FROM: City staff
SUBJECT: Resolution Extending the Time Period for Exercising a
certificate of Appropriateness Permitting the
Construction of a New Arcade BUilding at 350 Santa
Monica pier.
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the city Council extend by resolution
the time period for exercising the certificate of Appropriateness
permitting the demolition of the existing Arcade Building and the
construction of a new Arcade Building on the same site at 350
Santa Monica Pier. Pursuant to section 9612I of the Landmarks
Ordinance, the approved Certificate of Appropriateness will
expire on October 9, 1990 if it is not extended by the city
Council. The city Council Resolution is contained in Attachment
A.
BACKGROUND
The Landmarks commission approved the subject certificate of
Appropriateness permit on April 12, 1990. As stipulated in the
Landmarks Ordinance, this approval expires within 180 days unless
the authorized work has begun. Due to the length of time needed
to obtain the required approvals from the City as well as from
the Coastal commission, the Pier Restoration Corporation (PRe)
must begin permit processing far in advance of when they

.
anticipate commencing construction. In addition, the PRC has
been unable to begin work during the summer season when the pier
was most actively used. For these reasons, they have been unable
to utilize the permit within the 180 days.
These issues were presented to the Landmarks Commission at their
April 12th meeting. The Commission, at that time, recommended
that the City council extend the Certificate approval by
resolution for the maximum permitted 180 days if it appeared the
approval would expire. As stated in section 9620 of the
Landmarks Ordinance, certificate of Appropriateness approvals may
only be extended by city Council resolution upon a recommendation
of the Landmarks Commission.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT
The recommendation presented in this report does not have any
budget or fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Council extend by
resolution this Certificate of Appropriateness permit for the
maximum permitted 180 additional days. The permit will then
expire on April 7, 1991.
