Santa Anita Avenue and surrounding properties. The Parcel Map is necessary to consolidate five lots and a vacated alley into two lots that will separate the existing office tower at 150 North Santa Anita Avenue from the proposed mixed-use component. As part of the conditions of approval for the project, the developer is required to dedicate additional portions of right- of-way and easements for public use, along the property’s street and alley frontages. The Parcel Map is now ready for approval and the dedications and easements are offered on the Map. In consideration of the developer’s offer of dedications and easements, it is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7533 with a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); accepting the dedications for street and sidewalk purposes, and easements for sidewalks and public utilities as set forth in Parcel Map No. 83499. BACKGROUND The City Council approved The Alexan Arcadia Mixed Use Development in June 2022, which included the approval of Minor Use Permit No. MUP 21-08, Architectural Design Review No. ADR 21-12, Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 21-02, and General Plan Acceptance of Offers of Dedications and Easement on Parcel Map No. 83499 December 19, 2023 Page 2 of 3 Consistency No. 22-01. The development is located at 150 N. Santa Anita Avenue and surrounding properties, and is bound by Santa Anita Avenue on the west, Santa Clara Street on the north, the north/south alley adjacent to the Arcadia Post Office on the east, and Wheeler Avenue on the south. The development proposes a seven-story mixed-use building containing 319 residential units, including 26 affordable units and eight live-work units, and a parking structure with 551 parking spaces to be shared by all uses on site. The existing eight-story office building will remain on site as well as the one-story Bank of America building and drive-through ATM use, and a plaza will be constructed to connect these existing uses to the new building. The Parcel Map is necessary to consolidate the existing lots and create two new lots to separate the existing buildings along Santa Anita Avenue from the new development. As a condition of approval on the Parcel Map, the developer is required to dedicate several portions of right-of-way for street and sidewalk purposes, and easements for sidewalk and public utilities, along the property frontages. The Final Parcel Map was reviewed and approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works and is now ready for approval and acceptance of the dedications and easements. DISCUSSION The Applicant/Property Owner has submitted the Final Parcel Map with the right-of-way dedications and easements, meeting all Conditions of Approval for the Tentative Map. The offers of dedication are as follows: • Santa Anita Avenue – A three-foot dedication for street and sidewalk purposes, and a two-foot non-exclusive easement for public utility purposes; • Santa Clara Street – Adjacent to the Bank of America building – A four-foot additional dedication for street and sidewalk purposes; • Santa Clara Street – Adjacent to new building – A one-foot additional dedication for street and sidewalk purposes, and a five-foot easement for sidewalk purposes; • North/South Alley – A variable width public access/walkway easement adjacent to the alley, minimum width of five-feet with wider segments at the driveway entrance to the parking structure and at the corner with Wheeler Avenue; and • Wheeler Avenue – A two-foot easement for sidewalk purposes at the new development driveway. Since the dedications and easements are offered on the Map, the City Council must either accept or reject the offer before the Map can be approved. Accepting the dedications and easements is recommended and will place them in the public domain. The dedications will be exclusively for public use and the easements will allow for specific public uses while allowing the property owner use of the land for non-interfering uses. Acceptance of Offers of Dedications and Easement on Parcel Map No. 83499 December 19, 2023 Page 3 of 3 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed right-of-way dedications and easements are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15301(c) because this action consists of a legal transfer of ownership, or right of use, which will result in negligible or no expansion of use beyond the project that was analyzed. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no measurable fiscal impact incurred by the City as a result of these dedications and easements. The land has some minor value and will require ministerial maintenance to ensure it is useable by the public and not hazardous. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7533 with a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); accepting dedications for street and sidewalk purposes, and easements for sidewalks and public utilities from the property at 150 North Santa Anita Avenue and surrounding properties as part of Parcel Map No. 83499 for the Alexan Arcadia Mixed Use Development.
