SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION TO RECIEVE COMMENTS ON THE
PROPOSED DRAFT GENERAL PLAN 2045
SUMMARY
In February 2025 the City Council received a copy of the draft General Plan 2045 to review. Staff and the general plan 2045 consultant MIG are returning to have a study session to receive any comments or questions from the City Council on the draft general plan 2045.
Concurrent with the preparation of the General Plan 2045, staff and MIG are also preparing “Implementation Zoning”. This zoning is required by the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as part of the certification process for the housing element as well as to implement new general plan land use categories. HCD has stated that they will only certify the new housing element if the implementation zoning is adopted concurrently with the general plan 2045. The revised zoning principally modifies development standards, review procedures and creates new objective design standards facilitating residential development. It also rezones specific sites identified in the housing element providing sufficient capacity to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) number of 1004 low income units.
A similar study session was held before the Planning Commission on April 23, 2025.

On the topic of homelessness, he explained that recent legal changes limit the City’s actions. In addition, he stated that the City is discussing the possibility of a tiny home community.

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON AMENDING CHAPTER 15 OF THE COMPTON MUNICIPAL CODE
(CONSTRUCTION CODES) TO ESTABLISH PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
FOR LARGE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND DISCLOSURE OF
LABOR VIOLATIONS
SUMMARY
This staff report recommends adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 15 of the Compton Municipal Code to include Section 15-26, which requires Contractors and Subcontractors on large-scale construction projects to obtain a permit and disclose any recent labor violations.
These requirements are intended to promote public confidence in the construction permitting process, prevent wage theft and exploitation, and maintain quality assurance throughout development.
BACKGROUND
The City of Compton has adopted by reference the 2019 California Building Standards Code and has codified these under Chapter 15 of the Compton Municipal Code. While the current Code establishes building regulations and permit requirements, it does not include provisions that explicitly require labor violation disclosures for contractors and subcontractors on large-scale projects.
The proposed Ordinance will apply to development projects involving twenty (20) or more residential dwelling units or over 20,000 square feet of commercial or industrial floor area.
The proposed ordinance will require all contractors and subcontractors on qualifying projects to obtain a permit from the City. Full disclosure of any state or federal labor violations within the past five (5) years, including penalties paid will need to be disclosed.
The proposed ordinance will authorize the City Manager, or his delegate to develop and implement administrative regulations to enforce Section 15-26 of the Compton Municipal Code.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Cities throughout the region are adopting ordinances that promote labor transparency and accountability to ensure that development projects adhere to fair and safe labor
4. Staff Report – Ordinance to Require Contractors to Apply for a permit for Certain Large Projects May 27, 2025
standards. By requiring disclosure of recent labor violations, the City can take proactive measures to ensure public safety, reduce risk, and encourage ethical development practices.
The proposed Ordinance will support the establishment for changes to personnel and or contractor teams post-approval. This proposed Ordinance will outline enforcement tools including “Stop Work Orders,” permit revocation and administrative fines.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City may experience increased administrative and inspection costs due to the implementation of the ordinance. These may be offset by the additional permit fees and fines collected through enforcement.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed Ordinance. Staff recommends upon adoptions of the Ordinance that contractors and developers be contacted for education pertaining to the Ordinance.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AMENDING CHAPTER 15 OF THE COMPTON
MUNICIPAL CODE (CONSTRUCTION CODES) TO
ESTABLISH PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR LARGE
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AND DISCLOSURE OF
LABOR VIOLATIONS
WHEREAS, the City of Compton seeks to enhance transparency, accountability, and labor compliance in development projects throughout the City; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that requiring contractors and subcontractors to disclose any state or federal labor violations related to certain large-scale construction projects will support safe, fair labor practices and promote public trust; and WHEREAS, the 2019 California Building Standards Code and related construction codes have been adopted and amended as Chapter 15 of the Compton Municipal Code; and

(b) For each Contractor and Subcontractor on the list provided in paragraph (a) above, the applicant shall provide a disclosure of any pending or final determinations pertaining to state or federal labor violations and any penalties paid to any government agencies related to such violations within the prior five (5) years from the date of the application for each Contractor and Subcontractors on the Project. If the applicant is the Contractor or Subcontractor, they shall provide this disclosure for themselves on the application as required herein.
15-26.5 - Permit: Amendment or Changes
(a) If at any time after the Permit is issued and a change occurs in any information submitted to the City pursuant to this Chapter, the Permittee shall submit updated information to the City within three business days of the Permittee acquiring knowledge of such change.
Resolution___________
(b) If the Permittee is a Contractor that hires a new Subcontractor after the issuance of their Permit, the Contractor shall within three business days of such hiring, either update the information submitted to the City pursuant to this Chapter to include the information regarding the Subcontractor, or require the Subcontractor to obtain a permit under this Chapter.

(3) The Permit applicant paying a penalty for default to the City in an amount equal to the original Permit fee for each violation to defray City costs of enforcement of this Chapter; or

Such administrative procedures, regulations and guidelines shall be posted at City Hall or on the City’s website or made available by the City when so adopted.” 15-26.9 - California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Consistency: CEQA primarily addresses the environmental impact of physical projects.
The ordinance itself is administrative in nature—it amends the permitting process and imposes labor-related disclosure requirements. As such, it likely qualifies as a CEQAexempt action under the “general rule” (14 CCR §15061(b)(3)) or a categorical exemption for administrative activities.
Section 3. SEVERABILITY
