CITY OF INDUSTRY
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
2 Effective June 11, 2026
(Supersedes All Previous Investment Policies)
1.0 Introduction. The purpose of this document is to identify various policies and procedures that enhance opportunities for a prudent and systematic investment policy and to organize and formalize investment-related activities.
Related activities which comprise good cash management include accurate cash projections, the expeditious collection of revenue, the control of disbursements, cost-effective banking relations, and arranging for a short-term borrowing program which coordinates working capital requirements and investment opportunities.
2.0 Policy. It is the policy of the City of Industry to invest public funds not required for immediate day-to-day operations in safe, liquid and medium-term investments. These investments shall yield an acceptable return while conforming to all California statutes and the City's Investment Policy.
3.0 Scope. It is intended that this policy cover the investment activities of all contingency reserves and inactive cash under the direct authority of the City and its component units including but not limited to, the City of Industry, the Successor Agency to the Industry Urban-Development Agency, the Civic-RecreationalIndustrial Authority, the Industry Public Utilities Commission, the Industry Public Facilities Authority and the Industry Property and Housing Management Authority.
3.1 Pooled Investments. Investments for the City and its component units will be made on a pooled basis including, but not limited to, the City of Industry, the Successor Agency to the Industry Urban-Development Agency, the CivicRecreational-Industrial Authority, the Industry Public Utilities Commission, the Industry Public Facilities Authority and the Industry Property and Housing Management Authority. The City's identifies the fund types involved as follows:
• General Fund
• Special Revenue Funds
• Debt Service Funds
• Capital Project Funds
• Enterprise Funds
• Trust Funds
• Miscellaneous Special Funds
• Any new funds created by the applicable governing board, unless specifically exempted
CITY OF INDUSTRY
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
3 3.2 Investments held separately. Investment of bond proceeds will be held separately when required by the bond indentures. Bond proceeds will be invested in accordance with the requirements stated in the bond indentures. This policy does not apply to deferred compensation plans.
4.0 Objectives. Section 53600.5 of the California Government Code outlines the primary objectives of a trustee investing public money. The primary objectives, in order of priority, of the City's investment activities shall be:
4.1. Safety. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
4.2 Liquidity. The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated.
4.3 Return on investment. Investment return becomes a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. The City Treasurer shall attempt to realize a yield on investments consistent with California statutes and the City’s Investment Policy.
The City Treasurer should strive to maintain the level of investment of all contingency reserves and inactive funds as close to one hundred percent (100%) as possible. While the objectives of safety and liquidity must first be met, it is recognized that portfolio assets represent a potential source of significant revenues. It is to the benefit of the City that these assets be managed to realize a yield on investments consistent with California statutes and the City’s Investment Policy.
A buy and hold strategy will generally be followed; that is, investments once made will usually be held until maturity. A buy and hold strategy will result in unrealized gains or losses as market interest rates fall or rise from the coupon rate of the investment. Unrealized gains or losses, however, will diminish as the maturity dates of the investments are approached or as market interest rates move closer to the coupon rate of the investment. A buy and hold strategy requires that the portfolio be kept sufficiently liquid to preclude the undesired sale of investments prior to maturity. Occasionally, the City Treasurer may find it advantageous to sell an investment prior to maturity, but this should only be on an exception basis and only when it is in the best interest of the City.

7.0 Selection of financial institutions and brokers/dealers. Investments shall be purchased only through well-established, financially sound institutions. The City Treasurer or City Manager or their designee may maintain a list of financial institutions and broker/dealers who are approved to provide the City with investment services. This list should be updated annually by the City Treasurer to ensure compliance with this investment policy. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions will be given a copy of the City's Investment Policy, and a return cover letter which they must sign indicating that the investment policy has been read, understood and that their investment offers will comply with this policy.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Kathy Tai, Dev. Services Manager
Beth Chow, Planning Manager
DATE: June 11, 2026
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution approving Development Plan Application No. 23-05 with conditions of approval, for the demolition of an existing industrial building totaling 28,928 square feet, and construction of a new 86,620 square foot tilt-up concrete industrial warehouse building and associated improvements, for the property located at 1015 South Azusa Avenue, City of Industry, California, and adopting a Notice of Exemption regarding same, and making findings in support thereof
Background:
Proposal:
John Cataldo on behalf of the Larson Design Group, Inc. (“Applicant”), is requesting approval for the demolition of an existing industrial building totaling 28,928 square feet, and construction of a new 86,620 square foot tilt-up concrete industrial warehouse building and associated improvements, (“Project”), located at 1015 South Azusa Avenue, City of Industry, California (APN 8242-030-018) (“Property”).
Location and Surroundings:
The Property consists of a single parcel totaling 32.23-acres (1,404,156 square feet), and is generally “L-shaped” with street frontage and access from Azusa Avenue and Chestnut Street. It is currently developed with a 575,167 square foot warehouse and distribution center on the main portion of the Property, and another 28,928 square foot detached industrial building in the southeast portion of the Property. As part of the proposal, the larger of the two buildings will remain, while the smaller will be demolished and replaced with an 86,620 square foot industrial warehouse. A total of 4.9 acres (213,349 square feet) will be disturbed for the development of the Project on the northeast portion of the site. The Property has an Industrial (M) zoning designation, and an Employment General Plan Land Use designation, which is also applicable
to the properties surrounding the Project site. Immediate surrounding uses include warehouses for manufacturing and distribution facilities. A detailed description of the existing surrounding land uses are detailed below:
North: Immediately north of the proposed building is the existing 575,167 square foot building on the same parcel, which is occupied by various wholesale and distribution centers. To the north, on the neighboring property north of the Project site is a wheel manufacturer.
East: Uses east of the Property across Azusa Avenue include a computer component hardware manufacturer and a hose coupling & accessories distributor.
South: Immediately south of the Property are the Union Pacific railroad tracks, and beyond the rail lines, a wholesaler of party and craft supplies.
West: West of the Property is Universal Warehouse, a warehouse and distribution center of new glass bottles and general merchandise.
Project Background:
Los Angeles County Assessor records show that the existing 28,620 square foot industrial warehouse building was constructed in 1993. Since 1998, Carrier Transcold of Southern California has occupied the Property and utilized it as a warehousing and distribution site for transport refrigeration and auxiliary power unit (APU) parts and equipment.
Project Entitlements:
Pursuant to Section 17.36.020 of the Industry Municipal Code (“IMC”), a development plan is required to enlarge a structure.
This Project involves the following Planning Entitlement application:
1. Development Plan Application – Long Form: In reviewing this Development Plan Application – Long Form, the City Council will evaluate whether the Project complies with the requirements set forth in IMC, Chapter 17.36.
Discussion:
General Plan Consistency:
The General Plan land use designation of the Property is Employment. Permitted uses in the Employment land use designation include a range of industrial and supporting commercial activities, such as industrial manufacturing, assembly, printing, machining, milling, welding, research and development, distribution, warehousing, storage, and supporting office uses. The proposed Project is consistent with and allowable in the Employment land use designation. The Project consists of a tilt-up concrete industrial warehouse building, which falls within the category of permitted industrial uses, specifically warehousing and distribution. Accordingly, the proposed Project is an appropriate uses for the site under the General Plan land use designation.
Zoning Code Consistency:
The project site has an Industrial (M) Zoning designation. The proposed development is consistent with zoning designation because warehouse uses are permitted in the Industrial Zone.Further, the Project is subject to the development standards set forth in IMC Chapter
17.36. As provided in Table 1 below, the Project meets or exceeds the Industrial Zone development standards.

*This table reflects the percentages for the entire parcel not just the 4.9 acre project disturbance area.
Setbacks:
The setbacks comply with IMC §17.32.040 (Building lines), building setbacks are required to be a minimum of 30-feet from the curb line of any street (Azusa Avenue) or highway to the building, whether the street is improved or not. The proposed building expansion is setback 75 feet from Azusa Avenue to the west and 35 feet from the Union Pacific Railroad Line to the south.
Therefore, it exceeds the City’s minimum required setback distance.
Landscaping:
The disturbed site will be improved with 30,696 square feet of proposed landscaping, primarily located along the perimeter of the Project site and within the parking areas.
Section 17.36.060.Q of the IMC requires that a minimum of 12% of the disturbed area be devoted to landscaping. Based on this requirement, a minimum of 168,498 square feet of landscaping is required for the entire Project site. The Project exceeds this requirement by proposing a total of 168,500 square feet of landscaping.
As part of the design, all landscaping and irrigation areas will employ water conservation principals, including, but not limited to, such provisions as water sensors, programmable irrigation times with short cycle capabilities. These measures will be consistent with the City’s Water Efficient Landscape ordinance (IMC Chapter 13.18). All common landscape areas will be maintained by the property owner.
Parking and Access:
As indicated in Table 1, the Project complies with both parking and drive aisle width requirements set forth in the IMC. The Project will feature 885 parking spaces, which exceeds the City’s parking requirement. Additionally, all existing and proposed drive aisle widths will meet or exceed the required twenty-six-foot (26’) drive aisle minimum width.
The Project does not require additional ingress or egress and will not alter the overall circulation pattern on the site. Existing site access consists of a single forty-foot (40’) wide driveway off Azusa Road and two (2) forty-foot (40’) wide driveways off Chestnut Street.
Therefore, the configuration, size, design, and access of the proposed Project complies with the
17.36.060 of the IMC, and the City’s congestion management plan (IMC, Chapter 17.68).
The City’s Engineering Department determined that the Project’s circulation pattern is in conformance with local, state, and federal regulations regarding circulation and traffic pattern design. Furthermore, there is adequate circulation around the Project site and the parking lot, thereby avoiding any potential traffic impacts such as congestion and/or vehicle stacking.
Architecture:
The new building is designed with a contemporary industrial aesthetic, utilizing a tilt-up panel construction technique. This method not only ensures structural integrity but also provides a sleek and modern appearance that is both functional and visually appealing.
The exterior incorporates a sophisticated color palette of earth tones. The tilt-up concrete panels are finished in a soft off-white color with a tinge of green-gray undertone with accents of warm olive-infused gray with earthy undertones, and deep warm taupe with brown undertones creating a clean and uniform appearance. Horizontal windows are strategically placed on each side of the building, providing natural light and ventilation while maintaining the building’s streamlined appearance.
The main entrance is located on the northeast corner of the building and features a prominent
entry design with expansive windows that allow natural light to illuminate the lobby area, creating a welcoming and airy atmosphere. Above the windows the entrance will have horizontal panels painted in deep warm taupe with brown undertones to create a wooden façade look. Incorporated into the entrance design is an ADA-compliant ramp, ensuring accessibility for all individuals.
Incorporated into the warehouse design are modern office and support spaces. These areas include administrative offices, meeting rooms, and employee break rooms, all designed with ergonomic and aesthetic considerations. The new warehouse building includes 24 loading docks, to streamline the process of loading and unloading goods. These docks are equipped with high-efficiency dock levelers and bumpers to ensure smooth operations and minimize damage to the building or goods.
Design Review Findings
Pursuant to Section 17.36.070 of the IMC, the City Council must make the following findings in order to approve an application for a development plan. a. The site is suitable for development in accordance with the development plan.
The site is suitable for development in accordance with the development plan in that the project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code and all applicable development standards outlined in 17.36.060 of the IMC. This includes setbacks, building height, parking, and landscape standards. Further, pursuant to the provisions of the General Plan, industrial uses are permitted in the Employment land use designation, and the project does not conflict with the established goals and objectives of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The Project consists of the demolition of an existing industrial building totaling 28,928 square feet, and construction of a new 86,620 square foot industrial building. b. The total development is arranged so as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety, and general welfare, or prevent adverse effects upon neighboring properties.
The total development is arranged to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety, and general welfare, or prevent adverse effects upon neighboring properties, because it has been designed to minimize any potential impacts by complying with the IMC.
The IMC requires all driveways and drive-aisles to be a minimum of 26 feet in width.
The existing improvements consist of single forty-foot (40’) wide driveway off Azusa Road and two (2) forty-foot (40’) wide driveways off Chestnut Street. Per the Standard of Review and development guidelines (IMC §17.36.060.N) access requirements, the required minimum driveway width is 26-feet. Also, the proposed interior drive aisles range between 26 - 30 feet wide throughout the Project site, therefore meeting and exceeding the City’s required minimum drive aisle width.
The Project site has been designed to avoid any potential traffic impacts such as congestion, stacking, or spillage onto City streets. Furthermore, conditions of approval are incorporated to prevent the Project from having any adverse effects upon the public health, safety, and general welfare of neighboring properties. Conditions of Approval include a requirement to
comply with the Los Angeles County Noise Ordinance regarding hours permitted for construction, compliance with the standards set for in the California Building Code, standards and requirements from the City’s Public Works/Engineering Department, Los Angeles County Regional Water Quality Control Board, and South Coast Air Quality Management District. c. The development is in general accord with all elements of this title.
The development is in general accord with all elements of the City’s Zoning Code because the Project complies with all development standards regarding building setbacks, building height, parking, access, screening, and design. The setbacks will remain within zoning limitations. Pursuant to Section 17.32.040 of the IMC, building setbacks are required to be a minimum of 30-feet from the curb line of any street (Azusa Avenue) or highway to the building, whether the street is improved or not. The proposed building expansion is setback 75 feet from Azusa Avenue to the west and 35 feet from the Union Pacific Railroad Line to the south. Therefore, it exceeds the City’s minimum required setback distance.
The Project complies with the maximum building height of 150-feet. The proposed building is 41-feet high. The Project complies with the City’s minimum parking requirement. In accordance with Section 17.36.060.K.1 of the IMC, the Project requires 150 spaces plus 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, in excess of 100,000 square feet, which equates to 712 total parking spaces. The Project site has a total of 885 parking spaces. The Project also meets the City’s access requirements by providing three separate driveways used for both entrance and exit of vehicles greater than 26-feet; each driveway is 40-feet wide, with all drive-aisles being a minimum of 26-feet wide within the property. The Property will be adequately screened because the existing mature hedges and the mature trees along Azusa Avenue and because of the grade change that occurs on Azusa Avenue which makes the proposed building sit higher and out of view, thereby reducing the visual impact from the public right of way. Pursuant to Section 17.36.060.Q of the IMC, 12 percent of the subject parcel must be landscaped, which is 168,498 square feet for the Project site, and the Applicant is providing 168,500 square feet of landscaping, thereby exceeding the requirement. The building will be designed to be similar in scale and massing to adjacent development and will establish a smooth transition between uses. d. The development is consistent with the provisions of the general plan.
The proposed building is consistent with the Employment land use designation set forth in the City’s General Plan. Permissible land uses in the Employment land use designation include such uses as distribution, warehouses, storage, and supporting ancillary uses. Additionally, the Project is consistent with General Plan Policy LU5 which provides that the City should provide “[h]igh quality and well-maintained properties, buildings, and infrastructure that enhance property values and encourage additional public and private investment”. The Project will provide a new building that is of high architectural design, along with new infrastructure that will enhance the property value due to the increase in square footage. New buildings, additions, and other structures require an appraisal from the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office. The value of new construction is added to the existing improvement assessed value. Also, the new building is consistent with Policy LU2-6, which states the City should “[s]upport the use of energy-saving designs and equipment in all new development and rehabilitation or reconstruction Projects” because the new building will be solar ready, it is of an energy saving design.
Environmental Analysis:
In accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, this Project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to Section 15332 (Class 32 Infill development projects). Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described below.
a. The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

The proposed development is in the City, and is surrounded by urban uses to the north, south, east, and west. The Property is bordered by the Union Pacific Railroad to the south, Azusa Avenue and warehouse uses to the east, west, and north. While the Project is located on a 32.23-acre property, the actual construction or disturbed area is 4.9 acres, and therefore qualifies for an infill exemption.
c. The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.
Pursuant to the General Plan, Resource Management Element, Section 3.1, since the City is urbanized and built out, it does not contain “significant biological resources.” Consistent with the observation made in the General Plan, the Project site is developed with two existing industrial buildings and was therefore previously disturbed. Given the built out nature of the site, and the fact that the site is surrounded by developed, industrial uses, the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and does not contain any endangered habitat Furthermore, no areas of the City are within an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan as stated in the Resource Management Element of the General Plan.
d. Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
• Traffic – Less than significant traffic impacts are anticipated because the proposed development does not exceed the City’s adopted VMT baseline and thresholds of significance and was screened out from further traffic analysis. • Noise – There will be less than significant impacts to noise because the proposed Project is located in an urbanized, industrial area that currently generates noise from traffic, roads, and the surrounding industrial businesses; therefore, the impacts to noise will be negligible and not be any more significant than what the area already produces. Potential noise impacts will be further mitigated by the Los Angeles County Noise Ordinance and through the implementation of best management practices required for construction.
Also, conditions of approval will be attached (Exhibit E) requiring the Applicant, property owner, construction contractors, and business owners to comply with the Los Angeles County Noise Ordinance (Los Angeles County Code, Section 2.08.390). • Air Quality – There will be less than significant impacts to air quality because the temporary construction and post construction operations will not exceed the threshold of significance and will be conditioned (in the attached conditions of approval) that the Applicant, property owner, construction contractors, and business owners will be required to comply with the requirements of the California State Building Code, all State and Federal standards regarding air quality, and the City’s General Plan and Municipal Code. • Water Quality – There will be less than significant impacts to water quality because the Project will comply with all requirements set forth by the Los Angeles County Regional Water Quality Control Board and Best Management Practices (BMPs). Also, the Project is required to have an approved Low Impact Development (LID) plan and Water Quality Management Plan approved by the Engineering Department in order to construct, which has already received said approval.
e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services The Project site is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan. All roads and utilities exist and are maintained by the City and the respective utility entities and have served the industrial use at the Property for many years and are suitable for the construction of the new building.
In conclusion, the proposed Project has been reviewed for consistency with the requirements of the CEQA guidelines. Staff has determined that the Project is exempt pursuant to Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) for the reasons described above.
Fiscal Impact:
Development of the Project will generate revenues to the City in the form of building permit fees to defray plan check and inspection costs, as well as additional property tax revenue.
Recommendation:
Because the Project complies with the development standards of the IMC, does not pose a significant impact on the environment, and satisfies the required findings outlined in Resolution No. CC 2026-11. These will also cover any restrictions as denoted in the final set of conditions of approve as provided by the subject site. Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. CC 2026-11 approving Development Plan No. 23-05, with the Standard Requirements and Conditions of Approval contained in the Resolution, and Notice of Exemption regarding same.

Categorical Exemption. State type and section number: 15332 (Class 32)_____________ Statutory Exemptions. State code number:_____________________________________ Reasons why project is exempt: The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements to prepare additional environmental documentation per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15332, Class 32 (In-fill development Projects). The Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described below.
(a) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.
The project is consistent with the general plan designation and regulations. The permissible land uses in the Employment land use designation include such uses as distribution, warehouses, storage, and supporting ancillary uses. Additionally, the Project is consistent with General Plan Policy LU5 that states the City should provide “[h]igh quality and well-maintained properties, buildings, and infrastructure that enhance property values and encourage additional public and private investment.” The Project will provide a new building that is of high architectural design, along with new infrastructure that will enhance the property value due to the increase in square footage. Also, the new building is consistent with Policy LU2-6, which states the City should “[s]upport the use of energy-saving designs and equipment in all new development and rehabilitation or reconstruction Projects” because the new building will be solar ready, it is of an energy saving design.
(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres surrounded by urban uses.
The proposed development is in the City, and is surrounded by urban uses to the north, south, east, and west. The Property is bordered by the Union Pacific Railroad to the south, Azusa Avenue and warehouse uses to the east, west, and north. While the Project is located on a 32.23-acre property, the actual construction or disturbed area is 4.9 acres, and therefore qualifies for an infill exemption.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.
Pursuant to the General Plan, Resource Management Element, Section 3.1, since the City is urbanized and built out, it does not contain “significant biological resources.” Consistent with the observation made in the General Plan, the Project site is developed with two existing industrial buildings and was therefore previously disturbed. Given the built out nature of the site, and the fact that the site is surrounded by developed, industrial uses, the Project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and does not contain any endangered habitat Furthermore, no areas of the City are within an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan as stated in the Resource Management Element of the General Plan. (d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
Traffic – Less than significant traffic impacts are anticipated because the proposed development does not exceed the City’s adopted VMT baseline and thresholds of significance and was screened out from further traffic analysis.
Noise – There will be less than significant impacts to noise because the proposed Project is located in an urbanized, industrial area that currently generates noise from traffic, roads, and the surrounding industrial businesses; therefore, the impacts to noise will be negligible and not be any more significant than what the area already produces. Potential noise impacts will be further mitigated by the Los Angeles County Noise Ordinance and through the implementation of best management practices required for construction. Also, conditions of approval will be attached (Exhibit E) requiring the Applicant, property owner, construction contractors, and business owners to comply with the Los Angeles County Noise Ordinance (Los Angeles County Code, Section
2.08.390).
Air Quality – There will be less than significant impacts to air quality because the temporary construction and post construction operations will not exceed the threshold of significance and will be conditioned (in the attached conditions of approval) that the Applicant, property owner, construction contractors, and business owners will be required to comply with the requirements of the California State Building Code, all State and Federal standards regarding air quality, and the City’s General Plan and Municipal Code.
Water Quality – There will be less than significant impacts to water quality because the Project will comply with all requirements set forth by the Los Angeles County Regional Water Quality Control Board and Best Management Practices (BMPs). Also, the Project is required to have an approved Low impact Development (LID) plan and Water Quality Management Plan approved by the Engineering Department in order to construct, which has already received said approval. (e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The Project site is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for
maximum development permissible in the General Plan. All roads and utilities exist and are maintained by the City and the respective utility entities and have served the industrial use at the Property for many years and are suitable for the construction of the new building.

Also, the Project is required to have an approved Low Impact Development (LID) plan and Water Quality Management Plan approved by the Engineering Department in order to construct, which has already received said approval.
e. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
The Project site is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the General Plan. All roads and utilities exist and are maintained by the City and the respective utility entities and have served the industrial use at the Property for many years and are suitable for the construction of the new building.
SECTION 4: Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the June 11, 2026 public meeting, including public testimony, and written and oral staff reports, and which includes without limitation, CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Municipal Code, the City Council finds as follows:
a. The site is suitable for development in accordance with the development plan.
The site is suitable for development in accordance with the development plan in that the project is in conformance with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code and all applicable development standards outlined in Section 17.36.060 of the IMC. This includes setbacks, building height, parking, and landscape standards. Further, pursuant to the provisions of the General Plan, industrial uses are permitted in the Employment land use designation, and the project does not conflict with the established goals and objectives of the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The Project consists of the demolition of an existing industrial building totaling 28,928 square feet, and construction of a new 86,620 square foot industrial building.
b. The total development is arranged so as to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety, and general welfare, or prevent adverse effects upon neighboring The total development is arranged to avoid traffic congestion, ensure the public health, safety, and general welfare, or prevent adverse effects upon neighboring properties, because it has been designed to minimize any potential impacts by complying with the IMC. The IMC requires all driveways and drive-aisles to be a minimum of 26 feet in width.
The existing improvements consist of single forty-foot (40’) wide driveway off Azusa Road and two (2) forty-foot (40’) wide driveways off Chestnut Street. Per the Standard of Review and development guidelines (IMC §17.36.060.N) access requirements, the required minimum driveway width is 26-feet. Also, the proposed interior drive aisles range between 26 - 30 feet wide throughout the Project site, therefore meeting and exceeding the City’s required minimum drive aisle width.
The Project site has been designed to avoid any potential traffic impacts such as
Resolution No. CC 2026-11
DP No. 23-05
congestion, stacking, or spillage onto City streets. Furthermore, conditions of approval are incorporated to prevent the Project from having any adverse effects upon the public health, safety, and general welfare of neighboring properties. Conditions of Approval include a requirement to comply with the Los Angeles County Noise Ordinance regarding hours permitted for construction, compliance with the standards set for in the California Building Code, standards and requirements from the City’s Public Works/Engineering Department, Los Angeles County Regional Water Quality Control Board, and South Coast Air Quality Management District.
c. The development is in general accord with all elements of this title.
The development is in general accord with all elements of the City’s Zoning Code because the Project complies with all development standards regarding building setbacks, building height, parking, access, screening, and design. The setbacks will remain within zoning limitations. Pursuant to Section 17.32.040 of the IMC, building setbacks are required to be a minimum of 30-feet from the curb line of any street (Azusa Avenue) or highway to the building, whether the street is improved or not. The proposed building expansion is setback 75 feet from Azusa Avenue to the west and 35 feet from the Union Pacific Railroad Line to the south. Therefore, it exceeds the City’s minimum required setback distance.
The Project complies with the maximum building height of 150-feet. The proposed building is 41-feet high. The Project complies with the City’s minimum parking requirement. In accordance with 17.36.060.K.1 of the IMC, the Project requires 150 spaces plus 1 space per 1,000 square feet of floor area, in excess of 100,000 square feet, which equates to 712 total parking spaces. The Project site has a total of 885 parking spaces. The Project also meets the City’s access requirements by providing three separate driveways used for both entrance and exit of vehicles greater than 26-feet; each driveway is 40-feet wide, with all drive-aisles being a minimum of 26-feet wide within the property. The Property will be adequately screened because the existing mature hedges and the mature trees along Azusa Avenue and because of the grade change that occurs on Azusa Avenue which makes the proposed building sit higher and out of view, thereby reducing the visual impact from the public right of way. Pursuant to Section 17.36.060.Q of the IMC, 12 percent of the subject parcel must be landscaped, which is 168,498 square feet for the Project site, and the Applicant is providing 168,500 square feet of landscaping, thereby exceeding the requirement. The building will be designed to be similar in scale and massing to adjacent development and will establish a smooth transition between uses. d. The development is consistent with the provisions of the general plan.
The proposed building is consistent with the Employment land use designation set forth in the City’s General Plan. Permissible land uses in the Employment land use designation include such uses as distribution, warehouses, storage, and supporting ancillary uses.
Additionally, the Project is consistent with General Plan Policy LU5 which provides that the City should provide “[h]igh quality and well-maintained properties, buildings, and infrastructure that enhance property values and encourage additional public and private investment”. The Project will provide a new building that is of high architectural design, along with new infrastructure that will enhance the property value due to the increase in square footage. New buildings, additions, and other structures require an appraisal from
Resolution No. CC 2026-11
DP No. 23-05
the Los Angeles County Assessor’s office. The value of new construction is added to the existing improvement assessed value. Also, the new building is consistent with Policy LU2-6, which states the City should “[s]upport the use of energy-saving designs and equipment in all new development and rehabilitation or reconstruction Projects” because the new building will be solar ready, it is of an energy saving design.
SECTION 5: Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the Notice of Exemption and directs Staff to file same as required by law, and approves Development Plan No. 23-05, subject to the Conditions of Approval, attached hereto as Attachment 1, and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 6: The provisions of this Resolution are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional, or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality, or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, clauses, sentences, sections, words or parts thereof of the Resolution or their applicability to other persons or circumstances.

END OF CONDITIONS
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joshua Nelson, City Manager
STAFF: Yamini Pathak, Finance Director
DATE: June 11, 2026
SUBJECT:
Consideration of Resolution No. CC 2026-14 - a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Industry, California, rescinding Resolution No. CC 2025-18 and adopting Salary Range Schedules for City Employees and City Elected and Appointed Officials for Fiscal Year 2026-2027
Background:
The proposed Salary Schedule for all employees for the upcoming fiscal year is taken annually to Council to consider and adopt along with the next fiscal year budget. The Salary Schedule is updated annually to reflect: any new positions added or deleted for the fiscal year, any Cost of Living Adjustments (“COLA”) to Staff salaries positions, and/or any adjustments to wages for any position. As such, the Fiscal Year 2026-27 (“FY 27”) proposed Salary Schedule is being presented to Council for consideration.
Discussion:
For FY27, Staff is proposing a three and a half percent COLA for City employees. When changes are made to positions and wages, the City Council must approve and update these changes in the City’s Salary Schedule. Since the majority of position and salary-related modifications coincide with the budget adoption, the Salary Schedule is typically taken for approval along with the budget. As such, the FY 27 Proposed Salary Schedule reflects the following:
• COLA Salary Increases– One good sign for the overall economy is when there is a year-over-year increase in the region’s Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (“CPI-U”). The CPI-U increase from March 2025 - March 2026 in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim region is three and a half percent. Accordingly, CPI-based COLA is being proposed for all employees at three and a half percent. • Personnel Changes – Three part-time positions have been removed from the Salary Schedule, namely Public Safety Coordinator, Public Safety Manager, and Special Project
Manager. Additionally, the Development and Administrative Services Manager position (full-time) has been removed. A full-time Development Services Director was added.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 3502.3, the City Council considered the status of vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts during a public hearing at the June 11, 2025 meeting, prior to adopting the final budget. During Fiscal Year 2025-2026, there were three (3) vacant part-time positions, including Public Safety Manager, Public Safety Coordinator, and Administrative Technician I. All of these positions were budgeted, to enable the addition of Staff, if needed. However, the City managed the workload during the fiscal year without needing to fill the positions and, therefore, the positions remained vacant. No policies, procedures, or recruitment activities lead to obstacles in the hiring process; therefore, no changes are necessary or recommended. The City does not have any recognized employee organization or bargaining units, but all employees were entitled to make a presentation at the public hearing.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of the FY 27 proposed Salary Schedule, as the proposed COLA increase is included in the FY 27 Budget. The FY 27 proposed Salary Schedule is available on the City’s website, and in hard copy at City Hall.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution CC 2026-14, adopting the City of Industry’s FY 2026-27 Salary Schedule, in line with the FY 27 Adopted Budget Exhibits:
1. COI CC Resolution FY 27 Salary Schedule Resolution
2. City of Industry Salary Schedule - FY 26-27

The COLA increase is consistent with the published consumer price index-urban (“CPI-U”) year-over-year increase of three and a half percent from March 2025 to March 2026 for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim region; and WHEREAS, it is necessary to adopt a Salary Range Schedule for FY 27 to demonstrate the COLA increase for the aforementioned City Employees; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 3502.3, the City Council considered the status of vacancies, recruitment and retention efforts at the June 11, 2026 meeting, prior to adopting the final budget. During Fiscal Year 2025-2026, there were three (3) vacant part-time positions, including Public Safety Manager, Public Safety Coordinator, and Administrative Technician I. All of these positions were budgeted, to enable the addition of Staff, if needed. However, the City managed the workload during the fiscal year without needing to fill the positions and, therefore, the positions remained vacant.
