The site is bounded by Foothill Boulevard, Dalton Avenue, and the rail right-of-way. The project does not include the Senior Center building; however the project is located adjacent to the Senior Center building's north, south, and west. The project proposes the construction of 73 dwelling units (57 stacked condominium units located over retail and 16 townhomes), 9,000 square feet of retail, and a 164 space parking structure serving the stacked flats and retail components. The construction will take place within two phases.' The second phase's (i a the townhomes) construction will not beein until the replacement of the Senior Center's parking has been satisfactorily replaced. The project also proposes narrowing and!realigning Dalton Avenue. The City Council is being,asked to take four actions. The four actions are: • approval of a General Plan Amendment for the Senior Center parking lot; • introduce the first reading of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment establishing the Downtown North — Dalton Overlay Zone and approving zoning map change Z-2007-01; approval of a Vesting Tentative Map VTTM 069751 consolidating 11 lots into four lots; • approval of a Design Review for the proposed project. I Page 2 of 19 April 7, 2008 _ The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON—FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION To assist the City Council with its deliberations and decision-making, an Addendum to the 2004 City of Azusa General Plan and Development Code Certified Final EIR is submitted for review. The Planning Commission approved and the Downtown North Advisory Committee unanimously recommended approval of the project. THE PROJECT The proposed project is the construction of a 73-unit residential mixed-use project including 57 stacked, condominium flats over 9,000 square feet of retail, 164 automobile parking spaces located within a wrapped parking garage, and 16 townhome units'. The proposed project will realign Dalton Avenue and remove the landscaped median within Dalton Avenue. The proposed project does not include the Senior Center building, see Exhibit A. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT ADDENDUM Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) provides that a Subsequent EIR has to be prepared if a determination is made based on substantial evidence, that one or more of the following exists: 1. Substantial changes to the project are made, requiring major revisions to the previous EIR. 2. Substantial changes have occurred regarding circumstances under which the project is undertaken, requiring major revisions to the previous EIR. 3. New information of substantial importance has developed, which was not known at the time the previous EIR was certified, and which shows any of the following: a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. b. Previously identified significant effects will be substantially more severe. c. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible are now feasible, or are considerably different than those analyzed in the previous EIR, either of which would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the project proponents decline to adopt the measures or alternatives. Section 15164 allows the preparation of an Addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions requiring a Subsequent EIR have occurred. Thus, an Addendum to the General Plan Elk is appropriate where the City Council finds, based on substantial evidence, that none of conditions listed above have occurred. BACKGROUND The City of Azusa and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa is the project applicant. The applicant is requesting approval of four actions: (a) Vesting Tentative Tract Map for mixed-use condominiun-/retail and townhome purposes, (b) an amendment to the General Plan Land Use designation of the Senior Center parking lot from "Public / Civic" to "Commercial/Residential Mixed Use (Up to 27 du/ac)," (c) an overlay zone that amends height, development and site ' The project monoses 16 townhomes on the current Senior Center parking lot Note as a Condition of Approval the demolition of the parking lot will not occur until adequate replacement senior parking has been provided to the satisfaction of the Economic and Community Development Director. (Note that the Panning_Commission has recommended that the parking replacement needs to be to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission rather than the ECD Director.)

The subject parcels include the Senior Center parking lot (five parcels) and the six, Redevelopment Agency-owned parcels, which are now vacant. The entire site is bordered to the north by the railroad and a residential multifamily complex beyond the tracks. To the south is Foothill Boulevard with commercial land uses across the street. To the west, across Dalton Avenue, are City Hall, Azusa City Park and the Library. The property abuts single- and multi-family residential homes to the east, and a fast food restaurant. The existing General Plan land use designation for the parking lot portion of the site is District Downtown/Civic: Public/Civic. This designation will not allow it to be developed as a residential use. As a result, the General Plan designation is proposed to be changed from "Downtown/Civic District: Public/Civic" to "Downtown/Civic District: Commercial/Residential Mixed Use", thereby allowing residential and mixed use on the site and will be consistent with the designation for the southern portion of the Dalton site. The General Plan emphasizes transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly development for all of the Downtown Districts. Residential uses are allowed as a part of mixed-use projects. The existing zoning for the site is District Civic Center (DCC). The Development Code suggests that the site be used for a future public library; however, the library use is not mandatory. The proposed zoning overlay will result in a development alternative that permits housing units closer to the transit station, provide retail goods and services to nearby residential uses, and will, possibly, increase the funds available for the development of a new library. In anticipation of receiving State funds for construction of a new library in the early 2000's, the City of Azusa acquired parcels on the southern portion of the east side of the 700 block of N. Dalton Ave. The construction of a new library has been a longtime City goal and is discussed in the Downtown Civic Center District of the Development Code. State funding, however, did not become available and the City has determined that construction of a library on the project site was not feasible without it. The plan for the 700 block of North Dalton Avenue at Foothill Boulevard is a single project that will be developed in two phases. The two phased project consists of: Phase 1: 57 stacked-flat condominium units in three-stories over 9,000 square feet of retail, 164 automobile parking spaces located within a "wrapped" parking garage with separate retail and residential parking spaces, and all exterior garage and residential entrances will have 24- hour camera surveillance. The residential stacked-flat units will range in size from 1,085 square feet (2 bedroom/2 bath) to 1,695 square feet (3 bedroom/2 bath). Phase 2: 16 townhome units located in five 2- and 3-story buildings. The townhome units will vary in size from 1,503 square feet (3 bedrooms/2 1h baths) to 2,139 square feet (4 bedrooms/3 112 bath). Each,townhome unit will have two parking spaces located within its attached garage. Four guest parking spaces will be located on-site. The project includes a Condition of Approval prohibiting the townhome development until adequate replacement parking accommodations are provided for the Senior Center. DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc Page 5 of 19 April 7, 2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Cour. Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION I In addition, Dalton Avenue will be realigned, and narrowed. The median will also be removed. Ultimately, the Dalton Avenue right-of-way will be 60 feet rather than current 80 feet to promote traffic calming. The 20 foot strip of land beneath Dalton Avenue will be vacated and adjoined to the adjacent property. It is proposed to construct a bus turnout with van and handicapped parking in front of the Senior Center: A developer will provide a gated pedestrian access from 8t" Street to the relocated transformer located adjacent to the Senior Center. A developer will provide a new Senior Center sign to replace the existing sign. In addition, the developer will make facade improvements to the north side of the Senior Center to meet fire code requirements, as necessary. I The blended density for the project is 26.6 dus/ac; this is below the allowable 27.0 dus/ac. The blended floor area ratio (FAR), minus the parking structure's upper levels square footage, is 1.39. In general, the mixed-use! building facing Foothill Boulevard will be four stories wrapping around an interior parking structure! At the northern end of the parking structure, the mixed-use building decreases in height to a'total of three stories. The townhomes will be two and three stories in height. I The mixed-use building will be oriented towards Foothill Boulevard. As such, the "front" of the parcel is along Foothill Boulevard, the "side yard - side street" of the parcel is along Dalton Avenue, the "rear" of the parcel is along the Senior Center, and the "side yard - interior" is along the midblock property line between California Burger and the proposed project. The townhomes' parcel will be oriented towards Dalton Avenue. As such, the parcel's "front" is along Dalton Avenue, the "side yard - interior" of the parcel are along the rail tracks and Senior Center, and the "rear" of the parcel faces the midblock property lines between the adjacent residential units and the proposed project. It is proposed that the Redevelopment Agency will have the option to purchase covenants for up to 15% of all units (11 units) for moderate income affordable housing. The units will be initially marketed to senior citizens exclusively for a period no less than nine and not longer than twelve months. If.after the exclusive senior marketing period has lapsed and senior citizen applicants have not qualified or purchased the housing, the units would then also be marketed to potential home buyers with moderate Incomes. I The Azusa Development (Code, Section 88 will be amended to include the Downtown North-Dalton Overlay. This overlay pertains only to those parcels related to the proposed development on the 700 block of N. Dalton Avenue. The Development Code Overlay amends height, use, setbacks, and fencing. The Downtown(North - Dalton Overlay will allow for comprehensive site design guidelines and standards to be imposed on the entire project in a uniform manner. i The Downtown North Advisory Committee (DNAC), which is made up of two City Council members, local business representatives, and local community members, reviewed the current project at eleven of their'public meetings and voted to unanimously support it. City staff met with Senior Center patrons in November 2007 to discuss the project and to address any questions/issues the'. patrons might have with proposed plan. Since November, City staff met with the Senior Advisory�Council on January 8, 2008. At this meeting the Senior Advisory Council voted to favor the option of a new Senior Center in a joined facility in the Civic Center. The project that is before the City Council does not include the development of a new Senior Center at this time. 4 DaltonGeneralPlanAmen_040708.doc Page 6 of 19 April 7,2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION On November 11, 2007, a staff-level Azusa Design Review Board meeting was convened and comments were received from City and County departments. On January 8, 2008, City Planning staff met with Police Department, Azusa Light and Water, and Engineering Division representatives to review the proposed Conditions of Approval. In addition, on January 2, 2008 the City staff met with a number of Los Angeles County Fire Department representatives to discuss emergency fire response access. On January 16, 2008, a City Building representative met with the Los Angeles County Fire Department representative to review the proposed Conditions of Approval. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has approved the proposed project with the inclusion of Conditions of Approval. On March 12, 2008, the City of Azusa Planning Commission convened and continued a public hearing regarding the proposed project. Public testimony was received at that meeting. On March 26, 2008, the Planning Commission reopened the public hearing and received additional testimony. After closing the public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the project and recommended that the City Council approve the Design Review, approve General Plan Amendment, approve Zoning Code Amendment, and approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map (vote 3 ayes, 1 nay, I recused). As part of its recommendation, the Planning Commission recommends two changes to the Conditions of Approval. The proposed changes are indicated by bold/underlined font and strike-through font: • Condition of Approval A2 - Initiation of the townhomes' construction, including the demolition of the Senior Center parking lot on Lot 4, shall not occur until the Senior Center's parking spaces have been replaced to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission. • Condition of Approval Al —Windows with a minimum STC-32 rating are recommended for bedroom windows associated with dwelling units along Foothill Boulevard and at the Dalton Avenue/Foothill Boulevard corner that are directly exposed to traffic noise. As the City Council is aware, the City of Azusa entered into a series of agreements with Watt Genton to prepare plans for this North Dalton site. However, due to national economic climate, the developer's original management team is no longer in place. As such, the Redevelopment Agency has recently terminated the Memorandum of Understanding with Watt Genton. Although it was anticipated that the project would have been sold to Watt Genton after entitlements were secured, the City of Azusa and the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa ("RDA" or "Agency") are and were always the project applicant. The City and the RDA are in escrow or own the land on which the project is proposed. Given that such: • significant design and engineering work, • interagency coordination (specifically with the Los Angeles County Fire Department), • technical analyses, and • extensive community involvement through the Downtown North Advisory Committee have been conducted to date, and the City and the RDA have always been the applicant, there is no reason not to proceed to entitlement. The staff and consultant work has been completed to bring this project forward to entitlement. Once entitled, the City and RDA will be in a better position to .attract a well qualified capable developer who is in position to timely move forward with the DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc i f i Page 7 of 19 April 7,2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON—FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION I project. Additionally, entitled land, typically, has a higher value than land that is not entitled. As such, the City/RDA may be able to negotiate a higher price for the land when sold to a developer. It is anticipated that a developer will purchase the property along with entitlement package—plans, conditions of approval, etc. It is the City's/Agency's intention, at this time, to have the project constructed as entitled. However, as we are all aware, the real estate and development market has been severely impacted by the. economic climate over the past 12 months. At the time of a purchase by a developer, the future developer may construct the project as approved or may seek to make changes to the project as necessitated by the market conditions or other factors. If the project changes are sigfiificant, such as major site design or architectural design alterations, conditions of approval irevisions, etc., then the project changes would be scheduled for review/approval by the Planning Commission. I Although the Senior Center building, City Hall, and existing Civic Center are not a part of the current project, it is anticipated that the Senior Center may eventually be moved across Dalton Avenue to be better incorporated with the civic and public uses on the west side of the street. The new Senior Center building is a separate, future project.

The Subdivision Map Act requires the tract map conspicuously print "Vesting Tentative Map" on the face of the map. With the approval of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, the 1 1 existing lots will be consolidated into four lots, as shown in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map Resolution's Exhibit A. VTTM 069751 Lot 1 will consolidate the six lots located south of the Senior Center to Foothill Boulevard into a single lot. VTTM 069751 Lot 2 will create a rectangular shaped lot that is located to the south of the existing Senior Center and include the existing Senior Center access drive. This lot will be deeded to the developer during the construction of the project's mixed-use component. Upon the completion of the project's mixed-use component, VTTM 069751 Lot 2 will be deeded back to the City of Azusa. VTTM 069751 Lot 3 will ;create a rectangular shaped lot that is located to the west of the existing Senior Center. This lot will be deeded to the developer during the construction of the project's townhome component. ! Upon the completion of the project's townhouse component, VTTM 069751 Lot 3 will be deeded back to the City of Azusa. VTTM 069751 Lot 4 will consolidate the five lots that make up the current Senior Center parking area. Lot 2 and Lot 3 will be temporarily deeded to the developer, thereby, allowing the developer to make infrastructure and other improvements to these lots. When the improvements are complete, the developer will deed the lots back to the City/Redevelopment Agency for its use. This transfer is included as part of the Conditions of Approval. I Noise A noise study was prepared by LSA for this project. The required mitigation will be incorporated into the building design andl have been included as. conditions of approval. The project will follow Development Code requirements for the mitigation of construction noise. The LSA Noise Study is included as an attachment to the General Plan EIR Addendum. DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc I Page 10 of 19 April 7,2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION Traffic &Circulation The City Engineer reviewed a traffic study prepared by LSA for this project and agreed with its conclusion that no mitigation measures were deemed necessary. The existing signalized intersections along Foothill Boulevard in the vicinity of the project currently operate at satisfactory Level of Service (LOS) D or better during both peak hours. Addition of project traffic to the signalized intersection would not result in deterioration of the LOS to LOS E or F. Addition of project traffic to the Dalton Avenue/Foothill Boulevard intersection may increase the delay experienced on the Dalton Avenue approaches; however, improvements to this intersection are not recommended, as they are not warranted by the traffic volume and could negatively impact traffic signal progression along Foothill Boulevard. Proposed diagonal parking spaces on Dalton Avenue will result in reduced vehicular capacity and slower speeds along Dalton Avenue. Slower speeds along the street and increased safety and comfort for pedestrians will provide a greater sense of place for the Civic Center area, while Dalton Avenue will still provide adequate capacity for through vehicles. The LSA traffic study is included as an attachment to the General Plan EIR Addendum. Design Review Design Review is intended to ensure that the design of proposed development and new land uses assists in maintaining and enhancing the attractive appearance of the City. The purposes of the Design Review procedures are to: I. Recognize the interdependence of land values and aesthetics and encourage the orderly and harmonious appearance of development within the community; 2. Ensure that new uses and structures enhance their sites and are compatible with the highest standards of improvement in the surrounding neighborhoods; 3. Retain and strengthen the visual quality and attractive character of the community; 4. Assist project developers in understanding the City's concerns for the aesthetics of development; and 5. Ensure that development complies with all applicable City standards and guidelines, and does not adversely affect community health, safety, aesthetics, or natural resources. In accordance with the fundamental principles of pedestrian-oriented design, the proposed mixed- use building will be built adjacent to the sidewalks on Dalton Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The project is designed to enhance the pedestrian character of the Downtown District and specifically the Civic Center area, as is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the General Plan. The design of the parking structure, which is wrapped by the retail and residential uses, removes the parking from view on three sides, reinforcing the pedestrian nature of the space. The project proposes two separate vehicular entrances into the parking structure. One entrance is for the residential units' occupants and guests and the second entrance is for the retail uses' tenants and customers. In order to accommodate the retail tenants varied needs, the developer has prepared an alternative parking structure entrance scenario where both.the residential and retail uses will access the structure in a single entrance. In this case, the parking spaces dedicated for retail uses will be located on the lower levels and the parking spaces dedicated for residential uses will be located on upper floors. Access to the residential dedicated parking spaces will still be gated, thereby, limiting access to the residential spaces. The single vehicle entrance perspective is shown in Exhibit B. As part of the Planning Commission's recommendation for approval, the Economic and Community DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc i Page 11 of 19 April 7,2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL ML(ED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION Development Director will be granted the authority to permit the developer to build the single vehicular entrance, as needed, to meet retail tenant needs. The mixed-use building has been designed in traditional urban form with residences over sidewalk- adjacent storefronts. Parkingfor both the commercial and residential uses will be away from the street in a wrapped parking garage. The design of the mixed-use building creates an attractive street presence through the incorporation of a variety of elements, including decorative wrought iron railings and window grills, stone detailing, storefront awnings and the articulation of walls and roofline. The townhomesi have design details such as post and lintel porches, wood shutters, pot shelves under windows, and stucco trim. The building materials are tile roof and stucco. The area between the north side of the Senior Center and the townhomes will be buffered in such a way as to minimize the visual impact of the new construction. A four-foot masonry retaining wall, topped by a five-foot, wrought-iron fence will run along the edge of the two properties. Large- canopy trees will be a part of the landscaping in the buffer zone. A new, gated, pedestrian access will be provided from 8th Street to the relocated transformer adjacent to the Senior Center. On the south side of the Senior Center, the existing fire lane will be reconstructed and widened to create a 28-foot common driveway/fire lane. The proposed project's retail component will vary in character from the retail uses adjacent to the project site. The proposed project's retail character is one of an "urban, pedestrian oriented" setting where the uses abut the property line on Foothill and the parking is behind the retail use, while the adjacent retail use's character is one of a more "suburban" character where the parking is adjacent to the site and visible to traffic along Foothill Boulevard. The proposed project's fesidential character differs from the adjacent residential uses character. The proposed project, again, has a more urban character with stacked flats located above the retail uses. The mixed - use building containing the retail and residential units will be higher than the surrounding residential uses. The proposed project's townhome component is, also, different than the adjacent residential uses. The townhomes are clustered with each unit's parking being provided in that unit. The parking for the adjacent land uses varies from garages to carport. The townhomes' landscaping i will be planned to provide a green space for each unit and along Dalton. The plant palette will also be coordinated and planned to provide an aesthetically pleasing environment. The adjacent residential area's landscaping uses a variety of materials and hardscape resulting in a varied appearance. Both the residential components will be setback from the adjacent residential uses. The stacked flats will be no closer than 10 feet from the backyards of the adjacent residential uses, while the townhomes.will be no closer than six feet from the backyards. Between the mixed-use portion and the property wall will be iten feet of landscaping, including evenly spaced, 30-foot (at full growth) canopy trees. Between the townhomes and the wall will be 6 feet of landscaping. I VESTING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP FINDINGS Prior to approving Vesting Tentative Tract, the following findings must be made: I Such approval III not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the land is located, will not be contrary to ori adversely affect the general comprehensive zoning plan for the city. DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc I Page 12 of 19 April 7,2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MU(ED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION The Project will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare, nor will it be injurious to the property/improvements in the vicinity and zone. Additionally, the Project will be compatible with the general comprehensive zoning plan for the City. The project is located within the Downtown Civic Center ("DCC'`) zone. The Project is bordered to the north by railroad/MTA Gold Line tracks and multi-family residential complexes beyond them. To the south is Foothill Boulevard and commercial-use property across the street. To the west are City Hall, Azusa City Park, and the Library. To the east, the Project abuts single and multi- family residential properties and a fast food restaurant. The General Plan emphasizes transit-oriented, pedestrian friendly development for the DCC zone. The Project has been designed to be compatible with uses and properties within the DCC zone and adjacent neighborhoods. The Project will create residential and commercial development adjacent to the MTA Gold Line train tracks. The location of the Project will encourage pedestrians to walk from homes/businesses to the transit services provided by the MTA Gold Line. In accordance with the fundamental principles of pedestrian-oriented design, the Project will be built adjacent to the sidewalks on Dalton Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. The Project is designed to enhance the pedestrian character of the DCC zone and is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the General Plan. The design of the parking structure, which is wrapped by the retail and residential uses, removes the parking from view on three sides, reinforcing the pedestrian nature of the space. The new development will increase property values in the area and add an aesthetically pleasing element to the DCC zone through the construction of new building. Thus, the Project will benefit the residents of the City and furthers the goals of the General Plan by encouraging transit-oriented pedestrian friendly development. 2. Proper or adequate provision has been made for access to the land to be sold, divided or subdivided and also the portion of land remaining or that access to the land is by means of dedicated streets of a sufficient width and state of improvement to adequately serve the land described in the application. The Project has been designed to provide adequate access to its residences and retail establishments. Access to the Project is provided via Foothill Boulevard on the south and North Dalton Avenue on the west. Combined, these dedicated public streets are of sufficient width and have adequate capacity. to serve the proposed project as well as adjacent properties. Additionally, the City Engineer has concluded that any potential traffic associated with the Project is minimal and no intersection improvements are necessitated. Therefore, adequate provision has been made to provide access to the Project from dedicated streets of sufficient width. 3. Proper and adequate provisions have been made for all public utilities and public services, including sewers. The Project provides adequate provisions for all public utilities and public services. Under the Project, the Developer will install and maintain all walkways, lighting other improvements, structures and landscaping in the Project area. The Developer will also be responsible for providing adequate sewer connections to serve the Project. Thus, proper and adequate provisions exist for all public utilities and public services. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT FINDINGS DaltonGenera[PlanAmen 040708.doc Page 13 of 19 April 7, 2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON—FOOTHILL M D-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION Prior to approving this General Plan Amendment, the following findings must be made: I 1. That the proposed amendment is in the public interest and that there will be a community benefit resulting from the amendment. The proposed amendment is a crucial component to the redevelopment of the entire block (excepting the Senior Center building). This type of mixed-use, higher density development proposed is a much more appropriate use for the centrally located, transit adjacent site. The parking lot, while well patronized, is too low an intensity of use for a site within five minute's walk of a future Gold Line station. The Senior Center's current parking will remain in place and intact until adequate replacement ,parking can be provided to the satisfaction of the Community and Economic Development Department Director.2 The southern portion of the site is currently vacant and unused, meaning that the proposed project will eliminate an attractive nuisance as well as greatly enhance the neighborhood by contributing pedestrian friendly retail, eyes on the street for security, and a ready customer base. i I 2. That the proposed amendment is consistent with the other goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan. General Plan, p. 1,-5 Since a focus on pride of home ownership is critical to strengthening neighborhoods, more home ownership opportunities will be encouraged through compatible infill development in existing neighborhoods, mixed-use housing along corridors and in the Downtown and University Districts as well as fixing what we have and offering incentives to new buyers. " I The proposed mined-use development will add 57 stacked flats and- 16 townhomes to the Downtown District. This will result in the addition of 73 new homeowners within the City. . The addition of new homes and home owners is consistent with the goal, policies and objectives of the General Plan which encourages home ownership opportunities. i General Plan, p. 1-6 "Our historic Downtown is the heart of our City. ' When the Cold Line light rail is built, 'the old train depot will anchor the north end of Downtown, attracting homes and stores,for those who want to be in walking distance of commuter transit. The proposed development will attract those who are interested in living close to commuter transit. It will alsol provide pedestrian friendly retail and homes. This new downtown transit- oriented center will help enliven the "heart of our City."

DakonGeneralPlanAmen_040708.80C Page 14 of 19 April 7, 2008 _ The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION The proposed mixed-use development has the potential to be a catalytic project for the Downtown District, helping to bring in the critical mass needed for a truly pedestrian- oriented, destination node. The project will be adjacent to the Gold Line light rail and will create a transit-oriented district ideal for residents that want to live close to public transportation centers. Additionally, the project will bring mixed-use development into the City combining new housing with retail establishments. The new development will be served by a shared parking structure, which is encouraged by the General Plan. 3.. That the proposed amendment will not conflict with provisions of the zoning ordinance, subdivision regulations, or any applicable specific plan. One component of the proposed mixed-use development involves the eventual redevelopment of the City's Senior Center parking lot at a future time. The parking lot's existing General Plan Public/Civic designation will not allow it to be developed as a residential use. As a result, the General Plan designation is proposed to be changed from "Public/Civic" to "Commercial/Residential Mixed Use," thereby allowing residential and mixed-use on the site. This Development Code change will be submitted concurrently with this request, thereby ensuring zoning consistency. 4. That the amendment will not adversely affect surrounding properties. The proposed amendment will facilitate the redevelopment of the site. Currently, the site is underutilized and as such, acts as a factor contributing to the continuation of blight that plagues the redevelopment area. The proposed amendment will allow the commencement of redevelopment activities and may act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the area resulting in the elimination of blight and increased property values. An Addendum to the General Plan EIR has been submitted concurrently with this request. California Environmental Quality Act guidelines for amending an EIR provide that an Addendum to a previously certified EIR may be prepared, where a determination is made based on substantial evidence that none of the following exist: a. Substantial changes to the project are made, requiring major revisions to the previous EIR. b. Substantial changes have occurred regarding circumstances under which the project is undertaken, requiring major revisions to the previous EIR. c. New information of substantial importance has developed, which was not known at the time the previous EIR was certified, and which shows any of the following: The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR. Previously identified significant effects will be substantially more severe. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible are now feasible, or are considerably different than those analyzed in the previous EIR, either of which would substantially,reduce one or more significant effects, but the project proponents decline to adopt the measures or alternatives. None of the conditions of Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act exist. There are no substantial changes proposed by the Project that would require major revisions to the previously adopted EIR. Additionally, no new information has come to light which DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc Page 15 of 19 April 7, 2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL Whl)-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION would create significant or severe effects. Therefore an Addendum, rather than a Subsequent or Supplemental EIR, has been deemed appropriate for activities related to the development of the proposed Project. Furthermore, given that the scope of the proposed Project is less intense than what was analyzed in the EIR, staff has determined that the impacts are inconsequential to the long range development of the City anticipated under the General Plan and Development Code EIR. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FINDINGS Prior to the City Council introducing the first reading of the Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZCA-226 and Z-2007-01 and prior to the City Council approving Zoning Ordinance Amendment ZCA-226 and Z-2007-01, the following findings must be made: I.

The proposed amendment will allow the commencement of redevelopment activities and may act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of the area resulting in the elimination of blight and increased property values. An Addendum to the General Plan EIR has been submitted concurrently with this request. California Environmental Quality Act guidelines for amending an EIR require that the following criteria are met: a. only minor technical changes are needed to make the analysis in the prior EIR sufficient, b. the changes to the Project Description are non-significant and contain elaborations upon or clarifications to components of a project that were described in a conceptual or schematic manner in the original EIR; c. non-significant environmental impacts are anticipated that were not contemplated in the prior document; and d. no additional substantial mitigation planning is necessary for project implementation; clarification and refinement of mitigation planning is acceptable. None of the conditions of Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act exist. There are no substantial changes proposed by the Project that would require major revisions to the previously adopted EIR. Additionally, no new information has come to light which would create significant or severe effects.

DESIGN REVIEW FINDINGS: Prior to the City Council approving the Design Review application, the following findings must be made: I Provides architectural design, building massing and scale appropriate to and compatible with the site surroundings and the community. The architectural design is reflective of the styles found in traditional early 1900s southern California downtown districts. The design of the mixed-use building creates an attractive street presence through the incorporation of a variety of elements, including decorative wrought iron railings and window grills, stone detailing, storefront awnings and the articulation of walls and roofline. The townhomes have design details like post, and lintel porches, wood shutters, pot shelves under windows, and stucco trim. The three-story townhome buildings face Dalton Avenue while the two-story townhomes abut the existing DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 060708.doc i Page 17 of 19 April 7, 2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION residential to they east. The massing of the four-story building is appropriate given the surroundings and !the goals of the Downtown to create a compact pedestrian oriented district. The four-story building is adjacent to California Burger and its parking lot along Foothill Boulevard lito the east. . i Two six-foot, splitlface masonry walls are proposed for the eastern edge of the project. One will run along the eastern border of the townhome parcels, the other along the eastern edge of the mixed-use, stacked-Flats and parking garage parcels. The new walls will meet at both ends of the existing wall along the east side of the Senior Center. Between the mixed-use portion and the wall will be ten feet of landscaping, including evenly spaced, 30-foot canopy trees. Between the townhomes and the wall will be 6 feet of landscaping. 2. Provides attractive and desirable site layout and design, including, but not limited to, building arrangement, exterior appearance and setbacks, drainage, fences and walls, grading, landscaping, lighting, signs, etc. I The Project is thoroughly designed to be attractive and aesthetically complementary to the community. The site layout and design is in keeping with sound urban design principles for the Downtown District. The buildings are built to the sidewalk for maximum pedestrian orientation. Parking for the mixed-use building is hidden within a parking garage wrapped on three sides. Townhome parking is in individual garages and four surface stalls. Landscaped courtyards and private patios within the mixed-use and townhouse complexes provide pleasant passive open space. 3. Provide efficient and safe public access, circulation and parking. The Project provides efficient and safe public access, circulation, and parking. Public access to the retail shops is generally from the public sidewalks along Dalton Avenue and Foothill Boulevard. Parking for the retail and condominium residents is within the parking garage. Residential parking is segregated for security purposes from the commercial and guest parking area by a key controlled gate. The project provides more residential and commercial parking spaces than required by the Development Code. As such, the Development Code is proposed to be an to allow for the additional parking. 1 4. The project provides appropriate open space and landscaping, including the use of water efficient landscaping. t The Project provides open spaces, attractive landscaping and utilizes drought resistant plants. Both common and private open space area are provided for the residential component of the project. The common open space areas for both the mixed-use building and the townhomes are in the form of a stepping-stone lined courtyard with separate pathways to private, colored-concrete patios.

" The Project will add 57 stacked flats and 16 townhomes to the Downtown District. This will result in the addition of 73 new homeowners within the City. The addition of new homes and home owners is consistent with the goal, policies and objectives of the General Plan which encourages home ownership opportunities. General Plan, p. 1-6 "Our historic Downtown is the heart of our City. ' When the Gold Line light rail is built, the old train depot will anchor the north end of Downtown, attracting homes and stores for those who want to be in walking distance of commuter transit. The Project will attract persons interested in living close to commuter transit. It will also provide pedestrian friendly retail and homes. This new downtown transit-oriented center will help enliven the "heart of our City." General Plan, p. 3-3 District-wide urban form strategies aim to strengthen the destination nodes of Azusa as centers of the city. These strategies include: a. establishing guidelines and catatvac projects for the Downtown district, civic center and a transit-oriented district; b. encouraging mixed-use development in the Downtown and University Districts; C. implementing a shared parking or park once' strategy for the Downtown and, perhaps, the University District in the city" The Project has the potential to be a catalytic project for the Downtown District, helping to bring in the critical mass needed for a truly pedestrian-oriented, destination node. The Project will be adjacent to the Gold Line light rail and will create a transit-oriented district ideal for residents that want to live close to public transportation centers. Additionally, the Project will bring mixed-use development into the City, thereby, combining new housing with retail establishments. The new development will be served by a shared parking structure, which is encouraged by the General Plan. 6. Complies with all applicable requirements of the Development Code, and any other adopted City design standards, guidelines, and policies. The Project is consistent with the development standards of the Development Code as modified by the Development Code Amendment submitted concurrently with this application. One component of the proposed mixed-use development involves the redevelopment of the City's Senior Center parking lot. The parking lot's existing General Plan Public/Civic designation will not allow it to be developed as a residential use. As a result, the General Plan designation is proposed to be changed from "Public/Civic" to "Commercial/Residential Mixed Use," thereby allowing residential and mixed-use on the site. This Development Code change will be submitted concurrently with this request, thereby ensuring zoning consistency. CONCLUSION This project has undergone extensive 'review and discussion at many public participation events. These events include, but are not limited to: DaltonGeneralPlanAmen 040708.doc i Page 19 of 19 April 7, 2008 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Subject: DALTON-FOOTHILL MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION I I • I I public Downtown North Advisory Committee (DNAC) meetings • two publicly-noticed architectural tours attended by City Council, Planning Commission, and DNAC members • a special presentation to the Senior Center patrons • two presentations to the Senior Advisory Council.

M DELACH, CITYMANAGER,�W4) DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 SUBJECT: CONDISERATION OF GRANTING ELIGIBILITY TO APPLY FOR A FIREWORKS SALES PERMIT TO THE GLADSTONE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL BOOSTERS/LINEBACKERS CLUB. RECOMMENDATION I It is recommended that City Council grant the appeal for eligibility to apply for a Fireworks Sales Permit to the Gladstone High School Boosters/Linebackers Club based on their stated intent to apply for such permit last year and Article IV; Section 30,-132 of the Azusa Municipal Code; Paragraph (b) providing that two permits may be issued to Azusa High School, Gladstone High School, and Azusa Pacific University. i BACKGROUND I At the regular meeting of the Azusa Utility Board of February 25, 2008, representatives of the Gladstone High School Football Boosters/Llnel)ackers Club, made an appeal to the City that their organization had intended to apply for a Fireworks Sales:.Permit and pay the permit fee. The individual responsible for this action was reported to have not filed the!necessary paperwork, but no one in the organization was aware that the individual had "dropped the fall". Although there is no provision, in the Ordinance regulating the issuance of Fireworks Sales Permits to provide for automatic reinstatement of a permit/sales license; Article IV; Section 30-132 of the Azusa Municipal Code; Paragraph (b) provides that two permits may be issued to Azusa High School, Gladstone High School, and Azusa Pacific University. (Representatives from the Boosters Club contend that it was always their intent to comply with the regulation I requiring payment of the permit fee to "hold your spot" as an authorized seller; the individual responsible for the matter did not follow through as believed by the organization's leadership. The Ordinance regulating the lissuance of sales permits has an "automatic attrition" factor built into the design to reduce the number of vendors over time. This element was inserted to hopefully reduce the negative impact of fireworks on the community as well as improve the profitability of the venture by the remaining community school:and non-profit groups. The possible solution is to allow the Gladstone Football Boosters/Linebackers Club to submit the permit fee for last year as would have been required, and be allowed to reapply this year under Article IV; Section 30= 132 of the Azusa Municipal Code; Paragraph (b) providing that two permits may be issued to Azusa High School, Gladstone High School, and Azusa Pacific University.

DEL ACH, CITY MANAGERtn DATE: APRIL 7! 2008 I SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO JOIN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SINGLE-USE BAG REDUCTION AND RECYCLING PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION! I It is recommended that City Council approve attached resolution to participate in the implementation of!Los Angeles County Single-Use Bag and Recycling Program, and authori2e staff to support County legislative efforts to eliminate the sunset clause included in AB 2449 (Public Resources Code Section 42257). BACKGROUND On March 12, 2008, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors requested the City of Azusa to join their program to reduce consumption and increase recycling of carryout plastic bags at retail establishments. The County adopted the program on January 22, 2008, and set as its goals the reduction of plastic bag disposal by 30 percent by July 1, 2010, and 65 percentilby July 1, 2013, with provision that failure to achieve the program goals result in a ban on plastic bags at affected stores. According to the County, approximately 6 billion plastic carryout bags are consumed in Los Angeles County each year. Currently, less than 5 percent of bags are recycled and the rest end up in landfills or on our beaches, waterways, parks, and roads in the form of litter. Plastic bag I litter makes up as much as 25 percent of the litter stream and significantly impacts our communities and the environment. In Los Angeles County alone, local and State governments spend tens of millions of dollars each year on the prevention, cleanup, and enforcement of activities to reduce litter. I The County requestslthat the City of Azusa adopt the attached resolution which would instruct the City Mariager to coordinate with the County on program implementation activities, including preparation of an ordinance for the City Council's consideration that would provide autholity and appropriate measures to fully effect the program goals within the City. ! I FISCAL IMPACT Additional program information is included in Attachment. It appears that additional staff time will be required to work with the County and coordinate implementation activities and quantify the results. If there are program shortcomings and goals are not achieved, it appears that enforcement activities would be necessary. Possible funding sources include AB 939 Fees, Sewer Assessment District funds, and Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Clean up Grant funds. Additional funding may be available from the County or the State, but amounts and exact sources are unknown at this time.

CITY OF AZUSA I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution No. _, was duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa at its Regular Meeting on April 7th, 2008. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Vera Mendoza, City Clerk i Attachment i County of Los Angeles Single-Use Bag Reduction and Recycling Program - Fact Sheet I On January 22, 2008, the Las Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted the Single-Use Bag Reduction and Recycling Program, a comprehensive strategy to reduce plastic bag litter. The Program aligns supermarkets, retailers, environmental groups, the plastic bag industry, local government, and the public to phase out plastic bags while increasing the use of reusable bags. The Program is summarized below: I Framework I i 1. County and stakeholders develop and establish a comprehensive program to: • Promote reusable bags • Increase at-store'recycling of plastic bags • Reduce carryout plastic bag usage • Increase the postconsumer recycled content of paper bags (minimum 40%) • Promote public awareness of litter impacts and consumer responsibility 2. Work with affected stores (initially includes large supermarkets and retail stores as defined under AS 2449; may be expanded to include convenience, franchise, and other stores distributing plastic bags in the future) toldevelop and implement required store-specific programs that would include: Training that targets unnecessary double bagging and increased use of reusable bags • Incentives for reducing plastic bag usage (e.g. per-bag credit or fee) • Reusable bag promotions and educational efforts 3. Establish aggressive! goals for reducing plastic bag usage and increasing recycling using total consumption for Fiscal Year 2007-08 as the baseline: • 30 percent disposal reduction by July 1, 2010, and • 65 percent disposal reduction by July 1, 2013 4. Assist partner cities it establishing a similar program, including sharing of relevant information and public education and outreach materials. City programs can utilize the County's Program as a framework while tailolring implementation according to their needs. 5. Establish significant consequences if Program goals are not met, including outright plastic bag ban. I 6. Pursue State legislative efforts to: • Establish a statewide plastic bag fee with proceeds distributed to local governments on a per-capita basis to fund litter prevention and source reduction efforts. • Allow local government implementation of a per-bag fee, since fees have been found to be effective in reducing plastic bag usage. • Implement statewide benchmarks equivalent to Program goals above. • Print an environmental message on each plastic bag describing the negative impacts of plastic bag litter and thei benefits of using reusable bags. • Repeal the sunset provision of AS 2449 (Public Resources Code Section 42257) to eliminate the need for the ,State Legislature to reintroduce and adopt a new plastic bag recycling law by January 1, 2013, which may or may not contain the existing and proposed elements of AS 2449 that are crucial to the efforts undertaken by local governments. Program Benefits • Creates a broad-bas ed collaborative effort to effectively reduce plastic bag litter Countywide. • Incorporates supermarket and retail store employee training and public education to meet the goals of the Program. Establishes performance goals and a measurement methodology to demonstrate Program success,using the State's existing reporting framework (established by AS 2449) to obtain data. • Maximizes regional benefit while minimizing duplicative efforts by local municipalities. i • v, i I CONSENT ITEM i TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL I FROM: BRUCE A. COLEMAN, ECON. AND COMM. DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR i VIA: F. M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER/ Mo i DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 SUBJECT: BOND REDUCTIONS FOR TRACTS 63336-02 (MAPLETON) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the bond reduction request by Christopher Homes for Tract 63336-02. I BACKGROUND: Christopher Homes has submitted a request for the reduction of the surety Bond, specifically the Faithful Performance Bonds, for the above referenced tract.After reviewing the status of the work with Jerry Ichien, ;the field inspection supervisor with Quantum, the City's contract inspection company for Rosedale, it has been agreed that major elements of the street, sewer and storm drain improvements have been completed and that a reduction in the Bond amounts is appropriate. Discussions have been held with Azusa Light and Water and there is agreement to reduce the Performance Bond by 60% on the water improvements. Tract No. 63336-02 created the Mapleton phase of the Rosedale project. This phase of the project is located south of Sierra Madre, east of the arroyo and west of Crepe Myrtle. It is recommended that the $565,467 faithful performance bond be reduced to $77,599.50 as outlined on the attached spreadsheet. j By taking the recommended actions the City Council is not relieving Christopher Homes of their responsibility to complete the work, nor is the City taking on any maintenance responsibility for the improvements. Until all improvements are finished the improvements will remain the responsibility of Christopher Homes. I FISCAL IMPACT: The reduction of this Faithful Performance bonds will have no fiscal impact on the City of Azusa. i I Prepared by: Elroy Kiepke, Special City Engineer/Rosedale Project Attachments: Letter from iChristopher Homes requesting reduction of bond amounts.

DELACH, CITY MANAGER Y� FROM: JOSEPH F. HSU, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES DATE: APRIL 7 2008 I , SUBJECT: SUPPORT OF AB 1903 TO RE-ESTABLISH LIABILITY PROTECTION FOR FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED BY THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC;WORKS. i RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that City Council adopt a "support" position on AB 1903 and authorize the Mayor to sign letters of support to appropriate state representatives and legislative committees considering the bill during the legislative process. BACKGROUND Assemblymember He has requested that Azusa. Light & Water support AB 1903, which is a bill the Assemblymember is carrying on behalf of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. This non-controversial bill would provide certain liability protection to the Los ,Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) against injuries that may occur in unlined flood control channels when such injuries result from unintended uses of such facilities. In 1998 this immunity was extended to the LACDPW for its groundwater replenishing activities. Legislation was enacted in 2001 to extend this immunity to January 1, 2007. AB 1903 would re-enact this recently expired provision and extend 'the sunset date to January 1 , 2013. LACDWP has indicated that this protection is needed for it to continue its groundwater restoration activities, which involve moving waterlthrough unlined flood control channels and into designated basins or spreading grounds for replenishment of groundwater supply. This water supply provides water to dozens of cities in Los Angeles County. I FISCAL IMPACT i None.

BACKROUND I The current voice and data infrastructure in the city yard was cabled back in the early 1990's: This was done partially with in-house staff and partially contracted. With constantly changing technologies the equipment, PC's and printers, that are supported on this infrastructure (CAT-3e) need additional bandwidth which is not supported on this old infrastructure, and therefore daily problems with printing and connectivity occur. The upgradl will allow the network speed and connectivity to go from 10 MB to 1 GB. I This project will beldone in 2 phases. The first phase will move the fiber and connections from the old electric building into the public works facility and re- terminate fiber into a new cabinet.

M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 I SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF OPPOSITION TO CALIFORNIA PROPERTY OWNERS AND FARMLAND PROTECTION ACT RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council adopt a resolution in opposition to the California Property Owners and!Farmland Protection Act. I BACKGROUND: The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the California Farm Bureau Federation and the California Alliance to Protect Private Property Rights have submitted signatures to place a measure on the June, 2008 ballot, which would make major changes to laws governing use of property, including use of eminent domain and regulation of land use. The proposed initiative would make the following changes to existing law: Governmental Regulations Affecting Price The initiative would define a regulation of property that limits the price a private owner may charge another person to purchase, occupy or use his or her real property as a prohibited taking for a private use. This would prohibit rent control ordinances and make unconstitutional inclusionary housing ordinances adopted in many California communities which require new housing development to include units affordable by low- and moderate-income buyers or renters. The effect of this provision on the inclusionary housing provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law is difficult to predict. Redevelopment agencies might still be able to bargain for the provision of affordable units as a condition of agency assistance, but they would not be able to impose such requirements as a matter of law. Limitation on Use of Eminent Domain for Consumption of Natural Resources I 1 Rent controlled units as of January 1,2007,would be grandfathered,but only for so long as at least one of the tenants continues t i live in the unit as their principal place of residence. In one of its provisions, the initiative would prohibit the use of eminent domain to "transfer the ownership, occupancy or use of private property...to a public agency for the consumption of natural resources..." This provision can be read, for example, to prohibit the use of eminent domain by a city to acquire new drinking water resources. The initiative would also prohibit the use of eminent domain if the public agency would use the property for "the same or substantially similar use as that made by the private owner." This provision would likely eliminate eminent domain as a tool to acquire conservation and open space easements. Regulation of Land Use The initiative requires a public agency to pay "just compensation" when it regulates the use of land if the regulation transfers an economic benefit from the person who owns the land to another person. Under existing law, public agencies use their police power to enact regulations governing the use of privately owned real property. These regulations range from traditional zoning to nuisance regulations and include conditions imposed on the new development of property. Nearly all of these regulations have an economic impact. Some properties are benefited while others are burdened. Read literally, this provision would make unconstitutional virtually all regulation of land use unless just compensation is paid. Restrictions on the Use of Eminent Domain I . Property may not be taken and then transferred to a private party. For over 50 years, State and Federal Courts have held that the use of eminent domain by redevelopment agencies to eliminate conditions of blight is a public use. The initiative's definitions of "taken" and "private use" reverse those cases and prohibit the use of eminent domain where the ownership, occupancy or use of the property acquired is transferred to a private person or entity. This would end the use of eminent domain by redevelopment agencies except for public works projects. It would also prevent the use of eminent domain by other public agencies in public/private partnerships for facilities such as toll roads and privately-run prisons. 2. New definition of "just compensation." Existing law requires the payment of just compensation to the owner of property taken by eminent domain. "Just compensation" is defined in the Eminent Domain Law (a statute) as "fair market value." A body of well-established law interpreting the meaning of "just compensation" allows both public agencies and property owners to be reasonably certain about the value of property to be acquired. In large part because the value of the property is predictable, an acquisition usually does not require the use of eminent domain and rarely will an eminent domain case actually go to trial. The initiative would add a constitutional definition of "just compensation" that would prevail over this settled body of law. This will probably result in the need to have more frequent recourse to the courts to settle disputes over the meaning of "just compensation." Among the other changes that the initiative would make are the following: a. just compensation would include an award of the property owner's attorney's fees if the jury awards one dollar more than the amount offered by the public agency. It is unclear which offer to purchase this provision refers to. I b. just compensation would include elements not currently recognized such as temporary business losses. Relocation and other business re- establish'ment costs would also be elevated to constitutional status, thereby perhaps abrogating existing statutes which place limits on the type and, amount of such expenses for which compensation must be paid. 3. Acquiring "immediate possession" of property made more complicated. Under existing law, after depositing with the court the estimated just compensation, a public agency can obtain possession of property prior to a final judgment based on a showing of an overriding need for the condemnor to take possession prior to final judgment. if the property owner withdraws the deposit, he or she waives their right to contest whether the taking is for a public use but may still contest the amount of just compensation. The initiative would change this approach to prejudgment possession by permitting the property owner to contest both public use and just compensation after withdrawing the deposit. This would make the use of prejudgment possession more problematic for public agencies since they would still be at risk of being prohibited from taking the property (if they lose the right to take issue) rather than simply paying more for it. i 4. Balance of power shifts. Under existing law, when a public agency makes findings in connection with the taking of property by eminent domain, those findings are entitled to strong presumptions of validity. Courts will overturn those findings only where the property owner is able to demonstrate a gross abuse of discretion, such as bribery or fraud. Courts are also limited to reviewing the administrative record before the public agency. These rules are rooted in concepts of separation of powers—the respect that co-equal branches of government have for the other's proceedings. The initiative would provide that a court must exercise its independent judgment and give no deference to the findings of the public agency. The court's inquiry would also not be limited to the administrative record, and so the property owner could introduce evidence of value and other matters not before the condemning agency at the time the decision to condemn was made. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact as a result of adopting this resolution. Adoption of the California Property Owners and Farmland Protection Act could have significant impact on the Redevelopment Agency's ability to perform its function in the future. I i i G i i I I RESOLUTION NO. 08-C A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, CALIFORNIA, IN OPPOSITION TO PROPOSITION 98 WHEREAS, a constitutional amendment ballot measure, Proposition 98, will appear on California's June 2008 ballot; and WHEREAS, Proposition 98 proponents want voters to believe the initiative is about eminent domain, but in fact the measure contains hidden agendas and flawed language which will eliminate rent control and other renter protections, threaten development of public water projects, stymie local land use planning and impair our ability to protect the environment; and WHEREAS, the majority of the funding to qualify this measure comes from wealthy apartment and mobile home park owners who are attempting to trick voters into abolishing rent control and other renter protections, thereby jeopardizing an important affordable housing tool to protect working families, seniors, single-parent homes, veterans and others; and WHEREAS, provisions in the initiative would also preclude the use of eminent domain to acquire land or water to develop pub/ic water projects that are needed to provide our residents, businesses, farmers and economy with a reliable and safe supply of water; and WHEREAS, Proposition 98 is opposed by the Association of California Water Agencies and the Western Growers Association, who warn the initiative will impair water projects to protect water quality and supply; and WHEREAS, language in the initiative will also prohibit the passage of regulations, ordinances, land use and other zoning laws that enable local governments to plan and protect communities; and WHEREAS, the California Police Chiefs Association opposes the measure because it threatens their ability to keep communities and the public safe; and WHEREAS, leading environmental groups warn provisions in the measure would impair our ability to enact environmental protections such as laws that control greenhouse gas emissions, preserve open space, protect coastal areas, and regulate development; and I i I WHEREAS, the INo on Proposition 98 campaign is represented by the League of California Cities, California State Association of Counties, League of California Homeowners, California League of Conservation Voters, California Alliance for Retired Americans and other ileading state and local associations who oppose Proposition 98. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City Azusa, hereby oppose Proposition 98 on the June 2008 ballot. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we authorize the use of our name by the No on Proposition 98 campaign in opposition to Proposition 98. SECTION 1 .

GARCIA, CHIEF OF POLICE VIA: F.M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 SUBJECT: APPROVE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S PURCHASE OF TWELVE (12) BALLISTIC TACTICAL SWAT VESTS RECOMMENDATION i It is recommended that the City Council approve the Police Department's purchase of twelve (12) ballistic Protech Trimax PT 100 SWAT vests with accessories, in the amount of $20,589.15 (inclusive of tax) from Aardvark Tactical Inc. located in the City of Azusa. BACKGROUND The Police Department's SWAT team was established in 1984 and currently has thirteen (13) team members. Each team member is issued a ballistic tactical vest which provides greater protection than standard "soft" body armor worn by patrol officers. However; the SWAT team's current tactical vests are more than ten (10) years old and the ballistic rating is only guaranteed for five years. Under City of Azusa Municipal Code (AMC), Section 2-518 (b) — purchases of supplies and equipment between $10,000 and $24,999, the Police Department sought to procure new ballistictactical vests for the SWAT team utilizing authorized informal purchasing procedures. After the SWAT team fit-tested multiple ballistic tactical vests, they were most satisfied with the Protech Trimax PT 100 vest, which passed their field testing scrutiny. After conducting "on-line" shopping, Lt. Dennis found the advertised selling prices for the PT 100 vests: 1 1) Chiefsupply.com $1 ,169.99 per vest (not including accessories) 2) Southernpoliceequipment.com $1 ,533.99 per vest (not including accessories) 3) Aardvark Tactical Inc. $1j021.00 per vest (not including accessories) The SWAT team procured a single vest as described for a new SWAT member since no existing vest fit properly and therefore, needs to procure only (12) additional vests. FISCAL IMPACT The purchase of these SWAT vests from Aardvark Tactical in the amount of $20,589.15 will be funded from the Asset Seizure Fund, Account No. 28-20-310-041- 6599.

DELACH, CITY MANAGER � DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 / SUBJECT: NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FOUL BALL FENCING AT GLADSTONE PARK IN THE AMOUNT OF $17,480.00 i RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that City Council approve the Notice of Completion for the construction of foul ball fencing at Gladstone Park in the amount of$17,480.00 and authorize staff to file the Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Clerk. BACKGROUND: At the Council meeting of April 2, 2007, authorization was given to purchase and install foul ball netting at Gladstone Park from Sports Facilities Group, Inc. in the amount of$26,550. As design work commenced on the project, the engineering firm for the vendor had mandated an increase in pole diameter and depth of footings, citing insufficient design to facilitate accurate wind load calculations. The cost of such an increase nearly doubled the previously approved project budget to a total of$49,575. In an effort to insure that the project was not being over-engineered and at the request of the City Manager, staff met with Frank Bigdeli, contract engineer, and Doug Preble, interim City Engineer, who collaborated that the project revision was not over-engineered and in turn would be rather costly. As a result, staff then made a recommendation to City Council at the meeting of November 5, 2007, to remove the project from the 2007-08 CIP process based on increased costs. Rather than remove the project, staff was directed to find another solution to correct the problem, citing a commitment from the previous City Council to resolve the matter. An alternative fencing solution was developed through a collaborative effort which included industry experts, city engineering staff and citizen input. Worlc commenced March 10, 2008 and was completed March 28, 2008. FISCAL IMPACT: The budget for this project was $20,000 and held in account (# 10-80-000-410-7130/41007G- 7130) 0-80-000-410-7130/41007G- 7130) specifically for this purpose. 08-032 I I RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND WHEN RECORDED MAL,TO: f NAME Azusa City Clerk STREET ADDRESS 213 E.Foothill Blvd. CITY,STATE& Azusa,CA 91702 ZIP CODE L NOTICE OF COMPLETION Notice pursuant to Civil Code Section 3093,must be filed within 10 days after completion.(See reverse side for Complete requirements) Notice is hereby given that: 1.

The requested appropriation is $10,000. On November 5, 2007, Council discussed the program and requested the development of specific ci riteria prior to approval of a program for shelter vouchers. Criteria for the program was recommended as follows: This program is CDBG-eligible as benefiting the low/mod limited clientele of homeless persons. • Future Funding could come under the 15% Public Service Cap. • Funding would pay for: 1 o Vouchers only;:no program administration costs. o Vouchers can lie issues for up to 5-nights. o A family/client may apply for a voucher once per calendar year or up to 5-nights. • Vouchers limited to Azusa' families with children registered in the Azusa Unified School District and legally Emancipated Youths (with' proof of legal judgment) registered in the AUSD. • Azusa residency and homelessness determined by full interview, proof of last residency, and proof of current youth registration in AVSD. • Recommended that a Noh-profit organization (501(c) (3)) providing services to homeless persons administer the program (e.g., East San Gabriel Valley Coalition for the Homeless) o Experienced inlproviding homeless assistance. o Experienced in:dealing with federal funding and documentation requirements. The criteria are recommended to assure eligibility for future CDBG funding. This program may also work in concert with the Salvation Army Voucher Program next year. Funding from CDBG would not be available until the 2008 Budget allocation.

DELACH, CITY MANAGER�. DATE: April 7, 2008 SUBJECT: EXTEND AZUSA AVE. STORM DRAIN. i RECOMMENDATION i It is recommended that the City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to enable a change order to the Block 36 Offsite Utilities contractor to extend the Azusa Ave. storm drain. BACKGROUND On March 3, 2008 the City Council authorized staff to enter into an agreement with Wescon Engineering to perform design services for a new storm drain on Azusa Ave. between Foothill Blvd and 6`h Street. The design work has been completed and staff is now asking for permission to have the storm drain installed. I The west side of Azusa Ave., from 6th St. to Foothill floods during significant rainfall events, including damaging the businesses fronting the street. The topography of the street is such that the west side is lower than the East side and the surface flows from the areas below 9`h St. surface flow to Foothill, then flow under the street to a burper on the west side of the street, causing flooding in that area. The Department of Public Works has been requesting an extension of the underground storm drainage to the catch basing on Azusa Ave. north of 6`h St. SUMMARY The storm drain can be extended by the Block 36 Offsite Utilities Contractor as a change order to the contract. ;The use of the on site contractor will reduce the cost of the improvements and provide this much needed storm drain and flood relief. The administration, inspection, insurance, and bonds are in place as a part of the ongoing contract and will not significantly impact the cost of this improvement. The contractor will be required to have the work complete by April 29, 2008, with the area in front of II Forno i clear by April 25, 2008. Liquidated damages will be included in the change order agreement to assure the required clear area at the businesses and the timing. The engineer's estimate to construct the storm drain extension is $175,000.00. This estimate will include all required work such as trenching, pipe, traffic control and re-paving. FISCAL IMPACT The project will cost $175,000 and will come from sewer funds. V IOINT CITY/AGENCY AGENDA ITEM TO: HONORABLt MAYOR/CHAIRPERSON AND COUNCILMEMBERS/MEMBERS OF THE AGENCY BOARD FROM: BRUCE COLEMAN, ECONOMIC/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR VIA: F. M. DELACH, CITY MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/AW DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 . I SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS BY THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA TO CONSIDER CALLING A JOINT PUBLIC HEARING ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE MERGED CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND WEST END REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT i RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the:Agency Board ("Agency") and the City Council ("City Council") of the City of Azusa adopt the Resolutions consenting to and calling a Joint Public Hearing on the Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan ("Plan Amendment") for the Merged Central Business District and West End Redevelopment Project Area ("Project Area"). i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This action would only set the date of June 2, 2008, for the joint City Council/Agency Board public hearing on the Plan Amendment. The Plan Amendment would add 15.1 acres of territory in the Downtown Azusa and south of the 1-210 freeway at Azusa Avenue into the Project Area, and would increase the tax increment cap. The tax inclement cap must be increased in order to continue revitalization activities. BACKGROUND The Plan Amendment process was initiated by the City Council with the adoption of Resolution No. 08- C3 on January 7, 2008, which established a survey area. The survey area identified potential areas to be added to the Project Area if physical and economic blighting conditions were present on these properties. On January 30, 2008, the Planning Commission adopted the Preliminary Plan, which established the .proposed areas to be added to the Project Area ("Added Area"). On February 19, 2008, the Agency approved the Preliminary Plan and authorized transmittal of the document to the affected taxing entities. A draft amended and restated Redevelopment Plan and a Preliminary Report for the Amendment to the Project Area was approved for circulation on March 3, 2008, to incorporate the Added Area properties, to re-instate eminent domain on two (2) commercial properties in the West End Project, and to increase the tax increment limit for, the Project Area from $114.9 million to $300 million. If the cap is not increased, the Agency will;reach its tax increment limit by 2020-21, and will no longer be able to undertake revitalization activities or issue bonds. Now the Plan Amendment process is in its final stages. Prior to Agency consideration of the Plan Amendment and adoption of the ordinance, a public hearing must be held to hear all testimony for and against the proposed Plan Amendment. The California The Honorable Mayor/Chairman and Councilmembers/Members of the Agency Board - Subject: Resolutions Calling a joint Public Hearing on the Plan Amendment for the Merged Project Area April 7, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Community Redevelopment Law, Health Safety Code et seq. ("CRL") provides that when a city council serves as the governing board of the redevelopment agency, both bodies may hold a joint public hearing to receive testimony on a redevelopment plan. Further, the CRL stipulates that the notice of the joint public hearing shall: 1) be published in a newspaper of general circulation not less than once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks prior to the hearing; 2) be mailed to all affected taxjng agencies via certified mail, return receipt requested; and 3) be mailed to all affected property owners, businesses, and residents at least 30 days prior to the hearing via first-class mail. The attached resolution establishes 7:30 p.m. or as soon thereafter as possible on June 2, 2008, in the Council Chambers as the time and place for the joint public hearing on the Plan Amendment. By adopting the attached resolutions, the City Council and the Agency will be only setting the time and date of the joint public hearing, not taking any formal action on the Plan Amendment. Prior to the hearing a public information meeting will be conducted to provide a forum for residents and other interested parties to learn more about the Plan Amendment and provide input to the process. The Plan Amendment process also includes an environmental review process. A draft Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") has been prepared and will be circulated for review to affected taxing entities. It will also be available for public review at the City Clerk's Office, the Library, Redevelopment Agency, and online (see address below). The City Council and Agency will consider certification of the EIR at the June 2nd meeting. FISCAL IMPACT This recommended action has no fiscal impact. However, by proceeding with the Plan Amendment to re- instate eminent domain on two (2) commercial properties, increase the tax increment cap and add territory to the Merged Project Area, the Agency will be able to continue collecting tax increment revenues it would not otherwise receive to help mitigate blighting conditions in the Merged Project Area and Added Area.

The property is currently owned by the Ramirez Family Trust. The property owner also operates the business, Ramirez Masonry, which occupies the site.

COLEMAN, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR I VIA: F.M. DEll EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO.1 TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH HOGLE-IRELAND INC. TO INCREASE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE DOWNTOWN NORTH/DALTON AVENUE PROJECT RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Agency Board approve Amendment No. 1 to the professional services contract with Hogle-Ireland, Inc., to increase services, increase the contract amount from $49,999 to . $60,000, and authorize the Executive Director to execute the City's standard professional services agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Agency contracted with Hogle-Ireland to provide California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance and interim planning services for the Downtown North/Dalton Avenue Phase 1. These services were estimated at $49,999 based on estimated hours. The actual time spent on the project has exceeded the estimate and service costs have increased by $10,000. BACKGROUND In August 2007, using redevelopment signatory authority the Agency entered into a professional services agreement withl Hogle-Ireland in the amount of $49,999 to provide planning and environmental/CEQA impact analysis for the Downtown North/Dalton Avenue Phase 1 project. At that time, staff could only estimate the number of hours that would be required to complete this task. Now that these services are nearly complete, it is necessary to increase the agreement by $10,000 to allow for final costs associated with additional hours attending staff and Planning Commission meetings, administrative tasks, and reimbursable printing and postage expenses. FISCAL IMPACT I This project is budgeted ''in the approved FY 2007/08 operating budget in the Downtown North program budget.

COLEMAN, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT _ DIRECTOR VIA: F.M. DELACH, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 ' I SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH URBAN FUTURES, INC. FOR: (1) FINANCIAL ADVISORY; AND (2) REDEVELOPMENT CONSULTING SERVICES t RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Agency Board' authorize the Executive Director to enter into the , standard professional services agreemozz t with Urban Futures, •Inc., for both Financial Advisory r j and,Redevelopment Consulting Services. r f 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Due to the extensive workload being undertaken by the Redevelopment Agency, the imminent departure of the City's current Economic and Community Development Director, and the need to issue new Tax Allocation Bonds, the Agency needs to enter into an agreement with a qualified redevelopment firm to provide both Financial Advisory Services and Redevelopment Consulting Services. BACKGROUND: The Redevelopment Agency is actively undertaking a number of complex redevelopment projects, including the Downtown North Transit-Oriented District, the Block 36/Azusa Village Center, the northeast corner of Arrow and Azusa, the Target Department Store and other major revitalization efforts. These projects involve complex real estate, financial and redevelopment issues that require highly specialized consulting services. Although the Agency had previously entered into an agreement with Tierra West Advisors for various services under which they serve as an extension of Agency staff, there is a need for additional specialized services to assist the Agency in reviewing and structuring complex real estate and financial agreements necessary for the continued revitalization of the Redevelopment Project Area. In addition, with the departure of the current Economic and Community Development Director, there is an additional need for Redevelopment Consulting Services to help direct and manage the current and projected workload being undertaken by Redevelopment staff. Since the need for these services is temporary in nature, it has been the Agency Board's position that it Paget of April 7, 2008 Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board Subject: Professional Services Agreement with Urban Futures, Inc.for: (1) Financial Advisory;and (2)Redevelopment Consulting Services is more appropriate to contract for such services than to add additional permanent staff to carryout this workload. The Redevelopment Agency is currently undertaking the process of amending its Redevelopment Plan, which would increase the tax increment cap and the Agency's bonding capacity. As part of this process, the Agency plans to issue new Tax Allocation Bonds in the fall of 2008 to fund the Agency's revitalization program and to repay the loans made to the Agency by the City. In order to proceed with the issuance of the Tax Allocation Bonds, the Agency also needs to select a Financial Advisor to structure and.facilitate issuance of the new Tax Allocation Bond issue to fund these various revitalization projects. As a result, on March 3, 2008, the Agency Board authorized staff to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) for both Redevelopment Consulting and Financial Advisory Services. Staff sent out the RFP to six redevelopment firms. In response to the RFP, four proposals were received from the following consulting firms: 1 . Fieldman/Rolapp and Associates and CRC Redevelopment Consultants, Inc. f \ 2. C.M. de Crinis and Company 3. Urban Futures, Inc. ` 4. Keyser Marston Associates l Although all of the firms were deemed to be highly qualified, Keyser Marston's proposal addressed only Redevelopment Consulting Services, while C.M. de Crinis focused only on Financial Advisory Services. The responses provided by Urban Futures, Inc. and the team composed of Fieldman/Rolapp and Associates and GRC Redevelopment Consultants, Inc. covered both Redevelopment Consulting and Financial Advisory Services, as called for in the RFP. Based on staff's careful review of the proposals, it has been determined that Urban Futures, Inc. offers the most comprehensive, coordinated approach by a single firm which would meet the needs of the Agency for both Redevelopment Consulting Services and Financial Advisory Services. In addition, under their proposal, Bill Kelly, the highly experienced former City Manager of Arcadia, would serve as the Interim Economic and Community Development Director, overseen by Assistant City Manager Robert Person, while the City undertakes its recruitment process for a permanent replacement. A copy of the Urban Futures proposal is attached. FISCAL IMPACT: The attached proposal from Urban Futures, Inc. describes the proposed fee schedule. The cost for the Financial Advisory Services would be payable only from the new Tax Allocation Bond proceeds, and is based on the amount of bond issuance. The cost for the Redevelopment Advisory Services would be funded by the Redevelopment Agency on an hourly fee basis, using budgeted salary savings from the vacated Economic and Community Development Director position. Hourly fees range from $195.00/hour for principals to $75.00/hour for assistant level. BAC:RJJ/cs Attachment: Urban Futures, Inc. Proposal .

(UFI) is a full service municipal consulting firm serving local government primarily in the State of California. The firm was founded in 1972 and has existed in its present form since 1974. It is the largest singularly owned, municipal financial advisor/redevelopment consulting firm in the State. UFI is a closely held California corporation located in the City of Orange, California. UFI currently employs 31 staff members. Urban Futures offers public and private sector clients a wide range of specialized services including financial advisory, planning, redevelopment, implementation and other public financing services including compliance administration of first- time homebuyer and rental programs. Services include: Financial Advisory Fiscal Consultant Report Preparation Continuing Disclosure Services Planning and Redevelopment/Plan Adoptions Project Negotiations Redevelopment Implementation Public Finance Services Single/Multifamily Compliance Administration Leading Financial Advisor: UFI have been involved in over $10,000,000,000 worth of transactions. Urban Futures, Inc. was the number one financial advisor in the redevelopment finance industry in the State of California during calendar years 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 regarding the number of tax allocation bond issues completed. We assisted more California redevelopment agencies, with their debt Issuance needs, than any other financial advisor in California. For a full list of our redevelopment transactions see Exhibit A. Redevelopment Experience: UFI has served as financial advisor to dozens of cities and redevelopment agencies throughout the State. In fact, UFI was the planning firm hired to assist the Azusa Redevelopment Agency in establishing its initial Redevelopment Project Area back in 1979. We have provided some of our references and encourage you to contact them regarding the quality of our services. See Exhibit C for list of references. UFI has been providing financial advisory services to California redevelopment agencies for over 30 years. The firm's extensive experience with redevelopment agency finance and especially our familiarity and experience with California Redevelopment Law help us provide the best service to California agencies. UFI has experience using tax increment on all of the following approaches to meet development objectives. • Rated & insured tax-exempt tax allocation bonds; • Rated & insured taxable and tax-exempt housing set-aside bonds; • Non-insured tax allocation & housing set-aside bonds; • Taxable & tax-exempt privately placed loans or notes with pledges of tax increment, housing set-aside (and other available revenues of the agency); • General . fund-backed lease revenue bonds with underlying reimbursement obligations of the redevelopment agency to the city; • Mello-Roos bonds issued to fund infrastructure with a direct pledge of tax increment to off-set Mello-Roos tax burden or goal to refinance unrated Mello-Roos 2 bonds with rated tax allocation bonds when development occurs in the project area; • Combined project area and merged area financings; • Conduit multifamily and single family revenue bonds with credit support from housing set-aside or up-front contributions; and • Derivative-based strategies for limiting risk and releasing value from past transactions Capabilities & Specialization: UFI's has extensive experience and capabilities in modeling redevelopment revenue streams, structuring bond issues, preparing presentations for rating agencies and preparing documents for the sale of securities. Potential issues and impacts of identifying pledged revenues should be considered carefully, as structuring and sizing have long term consequences. The bond indentures parity requirements will to a certain extent limit the sizing of future bond issues and as such, proposed covenants should be considered carefully. UFI specializes in security provisions (debt service payments, maturity, timing and use of capitalized interest), interpreting legal and statutory constraints, structural features and their effect on future bond issues, negotiating structuring criteria imposed by rating agencies and identification of project area time and monetary limitations. It may be of interest to know that Urban Futures prepares its own Fiscal Consultant reports, which eliminates the need to hire an outside fiscal consultant to prepare a Report of Tax Increment (resulting in a savings of approximately $30,000). If you consider UFI's proven track record and experience with tax increment financings, it's proven history in the field of Financial Advisory services governed by its extensive capabilities and specialization in municipal finance, you will agree that Urban Futures, Inc. is the best qualified firm to assist the Agency. Urban Futures has a better understanding of the needs.of municipalities than any other firm in the State. Schedule: To best assist the Agency, UFI has included a proposed schedule developed around the Agency's goal of closing on the bond financing before September 2008, following the completion of the current Redevelopment Plan Amendment (See Exhibit A). The attached schedule assumes no written objections or challenges are made. UFI does, however, want to point out a few findings of concern within the Amendment schedule that may delay the Amendment and subsequent financing. Our findings are as follows: • The timeline for assumed between the date the statement of preparation is sent to the Board of Equalization (dated Feb 21") typically requires a 60 day response from the Board. The schedule in the RFP assumes this will be accomplished in less than 60 days. This is possible, but its likely to occur at or after the 60 day period. • The time line between the transmittal of the Preliminary Report (dated March 41h) and the Joint Public Hearing occurs prior to the mandatory 90 day review period . pursuant to CCRL 33344.5. This finding may also delay the Agency's desired schedule. 3 UFI staff is comprised of highly skilled professionals able to handle assignments ranging from site-specific developer negotiations to community wide development strategies, redevelopment plans, entitlement processing, financial advisement, affordable housing programs, and economic development implementation strategies.

Prepare for the client a financing structure to accomplish the financing objective. This analysis will include setting goals and objectives relative to the issuance of both taxable or tax exempt debt. 2. Evaluate the feasibility of the project/financing to include project costs, cash flows, tax increment flows and other revenue sources as applicable. 3. Prepare various tax increment scenarios of existing increment flows and projections based on various growth assumptions for Client-issued debt. 4. Prepare the Financial Advisory Report for publication in the Preliminary Official Statement and the Final Official Statement. (Urban Futures prepares its own Fiscal Consultant reports eliminating the need to hire an outside fiscal consultant to prepare a report of tax increment, resulting in a savings to the Client of approximately$30,000.) 5. Evaluate the financing structure, to include debt service schedules; call features; bond security; flow of funds; sources and uses of funds including costs of issuance; underwriters discount and original issue discount; investment of bond proceeds; and estimated positive and negative cash flow to the Client. 6. Verify tax increment revenue for the latest fiscal year; 7. Calculate and project tax increment revenue for the next five years; 8. Review and analyze five (5) years of historical assessed value and tax revenue receipts for the Redevelopment Project Area; 9.. Describe in detail, the top ten (10) secured (and unsecured if material) taxpayers in the Project Area; 10. Review of the Project Area's base year assessed value, including any possible adjustments made by the County Auditor-Controller; 11. Complete analysis of the Project Area's redevelopment plan, including number of plan years remaining, and any restrictive covenants, etc.; 12. Complete analysis of the Project Area in terms of current development activity, and anticipated project development. This review will include on-site visits, which we feel is a major and necessary part of our evaluation; 13. Thorough review of pass-throughs, disposition and development agreements, and owner participation agreements for the Project Area, including subordination and other restrictive language; 7 14. Review and verify current and past property tax revenue collections. 15. At the clients request, UFI can develop a strategy for negotiated or competitive financings.. Currently, the market is not conducive to a competitive financing structure. In fact, several deals have either failed to attract bidders in the open market or have resulted in higher yield spreads when compared to negotiated financings (ex. 2007 Palo Alto CFD Refunding and 2008 Buena Park TABS). To assist with a negotiated financing structure UFI will work with the Agency and Underwriter on market timing, yield spread, pricing, and marketing of the bonds. Overall, this strategy creates effective and efficient financing model. 16. At the client's request, UFI is prepared to assist with the selection of bond counsel, disclosure counsel, underwriters and other participants as necessary. Over its 34 years of experience, UFI has assisted several clients with selection of the financing team. To assist the Azusa Redevelopment Agency UFl would propose the following approach: • Develop financing goals and objectives based on the clients needs and timing • Review current relationships with bond and disclosure counsels and underwriter. With the client, evaluate the need for change if necessary. • Assuming a change in financing team is necessary, UFI would draft proposal documents and solicited bids for negotiated and/or competitive bond counsel, disclosure counsel, underwriter, and trustee services • Review and evaluate solicited bids against the clients established goals and objectives • Hold interviews, with desired client involvement, with qualified firms meeting and/or exceeding the clients goals and objectives based on evaluation on bid documents • Recommend to the client most qualified firms to provide bond counsel, disclosure counsel, underwriter, and trustee services • Initiate negotiations with most qualified firms to determine best and final proposals 17_ Work with client staff, bond counsel, disclosure counsel, underwriters, and other participants, to review, prepare and advise on information contained in the preliminary and final official statements, Indenture of Trust, fiscal agent agreement, investment agreements, and other legal and disclosure documents and materials required to facilitate the sale of the bonds. 18. Assist the client in the final closing of the financing. 19. Continue to update financing schedules and monitor market conditions including interest rate "spreads" between various tax-exempt and taxable securities, up until the actual marketing and pricing of the bonds. 8 20. Assist client staff, underwriters and other financing team members in working with credit rating agencies and financial institutions, and prepare any presentation materials and documentation for rating and credit reviews. 21. Conduct investor meetings on behalf of the Client if necessary. 22. After reviewing all bond documents including the Official Statement, Indenture of Trust, and investment agreements, UFI will provide the client with a "Fairness Opinion" relative to the proposed sale of bonds including the pricing structure, interest rate levels, interest rate "spreads", reinvestment structures, costs of issuance, underwriting and other investment banking fees. 23. Post-Bond Sale follow-up: Working with the Client's underwriter, prepare and furnish the Client with a table of debt service which will include semi annual and annual payments of principal and interest, table of sources and uses of funds from the proceeds of the financing, and a complete cash flow analysis of the financing which will "track" the flow of funds, investment earnings, pledged revenues, and debt service payments.

Notable Financing Structure: The Manteca Financing Authority has issued bonds under the Marks-Roos Local Bond Pooling Act, for the purpose of acquiring Bonds issued by Project Area No. 1 and Project Area No. 2 (prior to the merger of those Projects). The Agency was able to utilize this financing structure to strengthen its credit capacity and reduce issuance costs by selling the one pooled issue, as opposed to two separate financings. Services provided by UFI: Urban Futures, Inc. has provided financial advisor and fiscal consultant services to Manteca on all City, Agency and Authority bond issues dating back to 1987. In addition, UFI planning staff has prepared all of the Agency's redevelopment plans, and the merger of the plans including the addition of new territory.

Financings: The Agency has issued over $70 million of taxable and tax-exempt tax allocation bonds and notes dating back to 1989, both before and after merging the project areas into one merged Project Area. Notable Financing Structure: The Dinuba Redevelopment Agency has successfully used the issuance of short term, interest-only tax allocation notes to leverage future tax increment provided by large development projects, including a Best Buy distribution warehouse and a "super' Wal-Mart.. Insured, AAA tax allocation bond issues were then issued after the development was completed to retire the short term debt. 16 Services provided by UFI: Urban Futures, Inc. has provided financial advisor and fiscal consultant services to Dinuba on all City, Agency and Financing Authority bond issues dating back to 1989. In addition, UR planning staff has prepared all of the Agency's redevelopment plans, including the merger of the plans which also added new territory.

DELACH, CITY MANAGER lI 7 DATE: APRIL 7, 2008 ��9" SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH JENNIE DE FAZIO FOR RETAIL CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE AZUSA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $48,000 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Agency Board authorize its Executive Director to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Ms. Jennie De Fazio for retail consulting services for the Azusa Redevelopment Agency in an amount not to exceed $48,000.00. BACKGROUND: Ms. De Fazio is credited with brokering Target's decision to locate in Azusa. She is uniquely qualified to provide these services to the redevelopment agency and is considered one of the top retail consultants in the nation with extremely close ties to national credit tenants the city/agency is attempting to attract to the City. Ms. De Fazio will not be working on any one redevelopment project, but rather, will market the city's many development opportunities that continue to be vacant including restaurant space at Foothill Center, excess retail space next to Starbucks in the downtown, assisting Lowe Enterprises in meeting their retail commitments, etc. Given the downturn in the national economy and retailers hesitance of being in an expansion mode, Ms. De Fazio's talents and connections will be critical to the City's large development agenda on its current plate. This is also one of various steps in backfilling the talent needed in-house to replace the current Community and Economic Development Director and Planning Director. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this professional services agreement will be paid for through salary savings incurred as a result of the vacancies in the Planning Department and Redevelopment agency. Ms: De Fazio's hourly rate is $80.00 and the professional services agreement will not exceed $48,000.
