CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IN

BELL GARDENS

COMMUNITY BENEFITS
At SLA, our commitment to the Bell Gardens community extends far beyond the scope of any single contract. As a social enterprise rooted in Southeast Los Angeles, we believe that public landscape maintenance should generate public value—not only in the form of clean, healthy, and safe outdoor spaces, but also through direct community investment and long-term partnerships.

Whether or not we are awarded this contract, SLA will continue to serve as an active and engaged partner to the City of Bell Gardens.

This includes:
● Providing ongoing sponsorships to local civic organizations, events, and initiatives that strengthen the social fabric of the community, such as the SELA Kiwanis Banquet and the Eddie Cochran Memorial Car Show.

● Identifying and supporting greening grants and funding opportunities that can benefit the City of Bell Gardens, including state and federal resources for urban forestry, and park revitalization.

● Collaborating with schools and nonprofits to promote environmental education and hands-on stewardship through tree planting events, clean-up days, and youth engagement programs.

● Offering career pathway opportunities to local residents, particularly youth and individuals with barriers to employment, through SLA’s pre-apprenticeship training model and union partnerships.

We view our role not only as a service provider, but as a long-term partner dedicated to helping Bell Gardens thrive—socially, environmentally, and economically.

ARBOR WEEK GRANT & TREE PLANTING INITIATIVE
In collaboration with the City of Bell Gardens, SLA was awarded a grant to plant 10 trees and lead an Arbor Week celebration. The event united community members in a shared effort to promote environmental education and foster hands-on stewardship of local green spaces.

SELA KIWANIS BANQUET SPONSORSHIP- GOLD SPONSOR

As a Gold Sponsor of the SELA Kiwanis Annual Banquet—SLA was honored to take part in celebrating leadership, service, and community impact. Our sponsorship reflects our unwavering commitment to supporting civic initiatives and recognizing individuals and organizations that create lasting, positive change throughout Southeast Los Angeles.

LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT: CURRENT CONDITIONS OF

BELL GARDENS STREETSCAPE
PREPARED BY: SLA
DATE: APRIL 2025

OVERVIEW
This assessment provides a critical analysis of the current condition of landscaped medians and parkways in the City of Bell Gardens. The findings are based on a series of photographs documenting several key areas along high-traffic corridors. The analysis includes horticultural, irrigation, and safety-related observations. The intent is to identify maintenance deficiencies and areas of improvement in order to provide a higher standard of urban landscape care.

LOCATION AREAS ASSESSED:
● Street medians and parkways along major roads (e.g., Florence Avenue, Eastern Avenue)
● Welcome monument signage area and surrounding planters

PHOTO REFERENCES AND OBSERVATIONS (NEXT PAGE):

1. General Streetscape

● Soil Quality: Barren, compacted soil with high erosion risk. No mulch or organic matter observed.
● Weed Infestation: High density of opportunistic weeds, indicating irregular or absent pre-emergent herbicide application.
● Tree Wells: Trees are surrounded by dry, uncultivated soil with visible surface roots, which can lead to desiccation and mechanical injury. ● Tree Health: Several trees show signs of trunk scarring, decay, and fungal infection. Bark is missing in multiple sections, compromising structural integrity.
● Edge Definition: Brick edging is inconsistent and in some areas submerged or tilted due to soil erosion.

2. Median Planting Strip

● Vegetation Management: No visible groundcover or intentional plantings.

Existing plant palette has failed due to lack of irrigation and maintenance.

● Litter & Debris: Presence of fallen seed pods and organic debris not removed regularly.
● Aesthetic Decline: Entire median appears neglected, creating an unwelcoming city streetscape.

3. Narrow Parkways

● Irrigation Infrastructure: No evidence of functioning irrigation system (spray heads, bubblers, or drip line). Potential for dead plants due to lack of water.
● Slope Management: Slopes are not stabilized or mulched, increasing the likelihood of runoff and soil displacement.
● Pedestrian Safety: Exposed roots and uneven soil pose trip hazards near tree wells.

4. Monument Sign Area

● Plant Material Condition: Succulents appear stressed, wilted, and discolored from inadequate watering and poor soil conditions. ● Mulching & Groundcover: No mulch observed. Drip lines are exposed and vulnerable to vandalism or mechanical damage.
● Design Integrity: The design intent around the welcome sign is not being upheld due to the deteriorating plant material and lack of upkeep.

SUMMARY OF MAINTENANCE DEFICIENCIES

1. Lack of Irrigation
○ No observable irrigation infrastructure or coverage.
○ Plant decline and tree stress likely caused by drought conditions and inconsistent watering.

2. Weed Control
○ Presence of invasive and opportunistic weed species across all locations.
○ Suggests absence of pre-emergent herbicides and hand weeding.

3. Soil Management
○ Degraded, compacted soils across all planting areas.
○ No evidence of aeration, compost amendment, or mulching.

4. Plant Health
○ Widespread signs of plant stress, decline, or death.
○ Tree trunks showing signs of disease or mechanical damage.

5. Safety Concerns
○ Trip hazards due to uneven terrain and exposed tree roots. ○ Unsecured drip irrigation lines in monument areas.

6. Visual Appearance
○ Highly neglected appearance of public-facing streetscapes. ○ Brick edging is misaligned and contributes to an unkempt look.

RECOMMENDATIONS
● Implement regular irrigation audits and install or repair existing systems
● Introduce consistent mulching, weed control, and soil amendment programs
● Establish routine pruning and tree health checks by certified arborists ● Redesign neglected areas with drought-tolerant, native plantings to reduce maintenance load
● Ensure ADA and pedestrian safety compliance in walkable landscape zones
● Incorporate community engagement and adopt-a-median programs to build civic pride

This report documents the urgent need for a revitalized approach to urban landscape maintenance in Bell Gardens. With appropriate investment and sustainable horticultural practices, these highly visible corridors can once again reflect the vitality and pride of the community.

End of Report

SLA’S PROACTIVE MAINTENANCE-ONL Y REVIT ALIZATION PLAN
APPROACH:

SLA will implement an intensive, high-impact landscape maintenance strategy focused on rapid transformation within a short timeframe. No new trees or plant materials will be introduced. The plan focuses on restoring and enhancing the health, safety, and visual appeal of existing elements using horticultural best practices—all at no additional cost to the City.

CONDENSED 4-WEEK IMPLEMENT ATION SCHEDULE:

WEEK 1: INTENSIVE CLEAN-UP & SOIL REHABILIT ATION
● Citywide removal of all weeds using both mechanical edging and hand-pulling techniques.
● Soil cultivation with rotary tillers to loosen compaction. ● Regrade disturbed tree wells to improve water retention and eliminate tripping hazards.
● Apply on-site mulch (generated from green waste) to suppress weeds and retain moisture.
● Power-blow and sweep brick edges, curbs, and gutters.

WEEK 2: IRRIGATION INSPECTION & EMERGENCY REPAIRS
● Conduct full irrigation diagnostics in all zones.
● Replace broken risers and spray heads using stock parts. ● Flush lines, reset timers, and verify coverage through manual system testing. ● Cap damaged lines where restoration is not possible and make adjustments to prevent overspray.

WEEK 3: TREE AND PLANT CARE BLITZ
● ISA-certified crew will prune all low-hanging branches, deadwood, and suckers.
● Deep root water all trees using a water truck or probes. ● Apply organic anti-fungal and borer treatments to affected trunks. ● Secure exposed drip lines and ensure no open loops or hazards exist.

WEEK 4: AESTHETIC RESTORATION & SAFETY ASSURANCE
● Recompact and level soils around tree rings and walking paths. ● Reset, realign, and secure all displaced or sunken brick edging.

● Remove litter and green waste from all medians.
● Perform final walk-through with checklist to ensure compliance with visual standards and ADA safety.

ONGOING WEEKL Y MAINTENANCE PLAN
● Trash and debris removal
● Weed control using hand-pulling and targeted spot spraying ● Weekly irrigation inspection and timer adjustment
● Biweekly tree health observation and mulch refreshing as needed ● Monthly deep root watering of high-stress trees

SUST AINABILITY & WORKFORCE INTEGRATION
● All work performed using SLA’s electric, low-noise landscaping tools. ● Green waste diverted to composting or used as on-site mulch. ● Execution supported by SLA's pre-apprenticeship program, training local residents in professional landscape maintenance.

VISUAL RENDERINGS ( (MAINTENANCE-ONL Y ENHANCEMENTS)
● Renderings will illustrate immediate improvements including:
○ Weed-free medians with compacted, mulched surfaces
○ Rehabilitated tree wells and refreshed soil profiles
○ Clearly defined edges and revitalized monument beds

*The visual renderings included in this proposal are conceptual and intended for illustrative purposes only.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY:Manuel Carrillo, Director of Finance and Administrative Services Jules Tak, Accounting Manager
Andrew Tse, Human Resources Manager
Mary Ceballos, Payroll Analyst
SUBJECT:Consideration of a Resolution Adopting the Fiscal Year July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 (FY 2025-2026) Operating Capital
Improvement Budgets and Compensation Plan and Consideration of a Resolution Establishing the Gann Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-2026
MEETING DATE:June 9, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve:

1. The attached Resolution adopting the fiscal year July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 (FY 2025-2026) Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets and Compensation Plan; and

2. The attached Resolution establishing the Gann Appropriations limit for FY 2025- 2026 pursuant to Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Annual Budget Process
The City of Bell Gardens adopts a budget on an annual basis. The budget consists of projected revenues and proposed expenditures. Proposed expenditures specify the spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year, while the projected revenues address the expected available resources to fund City expenditures. Depending on the difference between the proposed expenditures and projected revenues, the budget will consist of a deficit, surplus, or a balanced budget.

Once approved by the City Council, the proposed expenditures are considered appropriated (at the fund level) and become available to pay for City expenditures.

Projected revenues are developed by the finance department along with input from other City departments. The formulation of the upcoming fiscal year’s projected revenues includes taking into consideration projected economic conditions, historical analysis, the

state budget, assistance from third-parties and other future expectations.

The budget process begins with the City Manager instructing each City department to prepare budget worksheets which detail each respective departments' spending plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The budget worksheets are received and reviewed by the finance department. Budget meetings are then held with each respective department, finance department and the City Manager to review and discuss the proposed spending plans and make adjustments as necessary. The initial proposed FY 2025-2026 General Fund budget was presented to Council for review and discussion at the May 12, 2025 Council Meeting. Additionally, the proposed FY 2025-2026 General Fund budget was presented at the Community Budget Workshop. Finally, the City Manager presents the annual budget to the City Council.

FY 2024-2025 Financial Update
General Fund Update (FY 2024-2025)
For FY 2024-2025, the City Council adopted a General Fund budget with a surplus of $72,000. During the mid-year review, estimates were revised and the City was showing a deficit of $3.8 million. Then General Fund’s projection for the end of year is a Deficit of $3.3 million.

General Fund revenues are projected to be lower than the adopted budget by $2.9 million or 6.36%. The major decrease in revenue is due to lower than normal Bicycle Club Fees received by the City during the first half of FY 2024-2025, resulting a significant reduction in General Fund revenue.

Expenditures for FY 2024-2025 are projected to be higher than the original budget amount by $486,000. During the year, MOUs were approved increasing 4% salaries, leaves payout, retro to the vacancy savings, part-time costs and increase costs in maintenance and supplies.

After the fiscal year ends on June 30, 2025, the City’s financial information will be audited and financial statements will be published which will report the actual revenues, expenditures and surplus or deficit.

•Motor Vehicle in-lieu $505,000 Increase
•Pool Fees $325,000 Increase
•Parking Lot Rental $445,000 Increase

Projected Decreases in General Fund revenue were as follows:
•Casino Revenue is expected to decrease $816,000
•Interest Income $50,000
•Transient Occupancy Tax $19,500

Bicycle Casino Revenues
After the Bicycle Hotel was opened in December of 2015, revenues from the Bicycle Casino reached a new high point in FY 2016-2017, the first full fiscal year of operation, in the amount of $14,138,000. The following fiscal year, FY 2017-2018, revenues significantly decreased by $1,208,000 to $12,930,000, but steadily increased in the following years reaching another new high in FY 2018-2019. The FY 2019-2020 Casino revenues were trending to set another record; however, on March 14, 2020, due to COVID-19, the Casino abruptly closed and sporadically open until February. Beginning March 2021, the Casino has been successfully open daily, and the revenue has been steadily increasing again. For FY 2022-2023, Casino revenue was adopted at $14,900,000 which is $500,000 higher than FY 2021-2022 estimated budget. FY 2022- 2023 saw a record high of $18,986,140. For FY 2023-2024 revenue was adopted at $17,951,569, with year-end actuals for FY 2023-2024 coming in at $18,174,682. For FY 2024-2025 we projected revenues of $19,836,000. However, because of significant construction during the initial parts of FY 2024-2025, a significant reduction in Card Room revenue was experienced, as a result the year end projection for FY 2024-2025 is $15,843,859. With Operations for the later part of FY 2024-2025 appearing to resemble previous levels of operation we are projecting FY 2025-2026 Card Room Revenue to come in at approximately $19 million.

General Fund Expenditures (FY 2025-2026)
General Fund FY 2025-2026 proposed expenditures are $50,060,167. This represents an increase of $3,857,651 or 8.3% from the prior fiscal year.

Additionally, for FY 2025-2026, the vacancy savings rate is set at 7.5% which projects the anticipated savings from current and future vacancies. The projected vacancy savings is $2,389,124 for FY 2025-2026.

Gann Limit Initiative/Appropriations Limit for FY 2025-2026 On an annual basis, California cities are required to complete an appropriations calculation for each fiscal year. The City's auditors are required to review and approve the appropriations calculation as part of their audit of the city. Article XIII-B of the California State Constitution places limits on the amount of revenue that can be spent by all entities of government. It is the responsibility of the City to calculate the annual appropriations limit. The prior fiscal year's limit is increased by a factor based upon the change in the population or that of the County if the County change in population is greater than the City's. Staff chooses the population change that is most favorable to the City. The choice of each of these factors is an annual election. For FY 2025-2026, the change in population is -0.09% for the City of Bell Gardens and 0.30% for the County of Los Angeles. The FY 2025-2026 appropriations limit calculation is based on the 0.30% County of Los Angeles population change. The change in the California per capita personal income was 6.44%.

For FY 2025-2026, the appropriations limit is $98,334,086; estimated tax proceeds are $37,175,515. The City is $67,805,287 below the FY 2025-2026 appropriation limit. An analysis of the calculation is attached on the GANN Limit worksheet.

Next Steps
Upon City Council's adoption of the budget and appropriations limit, the final adopted budget document will be compiled and published. The City budget will be constantly reviewed and updates will be provided to the City Council throughout the year.

Additionally, requested increases to supplies, services and personnel, and capital outlay request will be analyzed and prioritized for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Any necessary changes that occur during the Fiscal Year will be brought back to the City Council for consideration.

CONCLUSION:

The preliminary proposed budget will result in a FY 2025-2026 All City Funds budget of $78,793,482. The City has remaining CIP projects of $36,473,240 with $7,452,308 in new appropriations for FY 2025-2026. Once the budget is adopted by the City council, the final budget document will be compiled and published on the City’s website. The budget will be monitored throughout the year and will be reanalyzed during the mid-year budget review.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The preliminary proposed budget will result in a total FY 2025-2026 All Funds budget of $78,793,482. The proposed City budget includes General Fund expenditures of $50,060,167 and projected General fund revenues of $50,060,167 which results in a balanced budget. The proposed budget includes a $200,000 transfer to General Fund reserves which will grow the contingency reserve to $4,700,000 which is 9.3% of General Fund proposed expenditures.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM:Michael B. O’Kelly, City Manager
BY:Manuel Acosta, Community Development Director
SUBJECT:Consideration of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 956-U, Adopting and Imposing a Temporary Moratorium on the Acceptance, Processing, and Approval of Licenses, Permits, Approvals, or other Entitlements for Use, Including any Modification Thereof, for Cannabis Retail Businesses MEETING DATE:June 9, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council:

1. Find the proposed interim urgency ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3);

2. Waive full reading and adopt Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 956-U, establishing a temporary prohibition on accepting, processing, and approving licenses, permits, approvals or other entitlement actions for use, including any modification thereof, for cannabis retail business for period of 45 days.

BACKGROUND:

On June 26, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 934 conditionally allowing cannabis retail uses within portions of the City’s Commercial and Industrial zones. The uses are subject to certain siting requirements and conditions of approval for a term of 18 months, or longer upon the execution of a development agreement (DA) with the City. The DA provides for an initial five (5)-year term, subject to an option to extend for an additional five (5) years for a total ten (10)-year term.

At its April 22, 2024 regularly scheduled meeting, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 942 amending Title 5 of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (“BGMC”) to limit the number of Business Regulatory Permits for cannabis retail uses not to exceed a total of seven (7) permits.

At its May 12, 2025 regularly scheduled meeting, the City Council requested that staff also prepare an urgency ordinance to enact a moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications for entitlements for cannabis retail businesses.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:

Draft Ordinance No. 956-U:

The proposed interim urgency ordinance will enact a temporary prohibition on accepting, processing, and approving licenses, permits, approvals, modifications to previous approvals, or other entitlement actions for cannabis retail business uses. If adopted by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council, Ordinance No. 956-U would result in an interim urgency ordinance that shall be imposed for a period of 45 days and may be extended an additional 10 months and 15 days at the discretion of the City Council at a future duly noticed public hearing.

This interim urgency ordinance is intended to prevent an over-proliferation of cannabis uses within the City, thereby reducing potential negative impacts including exposure of and access by minors to cannabis and cannabis products, ensuring community stability, and protecting the economic vitality of existing businesses.

In relation to previously approved applications, if the draft interim urgency ordinance is approved, currently approved DAs are exempt from the moratorium and may proceed with execution and continue development of their proposals, unless the DA is suspended, modified, or revoked. Table 1 below reflects all cannabis retail applications and DAs, and their current DA status.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 956-U has been determined to be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). The section states that projects that do not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment are not subject to CEQA review. The adoption of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 956-U would cease activity on intake and processing of cannabis retail business applications; thus, it can be seen with certainty that ceasing intake and processing of cannabis retail business applications would not cause a direct or indirect impact on the environment.

CONCLUSION:

Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 956-U would cease intake and further processing of new cannabis retail business applications, and modification of existing applications, citywide to ensure community stability and economic vitality by addressing concerns over over- proliferation of cannabis uses. The interim urgency ordinance shall become effective immediately if adopted by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council and shall be imposed for a period of 45 days and may be extended an additional 10 months and 15 days at the discretion of the City Council at a duly noticed public hearing.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact.

INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 956-U

AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF

BELL GARDENS ADOPTING AND IMPOSING A

TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE,

PROCESSING, AND APPROVAL OF LICENSES,

PERMITS, APPROVALS, OR OTHER ENTITLEMENTS

FOR USE, INCLUDING ANY MODIFICATION THEREOF,

FOR CANNABIS RETAIL BUSINESSES
WHEREAS, the City of Bell Gardens (“City”) is a general law city, incorporated under the laws of the State of California; and
WHEREAS, on June 26, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 934 which amended Title 5 (Business Licenses, Regulations and Taxes) and Title 9 (Zoning and Planning Regulations) to conditionally permit a cannabis retail use at qualifying sites with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit and acquisition of a Business Regulatory Permit; and
WHEREAS, a total of nine applications have been submitted since the effective date of Ordinance No. 934; and
WHEREAS, on April 22, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 942 which amended Title 5 of the BGMC to limit the number of Business Regulatory Permits for a cannabis retail use not to exceed a total of seven permits (Ordinance No. 934 and 942 hereinafter collectively referred to as “Cannabis Regulations”); WHEREAS, there is a concern that there is an over proliferation of proposed cannabis retail establishments within the City limits; and WHEREAS, Section 9.20.160(A)(3) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (“BGMC”) requires cannabis retail uses to be a minimum of 600 feet from sensitive uses such as schools, day cares, parks, and youth centers (“Sensitive Uses”) to limit the exposure of minors to the availability of cannabis and cannabis products; and WHEREAS, Section 9.20.160(C)(2) of the BGMC also requires applicants to submit radius maps indicating all Sensitive Uses within 1,500 feet from the proposed location in order for the City to fully evaluate potential impacts to the public safety, health and welfare; and
WHEREAS, despite the limitations imposed by Ordinance No. 942 to limit the issuance Business Regulatory Permits to a total of seven permits combined with the 2.5 square mile geographical limitations of the City, the City continues to receive and process applications, which are increasingly located in closer proximity to Sensitive Uses, in particular to schools; and

WHEREAS, the City desires to limit minors’ exposure to the availability of cannabis and cannabis products when visiting such Sensitive Uses; and WHEREAS, on May 12, 2025, the City Council directed staff to draft an ordinance that would establish a moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications for cannabis Business Regulatory Permits; and WHEREAS, the City desires to study and analyze the Cannabis Regulations to ensure that they are effectively regulating the establishment and operation of cannabis retail establishments within the City limits, and ensure that they do not unnecessarily expose minors to access to cannabis and cannabis products; and WHEREAS, cannabis retail operations often take place in existing commercial or industrial buildings, and operate similarly to other retail operations, and would be subject to the same development standards as other commercial operations, including but not limited to height, setbacks, and parking; but subject to more restrictive siting requirements and thus, it can be seen with certainty that by adopting Ordinance No. 956-U, establishing a moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications for cannabis Business Regulatory Permits and Conditional Use Permits, the regulation of cannabis retail sales will not cause a direct or indirect impact on the environment pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, § 15000 et seq.) Section 15061(b)(3).

NOW THEREFORE, the people of the City of Bell Gardens do resolve, determine, find and ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and determines the following:

A. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings of the City Council and are incorporated in full, herein.

B. Based upon the findings set forth above and all oral and written testimony and reports presented by members of the public and City staff to the City Council at the June 9, 2025 meeting, the continuous approval, establishment, and operation of cannabis retail establishments in the limited areas where they are permitted in the City poses an immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare because of the over proliferation of such uses established in near proximity to Sensitive Uses, such as schools. Therefore, the immediate threat of public safety, health and welfare, particularly the City’s youth, within the City limits, justifies adoption of an interim urgency moratorium ordinance.

C. In order to allow the City appropriate time to study the impacts of cannabis retail establishments and to adopt, if necessary, amendments to the Cannabis Regulations so as to ensure that the Cannabis Regulations are up to date and effectively regulate cannabis retail establishments, a temporary moratorium on the approval of new cannabis retail establishments must be enacted.

D. This Interim Urgency Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it is reasonably foreseeable that this action would not result in any significant environmental impacts, therefore no further action is required.

SECTION 2. Pursuant to the authority granted to the City Council by California Government Code Section 65858 to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the City of Bell Gardens, and based upon the findings set forth above and all oral and written testimony and reports presented by members of the public and City staff to the City Council on June 9, 2025, the City Council hereby enacts as an interim urgency measure a moratorium to take effect immediately upon the adoption of this Interim Urgency Ordinance as follows:

A. Except as otherwise provided herein, all terms used in this Interim Urgency Ordinance shall have the same definitions as provided for in Chapter 9.04 of the BGMC.

B. Except as set forth in subsection (C), beginning on the effective date of this Interim Urgency Ordinance, no licenses, permits, approvals, or other entitlements for grading, building, improvements, and/or use shall be approved for or issued to a Cannabis Retail establishment, including, without limitation, Conditional Use Permits, Development Agreements, Business Regulatory Permits, Building Permits, Grading Permits, or any other permit or approval issued pursuant to Chapters 5.12, 5.64, 6.04, 9.20, or 9.50 of the BGMC, nor shall any modification to any existing Permit be approved.

C. The moratorium established in subsection (B) shall not apply to the approval, issuance, or modification of any licenses, permits, approvals, or other entitlement for any Cannabis Retail establishment which by June 9, 2025 has been authorized by an ordinance of City Council to enter into and execute a development agreement, unless such development agreement is suspended, revoked, or terminated.

SECTION 3. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d), ten (10) days prior to the expiration or any extension of this Interim Urgency Ordinance, the City Council will issue a written report describing the measures studied and recommended actions to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of this Interim Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 4. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Interim Urgency Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Interim Urgency Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Interim Urgency Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective

of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions might subsequently be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 5. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), this Interim Urgency Ordinance shall take effect immediately but shall be of no further force and effect forty-five (45) days from its date of adoption, unless the City Council, after notice and public hearing as provided under Government Code Section 65858(a) and adoption of the findings required by Government Code Section 65858(c), subsequently extends this Interim Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance to be published or posted as required by law, which shall take full force and effect immediately upon its adoption by a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council.
