Story & Photos Terry MILLER anta Anita Park proposes to expand horse stabling and ancillary services on the 36-acre North Parking Lot, off of Colorado Place between Gates 5 and 6. The development would be comprised of nine canopy-style barn structures which would house up to 816 stalls for horses, 70 tack and 70 feed storage bins, 36 office spaces, an employee café and recreation area, and a two-story 27,360-square-foot grooms’ building
housing 104 dormitory units. Also included is a 14,450-squarefoot covered manure transfer facility. Peter Sun and Nicole Morece said Arcadia, as lead agency, has determined the project may have a “Significant effect on [the] environment,” therefore requiring an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Santa Anita Park has been in its current location since 1934. It includes a grandstand building that features restaurants and other guest-related service facilities; pedestrian plazas in front of the grandstand building and in the middle of the racetrack; a service yard; large expanses of surface parking; and horse barns
on the western portion of the property. The project site is surrounded by the facility—as described above—to the south and west, and Colorado Place to the east. Offsite land uses northeast of Colorado Place include mixed commercial, office, institutional, and residential uses such as Santa Anita Church, the Kindegarten–eight Barnhart School, The Village apartments, Motel 6, Peppers Mexican Grill & Cantina, and office buildings. The nearest residences are located approximately 180 feet northeast, across Colorado Place on
