as an obstacle to
pedestrian activity, and avoids the unattractive, “sea of parking” appearance typical of
older strip commercial developments.
Parking Lot Landscaping Modification
The Municipal Code requires that 10% of surface parking lot areas be landscaped. The
proposed project provides landscaping for only 8.6% percent of the parking lot. Another
136 square feet of landscaping is needed to meet the Code requirement. Landscaping
of the surface parking area of this project is difficult due to the configuration of the
building and the subterranean parking structure, which complicates the use of trees on
the surface. Because the proposal provides three parking spaces over the Code
requirement, one of the surface parking spaces could be replaced with landscaping to
meet the Code requirement.
An additional surface parking space is preferable to meeting the minimum landscaping
requirement since the parking lot will not face the street frontages, and therefore will not
be a visible feature of the development. The proposal places much of the landscaping
near the entrance driveway where it will be somewhat visible.
FINDINGS
Section 9292.1.4 of the Arcadia Municipal Code requires that for a Modification to be
granted, it must be found that one of the following purposes is served:
1. The Modification will secure an appropriate improvement of a lot
2. The Modification will prevent an unreasonable hardship
3. The Modification will promote uniformity of development
Based on the above analysis, the requested Modification will secure an appropriate
improvement of the lot. Also, the proposed contemporary design has appropriate
massing and architectural finishes, and is therefore consistent with the City’s
architectural design guidelines.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The proposed project qualifies as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for infill developments
per Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. A traffic study was prepared for this project
and the analysis demonstrated that there will be no significant impacts to any of the
nearby intersections. See Attachment No. 4 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment
and traffic study.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report documents the results of a traffic impact analysis completed for the proposed medical office building
at the northwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Avenue. This study was performed in accordance
with the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP) guidelines for completing a traffic study
under the direction of City of Arcadia staff.
Based upon the analysis documented in this report, the following are our conclusions and recommendations:
§The proposed development includes the construction of a new 16,150 square foot medical building on
the northwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Avenue. The development also includes the
installation of one access driveway on Santa Clara Avenue which will operate as right in right out only.
§The medical office development would generate 584 net daily weekday trips, 39 (31 inbound, 8
outbound) net trips in the AM peak hour (7-9am), and 58 (16 inbound, 42 outbound) net trips in the PM
peak hour (4-6pm).
§According to the site plan received from the architect, Nardi Associates LLP, adequate site access has
been provided. The project proposes one driveway on Santa Clara Avenue west of the Santa Anita Ave
and Santa Clara Ave intersection.
§Based on the County of Los Angeles Congestion Management Program (CMP) requirements, there
would be no significant impacts resulting from the proposed expansion project. Accordingly, no
mitigation measures are required for this project.

STUDY METHODOLOGY
This document analyzes the study area intersection traffic conditions under the following three scenarios:
·Existing (2013) Weekday
·Existing (2013) + Ambient Growth + Cumulative projects Weekday
·Existing (2013) + Ambient Growth + Cumulative + Project Weekday
The medical office is expected to be constructed and operating by the year 2015. Analysis of traffic that will be
generated from cumulative projects (approved developments) includes projects that are expected to be developed
and operational by the year 2015 in proximity (2 mile radius) of the proposed Project. Due to an ambient increase
in traffic as a result of urban growth, a conservative annual growth rate of 2% was utilized per discussions with
City of Arcadia staff. This growth is accounted for between the year of the traffic counts and the build out year,
2015.
Four intersections were identified in consultation with City staff for analyzing potential peak-hour project traffic
impacts during weekdays.Table 1 presents the study area intersections, their control, and jurisdiction. These four
intersections were chosen and analyzed because they are within a quarter mile radiusand act as the most likely
access routes to the site. Since these intersections receive the largest portion of the trips generated by this new
project, they could potentially be impacted by the additional traffic. Further intersections were not analyzed
because they did not meet these conditions.

Intersection Level of Service Analysis Criteria
The CMP traffic analysis guidelines require the use of the Intersection Capacity Utilization (ICU) method to
calculate the intersection LOS.Table 2 presents the capacity utilization ratio and the corresponding LOS, using
the ICU methodology.

The City of Arcadia utilizes CMP traffic impact study guidelines that define a ‘significant traffic impact’ as an
increase in demand by at least 2% where the intersection would operate at LOS F with project traffic.
Analysis of Existing (2013) traffic conditions is based upon traffic counts provided by the City of Arcadia. The
traffic count worksheets are provided inAppendix A. The weekday peak-hour intersection traffic counts were
conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. (AM peak), and 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. (PM peak) on typical
weekdays while school was in session, during May 2011 and September 2012. To obtain existing 2013
conditions from this data, the counts were increased by a 2% per year growth factor from the year of the counts to
the year of our base condition (i.e. 2013). These values were used as the existing 2013 condition mentioned in the
methodology.

EXISTING (2013) CONDITIONS
A description of study area roadways and analysis of existing intersection operating conditions is provided in the
following paragraphs.
Study Area Roadway Descriptions
Santa Anita Avenue is located adjacent to the project site. Santa Anita Avenue is a north-south primary arterial
roadway with two to three travel lanes in each direction. The street provides for regional travel in the San Gabriel
Valley and carries moderate to heavy volumes of traffic. Access to the project site is provided from the Foothill
(I-210) Freeway via Santa Anita Avenue. The posted speed limit on Santa Anita Avenue is 40 mph.
Colorado Boulevard is located ½ mile north of the project site. Colorado Boulevard is an east-west collector
roadway with two lanes in each direction. The posted speed limit on Colorado Boulevard is 35 mph.
Santa Clara Street is located adjacent to the project site. Santa Clara Street is an east-west secondary arterial
with two lanes in each direction west of Santa Anita Avenue and a collector roadway with one lane in each
direction east of Santa Anita Avenue in the downtown area. The posted speed limit on Santa Clara Street is 35
mph.
Huntington Drive is located one quarter mile from the project site. Huntington Drive is an east-west major
arterial west of Colorado Place and a primary arterial east of Colorado Place that provides for regional east-west
travel in the San Gabriel Valley. The street has four lanes in each direction west of Colorado Place and two lanes
in each direction east of Colorado Place. The posted speed limit on Huntington is 30 mph between Fifth Street
and Colorado Place and 45 mph west of Colorado Place.
Table 3 presents the Existing (2013) peak-hour intersection operating conditions. The existing study area
intersection approach lane configurations utilized for all analysis scenarios are illustrated inFigure 3. Existing
weekday peak-hour traffic volumes at each study area intersection are illustrated inFigure 4.

CUMULATIVE PROJECTS + AMBIENT GROWTH
Traffic volumes expected to be generated from cumulative projects (approved development projects) were utilized
to simulate future traffic conditions after the cumulative projects are built and become occupied/operational in the
year 2015 when the proposed medical office is expected to be completed. Cumulative project information was
obtained from the City of Arcadia. Trip generation rates for these cumulative projects, were calculated per the
Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 9th Edition. Five projects were identified in
consultation with city staff as cumulative projects for the cumulative 2015 land analysis.
As part of the increase in traffic due to cumulative projects being completed, analysis will also account for the
ambient traffic growth due to time passing between the existing condition (date of traffic counts) and completion
of the project(s). For the purposes of this report, the ambient growth rate is approximately 2% per year and is
compounded each year. This growth rate was applied from the existing condition (date of traffic counts) to the
opening year. For trips generated by the Cumulative + Ambient growth condition, see ICU analysis in Appendix
B.
Table 4 presents the cumulative trips generated by these five projects on weekdays. The locations of the five
cumulative projects are illustrated inFigure 5. Cumulative + Ambient project intersection traffic volumes are
illustrated inFigure 6.

Near-Future Transportation Improvements
Construction is currently underway for an extension of the Metro Gold Line from its current terminal station at
Sierra Madre Villa to Montclair through Arcadia. A station to serve the City will be located between Santa Anita
Avenue and First Avenue, adjacent to Front Street. The Gold Line crossing at Santa Anita Avenue will have a
grade separation while the crossing at First Avenue and Santa Clara will be at grade. The project will include the
following improvements that may impact this project:
·Restriping of the Santa Anita Avenue and Colorado Boulevard intersection with two southbound to
eastbound lefts.
·Restriping of the Santa Anita Avenue at Santa Clara Street intersection with one eastbound shared
through and right and two eastbound to northbound lefts.
·An 8-phase traffic signal system at Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street with existing striping and
lane configuration.
Project-specific trip generation numbers were derived from the study’s existing conditions (2005) and full
build out year (2030) Traffix outputs. These trips were added to the five cumulative project turning
movements for analysis as part of this report. For information,Appendix Dincludes the ICU analysis of the
suggested mitigations (improvements associated with the Gold Line build out) above that will affect capacity
at Santa Anita Avenue at Colorado Boulevard and Santa Anita Avenue at Santa Clara Street. These
improvements are not expected to have any traffic related impacts on the proposed project and vice versa.
Based on our experience with similar projects, transit improvements are expected to boost transit ridership in this
area, thereby alleviating traffic congestion. As mentioned above, there is an approved intersection improvement
project that would install an 8 phase signal with one eastbound through and 2 eastbound to northbound left turn
lanes at the intersection of Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Street. The additional capacity and phasing would
help alleviate the traffic congestion resulting from the additional vehicular trips to/from the parking facility and
increased traffic due to projected growth. This can also be justified because of the addition of the 300-car parking
facilities and the addition of bike lockers.

PROJECT TRAFFIC
Project Trip Generation
The number of trips generated by the project was developed by Kimley-Horn and Associates based upon the ITE
Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition and the square footage of the facility. These trips were approved by City
staff for use in this traffic study.Table 6 present the project trip generation for weekdays.

Arcadia Retail & Medical
Office Project 5843181642
Sources: ITE Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition; City of Arcadia, 2013
The trip generation calculations indicate that there would be 584 net daily trips added due to project traffic during
the average weekday. Thirty-nine (39) net trips would be added by the project in the AM peak hour and 58 net
trips added in the PM peak hour on weekdays.
Project Trip Distribution
The distribution of project traffic was based upon local knowledge, proposed land uses, and input from City of
Arcadia. Project traffic was assigned to the study area roadway network based upon distribution patterns that
considered the adjacent land uses, freeway access, arterial capacities, and the likely origins of medical office
employees and patients. The project trip distribution percentages and project trip assignments are illustrated in
Figures 8Aand 8B. More detailed turn movement percentages for project trips are presented inFigure 9. The
resulting project-added intersection weekday peak-hour traffic volumes are illustrated inFigure 10.

EXISTING (2013) + CUMULATIVE + AMBIENT + PROJECT CONDITIONS
Project traffic was added to the Existing + Cumulative + Ambient scenario to determine whether or not the project
would cause any significant peak-hour traffic impacts.Table 7 provides a summary of the Existing + Cumulative
+ Ambient + Project intersection analysis. The site access traffic volumes via the single driveway are included in
Figure 11.Figure 12 provides the Existing + Cumulative + Ambient + Project traffic volumes at the study area
intersections for weekdays. ICU worksheets for this scenario are provided inAppendix C.
The City of Arcadia utilizes CMP traffic impact study guidelines that define a significant traffic impact as an
increase in demand by at least 2% where the intersection would operate at LOS F with project traffic.Table 7
below shows that a significant impact would not be sustained at any study intersection due to the addition of
project traffic.

SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS AND RECOMMENDED MITIGATION
Per the County of Los Angeles Congestion Management Program (CMP), a ‘significant traffic impact’ is defined
as an increase of 0.02 or more in the volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio at an intersection when the resultant level of
service (LOS) is at F. The Existing (2013) + Cumulative +Ambient + Project analysis scenario (Table 7)
indicated that the proposed medical office project would not have significant impact on any study intersection
during the AM or PM peak hours. For this reason, no mitigation is required as a result of this project.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon the analysis documented in this report, the following conclusions and recommendations can be made.
§The proposed development includes the construction of a new 16,150 square foot medical building on
the northwest corner of Santa Anita Avenue and Santa Clara Avenue. The development also includes the
installation of one access driveway on Santa Clara Avenue which will operate as right in right out only.
§The medical office development would generate 584 net daily weekday trips, 39 (31 inbound, 8
outbound) net trips in the AM peak hour (7-9am), and 58 (16 inbound, 42 outbound) net trips in the PM
peak hour (4-6pm).
§According to the site plan received from the architect, Nardi Associates LLP, adequate site access has
been provided. The project proposes one driveway on Santa Clara Avenue west of the Santa Anita Ave
and Santa Clara Ave intersection.
§Based on the County of Los Angeles Congestion Management Program (CMP) requirements, there
would be no significant impacts resulting from the proposed expansion project. Accordingly, no
mitigation measures are required for this project.
