MEMORANDUM
TO: Manuel Carrillo Jr., Chief Executive Officer
FROM: Maria Moreno, Director of Recreation & Community Services DATE: October 14, 2025
SUBJECT: Submittal of Funding Request for the Measure BP Stakeholders Oversight Committee (SOC) to establish the Recreational Reimbursement Program

SUMMARY
This memorandum requests the allocation of Measure BP funds to establish the Recreational Reimbursement Program, designed to support Baldwin Park youth under the age of 18. This program will provide financial reimbursement to parents and guardians for registration fees associated with sports, enrichment activities, and specialty classes. By reducing financial barriers to participation, participants will benefit from: healthy lifestyles, foster skill development, and provide positive recreational opportunities that encourage youth engagement.

FISCAL IMPACT
The requested funding will be drawn directly from Measure BP Funds. As of September 30, 2025, the Measure BP Fund balance is $10.2 million , which is sufficient to accommodate this request without impacting other planned initiatives. The total anticipated program cost is approximately $40,000. This program is projected to assist up to 200 eligible youth participants annually, providing 50% reimbursement up to $200 per participant to offset registration cost of sports, specialty classes, or other recreational opportunities. Funding will directly support families who meet the established program criteria, helping reduce financial barriers for participation. By making these activities more accessible, the initiative is expected to increase enrollment in structured programs, promote skill development, encourage healthy lifestyles, and strengthen community engagement.

BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Recreationa l Reimbursement Program is to reduce financial barriers that prevent youth from participating in sports, spe cialty classes, and othe r structured recreationa l activities. By providing up to $200 annuall y per eligible participant, the program ensu res that families with limited resources can access opportunitie s that foster physical health, personal growth, and pos itive social engagement.

This initiative is justified by the demonstrated benefits of organized recreational activities, which include improved physical fitness, enhanced teamwork and leadership skills, and increased community involvement. Supporting youth in these programs also contributes to the SOC's broader goals of promoting safe, healthy, and engaged community.

Page 168 of 520 ends

DISCUSSION
The Recreational Reimbursement Program is designed to serve Baldwin Park youth who meet eligibility criteria. Participants must provide proof of residency within the City of Baldwin Park and be under 18 years of age at the time of enrollment. Additionally, participants must meet the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) income guidelines, with household income at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). To ensure meaningful engagement in the programs, parents or guardians will be reimbursed only after their child successfully completes the classes or activities. These requirements are intended to prioritize local youth with financial need, encourage consistent participation, and maximize the positive impact of the program on participants and the broader community.

ALTERNATIVES
None being recommended.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Manuel Carrillo Jr, Chief Executive Officer
PREPARED BY: Maria Moreno, Director of Recreation and Community Services
DATE: November 5, 2025

SUBJECT: Consideration to Allocate Funds to Provide Transportation Services for Senior Citizen Trips & Tours

SUMMARY:

This staff report is for City Council to consider the allocation of funds to provide transportation services for senior citizen trips and tours at the Julia McNeill Senior Center. The proposed funding will provide safe, reliable, and accessible transportation for seniors, enabling them to participate in recreational, cultural, and social activities that enhance their quality of life.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Approve $35,000 in Measure BP Funding for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 for transportation services for senior citizen trips and tours in the amount of $35,000 for FY25-26; and

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to make the appropriation and necessary budget adjustments.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no Fiscal Impact on the General Fund. The proposed allocation of Measure BP funds to support transportation services for senior citizen trips and tours will be $35,000. The funding will be used exclusively to cover costs directly related to providing transportation services to senior citizens. In addition, the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget allocates $25,000 of the General Fund to support planning and staffing for the program. This funding ensures that a dedicated staff member is available to escort participants during trips, providing guidance, assistance, and oversight, which enhances both safety and the overall quality of the experience.

BACKGROUND:

At the October 14, 2025, Measure BP Stakeholders Oversight Committee (SOC) meeting, the Committee unanimously approved the allocation of $35,000 for Transportation Services for Senior Citizen Trips & Tours. In FY 2024-25, over $29,000 was allocated from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds to support transportation for senior citizen trips and tours. With the ARPA funds now fully expended, this essential service requires new funding to continue. These trips offer seniors valuable opportunities for social engagement, promote physical activity, and play a critical role in enhancing their overall well-being and quality of life. In response to rising costs and inflation, we are requesting an increased allocation of $35,000 to align with the current Consumer Price Index (CPI) and ensure the continuation of this impactful program.

As part of the Trips and Tours program, the City funds a staff member to escort each trip, ensuring the safety, guidance, and well-being of all participants throughout the experience. Funding this program ensures that seniors can continue to participate in a variety of recreational, cultural, and community experiences in a safe, accessible, and affordable manner.

Page 170 of 520 ends

Page 2 ends

Over the past year, nearly 800 seniors took part in the trips and tours offered by the Julia McNeill Senior Center, reflecting the strong demand and positive impact of these trips. These activities not only enhance community engagement but also support mental and physical well-being, reduce social isolation, and strengthen social connections among seniors. Continued investment in this program will allow the center to sustain and expand these opportunities, ensuring equitable access for all seniors and further enriching the quality of life for this valued segment of our community.

Funding will enable the Recreation & Community Services Department to continue providing safe, accessible, and engaging travel opportunities for Baldwin Park’s seniors. These trips promote social interaction, physical activity, and overall well-being, helping seniors stay connected, active, and involved in the community. Supporting this program reflects Measure BP’s commitment to enhancing quality of life and fostering an inclusive environment for all senior residents.

DISCUSSION:

None

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternative would be that the City Council may choose not to approve the allocation request or modify it as deemed appropriate.

CEQA REVIEW:

These actions are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.)

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Manuel Carrillo Jr, Chief Executive Officer
Daniel Padilla, Director of Public Works
PREPARED BY: David Lopez
DATE: November 5, 2025

SUBJECT: Recommend Acceptance of the Project and Authorize the Filing of a Notice of Completion for City Project No. CIP 24- 001-55027 Morgan Park Restroom Improvements

SUMMARY:

This item will accept work completed for City Project No. CIP 24-001-55027––Morgan Park Restrooms Improvements. By accepting the improvements and authorizing the filing of a Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office, this closes out the project. The project includes construction of improvements to the existing standalone public restroom building at Morgan Park. Improvements include plumbing, electrical, ADA building code compliance improvements, wash stations, restroom stalls, infant changing stations, hand dryers, roof repairs, storage reconfiguration, fixtures upgrades, interior wall and partitions remodel, replacement of an exterior drinking fountain and painting the exterior facade.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Accept the construction improvements by Corral Construction Development, Inc. of Commerce, CA in the amount of $422,632 and authorize the recordation of a Notice of Completion; and

2. Authorize the payment of $21,132 in retention funds to Corral Construction Development, Inc.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact on the general fund. The following table lists the approved funds for the project which are included in FY 2025-26 CIP 24-001-55027 budget.

The project ARPA fund balance will be returned to the City ARPA Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The existing standalone Spanish style restroom building is within the Morgan Park boundary which is located at the northeast corner of Ramona Blvd. and Baldwin Park Blvd. The restroom building area is 1,220 square feet and located at the knuckle of Cesar Chavez Drive north of Ramona Blvd. The project was conceived by the public because after other facilities were closed this restroom could not accommodate wheelchair bound people. The building needed complete overhaul to be in compliance with ADA standards.

On September 11, 2024, total of ten (10) bids was received, opened publicly and after confirming references and verifying the bids, Corral Construction Development, Inc. of Commerce, California was determined to be the lowest responsive bid and recommended for an award of a construction contract.

On October 2, 2024, City Council awarded a $403,039 construction contract including a 12% contingency to Corral Construction Development, Inc. of Commerce for the Morgan Park Restroom Improvements Project.

To avoid the holidays and to allow for material procurement, the notice to proceed with construction was not issued until January 13, 2025.

DISCUSSION:

To take advantage of the contractor’s fair change order pricing, staff requested two (2) multi-item change orders which included enhancements to further the life of the restroom finishes and structure. Some of the enhancements include new accessible ADA drinking fountains, additional roof repairs and tile replacements, louver replacements, and blocking of the snack area as it was not being used. Some of the change orders also will help with the maintenance of the building, like providing attic port access to maintain and visually inspect the interior roof supports, additional plumbing work, and mirror upgrade from glass to unbreakable stainless steel.

This project was a multi-department effort where Build and Safety Division provided most of the building inspection and Recreation and Community Services Dept. provided project direction to enhance the building while being budget conscious. Additionally, we had deputy inspections, and structural observations done by the Bowman Group.

The project is now complete, and Corral Construction Development Inc. has met all requirements for project closure. The final construction costs were $422,632 including two change orders for $19,594. The total Project cost is $464,188

ALTERNATIVES:

Provide Staff with alternate direction.

CEQA REVIEW:

The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a “project” under Section 15378(b)(5) of CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

ALL APPENDICES, AS MANDATED BY CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 18938.”

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact on the General Fund as a result of the adoption of this Ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

In order to ensure that building construction standards remain up-to-date and relevant, the State of California amends and adopts the model codes from the International Code Council (ICC) every three years. The 2025 California Codes represent modifications, additions, and deletions to the model code to reflect existing State laws and statutes. The 2025 California Codes, as adopted by the State of California, has the effective date of January 1, 2026.

Current State laws provide that the City of Baldwin Park must adopt the aforementioned codes by reference except that the City may amend the California Codes. Such amendments must be justified as being reasonable and necessary due to local climatic, geologic, and topographic conditions, or for administrative reasons. If the City does not adopt the State codes by January 1, 2026, the 2025 California Codes become effective without any local amendments. The California Codes state that in the event of any differences between State codes and other referenced documents, the text of the California Codes will govern.

DISCUSSION:

None

ALTERNATIVES:

The City may decide not to adopt the 2025 California Codes; in which case, State law will mandate their use without local amendments after January 1, 2026. In addition, the City’s fire-rated roofing, pool fencing, local grading requirements, and several other provisions of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code may not be enforced.

ITEM NO: 9.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Manuel Carrillo Jr, Chief Executive Officer
Okina Dor, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Christian L. Bettenhausen, City Attorney
DATE: November 5, 2025

SUBJECT: Adoption of an Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 1521 Establishing a 45-Day Moratorium Upon New, Non-Retail,
Commercial Cannabis Operations

SUMMARY:

The proposed moratorium ordinance is recommended as a means of temporarily halting application submissions for non-retail, commercial cannabis projects for an initial period of 45 days to allow City staff and the City Attorney to complete analysis of, and regulatory options for, establishing new or updated cannabis regulations in BPMC Title XI, Chapter 127 [“Medical and Adult Use Commercial Cannabis Production”] (“Chapter 127”). The purpose of this interim ordinance is to preserve and promote the public health, safety, and welfare during the time that City staff analyzes and prepares new or revised regulatory proposals to govern non-retail, commercial cannabis land uses, including providing the City Council with options and recommendations on possible programmatic changes

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Conduct a Public Hearing; and

2. Waive the reading and adopt by title only by four-fifths vote the urgency moratorium Ordinance No. 1521 entitled: “INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

BALDWIN PARK ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON THE APPROVAL,

COMMENCEMENT, ESTABLISHMENT, OR OPERATION OF ALL COMMERCIAL (NON-

RETAIL) CANNABIS LAND USES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION CANNABIS MANUFACTURING, DISTRIBUTION, PROCESSING, DELIVERIES, AND CULTIVATION.”

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

BACKGROUND:

Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and Government Code Section 65858 allow cities to adopt temporary moratoriums on an urgency basis to prohibit any uses that may conflict with contemplated or pending changes to the general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposals. The City’s Community Development Department and City Attorney are in the process of analyzing substantive revisions to the City's existing zoning and business regulations related to non-retail commercial cannabis operations—more specifically those operations governed by Chapter 127. In light of staff's ongoing study of alternative commercial cannabis program options, the new creation or expansion of commercial cannabis businesses would create a current and immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the City, its residents and non-cannabis businesses.

Page 236 of 520 ends

Page 2 ends

DISCUSSION:

The City Council adopted Chapter 127 on August 16, 2017, in order to, among other things, expressly prohibit commercial cannabis activity in all zoning districts in the City of Baldwin Park excepting the City’s Industrial (I) and Industrial-Commercial (I-C) zones; to regulate the size, intensity, and community impacts attributable to commercial cannabis activity; and ensure the City's Municipal Code protects the health and safety of its residents while appropriately regulating commercial cannabis activity.

Administration of commercial cannabis approvals under current Chapter 127 has proven inefficient and irregular in application, at times resulting in disputes between the City and operators of commercial cannabis operations, up-to and including litigation. In the context of commercial cannabis operations, unclear regulations or irregular entitlement programs pose a variety of potential known and unknown adverse impacts, such as offensive odors and gases from commercial scale processing of cannabis products, unsafe or disapproved use of volatile and nonvolatile solvents, excess or dangerous waste, lapses in security resulting in theft, fire, or other crime or dangers related to the storage and commercial distribution of commercial-scale quantities of cannabis. All of these issues, and more, pose a threat to the public health, safety and welfare to the citizens of the City.

Therefore, City staff is currently studying and analyzing various options for proposing amendments to Chapter 127 in hopes of implementing a commercial cannabis program that is uniform in application, clear, and efficient in administration. While staff conducts its evaluations, the establishment of new commercial cannabis businesses under the “old” cannabis program would perpetuate the irregularities posed by that program, hence defeating the purpose of Staff’s ongoing efforts to study and adopt new regulations.

For these reasons, the proposed moratorium is recommended to place a temporary hold upon the City’s acceptance of applications for new, non-retail cannabis projects. Notably, however, the moratorium would not impede or delay settlement negotiations with respect to any disputes between the City and current commercial cannabis operators.

Adoption of an urgency measure must be approved by a four-fifths vote of the City Council and would become effective upon adoption. The urgency measure proposes an interim ordinance which is effective for 45 days and can later be extended by the City Council for up-to an additional 22 months and 15 days. The proposed interim ordinance would establish a moratorium on new approvals for the commencement, establishment, or operation of any non-retail manufacturing, distribution, cultivation, processing, storing, laboratory testing, packaging, labeling, transportation, delivery or non-retail sale of cannabis. The proposed moratorium would not impact cannabis retail projects governed by BPMC Title XI, Chapter 128 [“Cannabis Retailers”]. The purpose of the interim ordinance is to preserve and promote the public health, safety, and welfare during the time that City staff analyzes and prepares new or revised regulatory proposals to govern non-retail cannabis, including providing the City Council with options and recommendations on possible programmatic changes.

ALTERNATIVES:

None.

CEQA REVIEW:

The Ordinance is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment), Section 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378), Section 15061(b)(3) (it will not have a significant impact on the environment) and Section 15308 (actions by regulatory agencies for the protection of the environment) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because the subject ordinance has no potential for resulting in any significant physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, "cannabis" is defined by Section 26001(f) of the Business and Professions Code to mean all parts of the plant Cannabis sativa Linnaeus , Cannabis indica , or Cannabis ruderalis, whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin, whether crude or purified, extracted from any part of the plant, and every compound , manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture , or preparation of the plant, its seeds, or resin; but not the mature stalks of the plant, fiber produced from the stalks, oil or cake made from the seeds of the plant , any other compound , manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the mature stalks (except the resin extracted therefrom), fiber, oil, or cake, or the sterilized seed of the plant which is incapable of germination, or industrial hemp as defined by Section 11018.5 of the Health and Safety Code; and WHEREAS, "cannabis products" is defined by Section 26001(i) of the Business and Professions Code to mean the same as defined under Section 11018.1 of the Health and Safety Code, which states that "cannabis products " means cannabis that has undergone a process whereby the plant material has been transformed into a concentrate, including, but not limited to, concentrated cannabis, or an edible or topical product containing cannabis or concentrated cannabis and other ingredients; and
WHEREAS, "commercial cannabis activity " is defined by Section 26001 of the Business and Professions Code to mean activities that include the cultivation, possession , manufacture, distribution, processing, storing, laboratory testing, packaging, labeling, transportation, delivery or sale of cannabis and cannabis products , excepting that for purposes of this Ordinance “commercial cannabis activity” shall not include those cannabis retail activities governed by Chapter 128 (“Cannabis Retailers”) of Title XI of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code (“BPMC”).

Other defined terms used herein shall be consistent with those found in:
i. BPMC Title XI, Chapter 127 (“Medical and Adult Use Commercial Cannabis Production”) (“Chapter 127”), and
ii. The Adult Use of Marijuana Act of 2016 (“AUMA”) (Proposition 64), the Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act of 2017 (“MAUCRSA”) and any applicable State regulations (the “State Regulations”).

WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1400 on August 16, 2017 (as thereafter amended from time to time) in order to, among other things, expressly prohibit commercial cannabis activity in all zoning districts in the City of Baldwin Park excepting the City’s Industrial (I) and Industrial-Commercial (I-C) zones; to regulate the size, intensity, and community impacts attributable to commercial cannabis activity; and ensure the City's Municipal Code protects the health and safety of its residents while appropriately regulating commercial cannabis activity; and
WHEREAS, State Regulations contain provisions granting local jurisdictions control over whether commercial cannabis activity may occur in a particular jurisdiction and allow local jurisdictions to adopt and enforce local ordinances regulating the establishment and/or operation of commercial cannabis businesses licensed by the State; and WHEREAS, several operators of commercial cannabis enterprises did apply, and receive City approval for the operation of commercial cannabis activity in the City’s Industrial (I) and

Page 239 of 520 ends

Ordinance No. 1521

Page 2 of 5 ends

Industrial-Commercial (I -C) zones pursuant to Chapter 127. However, administration of such approvals under the City’s current regulations in Chapter 127 has proven inefficient and irregular in application, at times resulting in disputes between the City and operators of commercial cannabis activity, up-to and including litigation; and
WHEREAS, City staff is therefore currently considering, studying and analyzing various options for proposing amendments to the City's existing zoning and business regulations to prohibit, permit, or conditionally permit commercial cannabis activity businesses to the end of implementing a commercial cannabis program that is uniform in application, clear, and efficient in administration. California Government Code section 658 58 provides cities with the broad power to adopt as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoni ng proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time; and
WHEREAS, the present state of Chapter 127 and current disorder in commercial cannabis activity approvals poses a variety of potential known and unknown adverse impacts, such as offensive odors, gases, and other discharges related to commercial scale processing of cannabis products, unsafe or disapproved use of volatile and nonvolatile solvents intended to be regulated by the State Regulations, excess or dangerous waste, water, and electricity usage, and theft, fire, or other crime or dangers related to the storage and commercial distribution of commercial -scale quantities of cannabis , all of which pose a threat to the public health, safety and welfare to the citizens of the City ; and
WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing and City Staff's ongoing study of land use proposals related to cannabis activity, the City Council finds that the new establishment, creation, or expansion of commercial cannabis activity would create a current and immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the City, its residents and non -cannabis activity businesses; and WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the establishment or creation of such commercial cannabis activity businesses without appropriate regulation might conflict with or be inconsistent with surrounding uses, businesses and intended zoning requirements, and if such new operations are allowed to proceed under current BPMC regulations , commercial cannabis activity could conflict with, and defeat the purpose of, the proposal to study and adopt new regulations, consistent with State law, regarding commercial cannabis activity; and WHEREAS, the City Council therefore desires to temporarily prohibit submission and processing of all new applications for commercial medical and non-medical cannabis activity, including cannabis activity businesses, to provide adequate time to continue studying land use regulations related to commercial and non-commercial medical and non-medical cannabis activity, and adopt regulations as necessary; and
WHEREAS, this urgency Ordinance is adopted pursuant to the requirements of Section 65858 of the Government Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. FINDINGS1 DECLARATION OF URGENCY.

The Recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as the findings of the City Council in connection with the adoption of this Ordinance and that based on the above recitals, there is an immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare. The City Council of Baldwin Park hereby finds and declares that there is a need to enact an interim urgency ordinance establishing a moratorium on the establishment, creation, or expansion of all non-retail commercial cannabis activity in all zoning districts in the City, as set forth in the findings and conditions contained in this Ordinance. Based on the findings set forth in the Recitals above, the City Council finds and determines that the moratorium imposed by this ordinance is enacted to protect and preserve the public health, safety and welfare of the local business community and residents of the City pending the City’s evaluation, and

Page 240 of 520 ends

Ordinance No. 1521

Page 3 of 5 ends

I
ultimate report to the City Council, of appropriate recommendations for enacting revised BPMC regulations for commercial cannabis activity that are more uniform in application, clear, and efficient in administration. Establishment of new commercial cannabis activity prior to adoption of such new BPMC regulations would threaten the public health, safety and welfare. The adoption of this ordinance is necessary for the immediate protection of public health, safety and welfare.

SECTION 2. MORATORIUM.

Except as provided in Section 3 of this Ordinance, the City Council hereby declares a moratorium on any and all non-retail industrial, manufacturing, distribution, cultivation and commercial cannabis activity land uses, within all zoning districts in the City. The City shall not approve or issue land use approvals or permits, including but not limited to General Plan, zoning, or Municipal Code amendments or interpretations, development agreements, conditional use permits, variances, tentative subdivision or parcel maps, site plan approvals, design review approvals, and building permits, business licenses, or other applicable entitlements for the establishment or creation of commercial cannabis activity businesses, or deliveries during this moratorium.

The City Council hereby enacts this interim Ordinance by not less than a four-fifths vote, under the authority granted to it by Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution and section 65858 of the California Government Code, which allows the City to adopt an interim ordinance prohibiting lan d uses which may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the City Council, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time.

SECTION 3. EXEMPTIONS.

This moratorium shall not apply t o t hose cannabis activities already expressly permitted or conditionally permitted in the City by operation of State law. This moratorium does not apply to indoor personal cultivation of medical cannabis, which medical cannabis cultivation is permitted and regulated by Sections 11362.769 and 11362.77 of the Health and Safety Code, or to indoor personal cultivation of non-medical cannabis, which non-medical cannabis cultivation is permitted and regulated by Section 11362.2 of the Health and Safety Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the moratorium established by this Ordinance shall be applied so as to impede or delay any settlement agreement negotiations or implementation to be approved by the City with respect to any aspect of disputes now or hereafter extant between the City and current commercial cannabis activity operators , which settlements may include issuance of permits subject to conditions.

Furthermore, this Ordinance does not apply to, nor seek to restrict, in any way the rights granted to medical patients within this community under Proposition 215 and Senate Bill 420 (2003), which recognizes the rights of patients and caregivers to associate under the form of collectives or cooperatives, for their medical cannabis needs. These forms of association are not included in the definition of "commercial cannabis activity" for purposes of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. EXISTING PROHIBITIONS NOT AFFECTED.

This Ordinance shall operate in tandem with any and all commercial cannabis activity already prohibited by the BPMC to the extent not in conflict with State laws. In the instance a conflict exists between this Ordinance and any commercial cannabis activity prohibitions set forth in the BPMC, the more restrictive regulation prohibiting cannabis activity shall prevail.

SECTION 5. PENALTIES.

Pursuant to Section 1 0.99 of the BPMC, violation of any provision of this Ordinance shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine or imprisonment, or both. Each and every day such a violation exists shall constitute a separate and distinct violation of this Ordinance. In addition to the foregoing, any violation of this Ordinance shall constitute a public nuisance and shall be subject to abatement and administrative fines as provided by all applicable provisions of State and local law.

Periodic review of these fees is necessary to ensure that the City is adequately recovering its costs in compliance with applicable state law, including California Government Code Sections 66014 and 66016. This report presents proposed updates to the Building and Recreation Fees.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed updates to the Building and Recreation Fees; and

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-040 approving the revised Building and Recreation Fees as part of the City of Baldwin Park Fee Schedule.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the updated Proposed City of Baldwin Park Fee Schedule is expected to enhance cost recovery and ensure that fees more accurately reflect the actual cost of services provided. The proposed changes are expected to result in a positive fiscal impact; however, the extent of this impact will depend on future service demand and the level of fee adoption.

BACKGROUND:

On August 20, 2025, the City Council adopted the City of Baldwin Park and Baldwin Park Housing Authority Fee Schedule, with the exception of fees related to Building and Public Works services. These categories were deferred to allow for further review and analysis.

Staff are now bringing back the Fee Schedule for City Council consideration, primarily to address the Building Fees. Willdan Financial Services and staff conducted a comparative analysis of Building Fees across Los Angeles (LA) County and several nearby cities. The analysis concluded that Baldwin Park’s current fees are significantly lower than those of the County and neighboring cities.

In response, the Director of Community Development and Building Official recommend restructuring the Building Permit fees to be based on adopting LA County’s Building Permit and Plan Checking Fees and implementing automatic updates in accordance with the County’s revisions. Additional building-related fees have been updated

based on cost recovery levels identified in the Comprehensive User Fee Study.

In adopting the LA County’s Building Permit and Plan Checking Fees, we will be modifying some items of the schedule not relevant to the needs of the City or have already been addressed in our fee schedules for previous years.

Items from the LA County's Building Permit and Plan Checking Fees are revised and/or not adopted:

1. The title is revised from “BUILDING PERMIT AND PLAN CHECKING FEES FOR UNINCORPORATED COUNTY AREA (Table is for reference only - for actual fees please input valuation into DAPTS)” to “BUILDING PERMIT AND PLAN CHECK FEES”.

2. Items 1, 2, and 3 under Note in the LA County’s Building Permit and Plan Checking Fees are not adopted because these items have been addressed in previously approved Baldwin Park fee items.

Staff also propose minor adjustments to the Recreation Fees. Certain deposits and fees were intended to be included in the original proposal but were inadvertently omitted. This correction ensures that the Recreation Fees are presented accurately and completely.

Staff will return to the City Council at a later date with recommendations for any proposed adjustments. If adopted, the proposed updated Fee Schedule will become effective 60 days after the date of adoption (Effective on Monday, January 5, 2026). In addition, staff will continue to re-evaluate the City’s fees on a regular basis to ensure they reflect appropriate cost recovery.

DISCUSSION:

None

ALTERNATIVES:

Provide staff alternative direction whether to proceed with the proposed updated Fee Schedule.
