That the factual data submitted by the Community Development Division in the report is true and correct. Section 2. This Commission finds: 1. That State law requires that the General Plan and the Zoning in General Law cities be consistent.

Development Services Department staff reviewed each property, identifying the existing use(s), surrounding uses, the General Plan designation and the zoning and made suggestions on changes either to the General Plan _ designation, the zoning designation or in some cases both. The recommended . -1- 1716 . . - changes are a result of this study and will bring the City's General Plan and zoning into consistency with one another. 2. That approval of General Plan Amendment 004-001 will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or vicinity. 3. That a Negative Declaration has been prepared on the proposed General Plan changes. Section 3. That for the foregoing reasons the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council approval of the General Plan Changes as set forth in attached Exhibit A. Section 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia.

STAFF REPORT Development Services Department September 14, 2004 TO: Arcadia City Planning Commission .'1 ~?2, / Donna Butler, Community Development Administrat~fr' / . Consideration of General Plan amendments and Zone Changes to properties throughout the City to provide consistency between the Arcadia General Plan and the Zoning Map (GP 04-001 and ZC 04- 003) FROM: SUBJECT: SUMMARY The proposed General Plan and Zone Changes were initiated by the Development Services Department to bring the general plan and zoning into consistency. The properties included in the changes were identified as part of a study conducted approximately three years ago. The proposed general plan and zone changes recommended in this staff report are a result of this study and continued review by the Development Services Department staff. The Development Services Department is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the proposed changes and forward their comments to the City Council for consideration. BACKGROUND State law requires that the General Plan and the Zoning in General Law cities be consistent. Although the City of Arcadia is a Charter City and not subject to this requirement, in principle this dictum is encouraged in charter cities as well. Three years ago the City hired a consultant to: (1) complete a General Plan consistency analysis to determine the extent of consistency between the City's General Plan Land Use Element and the Zoning Map; and (2) field check all of the Identified sites to document the actual use of the property. " . e I . . . During the past two years the Development Services Department has reviewed all the information and developed the list of proposed changes in this staff report. Approximately 250+ properties were identified where the general plan and zoning designations were inconsistent. Staff reviewed each property, looking at the existing use(s), surrounding uses, the general plan designation and the zoning and has made suggestions on changes either to the General Plan designation, the zoning designation or in some cases both. Six (6) areas were identified (see maps and areas identified 0n the following pages): Live Oak Corridor Baldwin Corridor (three specific areas) Downtown Corridor Colorado Corridor Foothill/First Corridor Marendale Subdivision CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE GP/Zone Changes 9/14/04 Page 2 . . . l, .

Some of the proposed changes are as simple as changing the General Plan designation from Single-Family Residential 0-4 dulac (dwelling units per acre) to Single-Family Residential 0-6 dulac which reflects existing densities. Others involve changing both the general plan and the zoning to address the uses that currently exists on a site. The following is a summary explaining the general plan and zoning designations included in the recommendations: Zoninl!

There are two primary "housekeeping" changes in the Live Oak corridor: 1. A proposed General Plan amendment for the properties on the north and south side of Live Oak and the south side of Las Tunas Drive west of Santa Anita. This area is currently zoned CoM (Commercial-manufacturing) and the general plan designation is commercial. Staff is recommending that the General Plan be changed to mixed-use commercial/industrial consistent with the current zoning. 2. The second primary change is to properties on the north side of Live Oak between Fourth and Sixth Avenue. The current General Plan designation is Mixed Use Commercial/ Multiple Family, the proposed change is to Multiple- Family. GPlZone Changes 9114/04 Page 8 , , . .~ <;) ~ " !iJ, ~ \ , I ' I , . .

"P" Parkino Overlav In the 1950's and 60's the City created a parking "P" overlay zone that typically was added to an underlying residential zone, Le., (R-O, R-1, R-2 or R-3) adjacent to commercially zoned properties. The purpose of the "P" overlay was to allow for either the development of property per the underlying zone or to allow for improvement as a parking lotto supplement parking on the adjoining commercial property. The parking overlay also provided a "buffer" for commercial uses adjacent to residentially zoned areas. The "P" overlay area does not permit the construction of commercial uses within the designated area, but does allow for parking. However, in some instances along Baldwin Avenue, commercial uses have encroached into the "P" overlay areas. Parking overlays are not typically utilized in planning practice anymore because most cities, including Arcadia, have developed commercial standards that address commercial uses adjacent to residential properties and also have design gUidelines that help to reduce the impact of commercial uses abutting residential properties. e The Development Services Department staff is recommending that the parking overlay be removed from the parcels identified in the above table and that the zoning be changed to the underlying commercial zone; Le., C-1 or C-2. 1150 Colorado Street The subject property is developed with Coco's Restaurant. In 1974, the site was subdivided and the zoning for the property was changed to C-1 for the northwest portion of the property and the easterly 95.6' and the southerly 100' of the property were zoned PR-1 to provide a buffer for the newly developed residential properties to the east and south. As noted above, the Development Services Department is recommending that all the "P" overlay properties be rezoned to the underlying commercial zone, in this case C-1. The City has received a petition (pages 13 and 14) from property owners on Altura Road and Altura Terrace requesting that the PR-1 zoned area remain as it currently exist. It is the opinion of the owners that the "P" overlay provides reasonable protection and privacy. . GP/Zone Changes 9/14/04 Page 12 .~. .. I . .. PETITIO~AINSif THE ZONIN*HANGE AT 1150 W. COLORADO STREET . We the residents of the ~wer Rancho subdivision, including the residents of Altura Road and Altura Terrace, are against the proposed zoning change at 1150 W. Colorado Street from PR-1 & D to C-l. Current PR-l & D zoning allows only parking .spaces. This gives us a rea(lonable "cushion" between our neighborhood and residences and the C-l zoning which also exists at 1150 W. Colorado Street. The proposed zoning change would allow commercial structures to be built within this "cushion" which would not give us adequate protection and privacy. The PR-l & D zoning was put in place to give the homeowners reasonable protection and privacy. We would like this zoning of PR-l & D to remain the same. We, as homeowners, need protection from the encroachment of possible commercial development. Such encroachment would decrease our property values, decrease security and limit the enjoyment of our property. e PrODertv Owner (Printed Name) Address of ProDertv - ,- '/(..p -.

Page 14 '. . e . . . 650 West Huntinoton Drive The property is zoned CoO with a General Plan Designation of Multiple-Family Residential 24 dulac (this includes a density bonus for low income units). The Development Services Department is recommending rezoning this property R-3, Multiple-Family Residential. The site is 73,616 square feet in area (1.69 acres) and is developed with an office building. In May 2004, Jimmy Lee on behalf of the property owner, filed a zone change application to change the zoning from CoO to R-3, consistent with the existing General Plan designation. The applicant indicated that if approved they would construct residential condominium units. The maximum density allowed by the General Plan is 22 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) for market rate units and 30 du/ac for senior units. Based on the current zoning code requirements and the General Plan, a maximum of 36 market rate units could be constructed on the site or a maximum of 50 senior dwelling units could be constructed. Properties to the east and south of the site are zoned R-3 and developed with multiple-family units. This Zone Change would bring the property into conformance with the multiple-family land use designation of the General Plan. The Planning Commission at its June 22 meeting recommended approval of this zone change with the comment that the proposed rezoning of the property would bring the subject property into consistency with the General Plan. On July 20, 2004, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the requested zone change. Upon receiving public testimony, the City Council tabled its consideration of the zone change and recommended that the item be discussed as part of the City-wide General Plan and Zoning consistency review. The Development Services Department is recommending rezoning the property to R-3 multiple-family residential. 661 W. Camino Real. 1425-1429 Melanie Lane These properties are part of a subdivision developed in 1977. The westerly portion of the subdivision was zoned R-2 and the easterly portion R-1. The sin9le-family subdivision was approved with the consideration that the lots would be developed with single-family dwellings. The General Plan designation for these properties is SF 0-6 du/ac. The Development Services Department is proposing to rezone the above lots from R- 2 (medium density residential) to R-1 (single-family residential). GPIZone Changes 9114/04 Page 15 .. . . .

One major change includes a proposed General Plan amendment between Bonita Avenue on the north, Second Avenue on the west, Fifth Avenue on the east and the south side of Califomia Street on the south. Properties in this area are zoned R-3 multiple-family residential and developed at an R-3 density (maximum 22 dwelling units per acre). However, the General Plan designation in this particular area is Multiple-Family Residential 12 du/ac. The Development Services Department is recommending that a General Plan designation of Multiple-Family Residential 24 dulac consistent with the existing zoning and development. 2. Staff is also recommending removal of the uP" overlay on several properties on Alta Street and abutting commercial properties along First Avenue. In most cases the change involves removing the parking overlay from the underlying residential zoning, however, there are several properties adjacent to First Avenue that are zoned R-3 with a parking overlay and used as parking for the adjoining commercial uses fronting on First Avenue. These properties are proposed to be rezoned commercial, compatible with the adjoining commercial properties. 3. The rear portions of the properties fronting on Duarte Road east of Santa Anita and west of First Avenue are proposed to be rezoned from PR-1 to C-2. This area is developed with parking for the commercial uses fronting on Duarte Road. GP/Zone Changes 9114/04 Page 19 " . . .

The front portion (approximately 125'.:!:) of the lots fronting on Foothill Boulevard are zoned C-2 and the rear portions of the properties are zoned PR-1 (R-1 with a parking overlay). The depth of the PR-1 zoning ranges from 106'.:!: to 155'.:!:. Only parking is allowed in the "P" overlay area. The General Plan designation for the properties is Commercial. In December 2003, an application was submitted by Rich Development Company to rezone the approximate 155.5-foot wide strip of property at the rear portion of 245-253 East Foothill Boulevard from PR-1 to C-2/General Commercial. The General Plan designation of the property is Commercial. The Planning Commission at its January 27, 2004 meeting voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the requested Zone Change to the City Council. On March 2, 2004, the City Council after receiving public testimony, tabled its consideration of the zone change and recommended that the item be discussed as part of the City-wide General Plan and Zoning consistency review. Staff is recommending approval of the zone change from PR-1 to C-2 consistent with the underlying zoning of the property. GP/Zone Changes 9/14/04 Page 24 ., . .

Lots in this area range from a little over 7,380 square feet to over 39,000 sq. ft., with the average around 8,000+ sq. ft. The typical lot size in the area is compatible with a General Plan designation of SFR 0-6 du/ac. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development Services Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals. flora, fauna. ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the General Plan amendments and zone changes as proposed above tables. In regards to the "P" parking overlays throughout the study, it is the Development Services Department's opinion that removal of the "P" overlay on properties not utilized for commercial parking is appropriate. However, where requested bv adioinino residents, the Council may wish to maintain the "P" parking overlay to provide additional buffer for the adjoining residential properties. GP/Zone Changes 9/14/04 Page 27 . e . . . PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION General Plan amendments require adoption of a resolution that is forwarded to the City Council for consideration. Proposed zone changes do not require adoption of a resolution. Because the report addresses both potential zone changes and General Plan amendments, the Planning Commission should: 1. Direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution for the General Plan amendments setting forth the Commission's recommendation and findings for adoption at the Commission's next meeting, and 2. Direct staff to convey the Commission's recommendations and comments relative to proposed zone changes to the City Council for consideration at the same time as the proposed General Plan amendments, at a scheduled public hearing. If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions or comments regarding this text amendment, prior to the December 10 public hearing, please contact me at (626) 574-5442.

City of Arcadia General Plall and Zonin1f Consistency Project 1.0 Introduction The City of Arcadia, as the lead agency has determined that the proposed changes to land use and Zoning for those properties listed in Section 2.4 are subject to the guidelines and regulations of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Initial Study/Environmental Checklist addresses the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects with the proposed changes in land use andlor Zoning for the properties identified in Section 2.4. 1.1 Statutory Requirements In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and. pursuant to Section 15063 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City of Arcadia, acting as the lead agency, is required to undertake the preparation of an Initial Study to determine whether the project will have a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to 21080(c) of the Public Resources Code, the lead agency shall adopt a negative declaration or mitigated negative declaration if the lead agency determines that the proposed project would not have a significant effect on the environment or revisions to the proposed project mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur. This detennination must be based on there being no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the lead agency, that the project as proposed or revised will have a significant effect on the environment. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this document is to present an assessment of the environmental impacts that may result from the recommended changes in land use and Zoning designations for the properties listed in Section 2.4. Through preparation of an Initial Study/Environmental Checklist a detennination can be made as to whether the proposed project will create a significant effect on the environment. This Initial Study/Environmental Checklist will: (I) provide information to the lead agency as to the basis for deciding whether to prepare an EIR or negative declaration; (2) enable the lead agency to modify the project, mitigating an adverse impact, thereby enabling the project to qualify for a Negative Declaration; (3) assist in the preparation of an EIR, if one is required, to focus, identify, and explain the reasons for determining level of significance; (4) facilitate environmental assessment early in the process of the project; (5) provide documentation of the factual basis for finding in a negative declaration that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment; (6) eliminate unnecessary EIRs; and (7) deternline whether a previously prepared EIR could be used with the project. Furthermore, the Initial Study/Environmental Checklist shall include: (I) a description of the project, including the location of the project; (2) an identification of the environmental setting; Civic Solutions, Inc. 91712004 4 Initial Study/Negotive Declaratioll . . '. CiJy of Arcadia General Plan andZoninK Consistency Project (3) an identification of environmental effects by use of a checklist, matrix or other method, . provided that entries on a checklist or other form are briefly explained to indicate that there is some evidence to support then entries; (4) a discussion of ways to mitigate the significant effects identified, if any; (5) !ID examination of whether the project would be consistent with existing Zoning, plans, and other applicable land use controls; and (6) the name of the person or persons who prepared or participated in the initial study. . . 1.3 Incorporation by Reference In accordance with Section 15150 of the CEQA Guidelines, this environmental analysis has incorporated by reference the City of Arcadia General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report. This document was used during preparation of the Initial Study / Environmental Checklist and is available at the City of Arcadia, DevelopmentServices. Department. City of Arcadia General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report The City of Arcadia General Plan Update Environmental hnpact Report was certified in September. 1996. This document provides an assessment of the environmental impacts that would result from.the comprehensive update to the City of Arcadia's General Plan. The General Plan Update included land use changes and substantive policy changes on a citywide basis that allowed future development intensification ,and/or modifications that would occur as part of future discretionary actions. e 2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1 Project Location The City of Arcadia encompasses approximately II square miles of land in the western portion of the San Gabriel Valley (Figure I). The project area for the proposed changes to General Plan and Zoning designations include those areas within the incorporated boundaries of the City of Arcadia. The project area is bordered by the cities of Monrovia and Irwindale to the east, El Monte and Temple City to the south,.Pasadena and Sierra Madre to the west, and Sierra Madre to the north. At its northernmost border, the City abuts the Angeles National Forest. Unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County also abut portions of the city limits to the,southeast and west (Figure 2). 2.2 Environmental Setting Arcadia is a mature suburban community, The City and its sphere of influence are largely built out. Only approximately one percent of the General Plan project area consists of vacant land. Opportunities for new development consist primarily of intensification of uses on underutilized Civic Solutions, Inc. 9/7/2004 5 Initial StlJdylNegatlve Declaration . .' '. . e I . .

City of Arcadia General Plan and Zoning Consistency Pro/eCI The City of Arcadia is composed of four general types of land uses: neighborhood residential, commercial centers, employment generating uses, and recreation areas. Residences occupy the majority of the city; nearly 75 percent of the land within the project area is devoted to residential uses, the bulk of which is single family homes configured in traditional suburban neighborhood design. The residential neighborhoods in the southern portion of the City consist largely of ranch-style homes, with streets laid out in a grid configuration. Over the last several years, there have been a growing number of spot demolitions of single family homes to make way for larger homes, covering a greater proportion of the lot. Residential neighborhoods in the western and northern portions ofthe City tend to consist oflarger homes on larger lots. Multiple family uses are concentrated in West Arcadia south of Huntington Drive between Holly A venue and Michillinda Avenue, in the downtown area south of Huntington Drive, east of Santa Anita Avenue and, to a lesser extent, along First Avenue between Foothill and Colorado Blvds. Within these areas, a transition has been occurring from single to multiple family units. The area south of downtown has the greatest potential for future conversion ofsingle family to multiple family units. . Commercial uses include the Santa Anita Fashion Park mall, located at the northeast comer of Baldwin Avenue and Huntington Drive; visitor serving uses adjacent to the Santa Anita racetrack; service uses in the downtown area; and relail development along Baldwin Avenue south of Huntington Drive, Foothill Boulevard, Duarte Road, and Live Oak Avenue. Employmen1 generating uses in Arcadia include office development in the downtown area and industrial uses in the southernmost portion of the, City, adjacent to the City ofEI Monte. 2.3 Project Background In 1996, the City of Arcadia undertook and completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan. An Environmental Impact Report (ElR) was prepared and certified which fully analyzed the potential impacts resulting from the implementation of the General Plan. As part of the 1996 General Plan Update effort, the City of Arcadia recognized that the city was nearly built out, leaving only a few areas where infill development would be probable. As a result, the General Plan Update focused on land use changes within four target areas, referred to as "transition areas". These transition areas are identified as the "Commercial Entertainment", "Santa Clara StreetlHuntington Drive", Downtown Residential", and "Lower Azusa Road". The balance of the areas within the City would remain relatively unchanged. The General Plan Update also evaluated several land use alternatives including the "Existing General Plim" (no project) alternative, and three additional land use scenarios that considered varying levels of development intensity within the four ''transition areas;' of the City. Ci\I;C Solut;ons),lnc. 9/7/2001/. 8 llliliaJ Study/NegaJive Declaratioll . City of Areadhi General Plan and'Zoning CimsistellCY PriJiect . '. The 1996 General Plan established land use development policies and programs to enhance the . enVironmental, social, physical, and economic well-bemg of Arcadia. These policies and programs also preserve the identity of Arcadia as the "Conimunity of Homes" and ensure development quality, eliminate and prevent land use conflicts, and minimize potential impacts on public services and infrastructure. To ensure that the City's land use goals and policies are properly implemented, it is necessary that Zoning designations are consistent with the land use designations established in the General Plan. Although since adoption of the 1996 General Plan several individual zone changes have been adopted to create consistency between the General Plan and Zoning designations, several inconsistencies, throughout the City, remain to be addressed. 2.4 Project Characteristics The City of Arcadia has initiated a citywide General Plan and Zoning Consistency Project to ensure land use consistency between the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. As a charter city, Arcadia is not currently required to meet the State law requirement (Section 65860) for consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. However, it is the policy of the City to maintain such land use consistency. In addition, the project includes identification of several existing non-conforming uses and minor clean-up items that are to be addressed as part of this comprehensive effort. The City has identified over 265 properties that require changes to their General Plan and/or . Zoning designations to provide consistency between the City's General Plan and Zoning . Ordinance. The properties have been grouped into the following seven sub-areas. I. Live Oak Corridor 2. Baldwin Avenue Corridor 3. Downtown Corridor 4. Foothill and First Corridor 5. Colorado Place Corridor 6. Marendale Subdivision 7. City Properties A brief description of each sub-area and list of affected properties are i.ncluded in the paragraphs and tables below. Live Oak Corridor The Live Oak Corridor consists of 58 properties proposed for a change in land use and/or Zoning designation that are generaUylocated along Live Oak Avenue, between EI Monte Avenue and Sixth Avenue in the southeast portion of the City (Figure 3). Primary land uses in this area consist of a combination of commercial-manufacturing and general commercial properties, with limited medium to high density residential properties. The proposed changes would better reflect the existing uses onsiteand provide consistency with existing Zoning. Civic Solutions, lnc. 9/712004 9 Initial Study/Negative Deelaratioll . .' . e . . .

" . . City of Arcadia General P14n and ZoninK Consislellcy Proiecl 4.0 Environmental Checklist and Analysis This section analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the project. The issue areas evaluated as part of this environmental analysis are discussed below in the following sections. 4.1 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts For the evaluation of potential impacts, off.site as well as on-site, direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the project are considered. To each question under the respective issue area as outlined in the environmental checklist, there are four possible responses to the level of potential impact: . No Impact. The project will not have any measurable environmental impact on the environment. . Less Than Significant Impact. The proj ect will have the potential for impacting the environment, although this impact will be below established thresholds that are considered 10 be significant. . Less Than Significant Impact with Mitigation Incorporated, The project will have the potential to generate impacts which may be considered as a significant effect on the environment, although mitigation measures or changes to the development's physical or operational characteristics can reduce these impacts to levels that are less than significant. . Potentially Significant Impact. The project will have impact that are considered significant, and additional analysis is required to identify mitigation measures that could reduce these impacts to less than significant levels. All responses must take account of the whole action involved. If there is a determination that potential impacts may occur, mitigation measures will be required that includes a description of how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level. 4.2 Aesthetics Potentially Slgnifiunt PotendaU)' Unlc:.u Leu Than Will the proposal result in: SigDUlcant MldgatioD Significanl No '-" Jncorptmlted Imparl lmPJItt (aJ Have'8 substantial adverse effect on a scenic-vista'?

City of Arcadia General Plan. and Zoning Consistency Pro;ect (d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would'adversely affect da or ni httime views, in the,area? Impact Discussion: (a-d) The proposed General Plan and Zoning Consistency project involves specific changes in land use and Zoning designations to selected properties located throughout the city. The affected properties have been grouped into seven sub-areas within the City. Each sub-area is located in an area of the City that is relatively built out. The proposed changes would provide consistency between the General Plan and Zoning designations for the existing use on each property. The proposed designation changes do not propose any changes from existing uses. within each sub-area; and therefore, would not have a significant affect on the visual character of the City, create an adverse effect on any scenic vistas or resources, or create substantial glare as a result of the changes in designations.. Furthermore, most properties proposed for a change in land use and/or Zoning designation include existing development onsite and the proposed changes are not expected to significantly alter development patterns analyzed in the 1996 EIR prepared for the City's General Plan update. The City will continue to enforce its existing policies and regulations, which will mitigate any potential impacts to aesthetics to a level of insignificance. Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required since no impacts to aesthetics would occur as a result of the proposed changes to land use and Zoning as part of the General Plan and Zoning Consistency project. e 4.3 Agricultural Resources Potentially Sigolflcant pottudally U......

(c) Involve other changes in the existing environment, which_ due to their D 0 0 I8l location crnature, could resullin Conversion of Farmland, to non- awicultural use? Impact Discussion: (a"c) The project is to create consistency between the City of Arcadia's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Each property proposed for a change in land use and/or Zoning designation has an existing residential and/or commercial designation. As a result, the project would not result in the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses. Furthermore, there are no lands designated as Prime Farmland, Unique Fannland, or Civic Solutions, Inc. 8/2412004 31 Initial StudylNegative Declaratwn . ., . e e . . City of Arcadia General Plan and Zoning Consistency Project Farmland of Statewide Importance nor are any lands within the City boundaries under a Williamson Act contract. Therefore, no impacts to agricultural resources are anticipated. Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required since no impacts to agricultural resources would occur as a result of the proposed project. 4.4 Air Quality Po~eDtial1)' Siznlntaltt Potenda.lI)' UnlcM Les'Than Would the proposal result in: SlgnificllDt Mldgndon Significant N.

(d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrittions? (e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? Impact Discnssion: (a) The project area is within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), which includes Los Angeles and Orange County as well as portions of Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Air Quality conditions in the Basin are under the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The SCAQMD and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) are responsible for formulating and implementing an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) for the basin. The current AQMP was approved in 2003. Implementation of the AQMP is based on a series of control measures that vary by source type, such as stationary or mobile, as well as by the pollutant targeted. Since the AQMP is based on growth projections reflected in local General Plans, only new or amended General Plans, or projects that exceed the level of development contemplated in the General Plan have the potential to conflict with the AQMP. The proposed changes in land use and Zoning designations as part of this project to create consistency between the City of Arcadia's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance is consistent with the development contemplated in the City of Arcadia's General Plan and therefore no conflict with the AQMP would occur. (b-e) The 1996 General Plan ElR analyzed both the short-term and long-term air quality impacts. Short-term impacts are usually associated with construction and grading activities. Long-term impacts are typically associated with build out conditions. Although most long-term emissions are due to increased vehicular use, nominal emissions are also associated with combustion of natural gas involved in space and water heating and generation of electrical power Ilsed within the City. The proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency project will not increase the intensity and/or density of development within the City of Arcadia beyond that already analyzed in the 1996 General Plan ElR. The City Civic Solutions, Inc. 8/24/2004 32 Initial Study/Negative Declarat/oll . . City of Arcadia General Plan andZoninl( Consistency Project has established an,air quality mitigation program including dust control measures, various traffic control measures and traffic reduction policies, and a commitment to active sub- regional efforts to help mitigate regional air quality iIIlpacts. Full implementation of,these 'policies and programs will reduce potential air quality iIIlpacts to a level of insignificance. Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required since no impacts to air quality would occur as a result of the proposed project. 4.5 Biological Resources PottDtWly SJ&Dlfitan~ Pote~~alJy Unlru Leu Tba Will the project result in: Slgnificaar Mldgadon Sigitffleallt No Impact lacorporate:d ImpaCt Impact, (a) Have a substantial edverseetTeot, either direotly or through,)1abitilt modifications, (;m any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special 0 0 0 [gI status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California De artment of Fish and Game or U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service?

(f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted HaIlitat Conservation Plan, 0 0 0 [gI Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation Ian? Impact Discussion: (a-d) Asa highly urbanized area, there are relatively few significant biological resources. The proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency project includes properties primarily concentrated in the developed portions of the City, where no significant biological resources occur. However, for those areas included as part of this project that contain some level of biological resources, they are to be designated as public facilities/open space and'would be protected from development. As a result, no iIIlpacts are anticipated to occur to wildlife habitat and/or sensitive species within the project area. (e) The proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency project does not change the City's policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, particularly with respect to the City's Oak Tree Preservation Ordinance protecting significant oak tree species within the Civic Solutions, Inc. 8/24/2004 33 Initial.8tudy/Negative Declaration , , . e . . e . , . . City of Arcadia General Plan and ZoninK Consistency Pro;ect City. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (f) The project area is not located within an identified habitat conservation plan area and therefore, no conflicts are anticipated with provisions of any habitat conservation plans. Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required since no impacts to biological resources are anticipated as a result ofthe proposed project. 4.6 Cultural Resources Pottndall)' Sig-nlOunt Potentially Unless Less TbaD Will the project result in: SlgQinanl 'MIlIlalion SignlfitlDt No Impact IJJcorporattd hnpnct lmpa<l (.)

(d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal 0 0 0 IZI cemeteries? Impact Discussion: (a-d) The 1996 General Plan EIR found no significant archaeological and/or paleontological sites within the City. However, the City contains several historical resources. For the most part, these historical resources are located on publicly owned properties. The proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency project would not change the land use or Zoning designations of these properties. However, for those historical resources located on privately owned sites, existing City policies and programs ensure preservation ofthese resources. Additionally, if unknown archaeological resources are encountered as part of future development within the City, the City's development review process utilizes criteria provided in Development Performance Standards listed in the City's General Plan that would reduce any potential future project speci'fic impacts to cultural or scientific resources to a less than sigUmcant level. As a. result, no impacts are anticipated to cultural resources from implementation of the proposed project. Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required since no impacts to cultural resources are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.

Impact Discussion: (a-e) The proposed General Plan and Zoning Consistency project is located in an area subject to seismic activity. There are several faults in the area and region, with two local faults located within the project area. The City of Arcadia prepared an Environmental Impact Report for the comprehensive update to the City's General Plan in 1996. The EIR discussed in detail the earthquake hazards and potential impacts associated with future development envisioned under the General Plan Update. The proposed changes in land use and/or Zoning designations as part of the GeneralPlanlZoning Consistency Analysis project would allow future residential, co=ercial"and' industrial. uses in areas generally consistent,with the 1996 General Plan. The City has established policies and programs to reduce the potential for damage or injury from earthquakes ,and other seismic-related hazards, including requiring compliance with the State Building Code for all structures. As a result, potential impacts associated with future'development on properties proposed for a change in land use and/or Zoning designations as part of this project would be considered less than significant. Due to regional seismic activity, future development associated with the proposed General PlanlZoning Consistency project may be affected by secondary seismic impacts: liquefaction, collapse, subsidence, lateral spreading, landslides, and/or slope instability. The 1996 General Plan EIR. analyzed in detail the potential impacts from such hazards and the City subsequently adopted several policies, programs, and development performance standards that reduce potential secondary seismic impacts on future.

The properties proposed for a change in land use and/or Zoning designations are located in areas previously analyzed under the 1996 General Plan EIR; and, therefore, DO significant impacts are anticipated to occur with respect to secondary seismic impacts. . Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required, since potential impacts to geology and soils are considered less than significant with compliance of City regulations concerning geologic hazards. 4.8 Hazards and Hazardous Materials pottndllllf Significant UnI...

However, the City does receive a considerable amount of runoff generated from watershed areas in the San Gabriel Mountains via four major washes. From west to east, they are the Eaton Wash, Arcadia Wash, Sierra Madre Wash, and Santa Anita Wash. The drainage facilities for each ofthese washes are maintained by the Los Angeles County Flood Control Districts. The flood control channels of the four washes are designed to convey the waters of the 100 year flood, thereby preventing any 100 year flooding. Furthermore, given the lack of penneable surfaces in the City, future development associated with the proposed project would not substantially alter existing drainage patterns in the area or increase Stormwater levels to a degree that would require modifications to the regional facilities. Therefore, no impacts to hydrology and water Civre Solutio/ls, f/le. 8/24/2004 37 fnitialStudy/Negative neclaration e '. . e e , . . , airy of Arcadia General Plan and Zoning COllsistencv Project quality are anticipated to occur from the proposed project, which includes changes to land use and Zoning designations for selected properties located throughout the City.

(c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation. plan or natural 0 0 0 181 community conservation nlan? Impact Discussion: (a,b) The primary purpose of the proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency project is to provide consistency between the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance, as required by City policy to remain consistent with State law. Through the 1996 General Plan Update, the City established its long-term goals and objectives relative to growth and development within Arcadia. The adopted General Plan Land Use Element addresses the land use goals and priorities of the community. These goals and priorities have been used as the primary guideline for land use revisions proposed in the General Plan/Zoning Consistency project. The primary task is to ensure that the Zoning designations are revised for selected properties to provide consistency between the land use and Zoning designations. The project will not intensify general development within the City, or allow for conflicts and incompatibility between land uses. Although, the project may result in changes to the current land use type and pattern within the City, these changes are minimal and with full implementation of the 1996 General Plan EIR land use mitigation program, no impacts beyond those analyzed in the 1996 General Plan EIR are anticipated to occur. (c) The City of Arcadia's General Plan/Zoning Consistency project is not located within any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. As a result, the project would not conflict with any of these environmental plans and therefore, no impacts would occur. Mitigation and Residual Impact: No mitigation is required since no impacts to land I.(se and planning are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.

The primary noise source within the City is noise from motor vehicles on roadways, while secondary noise sources include commercial/industrial ilses, aircraft, rail, and construction activities. The City of Civic Solutions, Inc. 8124/2004 39 InitiaIStudylNegative Declaration e '. , - e , . . , CiJy of Arcadia General Plan and ZOllin/( Consistency Pro;ect Arcadia's 1996 General Plan EIR assessed potentially significant noise impacts on sensitive receptors, based on traffic, commercial/industrial uses, aircraft, rail, and construction activities. The City's Noise Element sets forth specific policies and implementation measures to help reduce or mitigate any potentially significant noise impacts. The proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency project will not alter the pattern of development within the City so as to generate significantly different noise impacts from those already assessed in the 1996 General Plan EIR. All future development will be subject to noise reduction requirements in effect to help reduce any potentially significant impacts. Mitigation and Residual Impact: Compliance with the City's Noise Element would reduce potential noise impacts to a less-than-significant level. Therefore, no mitigation is necessary. 4.13 Population and Housing Potentially Significant Potentially Ulllesl L6liTblln Will the project result in: Significant Midgadon 51goirlcanl N.

However, these revisions ~e not anticipated to significantly affect the provision of housing opportunities within the City. Therefore, impacts to population and housing are considered less than significant.

' Impact Discussion: (a) Although the proposed General Plan/Zoning Consistency ,project may result in some changes in the type and intensity ofland uses within the City, it is not expected to result in a significant increase in use of existing recreational facilities to the point that would substantially deteriorate such faCilities. The City's 1996 General Plan EIR determined Civie Solutions, Inc. 8/24/2004 41 Initilll StudylNegllliveDeclaration e l. , I ~ - , . . , City of Arcadia Gelleral Plan and ZoninR Consistency Project that build out of the General Plan would not result in any potentially significant effects on the availability of recreational facilities. Furthermore, the City has implemented a development performance standard that requires all new residential development to pay park development fees to offset the costs of providing future park and recreational facilities to maintain current levels of services and meet any future needs. (b) The project does not include nor require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities as part of the proposed project, and therefore, no impacts would occur.

The revisions, however, are anticipated to occur within the parameters of the Buildout scenario analyzed in the 1996 General Plan EIR. The project is not proposing substantial intensification of land uses in particular areas, or an increase in density resulting in a substantial increase in traffic volwnes within or surrounding the City. As part of the 1996 General Plan ErR, the City of Arcadia has established a traffic mitigation program, which addresses the potential impacts resulting from Buildout of the General Plan. Continued implementation of the programs and policies as set forth in the Circulation Element to mitigate regional and local circulation needs will reduce the potential impacts to a level of insignificance.

C:~1l .,',' lJ._ . . _~. . ""'- "-"" JJ:.rt:Ui, Dear Councilmen and Councilwoman: I live at 316 Santa Rosa Road, which is in the Colorado Place Corridor and immediately North of the properties listed on Santa Rosa Road in Table 4 of The Notice of Public Hearing, dated August 23, 2004. It is very difficult to understand how increasing the density of dwelling units on these properties can result in a Negative Declaration ofEnvironmenta\ Impact. The traffic and parking congestion at the corner of Santa Rosa Road and San Juan Drive and along Santa Rosa Road between San Juan Drive and Colorado Boulevard is already too much owing to the restaurant, motel and multiple single family units now located there. By increasing the allowable dwelling unit density for these properties by a factor of four will guarantee a significant increase in traffic Amd parking congestion. With ,the General Plan change recommended by the City Staff I can foresee .,santa Rosa Road looking like Fairview or Arcadia Avenues East and West of Baldwin Avenues or some street in New York City. The street will be lined with parked cars whose owners have been granted overnight parking permits or whose owners are visiting the restaurant. Cars speeding up and down the street (which occurs now) will measurably increase. Repeating myself; it is impossible to understand how the potential conditions described above can be ignored to arrive at the conclusion of a Negative Declaration of Environments Impact. I request that, absent a full Environmental Impact Assessment and Report, the dwelling unit density for the properties on Santa Rosa Road be left unchanged. I further recommend that the entire General Plan be subjected to a full Environmental Impact Assessment and Report. Sincerely, kcf~iuL Hans L. Richter cc: Development Services Department . Hans L.
