Addendum to the Arcadia Hotel and Annex (Hotel Indigo) Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration

The Applicants, VG Property Investments, LLC and 181 Colorado LLC, requested approval by the City of Arcadia (City) of Lot Line Adjustment No. LLA 23-01, Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 24-09, Architectural Design Review No. ADR 24-08, Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 24-02, Protected Healthy Tree Removal Permit No. TRH 24-06, and Protected Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 24-16 to allow for development of a new four-story hotel with 93 guestrooms, known as “Tempo by Hilton,” Hilton’s newest hotel brands. The City prepared an Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the Arcadia Hotel and Annex (Hotel Indigo) Project (Indigo IS/MND) to address the potential site-specific environmental impacts associated with the addition of the proposed Tempo by Hilton Project (Tempo Project). In 2020, the City prepared the Indigo IS/MND for a redevelopment project located at 125 West Huntington Drive and 123 West Huntington Drive (Original Project Site). The Indigo IS/MND was adopted by the City of Arcadia Planning Commission on April 14, 2020. On February 5, 2013, the City previously approved the modification of an existing 60,811-square-foot, three-story office building (Parsons building) and the construction of two new medical office buildings, and a new parking structure on the Original Project Site. Of the four new buildings approved under the 2013 development project, only the parking structure and the two medical office buildings (now occupied by the Keck Medicine of University of Southern California [USC]) were constructed. The 2020 Indigo IS/MND analyzed the redevelopment of the existing Parsons building on the Original Project Site to allow a new hotel (Approved Project). No changes to the two existing Keck Medicine of USC medical office buildings and parking structure were proposed under the Approved Project. The Indigo IS/MND was adopted by the City of Arcadia Planning Commission on April 14, 2020 (Resolution No. 2050). The Tempo Project is requesting a lot line adjustment (LLA) to join together the parcel identified as APN 5775-015-011 and the Original Project Site (APNs 5775-015-024, 5775-015-027, 5775-015-028, and 5775-015-029) to construct a new four-story, 47,140-square-foot hotel building on APN 5775-015-011. The Tempo Project would not modify any of the existing medical office buildings, parking structure, or the hotel buildings previously approved under the Approved Project. The new hotel building would have a maximum height of 48 feet, excluding rooftop appurtenances, and would consist of a basement level and four above-ground levels containing a total of 93 rooms and ancillary hotel uses. The entire site would have 464 parking spaces for all the uses to utilize as a joint-use. In addition, the Tempo Project would develop a drop-off area with access via the existing driveway from Colorado Place.
