It is recommended that the City Council approve the Temporary Use Permit No. TUP 21-12, subject to the conditions of approval listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The Applicant, State Fair Entertainment, specializes in operating large scale events throughout the country. Some notable events that the Applicant has operated and managed in the past include the Super Bowl, the Olympics, NFL stadium events, NASCAR events, live concerts, large music festivals, and county fairs throughout the country. Mr. Severence, the owner and CEO of State Fair Entertainment, has also served as a consultant for companies such as Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonald’s, and Domino’s Pizza. With his extensive experience in event production and management, Mr. Severance is requesting approval to hold the first State Fair in Arcadia to bring people together in the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles area. This would be State Fair Entertainment’s first time hosting a fair at Santa Anita Park. The proposed event would take place in and around the Paddock Gardens, as well as the surrounding areas leading into the parking lot area, which is a similar layout as the 626 Night Market (refer to Attachment No. 1 - Site Plan and Aerial Map). These areas State Fair at Santa Anita Park Temporary Use Permit No. 21-12 June 15, 2021 Page 2 of 9 provide convenient access to the event with parking entrances that would be located off of Huntington Drive through Gates 3, 5, and 8. The event would take place for four weekends this summer, from Thursday to Sunday (July 29 - August 1, August 5 - 8, August 12 - 15, and August 19 - 22). State Fair Entertainment anticipates up to 10,000 people in attendance each day. DISCUSSION The Race Track Event (RTE) Overlay Zone at Santa Anita Park requires a Temporary Use Permit for any event that draws more than 10,000 people at any given time, or those that operate for more than one day for a single event. The proposed State Fair would take place for four weekends starting on July 29, 2021, and is expected to draw approximately 10,000 attendees per day; therefore, the application is subject to City Council review and approval. The proposed State Fair would be held at Santa Anita Park from July 29, 2021, through August 22, 2021, and would operate four days a week, from Thursday through Sunday, 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. The event would feature over 40 food vendors, 300 merchant vendors, 50 performance artists, live DJs, carnival rides and games, and alcoholic beverage service (refer to Attachment No. 2 - State Fair Entertainment Brochure). In an effort to be environmentally conscious, this event would not use any single-use containers or plastic straws. All food and beverage containers would be either 100% recyclable or made from 90% recyclable material. All the food stands, activities, rides, and games would be located throughout the Paddock Gardens, and into the parking lot areas. A general admission ticket will cost $12.00 on Fridays through Sundays and $10.00 on Thursdays. Tickets for children ages 6 -12 will cost $7.00 and children under 6 years old will be admitted for free. Parking can be purchased in advanced online for $10.00. All of the revenue generated through tickets and parking purchases accrue to the operator. Parking would be provided in the east and south parking lots of the Racetrack, which would be accessed through Gates 3 and 5 from Huntington Drive. Gate 8 would be used only for emergency access for fire engines and ambulances, VIP guests, and deliveries. There would be approximately 7,000 parking spaces available for visitors, and the Applicant anticipates 6,000 of those spaces to be utilized at any given time. In order to help manage the parking process, 90% of parking spaces have to be reserved online with pre-purchased tickets. At the fair, there would be no exchange of money at the gate. Santa Anita Park would provide parking attendants to control and direct traffic throughout the event. For security purposes, the parking lots would be illuminated during the evening hours. Santa Anita Park would also provide security guards for the event in addition to the four (4) Arcadia Police Officers that would be on duty. There would be a first-aid station with Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and an ambulance from Huntington Ambulance or the Arcadia Fire Department on stand-by.

FINDINGS Pursuant to Development Code Section 9107.23.080, a Temporary Use Permit may be approved if all the following findings can be made. 1. The operation of the requested temporary use at the location proposed, within the time period specified, and subject to appropriate conditions will not jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the public convenience, health, safety, or general welfare. Facts in Support of the Finding: The Paddock Gardens, its immediate vicinity, and the parking lots at Santa Anita Park are able to accommodate the proposed State Fair event. The proposed event will not jeopardize, endanger, or otherwise constitute a menace to the public convenience, health, safety, or general welfare. The event will be held at Santa Anita Park within the Paddock Gardens that leads into the parking lot areas (Lot AW, and Lot AE), which are located over 2,000 feet from the nearest residential properties north of the Racetrack and approximately 1,600 feet from the residents along Huntington Drive. The event is not expected to generate significant noise impacts that will disturb the neighboring residents State Fair at Santa Anita Park Temporary Use Permit No. 21-12 June 15, 2021 Page 7 of 9 from this distance. Additionally, the event will be staffed with security guards and Arcadia Police Officers for traffic control and security purposes. 2. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the temporary use without material detriment to the use and enjoyment of other properties located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the site. Facts in Support of the Finding: Santa Anita Park is more than adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed State Fair event. In addition to live horse racing events, Santa Anita Park has previously hosted several events similar in size and attendance in previous years. Events have been held in the infield, in the Paddock Gardens, and in parking areas without impacting other properties located adjacent to and in the vicinity of the site. The proposed State Fair event will follow the same operational characteristics as previous events to ensure that no detriment to the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties will occur. 3. The proposed site is adequately served by streets or highways having sufficient width and improvements to accommodate the kind and quantity of traffic that the temporary use will or could reasonably be expected to generate. Facts in Support of the Finding: Santa Anita Park is served by Huntington Drive and Colorado Place, which are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the vehicle traffic generated by the proposed State Fair event. In addition, Santa Anita Park will provide parking attendants to direct visitors to the appropriate parking areas and facilitate proper traffic circulation. 4. Adequate temporary parking to accommodate vehicular traffic to be generated by the temporary use will be available either on-site or at alternate locations acceptable to the Director. Facts in Support of the Finding: Parking for the proposed State Fair event will be provided onsite located in the parking lots to the south and east of the racetrack. The parking is accessed from Gates 3 and 5 from Huntington Drive. The parking lot area provides approximately 7,000 parking spaces for all the event visitors. The parking provided will be more than adequate to accommodate the visitors of the event. In addition, the subject site has plenty of parking located throughout the site in the event that more is needed or issues arise with the intended parking area for the event. For security purposes, the parking lot will be illuminated during the evening hours and traffic and parking control will be provided. State Fair at Santa Anita Park Temporary Use Permit No. 21-12 June 15, 2021 Page 8 of 9 5. The location for the proposed temporary use would not adversely interfere with existing uses on the subject property, and would not impede or adversely impact pedestrian access ways and/or vehicular circulation patterns. Facts in Support of the Finding: Santa Anita Park hosts live racing at various times throughout the year. Aside from horse racing, all the other events held at the site are temporary. The proposed State Fair event will be held from July 29, 2021, through August 22, 2021 and this will be the only temporary event taking place at this time. Given the size of the site, the proposed event will not adversely interfere with live horse racing or impact pedestrian and/or vehicular circulation patterns. 6. The applicant agrees in writing to comply with any and all of the conditions imposed by the Review Authority in the approval of the Temporary Use Permit. Facts in Support of the Finding: As required with all approvals and per Condition of Approval No. 23, the Applicant will be required to execute an Acceptance Form indicating acceptance of the conditions of approval required by this approval. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS This project is Categorically Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under Section 15304(e) of the CEQA Guidelines as a temporary use of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment is attached (see Attachment No. 3). PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS Public hearing notices for this item were mailed on June 3, 2021, to the property owners of those properties that are within 1,000 feet of the subject site, and the notice was published in the Arcadia Weekly newspaper. During the notification period, staff did not receive any comments or concerns from the public. FISCAL IMPACT Vendors participating in the event will be subject to business licensing fees, and the retail sales would be subject to sales tax which should be reported as having occurred in Arcadia. Services such as Police and Fire resources would be paid for by the Applicant. Therefore, the event would likely have a minor positive fiscal impact for the City.

Employees who had potential COVID-19 exposure in our workplace will be: • Offered COVID-19 testing at no cost during their working hours. • The information on benefits described in Training and Instruction, and Exclusion of COVID-19 Cases, below, will be provided to them. System for Communicating Our goal is to ensure that we have effective two-way communication with our employees, in a form they can readily understand, and that it includes the following information: • Employees should report COVID-19 symptoms and possible hazards verbally, by calling over the phone, sending a text message or e-mail to Robert Barr, Marissa Nikopolous, Manuel Mendoza or Davey Helm. • Employees can report symptoms and hazards without fear of reprisal. • In the event we are required to provide testing because of a workplace exposure or outbreak, we will communicate the plan for providing testing and inform affected employees of the reason for the testing and the possible consequences of a positive test. • Information about COVID-19 hazards employees (including other employers and individuals in contact with our workplace) may be exposed to, what is being done to control those hazards, and our COVID-19 policies and procedures. Training and Instruction We will provide effective training and instruction that includes: • Our COVID-19 policies and procedures to protect employees from COVID-19 hazards. • Information regarding COVID-19-related benefits to which the employee may be entitled under applicable federal, state, or local laws. • The fact that: o COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can be spread through the air. o COVID-19 may be transmitted when a person touches a contaminated object and then touches their eyes, nose, or mouth. o An infectious person may have no symptoms. • Methods of physical distancing of at least six feet and the importance of combining physical distancing with the wearing of face coverings. • The fact that particles containing the virus can travel more than six feet, especially indoors, so physical distancing must be combined with other controls, including face coverings and hand hygiene, to be effective. • The importance of frequent hand washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and using hand sanitizer when employees do not have immediate access to a sink or hand washing facility, and that hand sanitizer does not work if the hands are soiled. • Proper use of face coverings and the fact that face coverings are not respiratory protective equipment - face coverings are intended to primarily protect other individuals from the wearer of the face covering. • COVID-19 symptoms, and the importance of obtaining a COVID-19 test and not coming to work if the employee has COVID-19 symptoms. • Appendix D: COVID-19 Training Roster will be used to document this training. Exclusion of COVID-19 Cases Where we have a COVID-19 case in our workplace, we will limit transmission by: • Ensuring that COVID-19 cases are excluded from the workplace until our return-to-work requirements are met. • Excluding employees with COVID-19 exposure from the workplace for 14 days after the last known COVID-19 exposure to a COVID-19 case. • Continuing and maintaining an employee’s earnings, seniority, and all other employee rights and benefits whenever we have demonstrated that the COVID-19 exposure is work related. • Providing employees at the time of exclusion with information on available benefits. Reporting, Record keeping, and Access It is our policy to: • Report information about COVID-19 cases at our workplace to the local health department whenever required by law, and provide any related information requested by the local health department. • Report immediately to Cal/OSHA any COVID-19-related serious illnesses or death, as defined under CCR Title 8 section 330(h), of an employee occurring in our place of employment or in connection with any employment. • Maintain records of the steps taken to implement our written COVID-19 Prevention Program in accordance with CCR Title 8 section 3203(b). • Make our written COVID-19 Prevention Program available at the workplace to employees, authorized employee representatives, and to representatives of Cal/OSHA immediately upon request. • Use the Appendix C: Investigating COVID-19 Cases form to keep a record of and track all COVID-19 cases. The information will be made available to employees, authorized employee representatives, or as otherwise required by law, with personal identifying information removed. Return-to-Work Criteria • COVID-19 cases with COVID-19 symptoms will not return to work until all the following have occurred: o At least 24 hours have passed since a fever of 100.4 or higher has resolved without the use of fever-reducing medications. o COVID-19 symptoms have improved. o At least 10 days have passed since COVID-19 symptoms first appeared. • COVID-19 cases who tested positive but never developed COVID-19 symptoms will not return to work until a minimum of 10 days have passed since the date of specimen collection of their first positive COVID-19 test. • A negative COVID-19 test will not be required for an employee to return to work. • If an order to isolate or quarantine an employee is issued by a local or state health official, the employee will not return to work until the period of isolation or quarantine is completed or the order is lifted. If no period was specified, then the period will be 10 days from the time the order to isolate was effective, or 14 days from the time the order to quarantine was effective. COVID-19 Prevention in Employer-Provided Housing This section referrers to section 3205.3. Employer-provided housing is any place or area of land, any portion of any housing accommodation, or property upon which a housing accommodation is located, consisting of living quarters, dwelling, boardinghouse, tent, bunkhouse, maintenance-of- way car, mobile home, manufactured home, recreational vehicle, travel trailer, or other housing accommodations. The employer-provided housing may be maintained in one or more buildings or one or more sites, including hotels and motels, and the premises upon which they are situated, or the area set aside and provided for parking of mobile homes or camping. Employer-provided housing is housing that is arranged for or provided by an employer, other person, or entity to workers, and in some cases to workers and persons in their households, in connection with the worker’s employment, whether or not rent or fees are paid. • The requirements below for Physical distancing and controls, Face coverings, Cleaning and disinfecting, Screening, and Isolation of COVID-19 cases and persons with COVID-19 exposure do not apply to occupants, such as family members, who maintained a household together prior to residing in employer-provided housing, but only when no other persons outside the household are present. Assignment of housing units Helm & Sons Amusements will ensure that shared housing unit assignments are prioritized in the following order: • Residents who usually maintain a household together outside of work, such as family members, will be housed in the same housing unit without other persons. • Residents who work in the same crew or work together at the same worksite will be housed in the same housing unit without other persons. • Employees who do not usually maintain a common household, work crew, or worksite will be housed in the same housing unit only when no other housing alternatives are possible. Physical distancing and controls Helm & Sons Amusements will ensure: • The premises are of sufficient size and layout to permit at least six feet of physical distancing between residents in housing units, common areas, and other areas of the premises. • Beds are spaced at least six feet apart in all directions and positioned to maximize the distance between sleepers’ heads. For beds positioned next to each other, i.e., side by side, the beds will be arranged so that the head of one bed is next to the foot of the next bed. For beds positioned across from each other, i.e., end to end, the beds will be arranged so that the foot of one bed is closest to the foot of the next bed. Bunk beds will not be used. • Maximization of the quantity and supply of outdoor air and increase filtration efficiency to the highest level compatible with the existing ventilation system in housing units. Face coverings Helm & Sons Amusements will provide face coverings to all residents and provide information to residents on when they should be used in accordance with state or local health officer orders or guidance. Cleaning and disinfection Helm & Sons Amusements will ensure that: • Housing units, kitchens, bathrooms, and common areas are effectively cleaned and disinfected at least once a day to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Cleaning and disinfecting shall be done in a manner that protects the privacy of residents. • Unwashed dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, and similar items are not shared. Screening Helm & Sons Amusements will encourage residents to report COVID-19 symptoms to Tom Kay, General Manager at 909.964.3078. COVID-19 testing Helm & Sons Amusements will establish, implement, and maintain effective policies and procedures for COVID-19 testing of occupants who had a COVID-19 exposure, who have COVID-19 symptoms, or as recommended by the local health department. Isolation of COVID-19 cases and persons with COVID-19 exposure Helm & Sons Amusements will: • Effectively isolate COVID-19 exposed residents from all other occupants. Effective isolation will include providing COVID-19 exposed residents with a private bathroom, sleeping area, and cooking and eating facility. • Effectively isolate COVID-19 cases from all occupants who are not COVID-19 cases. Effective isolation will include housing COVID-19 cases only with other COVID-19 cases and providing COVID-19 case occupants with a sleeping area, bathroom, and cooking and eating facility that is not shared by non-COVID-19-case occupants. • Keep confidential any personal identifying information regarding COVID-19 cases and persons with COVID-19 symptoms, in accordance with our CPP Investigating and Responding to COVID-19 Cases. • End isolation in accordance with our CPP Exclusion of COVID-19 Cases and Return to Work Criteria, and any applicable local or state health officer orders. COVID-19 Prevention in Employer-Provided Transportation to and from Work As outlined in Section 3205.4 As an employer-providing motor vehicle transportation to and from work, Helm & Sons Amusements is adding the current section to its COVID-19 Prevention Plan. Motor vehicle transportation to and from work, is any transportation of an employee, during the course and scope of employment, provided, arranged for, or secured by an employer including ride-share vans or shuttle vehicles, car-pools, and private charter buses, regardless of the travel distance or duration involved. This section does not apply: • If the driver and all passengers are from the same household outside of work, such as family members. Assignment of transportation Helm & Sons Amusements will prioritize shared transportation assignments in the following order: • Employees residing in the same housing unit will be transported in the same vehicle. • Employees working in the same crew or worksite will be transported in the same vehicle. • Employees who do not share the same household, work crew or worksite will be transported in the same vehicle only when no other transportation alternatives are possible. Physical distancing and face coverings Helm & Sons Amusements will ensure that the: • Physical distancing and face covering requirements of our CPP Physical Distancing and Face Coverings are followed for employees waiting for transportation. • Vehicle operator and any passengers are separated by at least three feet in all directions during the operation of the vehicle, regardless of the vehicle’s normal capacity. Vehicle operator and any passengers are provided and wear a face covering in the vehicle as required by our CPP Face Coverings. Screening Helm & Sons Amusements will develop, implement, and maintain effective procedures for screening and excluding drivers and riders with COVID-19 symptoms prior to boarding shared transportation. Cleaning and disinfecting Helm & Sons amusements will ensure that: • All high-contact surfaces (door handles, seatbelt buckles, armrests, etc.) used by passengers are cleaned and disinfected before each trip. • All high-contact surfaces used by drivers, such as the steering wheel, armrests, seatbelt buckles, door handles and shifter, are cleaned and disinfected between different drivers. • We provide sanitizing materials, training on how to use them properly, and ensure they are kept in adequate supply. Ventilation Helm & Sons Amusements will ensure that vehicle windows are kept open, and the ventilation system set to maximize outdoor air and not set to recirculate air. Windows do not have to be kept open if one or more of the following conditions exist: • The vehicle has functioning air conditioning in use and the outside temperature is greater than 90 degrees Fahrenheit. • The vehicle has functioning heating in use and the outside temperature is less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit. • Protection is needed from weather conditions, such as rain or snow. • The vehicle has a cabin air filter in use and the U.S. EPA Air Quality Index for any pollutant is greater than 100. Hand hygiene Helm & Sons Amusements will provide hand sanitizer in each vehicle and ensure that all drivers and riders sanitize their hands before entering and exiting the vehicle. Hand sanitizers with methyl alcohol are prohibited. Tom Kay, General Manager Date 3/38/2021 COVID-19 PREVENTION PROGRAM | Helm & Sons Amusements Appendix A: Identification of COVID-19 Hazards All persons, regardless of symptoms or negative COVID-19 test results, will be considered potentially infectious.
