Connors, Economic Development Assistant FROM: ~ Ratification of Planning Commission Action SUBJECT: Approving Amendment No. Two to the Redevelopment Plan The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Central Project Area on October 14, 19B6. After review by the Commission, staff was directed to prepare a resolution for adoption at the October 28 meeting which ratifies the prior Planning Commission action. Attached for your consideration is Planning Commission Resolution No. 1324, A Resolution approving Amendment Number Two to the Redevelopment Plan for the Central Redevelopment Project Area and recommending the plan amendment be approved by the Arcadia City Council and the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency. . RECOMMENDATION That Planning Commission Resolution No. 1324 be adopted. . memotanJum Date _.l.Qn / B 6 . TO: Arcadia Planning Commission FROM: ~le R. Connors, Economic Development Assistant SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan The Agency must amend the Redevelopment this year in order to comply with SB690. limits be set for: Plan before the end of This requires that 1. The length of time the Redevelopment Plan can be in existence (Sec. 102 and 501). No expiration date currently exists. 2. The amount of tax increment the Agency can receive over the life of the Redevelopment Plan (Sec. 502). . 3. A limit on the time period for commencement of eminent domain proceedings (Sec. 303). Of more relevance to the Planning Commission is the need to make the Redevelopment Plan Land Use Map consistent with the General plan in several areas. Additionally, text has been added to the plan such that the map will automatically amend should the City General Plan be amended (Sec. 401). In this way, they will remain consistent in the future. Following is a summary of the Land Use Map changes: LOCATION OF CHANGE CURRENT 1. NEC Newman/Santa Anita 2. SEC Newman/Santa Anita 3. No. & So. Side of Newman, E. of Santa Anita 4. SEC 1st Ave./Colorado 5. SEC Santa Anita/La Porte 6. No. Side of La Porte, Flower to 2nd Ave. 7. East & West of Rolyn Pl., Santa Clara to R.R. 8. Huntington Dr., San Juan to San Rafael 9. Santa Anita, South side of Morlan Place 10. Santa Anita, Morlan Pl. to Santa Clara 11. Huntington Dr., Santa Anita No. to Railroad CO CG CO & RHD RHD CG RHD MU CG CO CO CO NE~I USE CO/RHD CG/RHD RLD CG I I CG/I CO CG CG CG . All of these land use amendments are consistent with the General Plan. Please note that No. 8 would change the current General Commercial use to the more restrictive Commercial Office designation. . . . Other minor changes proposed for the Redevelopment plan include lengthening the administrative noticing and processing periods for Design Review (Sec. 426), adding text to strengthen the Design Review process (Sec. 424 and 426), and providing the Agency with greater discretionary authority in entering into Owner Participation Agreements (Sec. 307). Greater detail has also been added to the Map, e.g., Santa Anita Wash, Fifth Avenue, San Juan, San Rafael, etc. for clarity. A Negative Declaration (Attachment No.1) has been prepared and forwarded to the appropriate agencies. Attached is a draft copy of the complete Amendment Number Two to the Redevelopment plan for your review and comment (Attachment No.2). Additions to the text are underlined while deletions have been stricken with a bold line through the affected words or phrases. Following Planning Commission action, a public hearing must be held before the Redevelopment Agency and the City Council must approve the Amendment by Ordinance. Notice of the hearing must be placed in the paper and a certified mailing must be made to property owners and taxing agencies in the Project Area. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: 1. Consider the Environmental Checklist and Negative Declaration and approve both (Attachment No.1); 2. Find that the proposed Amendment No.2 conforms to the General Plan (Attachment No.2); and 3.

[~500] METHODS FOR FINANCING THE PROJECT A. [~50l ] GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED FINANCIAL METHODS The Agency is authorized to finance this Project with financial assistance from the City, State of California, property tax increments, interest income, Agency bonds or any other available source, public or private. . Advances and loans for survey and planning and for the operating capital for nominal administration of this Project have been and are to be provided by the City until adequate tax increments or other funds are available or sufficiently assured to repay the loans and to permit borrowing adequate working capital from sources other than the City. The City as it is able may also supply additional assistance through City loans and grants for various public facilities. As available, gas tax funds from the State of California and the County of Los Angeles will be used for the street system. Also all or a portion of the parking may be installed through a parking authority or otherwise. The Agency is authorized to issue bonds from time-to-time if it deems appropriate to do so. The Agency is authorized to obtain advances, borrow funds and create indebtedness in carrying out this Plan. The principal and interest on such advances, funds and indebtedness may be paid from tax increments or any other funds available to the Agency. The Agency shall not establish or incur any loan, advance or indebtedness to be repaid from the allocation of taxes to the Agency pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33670 later than June 30, 2026. . 18 B. , ! [~502] TAX INCREMENTS ~ ,All taxes levied upon taxable property within the Project ' area each year by or for the benefit of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, City of Arcadia, any district or other public corporation (hereinafter sometimes called "taxing agencies") after the effective date of the ordinance approving this Redevelopment Plan, shall be divided as follows: (1) That portion of the taxes which would be produced by the rate upon which the tax is levied each year by or for each of said taxing agencies upon the total sum of the assessed value of the taxable property in the Redevelopment Project as shown upon the assessment roll used in connection with the taxation of such property by such taxing agency, last equalized prior to the effective date of such ordinance, shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes by or for said taxing agencies on all other property are paid (for the purpose of allocating taxes levied by or for any taxing agency or agencies which did not include the territory of the Project on the effective date of such ordinance but to which such territory is annexed or otherwise included after such effective date, the assessment roll last equalized on the effective date of said ordinance shall be used in determining the assessed valuation of the taxable property in the Project on said effective date); and . (2) . That portion of said levied taxes each year in excess of such amount shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid into a special fund of the Agency to pay the principal of and interest on bonds, loans, monies advanced to, or indebtedness (whether funded, refunded, assumed or otherwise) incurred by the Agency to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, this Redevelopment Project. Unless and until the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project exceeds the total assessed value of the taxable property in the Project as shown by the last equalized assessment roll referred to in,paragraph (1) hereof, all of the taxes levied and collected upon the taxable property in the Project ~hall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies. When said bonds, loans, advances and indebtedness, if any, and interest thereon, have been paid, all monies thereafter received from taxes upon the taxable property in the Project shall be paid into the funds of the respective taxing agencies as taxes on all other property are paid. The portion of taxes mentioned in paragraph (2), above, are hereby irrevocably pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the advance of monies, or 19 '.'

[700J ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PLAN .. 20.. r-, , , " .' ,.." ". " " " '"', .: The administration and enforcement of this Plan including ~e preparation and execution of any documents implementing this ~n shall be performed by the Agency and/or the City. When reference is made in this Plan to the Executive Director concerning acts to be performed under this Plan, such acts shall be performed by the Executive Director or his nominee. The provisions of this Plan or other documents entered into pursuant to this Plan may also be enforced by court litigation instituted by either the Agency or the City. Such remedies may include but are not limited to specific performance, damages, reentry, injunctions or any other remedies appropriate to the purposes of this Plan. In addition, any recorded provisions which are expressly for the benefit of owners of property in the Project area may be enforced by such owners, VIII. [ ~OO] PROCEDURE FOR AMENDMENT This Plan may be amended by means of the procedure established in Sections 33450-33458 of the Community Redevelopment Law or by any other procedure established by law. IX. [S900] NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT ELEMENT -, The Project area does contain low and moderate income ousing. The impact of the Project upon the residents of the Project area and surrounding areas has been described with specificity in the draft Environmental Impact Report which the Agency has prepared as the lead agency in this Project and placed on file with the City Clerk in conjunction with this Plan. Relocation: By using rehabilitation of existing structures through owner participation agreements, the Agency plans to minimize relocation of residential owners and occupants. If, however, parcels are needed for the construction of public improvements or to successfully implement this Plan, relocation will be unavoidable. No specific estimate can be made at this time of the number of parcels and residedts that could be so affected. Traffic Circulation: Traffic circulation in residential area, while generally adequate, requires some modification. Construction and installation of pedestrian walkways and signal devices will increase safety in these areas. The installation of adequate arterial traffic controls and the provision for increased parking and the improvements to be made to First Avenue will encourage more commercially oriented circulation in the commercial use areas along First Avenue, and Huntington Drive~ alia D\:larte Reag . The provision of railroad over and underpasses will increase 21 vehicular and pedestrian safety while providing for better ~ffiC circulation. Environmental Quality: The short run impact of the Project may be negative because of the traffic, noise and debris associated with rehabilitation and construction. However, after the development is completed, the aesthetic improvements throughout the Project, coupled with the decrease in traffic circulation in the residential areas and the provisions for the installation of pedestrian walkways and signal ~evices and adequate arterial traffic controls, will be significant improvements of environmental quality. Availability of Community Facilities and Services: Improved traffic circulation will permit greater access to the municipal services within and without the Project area. Sidewalks to be installed will definitely improve pedestrian movement and safety. Improvements to the Arcadia County Park will expand and make more available and accessible community facilities and services in the Project area and in the community. The development of new commercial uses and the development of the Fashion Park Regional Shopping Center will create convenient and additional shopping and services to both the Project area and the City of Arcadia. Effect on School Population and Quality of Education: The u~.of rehabilitation of existing residential dwellings in ~unction with the tlevelopment of multi-family dwellings, where such uses are permitted, (which multi-family residential uses are anticipated to produce a lesser impact on school population than single-family residential uses) indicate that the Project will have little effect on the school population. Property Assessments and Taxes: The improvements to real property will probably result in higher assessed values. The increase will probably be greater for commercial use properties and presenily undeveloped property than for properties with existing residential uses. Because of recent property tax reform legislation, no accurate projection of tax rates can be made, The intent of such legislation, however, was to reduce real property tax rates. Other Matters Affecting the Physical and Social Quality of the Neighborhood: To the extent that portions of the Project area are underdeveloped and improvement projects are currently under construction or committed, change and development are going to come in the Project area notwithstanding the adoption of a redevelopment plan for the area. The adoption of a redevelopment plan and its implementation by the Agency, in cooperation with other entities including the Project Area Committee, are means of assuring community control of the manner in which the inevitable changes will affect the physical and social quality of the ~hborhood. 22 . .
