(Project Description)
[To be attached following this cover page]
What is ‘ARCADIA COMMONS’?
Arcadia Commons will become one of the most active
food halls in San Gabriel Valley. It will be an energetic,
dynamic space packed with close to 7-10 different
boutique food vendors on the ground and potentially
roof floors. The gastronomic choices will be entirely
focused on local, creative options and range in variety
from around the world.
It will draw inspiration from successful food halls/ social
spaces around the US, from Los Angeles’ own Grand
Central Market, Anaheim’s Meat Packing District, San
Diego’s Quarteryard, Philadelphia’s Reading Terminal
Market, and Brooklyn’s Berg’n and DeKalb Market Hall.
There is also the possibility of adding a rooftop
gastropub/ small plates establishment (pending structural
investigation) whose views of the San Gabriel mountains
and Arcadia Park would make it an instant destination
spot in Arcadia.
The second, third, and fourth floors currently occupied by
storage will be remain and the basement will be
converted into additional self-storage.
The ultimate goal of the project is not only to make a
great eating destination but also a place for community
to socialize and bond amongst friends and family.
Arcadia Commons will be a festive locale for food, drink,
and good cheer.
The possibility of Arcadia Commons becoming a social
landmark is what will allow the project to truly contribute
to the City’s culture and revitalize the historic,
pedestrian-friendly district that is Downtown Arcadia.

D. Parking Reduction Near Light-Rail Station. A 25 percent reduction will be applied to the off-street parking requirement for any

E. Parking Requirement Determined by Parking Study. Off-site parking spaces may be relied upon to serve commercial uses,
provided a shared-parking study is completed by the applicant/developer and approved by the Director. In the event the proposed
land use is for a multi-tenant and/or mixed use development or involves a Specific Plan or Planned Development Permit, the Director
may also authorize the preparation of a parking study to determine the required number of parking spaces as an alternative to the
number of off-street parking as outlined in Tables 3-5 through 3-8 (Off-Street Parking Requirement) and other applicable provisions
of this Section, subject to the following conditions:
1. Off-street parking standards determined by a parking study shall be approved, modified, and/or denied in accordance to the
use classification and/or required planning permit for the proposed use. If there are no planning permits required for the
proposed use but the Director has determined a parking study is required, then the review and approval of parking study shall
be processed pursuant to the requirements of Section 9107.05 (Administrative Modification).
2. The City shall maintain the right to select a consultant, which will be paid for by the applicant.
3. The study shall have been undertaken and completed by a traffic engineer registered by the State of California and shall
bear the stamp of that engineer.
4. If the required parking is determined by such a parking study, future modification or improvement to the parking area which
impacts the parking space layout, configuration, and/or number of stalls or if any such building or structure in the project is
enlarged or increased in capacity by floor area or seats, or at such time that a usage requiring a higher number of parking
spaces than an existing or previous use is applied, a new parking study pursuant to this Section shall be provided showing
that the existing and/or proposed parking is adequate for such expansion and/or increased usage. Alternative to a revised
parking study, at the time of such expansion or increased usage, the applicant may comply with all provisions of this Section in
effect at the time of the application.
F. Multiple Tenants. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, for each separate use, a site with multi-tenants, or a
combination of principal uses in any one facility, the development shall provide the aggregate number of parking spaces required for
each separate use unless a parking study has been prepared and approved in compliance with this Chapter or except as provided
for in Subsection 9103.07.090 (Shared/Joint Use and Off-site Parking).
G. Pick-up and Drop-off Area for Educational Uses. Educational uses that serve children shall be required to submit a parking
plan that indicates the location of pick-up and drop-off area (separate from the driveway aisle) subject to the review and approval of
the Review Authority pursuant to the requirements of Section 9107.19 (Site Plan and Design Review).
