CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council

CONSENT 33. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENTWITH ALBERT A. WEBB TO PROVIDE AN INTERIM TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO THE PUBLIC WORKSDEPARTMENT (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City contracts with Albert A. Webb Associates to provide professional engineering services for a variety of traffic-related Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. The City’s CIP is its long-term plan for designing and constructing public infrastructure improvements, such as traffic signals, roadway safety improvements, and other transportation projects.

In January 2023, the City Council approved a three-year on-call professional engineering services agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates in an amount not to exceed $900,000, with one optional one-year renewal (Exhibit No. 1). An “on-call” agreement allows the City to use engineering services as needed for multiple projects, without having to enter into a separate contract for each individual task. In July 2025, the City Council approved an amendment to extend the agreement through December 31, 2026, and increased the contract amount by $300,000, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,200,000 (Exhibit No. 2). Due to the increasing number of CIP projects and the resignation of the City Traffic Engineer, continued and expanded support from Albert A. Webb Associates is necessary to maintain project delivery, ensure traffic safety oversight, and avoid delays to critical transportation improvements.

Consequently, staff is requesting City Council approval of proposed Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit No. 3) to the Contract Services Agreement to continue staff augmentation, which means using temporary professional services to fill a vacant position until a permanent hire is made. Approval of this amendment would allow Albert A. Webb Associates to provide an Interim Traffic Engineer, increase the contract amount by $130,000, and result in a revised total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,330,000.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Contract Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates to provide staff augmentation for an Interim Traffic Engineer, increasing the contract amount by $130,000 and resulting in a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,330,000; and,

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute the proposed Amendment No. 2, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT APPROVE Amendment No. 2 to the Contract Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates.

2. TAKE another action as deemed appropriate by the City Council, consistent with applicable legal requirements.

IV. BACKGROUND
The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for designing and delivering a wide range of public infrastructure projects, including roadway improvements, traffic safety projects, and several projects that are grant funded. Grant-funded projects require strict schedules and reporting, making timely design and construction especially important. Given the high volume of work currently underway, the use of on-call professional engineering services provides the City with needed flexibility and additional technical capacity to deliver projects efficiently. An on-call engineering contract allows the City to access qualified engineering professionals on an as-needed basis, rather than issuing a separate Request for Proposals (RFP) for each individual project. This approach saves time, reduces administrative costs, and allows staff to move projects forward more quickly by accelerating the preparation of plans, specifications, and cost estimates, which are the technical documents required before construction can begin.

In January 2023, the City Council approved a three-year on-call professional engineering services contract, with one optional one-year extension, with Albert A. Webb Associates in an amount not to exceed $900,000. The contract was based on projected project needs at that time. Since then, the number of capital projects scheduled for upcoming fiscal years has increased significantly. In addition, the resignation of the City’s Traffic Engineer has created a critical staffing gap within the Engineering Division. To address these needs, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1 in July 2025, which extended the contract by one additional year and increased the contract amount by $300,000, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to $1,200,000.

With the Traffic Engineer position currently vacant, the City has an ongoing need for qualified interim professional support to oversee current and upcoming transportation and traffic-related projects until the position is permanently filled. Staff augmentation refers to the temporary use of outside professional services to supplement City staff and ensure continuity of operations. To address this need, staff is requesting City Council approval of the proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Contract Services Agreement with Albert A. Webb Associates to provide Interim Traffic Engineer services. Approval of this amendment would increase the contract amount by $130,000, resulting in a revised not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,330,000.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
If the proposed amendment is approved, the contract with Albert A. Webb Associates will increase by $130,000, resulting in a revised not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,330,000. A “not-to-exceed” amount means the City may not spend more than this total without additional City Council approval. Funding for this amendment is already included in the adopted FY 2025-26 Operating Budget within the Engineering Professional Services account (101- 80-820-100-6004), and no additional budget appropriation is required.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 6, 2026, 5:00 PM
CONSENT 34. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Engineering Subject: CONSIDER RECORDING A “NOTICE OF EXEMPTION” IN THE OFFICE OF THE LOS ANGELESCOUNTY CLERK AND WITH THE STATE CLEARING HOUSE FOR PROJECT NO. 1753 (UNIVERSITY DRIVEREHABILITATION - AVALON BLVD TO WILMINGTON AVE), PURSUANT TO SECTION 15302 OF THECALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT GUIDELINES (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
Project No. 1753: University Drive Rehabilitation (Avalon Boulevard to Wilmington Avenue) is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which is the City’s long-term plan for maintaining and improving public infrastructure such as streets, sidewalks, and utilities. This project is scheduled for construction during Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. Funding for the project will be provided through a combination of federal Surface Transportation Program Local (STPL) funds, which are federal transportation dollars allocated to local agencies, and the Development Impact Fee (DIF) – Transportation Fund, which consists of fees paid by new development to help fund transportation improvements.

The proposed work will focus on improving the overall condition and safety of University Drive. Improvements include removing and replacing damaged sections of asphalt roadway, grinding down the existing pavement and placing a new four-inch layer of asphalt (commonly referred to as a “grind and overlay”), repairing damaged sidewalks, driveway entrances, curbs, and gutters, and upgrading pedestrian curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards. The project will also include updated street signage and pavement markings, including striping for the bike lane, to improve visibility and safety for all roadway users.

Consequently, this evening the City Council is being asked to authorize staff to file a Notice of Exemption in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This action confirms that the project qualifies for an exemption under CEQA and that no further environmental review is required before proceeding.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. MAKE the California Environmental Quality Act finding that the proposed Project No. 1753: University DriveRehabilitation from Avalon Blvd to Wilmington Ave is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15302(b) of theCalifornia Environmental Quality Act guidelines; and,2. AUTHORIZE staff to record the “Notice of Exemption” (EXHIBIT No. 1) in the office of the Los AngelesCounty Clerk and with the State Clearing House at the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research for Project No. 1753: University Drive Rehabilitation from Avalon Blvd to Wilmington Ave.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT APPROVE the above recommendations. However, staff will not be able to proceed with the construction of the project.

2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Project No. 1753: University Drive Rehabilitation (Avalon Boulevard to Wilmington Avenue) is included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which is the City’s long-term plan for maintaining and improving public infrastructure. The estimated cost of the project is $4,375,000, and it is scheduled for implementation during Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. Funding for the project will be provided through a combination of Surface Transportation Program Local (STPL) federal funds, which support local transportation improvements, and the Development Impact Fee (DIF) – Transportation Fund, which consists of fees collected from new development to help fund roadway and transportation infrastructure.

The project will improve the condition, safety, and accessibility of University Drive. Proposed improvements include removing and replacing deteriorated sections of asphalt roadway; grinding down the existing pavement and installing a new four-inch layer of asphalt (commonly referred to as a “grind and overlay”); repairing damaged sidewalks, driveway entrances, curbs, and gutters; upgrading pedestrian curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards; and installing updated street signage and pavement markings, including bike lane striping.

On September 2, 2025, the City awarded a contract to AYCE, Inc. to prepare the project’s Plans, Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E). The PS&E phase includes the detailed engineering drawings, technical requirements, and cost estimates needed to formally advertise the project and solicit bids from construction contractors. Completion of the PS&E phase is anticipated in January 2026. Once this work is complete, the City will move forward with the construction procurement process, which includes advertising the project, receiving bids, and awarding a construction contract. Based on current assumptions, the anticipated project delivery schedule is as follows:

Completion of PS&E: January 2026
Advertise for Construction Bids: February 2026
Award Construction Contract: March 2026
Execution of Contract: April 2026
Issuance of Purchase Order and Notice to Proceed: May 2026 Start of Construction: June 2026
Estimated Construction Completion: November 2026
Staff will continue to monitor progress and will provide updates to the City Council as the project advances through each phase.

Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption because it involves the repair and replacement of existing public infrastructure with no expansion of use.

Specifically, the project meets the criteria set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, which applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities where the new improvements are substantially the same in size, purpose, and capacity as the facilities being replaced.

Consequently, it is recommended this evening that the City Council authorize staff to record a Notice of Exemption, confirming compliance with CEQA requirements and allowing the project to proceed without further environmental review.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
No funding approval is being requested as part of this staff report. Staff is requesting authorization only to record a Notice of Exemption, which is required to document compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project’s preliminary estimated construction cost is $4,375,000. Construction is planned to be funded through a combination of Surface Transportation Program Local (STPL) federal funds and the Development Impact Fee (DIF) - Transportation Fund, both of which are existing, previously identified funding sources.

CONSENT 35. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Dr. Arlington Rodgers, Director of Public Works PW Operations Subject: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THEMAINTENANCE CONTRACT WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY CONSERVATION CORPS, FOR WEEDABATEMENT, REMOVAL OF MISCELLANEOUS DEBRIS, WITHIN THE CITY’S RIGHT OF WAY (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On October 3, 2023, the City Council awarded a one-year Maintenance Contract to the Los Angeles Conservation Corps to provide routine maintenance services within the City’s public right-of-way, which includes areas such as streets, sidewalks, parkways, and other publicly maintained spaces. Services under the contract include weed abatement (i.e., the removal of overgrown weeds and vegetation), removal of discarded items, and cleanup of miscellaneous debris to help keep public areas safe, clean, and accessible.

The original contract was awarded in response to Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 23-17, a competitive bidding process used by the City to select qualified contractors based on price and responsiveness. The contract was approved for a one-year term with a total amount of $433,379.89, and included two optional one-year extensions at the same annual amount, which the City could exercise at its discretion. On November 19, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1, which exercised the first one-year extension, extending the contract term through November 20, 2025, and increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount to $866,759.78.

Staff is now requesting City Council approval of the proposed Amendment No. 2 (Exhibit 1) to exercise the second and final one-year extension option. If approved, the contract term would be extended through November 20, 2026, and an additional $433,379.89 would be added, bringing the new total not-to-exceed contract amount to $1,300,139.67.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Contract Services Agreement between the City of Carson and the Los Angeles Conservation Corps to extend the contract term by one additional year and increase the contract amount by $433,379.89, resulting in a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,300,139.67; and,

2. AUTHORIZE the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 2, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.

III. ALTERNATIVES

1. DO NOT APPROVE the proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Contract Services Agreement with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps.

2. TAKE another action as deemed appropriate by the City Council, consistent with applicable legal requirements.

IV. BACKGROUND
One of the core responsibilities of the Public Works Department is maintaining the City’s public right-of-way (ROW), which includes streets, sidewalks, medians, parkways, and other publicly maintained areas. This work includes addressing overgrown vegetation, illegal dumping, and the removal of litter and miscellaneous debris. Weed control is typically performed through the application of approved weed-control solutions followed by physical removal. Debris is routinely collected from areas such as tree wells, medians, sidewalks, and roadways as part of the City’s ongoing maintenance programs.

In addition to areas maintained directly by the City, the Public Works Department works proactively and in coordination with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to address similar maintenance issues within State-owned areas located in the City, such as freeway overpasses and underpasses, freeway on- and off- ramps, and other State-controlled transportation corridors. Due to limited staffing resources, the Public Works Department is not able to maintain both the City’s public right-of-way (ROW) and Caltrans-controlled areas at the same level of service at all times. To address this gap, the City utilizes the Los Angeles Conservation Corps to supplement City and Caltrans efforts by providing trained maintenance crews to perform weed abatement, litter removal, and debris cleanup within Caltrans-controlled areas.

To ensure these services are provided efficiently and cost-effectively, staff solicited competitive bids from qualified contractors to perform weed abatement, litter removal, debris cleanup, and graffiti removal services throughout the City’s right-of-way, including Caltrans ROW areas such as freeway overpasses, underpasses, and freeway ramps.

The City released Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 23-17, which was advertised through PlanetBids from August 10, 2023, through August 31, 2023. A total of eight bids were received and formally opened by the Purchasing Division Manager in the City Clerk’s Office on August 31, 2023.

After review, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, meaning the bid met all City requirements and the contractor demonstrated the ability to perform the work as specified. On October 3, 2023, the City Council awarded a one-year maintenance contract to the Los Angeles Conservation Corps in the amount of $433,379.89, with two optional one-year extensions at the same annual amount. On November 19, 2024, the City Council approved Amendment No. 1, which exercised the first extension option, extending the contract term through November 20, 2025, and increasing the total not-to-exceed contract amount to $866,759.78.

Staff now recommends that the City Council approve the proposed Amendment No. 2 to exercise the second and final one-year extension, extending the contract through November 20, 2026. Approval of this amendment would add $433,379.89 to the contract and allow the contractor to continue providing these essential maintenance services within the City’s public right-of-way. With this extension, the total not-to-exceed contract amount would be $1,300,139.67.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed Amendment No. 2 would add $433,379.89 to the Maintenance Contract with the Los Angeles Conservation Corps, resulting in a new total not-to-exceed contract amount of $1,300,139.67. Although the amendment covers a full one-year service period, the contract term spans two City fiscal years. As a result, funding for the contract is split across two budget cycles. Approximately $375,000 has been budgeted in FY 2025- 26, with the remaining balance to be programmed in FY 2026-27 as part of the City’s annual budget adoption process. Currently, approximately $250,000 is available on the existing FY 2025-26 purchase order for the Los Angeles Conservation Corps. Any additional funds required to complete services during the remainder of FY 2025- 26 will be funded from the Public Works Professional Services account (101-80-840-281-6004), which has sufficient funds available.

CITY OF CARSON 701 East Carson Street
Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Tuesday, January 6, 2026, 5:00 PM
SPECIAL ORDERS OF THE DAY 36. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nathan Freeman, Director of Community and Economic Development CD Planning Subject: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCEEXTENDING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF CAR WASHESWITHIN CITY LIMITS DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CITY’S REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF PERMANENTZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH USES FOR AN ADDITIONAL TEN MONTHS AND FIFTEEN DAYS (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
On December 2, 2025, the City Council unanimously adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 25-2521U, establishing a 45-day moratorium on new or expanded car wash operations while permanent zoning regulations are developed. Adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the ordinance took effect immediately and is set to expire on January 16, 2026, unless extended by the Council. (Exhibit No. 3).

A 10-day report was scheduled to be issued by the City Council as part of the consent calendar for tonight's meeting, as required pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(d) (see Exhibit No. 2).

The purpose of this item is for the City Council to hold a public hearing and consider extending the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days from its scheduled expiration date, as authorized pursuant to Government Code Section 65858. To extend the moratorium, the City Council is required to conduct a public hearing, which has been duly noticed for tonight's meeting, and adopt an interim urgency ordinance (Ordinance No. 26-2601U, Exhibit No. 1), which would extend the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days beyond its original expiration date, i.e., to December 1, 2026, or until it is superseded. Adoption of the urgency ordinance requires a four-fifths vote of the City Council.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. OPEN the public hearing, TAKE public comments, and CLOSE the public hearing; and

2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Ordinance No. 26-2601U, “AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, EXTENDING URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 25-2521U, WHICH INSTITUTED A 45-DAY TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF CAR WASHES WITHIN CITY LIMITS DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CITY’S REVIEW AND ADOPTION

OF PERMANENT ZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH USES FOR AN ADDITIONAL TEN MONTHS AND FIFTEEN DAYS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF."
III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE such other action as the City Council deems appropriate, consistent with the requirements of law.

IV. BACKGROUND
Notices
A public hearing notice was published as required by law.

Temporary 45-Day Moratorium
The current Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 25-2521U will expire on January 16, 2026, if it is not extended by the City Council on or before that date.
10-Day Report & Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 26-2601U
Ten days prior to expiration of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 25-2521U or any extension, the City Council is required to issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition that led to the adoption of the Ordinance. (Gov’t Code §65858(d)). As of the writing of this report, the City Council was slated to consider the 10-Day Report on Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 25-2521U as a separate item on the consent calendar for tonight's meeting.

As detailed in the 10-day report, new development and proliferation of car washes permitted under current zoning regulations may result in negative secondary effects, including increased noise, traffic, pollution, and public health and safety concerns. Such uses may adversely affect neighboring properties and, absent carefully tailored regulations, may disrupt the quality of life for nearby residents and businesses. Since the adoption of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 25-2521U, the City has begun the process of gathering stakeholder input, reviewing City and peer-city car wash regulations, and analyzing the number and types of car washes operating in the City.

More time is requested to adequately study and make recommendations concerning the potential amendments to City regulations that would alleviate those potential impacts. Completing the required analyses, as well as developing and implementing the appropriate modifications, is anticipated to take at least several months.

Therefore, the initial 45 days’ effectiveness of the moratorium enacted by Ordinance No. 25-2521U provides an insufficient amount of time to fully study and consider all the above, and any other impacts and relevant proposals.

As detailed in Ordinance No. 26-2601U, extension of the moratorium will continue to prevent a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, and is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare of the City.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 26-2601U, on an urgency basis, to extend, for 10 months and 15 days pursuant to Government Code Section 65858(a), the temporary prohibition on new car washes and the expansion of existing car washes in the City. The extension of the moratorium would be effective January 16, 2026, the Moratorium's original scheduled expiration date, and would be of no further force and effect 10 months and 15 days thereafter, December 1, 2026, unless the City Council extends the Moratorium for an additional period of time in accordance with the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 65858.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

WHEREAS, the City of Carson (“City”) has the authority, under its police power, to enact regulations for the public peace, morals, a nd welfare of the City pursuant to its Charter and California Constitution Article XI, section 7; and
WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, residents, visitors and businesses, and in preserving the peace and quiet of the neighborhoods within the City by regulating the establishment and expansion of Car Washes (as defined in this Ordinance below) within City limits; and WHEREAS, the City is responsible for adopting and implementing land use regulations within its boundaries; and
WHEREAS, City of Carson Municipal Code (“CMC”) section 9138.14(F) establishes standards for automobile/vehicle washing facilities; and WHEREAS, CMC section 9138.15 requires vehicle washing and detailing services to be screened from public right-of-way along streets within the Commercial Automotive District Zone and residential areas; and
WHEREAS, CMC section 51005 requires commercial conveyor car wash systems to install and operate recirculating water systems; and
WHEREAS, the City’s current Zoning Code prohibits Car Washes in or within 100 feet of residential zones, as well as in the Downtown Mixed Use zone, and requires Conditional Use Permits in other zones; and
WHEREAS, the City’s existing development standards for Car Washes are insufficient and, together with the City’s current land use regulations, could result in establishment of Car Wash uses that are detrimental to public health, safety , and welfare of nearby residents and business and a proliferation or oversaturation of said uses within the City; and WHEREAS, the establishment and proliferation of Car Washes throughout the City without sufficient regulation presents a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare because Car Washes generate undesirable conditions for adjacent properties as a result of noisy, largescale industrial equipment including vacuums, pumps, pressurized sprayers, dryers,

01007.0002 2073422.2 12/30/2025 2

engines, and car stereos. In addition the use increases vehicle traffic in the immediate vicinity, and can cause runoff of chemicals. Finally, airborne mist, odors from chemicals , and vehicle exhaust are also a result of such uses; and
WHEREAS, absent sufficient regulation, the establishment, proliferation , and oversaturation of Car Washes in the City poses a threat to the public peace, health, and safety, and, unless the City takes action to regulate, the impacts described above are likely to continue to occur; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to regulate Car Washes to ensure that public right -of-ways and public property remain free of public nuisances, are safe and accessible for all users, are clear of conditions that pose threats to public health, safety, and welfare, to en sure that future development is undertaken in a manner consistent with the City’s General Plan, and to ensure that Car Wash Operators comply with State and City regulations that inure to the public’s health, safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, the City anticipates that Car Wash operators may seek to establish additional Car Washes, or desire to expand existing Car Washes before a non -urgency ordinance would become effective; and
WHEREAS, City Charter Section 313, as well as California Government Code Sections 36934, 36937, and 65858 expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, and to prohibit a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning 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, City staff require additional time to study and develop appropriate regulations for Car Wash Operators consistent with State and federal law; and WHEREAS, on December 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 25-2521U, which imposed a temporary moratorium on the establishment or expansion of new Car Washes within the City of Carson (“Moratorium”), based upon immediate threats to public health, safety, and welfare described above; and
WHEREAS, the City Council continues to be concerned that the potential proliferation of new Car Washes, as well as the expansion of existing Car Washes, that may adversely affect the City’s economic vitality, and may result in a high concentration of Car Washes in the City, which can give rise to the harms already noted herein and may not be compatible with existing and potential uses of similarly zoned businesses; and
WHEREAS, as provided in the Moratorium, the City’s current standards for Car Washes may be too broad and present a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare because they do not address issues such as the undesirable conditions created by an excessive proliferation of Car Washes, to include their impact on adjacent business, traffic, runoff, noise, and their inconsistencies with the Carson General Plan; and

01007.0002 2073422.2 12/30/2025 3

WHEREAS, based upon the for egoing, an extension of the Moratorium is necessary so that the City may continue to thoroughly investigate, review, study, and amend the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to the expansion of existing or establishment of new Car Washes within the City; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City Council to adopt and extend an urgency ordinance prohibiting any uses which may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal which the City Council or the City’s Planning Commission or Planning Department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, for the purpose of the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, or welfare; and
WHEREAS, on January 6, 2026, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing to consider extension of the Moratorium pursuant to Government Code Section 65858; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the above -described express statutory authority and its police power, the City Council desires, on an urgency basis, to extend the temporary prohibition on the establishment of new, or expansion of existing, Car Washes within the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. FINDINGS
The City Council finds and determines the Recitals above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated by reference. Additionally, based on the foregoing, both verbal and written testimony at the public hearing, including the staff report, exhibits, and any materials provided by members of the public, the City Council finds as follows:

A. There continues to be a public urgency and a need to immediately protect the public health, safety, and welfare, as detailed further in the Moratorium and in this Ordinance.

B. The Moratorium prohibits the expansion or establishment of Car Washes for a period of 45 days from its adoption while the City Council, the City Planning Commission, and/or the City’s Community Development Department is considering or studying or intends to study the establishment of new Car Washes, or the expansion of existing Car Washes.

C. There is insufficient time for the City to adopt a regular, non -urgency ordinance applicable to these types of businesses. The Moratorium complies with applicable state law and preserves the status quo so that the City may either prohibit such uses or establish reasonable rules and regulations protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of City residents and businesses regarding the establishment of new Car Washes or the expansion of existing Car Washes.

D. Without an extension of the Moratorium, the potential adverse direct and secondary effects of the establishment of new Car Washes or the expansion of existing Car Washes present a clear and present danger to the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare of the community . Further, the potential proliferation of Car Washes may adversely affec t the

01007.0002 2073422.2 12/30/2025 4

City’s economic vitality, and may not be compatible with existing and potential uses of similarly zoned businesses.

E. In light of the concerns noted herein, the City Council determines it continues to be in the interest of protecting the immediate public health, sa fety, or welfare to extend the Moratorium by 10 months and 15 days in order to allow staff time to, among other related tasks, continue and/or proceed with a comprehensive study to research and consider potential regulatory and zoning mechanisms for regulating such businesses.

F. Until such time that staff concludes a comprehensive study and the City Council determines whether to adopt new regulatory controls over Car Washes, the community is in jeopardy in that such businesses could be established which would be in potential conflict with the City’s regulatory or zoning proposals. The establishment of such new businesses would defeat the intent and purpose of any potential future regulation and substantially impair its effective implementation.

G. Based upon the for egoing, this urgency extension of the Moratorium is necessary in order to ensure that adequate regulation regarding the establishment of Car Washes in the City is adopted prior to the issuance of any new permits authorizing such activities to an extent greater than set forth in the Moratorium.

H. Based upon the foregoing, issuance or approval of any building, planning, or other applicable entitlements for the establishment of new Car Washes, or the expansion of existing Car Washes prior to the staff's completion of its comprehensive study would result in a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, and therefore extension of the Moratorium will continue to prevent a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, and welfare.

SECTION 2. TEN DAY WRITTEN REPORT
In accordance with Government Code Section 65858(d), on Januar y 6, 2026, the City Council issued a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the Moratorium.

SECTION 3. CEQA COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") Guidelines (14 CCR §§15000 et seq.), this extension of the Moratorium is exempt from CEQA based on the following:
(i) This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Section 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly; and (ii) this O rdinance is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) because the proposed ordinance involves an extension of the Moratorium on the operation of Car Washes and does not have the potential to significantly impact the environment.

SECTION 4. EXTENSION
The Moratorium is hereby extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days from its original expiration date, January 16, 2026, such that the Moratorium will now expire on December 1, 2026, or when an ordinance supersedes the Moratorium.

01007.0002 2073422.2 12/30/2025 5

SECTION 5. URGENCY MEASURE
Based upon the for egoing, the City Council hereby declares that this extension of the Moratorium is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare of the City.

SECTION 6. SEVERABILITY
The City Council hereby declares, if any provision, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is rendered or declared invalid or unconstitutional by any final action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, then the City Council would have independently adopted the remaining provisions, sections, subsections, paragraphs, sente nces, phrases, or words of this O rdinance, and as such they shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 7. EFFECTIVENESS OF ORDINANCE
This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a 4/5 vote , pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by Government Code Section s 36934, 36937, and 65858. As provided in Section 4, the extension of the Moratorium pursuant to this Ordinance shall be effective January 16, 2026, and shall be of no further force and 10 months and 15 days beyond the Moratorium’s original expiration date, December 1, 2026, unless the City council shall extend the Moratorium for an addition al period of time in accordance with the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 65858. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Moratorium (as extended by this Ordinance), or any extension thereof, the City Council shall issue a written report describing the measures the City has taken to address the conditions which led to the adoption of the Moratorium and its extensions.

SECTION 8. PUBLICATION
The City Clerk shall certify as to the passage and adoption of this extension of the Moratorium and shall cause the same to be published in a manner prescribed by law.

Expansion of Carwashes Within City Limits During t he
Pendency of the City’s Review a nd Adoption o f Permanent Zoning Regulations for Such Uses
January 6, 2026

10-Day Report Carwash Interim Urgency Moratorium

Page 2 of 3 ends

On December 2, 2025, the City Council of the City Carson (“City”) adopted an Interim Urgency Ordinance 25-2521U, establishing a temporary moratorium on new Car Washes and the expansion of existing Car Washes in the City (the “Moratorium” or the “Ordinance”). The Ordinance is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The City Council determined that the potential new development and proliferation of Car Washes in the City under the current zoning ordinance would likely result in negative and harmful secondary effects, including, but not limited to, increased noise, traffic, pollution, public health and safety concerns. The City Council further concluded that Car Washes may often generate undesirable conditions for adjacent properties and that these impacts can be detrimental to the quality of life for adjacent residents and disruptive to adjacent businesses. Allowing the continued establishment of Car Washes without carefully tailored regulations will result in the immediate potential for disruptions to the quality of life for adjacent residents and businesses.

Given these factors, the City Council enacted the Moratorium to protect public health, safety, and welfare by allowing the City time to consider , study, and develop as necessary laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to Car Washes.

The City Council enacted the Moratorium pursuant to Section 65858 of the California Government Code, which took effect immediately and will expire on January 16, 2026, unless extended by the City Council.

Subdivision (d) of Section 65858 of the Government Code provides that : “[t]en days prior to the expiration of that interim ordinance or any extension, the legislative body shall issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance.”

This report complies with the requirements of Government Code section 65858(d). During the period the Moratorium has been in place, the City has taken the following measures to investigate and alleviate the conditions which led to adoption of the Moratorium:

• Seeking and receiving initial feedback from parties and businesses interested in or affected by the Moratorium;
• Reviewing the City's development standards and land use regulations for Car Washes, including assessing the initial adequacy of distance buffers required to address concerns about concentrations;
• Conducting research on the economics of Car Washes, and surveying land use regulations and development standards for Car Washes in other cities • Quantifying the total number of car washes currently in operation within the City; and • Characterizing the quantity of various types of Car Washes present in the City, self-service, full-service, and ancillary facilities.

The potential impacts of development, expansion, and modification of the uses subject to this Moratorium necessitate further time and analysis to achieve the purposes of the Moratorium. 10-Day Report Carwash Interim Urgency Moratorium

Page 3 of 3 ends

Proper completion of the measures outlined above will necessitate extending the Moratorium past the January 16, 2026, expiration date for another 10 months and 15 days. The initial 45- day moratorium period enacted by the Ordinance provides an insufficient amount of time to fully study and consider all the above.

During the period of the extension of the Moratorium, City staff will continue to perform the tasks outlined above to completion in order for the City to establish a comprehensive regulatory system that will protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of the residents, while also providing more clarification to existing and potential Car Wash operators.

CALIFORNIA, ENACTED PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION 65858 ESTABLISHING A 45 -DAY TEMPORARY

MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OR EXPANSION OF

CARWASHES WITHIN CITY LIMITS DURING THE PENDENCY OF THE CITY’S REVIEW AND ADOPTION OF PERMANENT ZONING REGULATIONS

FOR SUCH USES
WHEREAS, the City of Carson (“City”) has the authority, under its police power, to enact regulations for the public peace, morals, and welfare of the City pursuant to California Constitution Article XI, section 7; and
WHEREAS, the City has a compelling interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare of its citizens, residents, visitors and businesses, and in preserving the peace and quiet of the neighborhoods within the City by regulating the establishment and expansion of Car Washes (as defined in this Ordinance below) within City limits; and

WHEREAS, the City is responsible for adopting and implementing land use regulations within its boundaries; and
WHEREAS, City of Carson Municipal Code (“CMC”) section 9138.14(F) establishes standards for automobile/vehicle washing facilities; and
WHEREAS, CMC section 9138.15 requires vehicle washing and detailing services to be screened from public right-of-way along streets within the Commercial Automotive District Zone and residential areas; and
WHEREAS, CMC section 51005 requires commercial conveyor car wash systems to install and operate recirculating water systems; and
WHEREAS, the City’s current Zoning Code prohibits Car Washes in or within 100 feet of residential zones, as well as in the Downtown Mixed Use zone, and requires Conditional Use Permits in other zones; and
WHEREAS, the City’s existing development standards for Car Washes are insufficient and, together with the City’s current land use regulations, could result in establishment of Car Wash uses that are detrimental to public health, safety and welfare of nearby residents and business and a proliferation or oversaturation of said uses within the City; and
WHEREAS, the establishment and proliferation of Car Washes throughout the City without sufficient regulation presents a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare because Car Washes generate undesirable conditions for adjacent properties as a result of noisy, large- scale industrial equipment including vacuums, pumps, pressurized sprayers, dryers, engines and car stereos. In addition the use increases vehicle traffic in the immediate vicinity, and 01007.0001 2067100.2

ORDINANCE NO. 25-2521U
2 can cause runoff of chemicals. Finally, airborne mist, odors from chemicals and vehicle exhaust are also a result of such uses; and
WHEREAS, absent sufficient regulation, the establishment, proliferation and oversaturation of Car Washes in the City poses a threat to the public peace, health, and safety, and, unless the City takes action to regulate, the impacts described above are likely to continue to occur; and WHEREAS, the City desires to regulate Car Washes to ensure that public right-of-ways and public property remain free of public nuisances, are safe and accessible for all users, are clear of conditions that pose threats to public health, safety, and welfare, to ensure that future development is undertaken in a manner consistent with the City’s General Plan, and to ensure that Car Wash Operators comply with State and City regulations that inure to the public’s health, safety, and welfare; and WHEREAS, the City anticipates that Car Wash operators may seek to establish additional Car Washes, or desire to expand existing Car Washes before a non -urgency ordinance would become effective; and
WHEREAS, City Charter Section 313 and Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety, and to prohibit a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning 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, City staff require time to study and develop appropriate regulations for Car Wash Operators consistent with State and federal law; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the above -described express statutory authority and its police power, the City Council desires, on an interim urgency basis, to temporarily prohibit establishment of new, or expansion of existing, Car Washes within the City.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. FINDINGS
The City Council finds the facts set forth in the recitals in this Urgency Ordinance are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated by reference. Additionally, based on the foregoing, both verbal and written testimony at the public hearing, including the staff report, exhibits, and any materials provided by members of the public, the City Council finds as follows:

A. The City Council is adopting this Ordinance in order to allow the City time to thoroughly study and develop the City’s laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to the development, operation and establishment of Car Washes to enable the City of Carson (hereafter, 01007.0001 2067100.2

ORDINANCE NO. 25-2521U
3 the “City”) to adequately and appropriately preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community in the City.

B. For the purposes of this Ordinance, “Car Washes” shall include all full service, express, and ancillary facilities in the City. Full -service car washes are usually stand -alone facilities where employees either hand wash or detail vehicles. Express car washes are usually fully automated car wash facilities with or without accompanying self -serve vacuum stalls. Ancillary facilities are typically automated facilities that are associated with gas stations, and more commonly called drive-thru car washes. Further, the definition shall also include permanent, drive-through, automated self -service, and/or attended car washing establishments, including fully mechanized facilities and/or detailing services. This ordinance is intended to apply to Car Washes that are either the primary use or the accessory use of the relevant parcel. Temporary car washes ( e.g., fundraising activities generally conducted at a service station or other automotive -related business, where volunteers wash vehicles by hand and the duration of the event is limited to one day) are not part of this definition.

C. For purposes of this Ordinance, “Car Wash Operator” shall mean a person that manages and/or operates a Car Wash, whether for profit or not.

D. The City finds that in the absence of a sufficient regulatory framework to govern Car Washes, the adverse impacts frequently associated with Car Washes likely will occur, resulting in unregulated and significant negative impacts upon the public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

E. The City finds that the adverse impacts from Car Washes include the following:
(1) The establishment and proliferation of Car Washes throughout the City without sufficient regulation presents an immediate threat to public health, safety, or welfare because Car Washes generate undesirable conditions for adjacent properties as a result of use noisy, large-scale industrial equipment including vacuums, pumps, pressurized sprayers, dryers, engines, and car stereos; and
(2) The use tends to increase vehicle traffic in their immediate vicinity, and can cause runoff of chemicals onto public property or adjacent private property; and (3) Airborne mist, and odors from chemicals and vehicle exhaust are also a result of such uses; and
F. The City also finds that Car Washes could have a negative economic impact for the City absent sufficient regulation, as follows:
(1) The use provides little economic benefit to the City or City residents, as there are minimal sales tax revenues associated with the use, few employees hired, and typical wages paid would not increase the City’s overall median income; and
(2) The continued establishment of new Car Washes will result in the immediate loss of potential revenues to the City and the immediate loss of desirable commercial and/or manufacturing sites throughout the City.
01007.0001 2067100.2

ORDINANCE NO. 25-2521U
4 G. The City needs time to draft a proposed text amendment to the Zoning Code to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community in the City with respect to the operation of Car Washes.

SECTION 2. CEQA COMPLIANCE
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines ("CEQA," California Code of Regulations Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.), this Interim Urgency Ordinance is exempt from CEQA based on the following: (i) this Interim Urgency Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Section 15378 because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly; and (ii) this Interim Urgency Ordinance is also exempt pursuant to CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) because it merely establishes a 45-day temporary moratorium on the establishment and expansion of Car Washes, and thus it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 3. AUTHORITY AND EFFECT
The State Planning and Zoning Law (Cal. Gov’t Code Sections 65000, et seq. ) and the City’s Charter broadly empower the City to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health safety and welfare, and a balancing of property rights and the desires of the community and how its citizens envisions their city.

SECTION 4. MORATORIUM
A. During the Effective Period of this Ordinance as specified below, no permit shall be issued for any development or use of any new Car Wash, nor may a permit be issued for the expansion of an existing Car Wash, within the City. The foregoing shall explicitly prohibit the issuance of any zoning, land use, discretionary permit, building permit, environmental approval, business license, or any other entitlement involving businesses defined as a Car Wash herein during the Effective Period.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any existing Car Wash facility shall be allowed to obtain their annual City business license. Additionally, permits may be issued for minor construction, rehabilitation, and landscaping, or other purposes not involving an expansion of building area. Any Car Wash facilities under construction with a valid building permit or any car wash facility approved by the Planning Commission as of the effective date of this Urgency Ordinance shall be exempt from this Urgency Ordinance.

SECTION 5. STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT
During the Effective Period of this Ordinance, the City shall study and develop as necessary City laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to Car Washes to enable the City to adequately and appropriately preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the community in the City. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, the Planning Manager will issue a report for the legislative body on what has been accomplished during the moratorium before it expires or is extended. 01007.0001 2067100.2

ORDINANCE NO. 25-2521U
5 SECTION 6. URGENCY MEASURE
It is hereby declared that this Ordinance is necessary as an urgency measure for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, safety, and welfare. The City Council finds that its current zoning regulations and land use plans do not adequately regulate the development, establishment and operation of Car Washes and therefore do not adequately protect the peace, health, safety, and general welfare of the residents of the City or in communities around the City. The City Council finds the urgency measure is necessary in order to ensure adequate regulation of the development and operation of Car Washes. The facts constituting the urgency are:

The City does not currently have sufficient standards in the Carson Municipal Code related specifically to the development, establishment and expansion of Car Washes within the City.

The negative impacts frequently associated with operation of Car Washes will likely increase as insufficiently regulated Car Washes continue to proliferate throughout the City, resulting in a significant negative impact upon public health, safety, and welfare of the community.

To permit the establishment and proliferation of Car Washes to continue within the City without specific regulations that are consistent with the General Plan, and that take into account the detrimental impacts that such establishments can have if not sufficiently regulated, constitutes a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare. Car Washes generate undesirable conditions for adjacent properties.

Airborne mist, odors from chemicals and vehicle exhaust, and noise from vacuums, pumps, pressurized sprayers, dryers, engines, and car stereos are examples of common impacts generated by these uses.

The impacts can be detrimental to the quality of life for adjacent residents and disruptive to adjacent businesses. Allowing the continued establishment of Car Washes without carefully tailored regulations will result in the immediate potential for disruptions to the quality of life for adjacent residents and businesses.

Car Wash facilities in the community can result in loss of potential revenue to the City and provide the City with little economic benefit, as there are minimal sales tax revenues associated with Car Wash operations, and therefore can have a negative economic impact on the City and its ability to deliver needed public services if left insufficiently regulated.

Car Wash facilities hire few employees and typical wages paid at Car Wash facilities would not increase the City’s overall median incomes. Car Washes therefore would not bolster employee densities in commercial and manufacturing zones or increase the per capita median income of the community.

Allowing the continued establishment of Car Washes under the existing zoning ordinance will result in the immediate loss of potential income to City residents and reduce potential employment opportunities throughout the City.

Car Wash Operators are likely to seek to establish or expand Car Washes in the City based on the lack of clear and sufficient regulations, which will further exacerbate the impacts of such businesses.

Absent the adoption of this Interim Urgency Ordinance, the continued establishment and proliferation of Car Washes in the City under the current zoning ordinance would likely result in the negative and harmful secondary effects, as identified above, including, but not limited to, 01007.0001 2067100.2

ORDINANCE NO. 25-2521U
6 increased noise, traffic, pollution, public health and safety concerns, and other impacts identified herein.

As a result of the negative and harmful secondary effects associated with insufficiently regulated development and operation of Car Washes, the current and immediate threat such effects pose to the public health, safety and welfare, it is necessary to adopt a temporary, forty-five (45) day moratorium on the establishment of new Car Washes and the expansion of existing Car Washes in the City.

A moratorium is immediately required to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare and should be adopted immediately as an urgency ordinance to make certain that the establishment and expansion of Car Washes is prohibited for the period of this Ordinance. Imposition of a moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to conclude the preparation of a comprehensive ordinance for the regulation of such activities.

SECTION 7. SEVERABILITY
The City Council hereby declares that if any provision, section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is rendered or declared invalid or unconstitutional by any final action in a court of competent jurisdiction or by reason of any preemptive legislation, then the City Council would have independently adopted the remaining provisions, sections, subsections, paragraphs, sentences, phrases, or words of this Ordinance, and as such they shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 8. EFFECTIVENESS OF ORDINANCE.

This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by a 4/5 vote, pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council by City Charter Section 313 and Government Code Section 65858. This Ordinance shall be effective during the Effective Period, which shall be from its adoption and shall be of no further force and effect forty -five (45) days following the date of its adoption, unless extended in accordance with the provisions set forth in Government Code Section 65858(b).

SECTION 9. PUBLICATION
The City Clerk shall certify as to the passage and adoption of this Interim Urgency Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published in a manner prescribed by law.
