•Small Mixed-Use Projects built along First Avenue in early
2000’s.
•Significant process to analyze mixed-use options through
General Plan Update (2008-2010) created two Mixed-
Use zones. Addressed RHNA, anticipated Gold Line.
•Recession / Retraction of Commercial – leads to
exploration of creative residential options in commercial
areas (Residential-Flex Overlay, zone changes)
•Recently – Significant interest in Mixed-Use Projects and
residential in commercial areas.

•Downtown Mixed Use Zone (DMU) – allows 50 du/acre,
typically allows 50 feet in height.
•Residential-Flex Overlay Zone (RF) – allows 30 du/acre
and provides an option for a commercial zone to be
developed with straight residential units (not mixed-use)

•Scale. Projects must be scaled appropriately for the
various areas of Arcadia. Focus larger-scale and more
dense projects in areas that can support such development
(e.g. Downtown).
•Consistency. City should treat proposals consistently and
fairly once appropriate scale is determined.
•Building Envelope. The overall building mass and built
streetscape is more important than an artificial dwelling
units per acre number.
Primary Issues in Consideration of Projects
18
•Monrovia
•South Myrtle Corridor and Huntington Drive = 54 du/acre with
50’ to 60’ height (Specific Plans)
•Station Square near Gold Line = 90+ du/acre with 65’ to 75’
height for tower elements (Specific Plan)
•Pasadena and Glendale
•Central District, around light rail, or abutting more dense areas
= 48 du/acre to 87 du/acre, with 35’ to 90’ height limit.
•East Colorado and East Pasadena Specific Plans or areas in
less dense neighborhoods = 35-60 du/acre with 35-60’ height
limit

•Leave density and scale as it is in the majority of the City
outside of the Downtown.
•Continue to explore creative residential options in
commercial areas that no longer function well as such.
•Discuss Scale and Streetscapes desired in Downtown
Arcadia. The City has an opportunity to attract major
projects, what intensity of development is desired?
•Revise Downtown Mixed Use Zone, or react to projects as
they come in?
