STAFF REPORT
Date: March 17, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Shelley Preisler, City Attorney
Subject: Adoption of Ordinance No. 766 Adding Chapter 1.25 “PROCEDURES

CONCERNING SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND PROHIBITION OF THE USE OF CITY RESOURCES FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT” to Title 1 of the Cudahy Municipal Code

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to waive the full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 766, adding Chapter 1.25 “PROCEDURES CONCERNING SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND PROHIBITION OF THE USE OF CITY RESOURCES FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT” to Title 1 of the City of Cudahy Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND
At the February 3, 2026 regular City Council Meeting, City Council requested agenda items including an ordinance related to the California Values Act (Senate Bill 54 (2017)) which would require the City’s contractors to disclose any contracts with federal immigration authorities. At the February 17, 2026 regular City Council Meeting:
• Staff provided Draft Ordinance No. 766, which consolidated two ordinances provided by members of the City Council relating to protections for residents in matters involving immigration authorities.
• City Council discussed Draft Ordinance No. 766, provided feedback on the proposed language, and provided direction regarding revisions.

ANALYSIS
Staff revised Ordinance No. 766 according to the direction provided by City Council at the February 17, 2026 City Council Meeting, and to account for legal limitations. The revisions incorporated following the February 17, 2026 City Council Meeting are shown in Attachment B, and include but are not limited to:

Item Number
12A

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
03/17/2026 Page 2 of 4

• Separating the consolidated ordinance:
o The version of Draft Ordinance No. 766 brought at the February 17, 2026 meeting combined two ordinances: (i) an ordinance restricting the use of City resources in relation to immigration enforcement, protection of residents’ confidential information from disclosure, and reporting by city vendors on data sharing; and (ii) an ordinance pertaining to law enforcement services funded by the City, including requests for reporting on federal immigration enforcement activities and complaints of constitutional violations (“Law Enforcement Ordinance”).
o At the February 17, 2026 City Council meeting, City Council directed staff to separate the consolidated draft, and provided that additional language and direction would be provided to draft a separate Law Enforcement Ordinance. o Staff removed provisions of Draft Ordinance No. 766 related to the Law Enforcement Ordinance, which will be brought back as a separate ordinance upon receipt of further language and direction from City Council. • Addressing specific gaps:
o The staff report for Draft Ordinance No. 766 from the February 17, 2026 meeting, attached hereto as Attachment C, listed seven (7) specific questions for City Council.
o City Council’s direction for these questions has been incorporated in the updated Draft Ordinance No. 766. Specifically:
 Clarification on which City commission should be referenced under D of the “Definitions.”
• Removal of the reference to commission per Council’s direction that functions should be kept at the staff level.
 Discussion whether the City Council accepts the additional definitions of “Contractor” and “Constitutional Compliance.”
• City Council directed staff to use existing definitions of “Contractor” in the City’s Municipal Code, which would be inclusive of parties contracting to provide City services by Request for Proposal, ongoing service agreements, and providers of professional services, but that would not include individuals assenting to City contracts to participate in City activities or programs. Staff reviewed the Municipal Code and did not find a definition meeting these parameters, thus creating a new definition.
• As “Constitutional Compliance” is a topic contemplated by the Law Enforcement Ordinance, this defined term has been
removed based on City Council direction to separate the consolidated ordinances.
 Which department will be the “Designated Administrative Agency”? • As directed by City Council, “Designated Administrative Agency” is defined as the City Clerk and City Manager Offices and their

Page 8 of 237 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
03/17/2026 Page 3 of 4

designees, working under the direction of the City Manager.  “Extreme Vetting” is defined but never used in the ordinance, can we remove?
• The term “Extreme Vetting” has been removed per City Council direction.
 “Vendors” are used in subsection D of the “Confidentiality of Sensitive Information” section, are we adding this as a defined term? Can this be replaced by “Company”?
• The term “Vendors” has been replaced with the defined term “Company” per City Council direction.
 Expansion to “Constitutional Compliance” section that can be included in the municipal code based on direction.
• As “Constitutional Compliance” is a topic contemplated by the Law Enforcement Ordinance, this defined term and ordinance section have been removed based on City Council direction to separate the consolidated ordinances.
 Expansion and explanation of purpose of DAA, training for DAA, how will they be reviewing information reported to them? How many staff members?
• City Council discussed but did not provide direction. The definition of DAA allows for the City Manager to implement training and procedures on the DAA, and provides flexibility to designate additional staff members if needed in the future.

CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that City Council waive the full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 766, adding Chapter 1.25 “PROCEDURES CONCERNING SENSITIVE

INFORMATION AND PROHIBITION OF THE USE OF CITY RESOURCES FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT” to Title 1 of the City of Cudahy Municipal Code.

STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
No correlation to the strategic plan.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
As Ordinance No. 766 proposes the use of existing staff and resources, there is no expected impact to the General Fund. However, potential financial impacts could arise in the future if: (i) additional staff must be hired to perform DAA functions; (ii) additional training is needed to allow for existing or new staff to perform DAA functions; and (iii) existing vendors opt to terminate contracts with the City in light of new reporting obligations, requiring new procurement, potentially resulting in different payment terms.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 17, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: City Attorney’s Office
Subject: A Public Hearing to Consider Resolution No. 26-04 Censuring Councilmember Martin Fuentes

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Cudahy:

1. Open a public hearing;

2. Receive public testimony on Resolution No. 26-04; and

3. Consider adopting Resolution No. 26-04, provide alternative direction, or take no action.

BACKGROUND
Following a concern relayed to the City of Cudahy (“City”) regarding Councilmember Martin Fuentes, the City took prompt and remedial action by retaining an independent investigator to conduct a confidential investigation. After interviewing witnesses and Councilmember Fuentes, and after reviewing evidence provided, the investigator determined there was sufficient evidence to sustain two of three allegations regarding Councilmember Fuentes. The investigator detailed their analysis and findings in a written report, which remains attorneyclient privileged.

After discussing the report findings and sustained allegations in closed session, with Councilmember Fuentes not participating, the City Council determined that Councilmember Fuentes’ actions amounted to violations of the City Code of Ethics and Conduct and the City’s Personnel Rules and Regulations. The City Council then directed the City Attorney Office to draft and present this Resolution to consider Censure and potential sanctions against Councilmember Fuentes for violations of City policies and related misconduct.

Item Number
13A

ANALYSIS
The City Council is reminded that the investigation report remains attorney-client privileged, which can only be waived by a City Council majority vote. No details, including name(s) and the allegations, should be discussed to maintain the attorney-client privilege and to protect witness(es).

A. Censure
Censure is a formal and public expression of disapproval, often used by legislative bodies to reprimand an individual for conduct considered inappropriate or harmful, or a violation of State law or City Policy. Black’s Law Dictionary defines censure as “[a]n official reprimand or condemnation; an authoritative expression of disapproval or blame…” It does not remove the individual from their positions but serves as a public rebuke.

A censure is distinct from any civil or criminal liability that may arise from councilmember conduct. It is a constitutionally protected act of expression by a legislative body, and courts have recognized that elected officials, such as councilmembers, have a First Amendment right to express their views through censure resolutions.

A censure hearing is not a judicial proceeding and is not subject to formal rules of evidence, cross-examination, or admissibility of evidence. The censure may also be a written reprimand and may impose limited disciplinary actions, known as sanctions, so long as they do not prevent the elected official from performing the core functions of office or restrict the member’s opportunities to speak, such as his/her opportunity to deliberate on the dais and/or speak to the public.

B. Due Process
Absent specific City policies and procedures governing censure, as is the case with the City of Cudahy, general due process principles apply. At minimum, due process requires notice and an opportunity to refute the charges.

Before a censure can be formally adopted by resolution, the City Council is required to give notice to the affected mayor or councilmember of the allegations made against him/her and the date of the public hearing. The City Council will then hold a public hearing in open session where the accused councilmember will have an opportunity to be heard, present evidence and respond to the charges against him/her.

Consistent with these requirements, Councilmember Fuentes was provided written notice of the public hearing on March 5, 2026, and is being afforded an opportunity to be heard and refute any charges at this duly noticed public hearing. To ensure the Councilmemberis afforded

Page 28 of 237 ends

“Serving The People” "Sirviendo A La Comunidad"
Staff Report
03/17/2026 Page 3 of 3

due process, this procedure is recommended for the public hearing:
• The Mayor will open the hearing.
• Councilmember Fuentes will be invited to present oral and/or written evidence in response to the censure request. This presentation shall not exceed ten (10) minutes. • The Mayor will invite members of the public to speak. The public will be provided with three (3) minutes for each speaker, unless the Mayor establishes a different time period.
• Any Councilmember may then ask questions.
• Councilmember Fuentes will be invited to make final comments, which may address a public comment or questions from the Council. Final comments shall not exceed five (5) minutes.
• The Mayor will close the public hearing. No additional evidence may be presented after the hearing is closed, unless the Mayor reopens the public hearing. • The City Council may discuss the matter.

At that time, except for Councilmember Fuentes, any Councilmember who wishes to make a motion may do so. The primary options for a motion include (a) take no action, (b) decline to impose a censure and sanction(s), (c) impose a censure or sanction(s), or (d) impose both a censure and sanction(s). Subject to a second, any motion made should be deliberated and, upon the completion of deliberations, a vote should be taken. It is recommended that Councilmember Fuentes abstain from the discussion and any Council decision because of the legal principle that no person may serve as a judge in their own case.

WHEREAS, public officials have the authority to censure an individual member of a legislative body (Braun v. City of Taft (1984) 154 Cal.App.3d 332, 347-348); and WHEREAS, a censure is one approach of distancing the public agency from inappropriate behaviors that interfere with the agency’s ability to conduct the public’s business and protect its employees and the public; and
WHEREAS, following a concern relayed to the City of Cudahy (“City”) regarding Councilmember Martin Fuentes, the City took prompt and remedial action by retaining the services of an independent investigator to conduct a confidential investigation of allegations regarding Councilmember Martin Fuentes; and WHEREAS, the investigator sustained two of three allegations regarding Councilmember Fuentes that were the subject of the investigation; and WHEREAS, at the direction of City Council, the City Clerk placed this Resolution on the March 17, 2026 regular City Council agenda, to address misconduct by Councilmember Martin Fuentes; and
WHEREAS, the impetus to censure Councilmember Fuentes is based on the investigation findings; and
WHEREAS, Councilmember Fuentes’ behavior is inconsistent with the City’s values and policies; and
WHEREAS, the City Council considered this resolution of censure at an open public meeting held on March 17, 2026, listed as agenda item no. 13A; and WHEREAS, at the meeting, Councilmember Fuentes was given an opportunity to be heard prior to a vote on the censure.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 17, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Juan Arauz, AICP, Assistant City Manager / Community Development Director Kassandra Cornejo, Assistant Planner
Subject: Consideration To Approve The 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report and 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report Required by The State of California, Reporting Period January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to take the following action(s):

1. Adopt Resolution No. 26-05 (Attachment A) approving the 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR); and

2. Authorize staff to file the 2025 Annual Progress Report with the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 65400 mandates that each City and County planning agency prepare an annual report on the status and progress in implementation of their General Plan and Housing Elements. These annual reports—the General Plan Annual Progress Report and Housing Element Annual Progress Report (“APR”)—are required to be submitted to the State’s Governor’s Office of Land Use & Climate Innovation (“LCI”) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) by April 1st of each year for the prior calendar year. The local governing body must also review the reports. The APR provides local legislative bodies with information to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the 12-month reporting period. More specifically, the APR explains how land use decisions relate to adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan. The APR will also provide enough information to identify necessary "course adjustments" or modifications to the General Plan and means to improve local implementation.

LCI uses the General Plan APR to help identify how local planning activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. For the Housing Element APR, HCD provides a standard template that cities complete to fulfill statutory requirements for reporting on housing information – including housing production and affordability, implementation of Housing Element programs, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing. Most notably, the Housing Element APR includes a tabulation of the City’s progress toward the eightyear Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) allocation, which is further detailed later in this report.

On March 20, 2018, the City Council adopted the 2040 General Plan and the 5th Cycle Housing Element which serves as the City’s comprehensive long-range policy document.

On August 15, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 740 re-adopting the 6th Cycle Housing Element with an effective date of October 5, 2023. The City received Housing Element certification from HCD on November 13, 2023.

On March 16, 2026, the Planning Commission heard a presentation and received a staff report on the Annual Progress Reports. After review by the Planning Commission and City Council, City staff will submit the APRs to HCD and LCI to ensure compliance with the State deadline of April 1, 2026, for the 2025 reporting period. Updated versions of these reports may be submitted to the LCI at any time if any revisions are required.

CUDAHY 2040 GENERAL PLAN APR HIGHLIGHTS
Cudahy General Plan 2040 includes seven (7) State-mandated elements that address Land Use, Circulation, Open Space and Conservation, Safety, Noise, and Housing (updated every eight years), and optional elements such as Air Quality and Economic Development, and environmental justice goals, policies, and objectives integrated between all other elements.

The City of Cudahy’s 2025 (Attachment B) APR was prepared consistently with the recommendations from LCI for review of the reporting periods from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

The scope of the report includes:

1. A summary of the milestones achieved in 2025 relating to the General Plan; and

2. A summary of the progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs; and

3. An overview of the status and progress in implementing the City’s ongoing General Plan implementation measures.

• Awarded a contract services agreement for the Salt Lake Avenue Accessibility Project (CIP # ATP-003) for Kimley-Horn to provide design services. The project involves sidewalk widening along the east side of the street to meet ADA requirements and allow pedestrian activity. In addition, the project includes the installation of pedestrian lighting, wayfinding signage, traffic striping, installation of benches for pedestrians, planting new trees to create shade canopies for pedestrians as well as other miscellaneous items.
• Commenced work on the Citywide-Atlantic Complete Streets Project (CIP # STR003).

The project includes four site improvements to beautify and improve public spaces, deter littering by developing unused lots, and increase access to the LA bike path. The four project areas are the LA River Bike Path, Cudahy River Park, Clara Bridge Slopes, and Otis Avenue Pocket Park.

• Continued to provide residents with a variety of recreational programs including, but not limited to, boxing classes, soccer, flag football, basketball, volleyball, cheer, baseball, softball, Zumba, and cultural classes.
• Continued senior programs to help elderly residents receive support. Services range from transportation services and case management; to the Senior Center at Clara Park’s Turner Hall, providing meals, social and recreational opportunities, and wellness programs.

HOUSING ELEMENT APR (6TH CYCLE)
The Housing Element APR describes the City’s progress toward implementation of the Housing Element programs within the reporting period of 2025. In particular, the report documents how much net new housing development, and at which affordability levels, has occurred during the reporting year. The housing units are tracked by calculating the number of development applications submitted, project entitlements approved, building permits issued, and building permits that received Certificate of Occupancy approval. The APR also includes status updates on the City’s progress in meeting the objectives for each of the numerous programs noted in the Housing Element. The City’s RHNA allocation and progress for the 2021-2029 6th Cycle is shown in the summary tables below, data for which was taken directly from the Housing Element and from “Table B” of the Housing Element APR provided in Attachment C. As identified in Table 2, 164 net new housing units were issued building permits in 2025, to be counted towards the City’s 393-unit allocation for the 6th planning cycle. Including the permits issued since the beginning of the 6th Cycle in 2021, the City has issued permits for 264 units.

TABLE 2 – Cudahy’s 6th Cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Progress Housing units that count toward satisfying the City’s RHNA allocation may only include those for which building permits have been issued. However, the complete Housing Element APR provides a more complete picture of the City’s housing production and progress toward the RHNA allocation within the reporting year by acknowledging housing projects that are still in the construction and development pipeline process (i.e., projects submitted in 2025 that have not yet been approved, or projects that received an entitlement, but have not yet been issued a building permit). Overall, the City continues to make progress beyond what is captured in the RHNA table.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) is a statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible.

CEQA applies to certain activities that affect the environment of state and local public agencies.

A public agency must comply with CEQA when it undertakes an activity defined by CEQA as a "project." A project is an activity undertaken by a public agency or a private activity which must receive some discretionary approval (meaning that the agency has the authority to deny the requested permit or approval) from a government agency, which may cause either a direct physical change or a reasonably foreseeable indirect change in the environment.

The 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report has been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (“CEQA)”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000, et seq.). In conformity with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines, the approval of the General Plan Annual Progress Report is exempt from further CEQA environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15306, Class 6 (Information Collection). “Class 6 consists of basic data collection, research, experimental management, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an Affordability Level Unit Issued

environmental resource. These may be strictly for information gathering purposes, or as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.” This categorical exemption is applicable because the General Plan Annual Progress Report’s sole purpose is to summarize and evaluate the measurable outcomes, actions, and progress associated with the implementation of all the General Plan elements since its adoption on March 20, 2018. Therefore, no additional environmental review is required.

CONCLUSION
If the City Council approves the 2025 Annual Progress Report, it will allow the City to comply with California Government Code Section 65400 which mandates that the City submit an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, LCI, and HCD. The General Plan and Housing Element annual reports describe the City’s ongoing efforts to implement and assess identified goals, policies and objectives in the General Plan and Housing Element. The APR will give LCI and HCD the opportunity to identify statewide trends in land use decision-making and how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. Furthermore, demonstration of ongoing compliance with State required reporting ensures that the City maintains eligibility and competitiveness for ongoing grant funding opportunities that may help to implement General Plan goals and policies.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact, beyond standard staff time, associated with the approval of the General Plan Annual Progress Report.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Executive Summary
The City of Cudahy’s 2025 General Plan Annual Progress Report was prepared by the Planning Division with input from other departments/divisions including the Parks & Recreation Division, Finance Department, City Clerk, Building & Safety Division, Community Preservation Division, and Public Works Department. The Report summarizes the measurable outcomes and actions associated with the implementation of all of the General Plan elements.

Following an extensive outreach program and considerable efforts on behalf of the entire community and City staff, the 2040 General Plan was adopted by the City Council on March 20, 2018. The City added two new elements as part of this General Plan update, an Economic Development Element and an Air Quality Element. Rather than create another new Element, the City integrated Environmental Justice into each Element. The City also took a holistic approach to community health, weaving principles of sustainability into every Element. Adoption included internal consistency with all General Plan elements, including the two new elements, environmental justice, and sustainability. The City also adopted updates to the Development Code and Zoning Map. This report includes a summary of the current status of the General Plan and the 6th Cycle Housing Element (2021-2029), certified by HCD on November 13, 2023.

The City updated demographic and housing information as part of the City’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element Update. The Housing Element update included the 6th cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) projection period of 2021 through 2029. The City’s progress in meeting the Housing Element goals is also provided in the separate Housing Element Report (Appendix B).

The following key efforts were also accomplished in 2025 to implement the current General Plan:
• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The City of Cudahy received a funding allocation of approximately $328,872.00 for the FY 2024-2025 and $301,085 for the FY 2025-2026. In 2025, the City utilized these funds for code enforcement, business assistance, and owner-occupied housing rehabilitation.
• Transit Oriented Development Strategic Implementation Program (TOD SIP) Grant. The City of Cudahy received $160,000 in funds from Metro to create a strategic implementation plan to prepare two Cudahy neighborhoods located within a half-mile radius of new metro stations. The study identified opportunities for residents and businesses to access affordable housing, jobs, and other crucial quality of life elements.

On March 18, 2025, the final plan, Cudahy Together: A Strategic Plan for a Thriving Community, was approved by the City Council.
• Clean California Local Grant Program. In 2021, the City of Cudahy was awarded $4.9 million for the beautification of four key sites along the city's section of the LA River: the

Page 49 of 237 ends

7 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT LA River Bike Path, Cudahy River Park, Clara Bridge Slopes, and Otis Avenue Pocket Park.

In 2025, the project entered the construction phase, with work commencing at all four sites. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2026. • Grant Application and Implementation. The City continues to apply for new grants and implement previously awarded grants. These include circulation and infrastructure improvements (see Section 7, Circulation for more information) funded through the CFP, LRSP, HSIP, HSIP Cycle 11, and ATP Cycle 6 programs.
• Food Distribution. The City continues to provide bi-weekly and monthly units of groceries to residentsin partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. The food distribution primarily occurs at Clara Park, with homebound deliveries to seniors 65 years or older with a qualifying disability.
• Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a shortrange plan, usually five to ten years, which identifies capital projects. The City of Cudahy implemented its CIP Program for Fiscal Year 2022/2027 in 2023. The City also prepared a 2025 update to the CIP Program for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 through 2029/2030, approved by the City Council on February 4, 2025. The CIP update consists of forty-nine (49) projects which are estimated at just above $76 million.
• Shelter Beds with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter. The Salvation Army Bell Shelter is located within the city limits of the City of Bell and the shelter receives unhoused residents from the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) system. The Bell Shelter provides a significant portion of the region’s shelter beds, including the needs of Cudahy. The City of Cudahy has continued its partnership with the Salvation Army Bell Shelter to provide shelter services for residents experiencing homelessness, previously utilizing PLHA funds awarded to the City. The Gateway Cities Council of Governments now funds Bell Shelter through Measure A funding.
• Surplus Land Disposition. In 2025, the City of Cudahy submitted Surplus Land Disposition documentation to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for Site 6. On March 21, 2025, HCD confirmed that the City meets the requirements of the Surplus Land Act and may proceed with property disposal of Successor Agency Site No. 6 located at the northeast corner of Atlantic Avenue and Clara Street. • Senior Housing Project. On February 1, 2022, the City Council approved a modification to Development Review Permit No. 41-539 for a mixed-use affordable Senior Housing Project consisting of 140 units. In 2025, the Applicant applied for grading and building permit plan check with the City and the City reviewed and issued both permits. On September 24, 2025, the Project held a groundbreaking event, and grading work began in late 2025.

Section 65400 and 65700 of the Government Code also requires the City to submit an annual report on the status and progress of implementing the Housing Element of the General Plan. Housing information in compliance with this regulation is provided in this report using the forms and definitions adopted by HCD. This report summarizes the planning activities for the City of Cudahy from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.

The scope of the report includes:

1. An overview of the City’s adopted: 2040 General Plan, 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Housing Element, Amended Development Code, and updated Zoning Map.

2. An overview of the status and progress implementing the City’s ongoing General Plan implementation measures, including changes to the implementation measures as part of the 2040 General Plan.

3. A summary of the City’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs.

The purpose of this report is to inform The Governor’s Office Land Use & Climate Innovation (LCI) and California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) about the status of implementing the 2040 General Plan (adopted March 20, 2018), housing issues, and development in the City. The report should be used to identify what necessary adjustments, if any, should be made to further implement the 2040 General Plan.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT

2.0 General Plan Background
Overview
The General Plan is mandated by California Government Code Section 65300, which requires each city and county to adopt a general plan for the physical development of the jurisdiction. The Cudahy General Plan establishes a vision for the City’s long-term growth and enhancement and provides strategies and actions to achieve this vision. The Plan also conveys the community’s goals and policies to City departments, other agencies, and private developers and establishes a basis for determining if development proposals and public projects are consistent.

The General Plan establishes and prioritizes detailed plans and implementation programs. The Cudahy General Plan serves as the framework for future planning and development in the City.

The Cudahy General Plan provides decision-makers, officials, residents, and developers the direction they need to achieve the long-term planning goals of the City. On March 20, 2018, the City adopted the 2040 General Plan. This update built upon the previous General Plan that was adopted in 2010 which emphasized the maintenance and revitalization of the residential neighborhoods and the improvement of the City’s commercial areas. State law regulates the content of General Plans. Sections 65300-65403 of the California Government Code require that local jurisdictions prepare and adopt a general plan to guide the physical development of the City and its sphere of influence. There are seven mandatory elements, and one non-mandatory element (Economic Development), along with the integration of Environmental Justice and Sustainability into each Element, that comprise the 2040 Cudahy General Plan:
• Land Use
• Circulation
• Open Space and Conservation
• Economic Development
• Safety
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Housing
The Elements that comprise the Cudahy 2040 General Plan, along with environmental justice and sustainability, are summarized in Section 7 of this Report.

Implementation of the General Plan
Each policy in the General Plan includes one or more implementation programs or actions to assure that there is a mechanism for its implementation. The implementation of the General Plan establishes ongoing programs that must be developed by City staff and approved by the City Council before being implemented. Implementation programs or actions are necessary to

Page 52 of 237 ends

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT achieve the General Plan’s goals and policies. The Implementation programs are organized by corresponding General Plan Elements that further refine and group programs into related areas and topics.

3.0 City Background
The City of Cudahy
As noted previously, on March 20, 2018 the City adopted the 2040 General Plan, thus updating the previous General Plan. The 2040 General Plan governs the land area located within the corporate boundaries of the City of Cudahy. The incorporated City limits were not changed with the adoption of the 2040 General Plan. The total land area for the City is 1.2 square miles making it one of the smallest incorporated cities in California in terms of land area. The City is located eight miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles and immediately west of the Los Angeles River and the Long Beach Freeway (SR-710). Cudahy is bounded on the north by Bell, on the west by Huntington Park, on the east by Bell Gardens, and on the south by South Gate. The location of the City of Cudahy, in a regional and local context, is indicated below in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

http://tims.berkeley.edu/tools/gismap/index.php
Cudahy is located just south of an industrial district that includes the cities of southeast Los Angeles, Vernon, Huntington Park, Commerce, Montebello, and Santa Fe Springs. As industrial development occurred in the area, Cudahy along with the neighboring communities of Bell, Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, and Maywood, provided the homes and shopping areas for those working in the nearby industrial areas. The surrounding cities in the area incorporated during the 1920's and 1930's though Cudahy remained unincorporated until November 10, 1960. In 1970, the City's population was 16,998 persons according to the U. S. Census conducted for that year.

In 1980, the census estimated the population at 17,984 persons; the 1990 census estimated the population at 22,817 persons; the 2000 census estimated the population at 24,208 persons; the 2010 census estimated the population at 23,805 persons and the 2020 census estimated the population at 22,811 persons.

Cudahy is one of the most densely populated communities in California. The most recent U.S.

Census population estimates (2020) show Cudahy with a population density of 24,076 persons per square mile. As indicated earlier, the City’s land area of just over one square mile makes

Page 54 of 237 ends

12 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Cudahy one of the smallest cities in the state in terms of land area, though it is one of the most densely populated.

Early growth in the area that is now Cudahy paralleled the boom that most of Southern California experienced following the Second World War and continuing on into the 1950's. A second and even greater period of growth occurred in the 1980’s and 1990’s due to people migrating into the area, primarily from various Latin American nations.

The majority of the City is zoned for high-density residential development (HDR) and mediumdensity residential (MDR) that has resulted in a transition from lower density single-family neighborhoods to higher density residential uses. The resulting residential development, now found in the City, is characterized by single-family units interspersed with higher density development.

Population Trends
Population data sets are the most expressive indicators of growth trends in Cudahy. Table 1 below, lists the City of Cudahy’s population by decade from 1970 to 2010 with the annual change rates for each decade.

Population growth in Cudahy was the greatest in the 1990's when California and Los Angeles were both the popular migration destinations. Although the 2010 Census noted a reduction in the population, recent Department of Finance figures indicate that Cudahy’s 2017 population increased to 24,076 persons. This increase may be attributed to the migration of younger families into the area as well as natural increases in population. The reports of 1992 assumed that growth in the coming decade would be similar to that observed from 1970 to 1980 (5.8%) and the resulting population projection, projected a population of 24,140 in the year-2000, which was quite close to the actual 2000 population figure of 24,208 persons identified in the U.S. Census for that year.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT The California Department of Finance, 2025 population estimate for Cudahy was 22,132.

The following are some key findings concerning demographics and housing:
• Cudahy experienced its greatest population growth in the 1990s; however, from the years of 2007 through 2010 there was a slight reduction in population that may be attributed to the declining economy from 2000 to 2010.
• Cudahy again experience a slight reduction in population in 2025, with a .34% decrease from the 2024 population of 22,208 people, and projections are that this slight reduction will continue.
• Cudahy is a predominately Hispanic/Latino community, with 97.7% of the population identifying as Hispanic/Latino.
• Cudahy has a low educational attainment with very few of the City’s residents having some college or higher. According to the 2020 Census Data, only 6.5% of the population have a bachelor’s degree or higher.

• According to the 2010 California Department of Finance records, the housing make up is as follows; single detached units (37%), single attached units (22.8%), 2-4 units (5.6%), 5 or more units (27.3%), and (7.3%) are mobile home units. • The City’s housing stock is getting older, well over half (57.4%) of the City’s housing stock was built prior to 1960.
• A household was considered to be overpaying for housing if more than 30% of their net “take-home” income was used for paying rent or mortgages. According to census figures for the year 2020, 45.2% of the total owner-occupied units living in owner-occupied units paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the mortgage. According to the same census figures, 56.3% of the total renter households paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the rent.

4.0 Community Development Activity

During 2025 the City continued to implement the City’s General Plan by reviewing requested entitlements, updating the Capital Improvement Program, applying for a variety of grants, and adopting Cudahy Together: A Strategic Plan for a Thriving Community. Cudahy’s General Plan reflects the community’s shared values of what Cudahy is today and plans to be in future years. 6th Cycle Implementation
Throughout 2025, the City continued to implement the goals of the Housing Element. This included discussing zoning text amendments required to meet Housing Element programs at Planning Commission and researching grants for programs that would promote affordable housing. A status update on each Housing Element Program and Objective is included in the Housing Element Annual Progress Report for 2025 (Appendix B).

Business Licenses
The total number of businesses, with a City issued business license are shown in Table 4. This total includes current, new, expired business licenses for the year 2025.

*Counts do not include rental properties and contractor licenses Code Compliance
The City community preservation efforts encourage property maintenance and upkeep. These efforts include the identification of nuisances that endanger public health and safety, and the provision of technical support or other incentives to allow early correction of the problem. The City works towards the continued renovation of structures that do not meet current seismic safety standards and electrical code requirements. Code Enforcement site visits are typically complaint driven. The City of Cudahy continued to maintain a number of programs that property owners may take advantage of if their unit is found to be substandard. Code Enforcement officers remained proactive during 2025, in referring residential property owners to these programs.

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Residential Rehabilitation Program The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Residential Rehabilitation Program develops a working relationship with the residents of the City in order to promote a better quality of life. The program ensures adherence with CDBG regulations, contractual requirements, federal record keeping/documentation requirements, and local policies; and provides technical assistance to ensure that rehabilitation on a property is completed within the fiscal year funded. The Housing Division conducts interviews, performs on-site visits, and pre-approves client files for the Housing Improvement Program for Federal grants and/or loans.

In 2024, the City amended the rehabilitation program to expand the housing unit type eligibility to multi-family and mobile homes. The City was successful in providing funds for two singlefamily, owner-occupied households during the FY 24/25 and an additional two single-family, owner-occupied households during the FY 25/26. The City continues to promote the CDBG Rehabilitation Program, and looks forward to an improving economy, allowing for the provision of additional grants and/or loans in 2026.

During 2025, the following project(s) were part of the Residential Rehabilitation Program:

1. 5158 Live Oak Street, Cudahy, CA 90201
Single Family Residence - Owner Occupied. The project included reroofing of the single-family home and attached garage and repair to damaged and missing window screens.

5.0 Land and Housing Inventory
This section assesses the housing development potential in Cudahy during the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period. The purpose is to determine the quantity of land available to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The RHNA is broken down by income group into four categories: Very Low (less than 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI)), Low (50-80% of AMI), Moderate (80-120% of AMI), and High (over 120% of AMI). While a jurisdiction must show that it has adequate sites in total to meet its RHNA, it must also show that it can meet the allocation at each of these income categories.

Housing Inventory
The State requires that a Housing Element identify how much housing can be constructed to accommodate the community’s RHNA. Section 65583(a)(3) of the California Government Code states that this inventory must be site specific to help localities determine the appropriate zoning, development standards, and infrastructure capacity to accommodate the new construction needed. The Code also requires that all land identified must be available for residential use in the planning period. Sites that require rezoning may be included in the inventory provided that actions are taken to address the rezoning early in the planning period.

The types of sites that are appropriate for residential development include:
• Vacant residentially zoned sites;
• Vacant non-residentially zoned sites that allow residential development;

Page 61 of 237 ends

19 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT • Underutilized residentially zoned sites capable of being developed at a higher density or with greater intensity; and
• Non-residentially zoned sites that can be redeveloped for, and/or rezoned for, residential use (via program actions, such as rezoning).

Sites Inventory and Analysis
As part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update the City conducted a Sites Inventory and Analysis. The housing sites inventory for the current (2021-2029) RHNA consists of a mix of vacant and underutilized land. The inventory of vacant residential and mixed-use land in Cudahy totals

16.18 acres. Most vacant sites identified in the inventory allow densities above 20 units per acre and are credited towards the lower-income RHNA. These vacant properties can accommodate the City’s RHNA of 393 units with the potential to support 632 units.

The inventory of underutilized residential land in Cudahy totals 16.18 acres. Most underutilized sites identified in the inventory allow densities above 20 units per acre and are credited towards the lower-income RHNA. All underutilized sites in the inventory have a minimum size of one-half acre and are located adjacent to other underutilized or vacant sites to accommodate lot consolidation. All of the identified sites included in this inventory also have a realistic capacity of more than double the currently developed uses.

Realistic Capacity
The City’s share of the regional housing need will be met through the implementation of a variety of strategies (e.g., available vacant land, and increasing allowable zoning densities throughout the entire City (e.g., as part of the 2040 General Plan and Development Code update the HDR and Mixed-Use Zones were increased from 14.52 to 40 dwelling units per acre; Increasing the existing allowable density to 40 dwelling units per acre will further facilitate meeting the demand for affordable housing).

The City’s land inventory was developed by a combination of methods, among them, utilizing data available from the City and the LA County Assessor’s Parcel Maps, a review of aerial maps, and most importantly, through field work. The inventory was updated as part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element update efforts.

Key Sites for Housing
Vacant Sites and Underutilized Residential Land – The analysis indicates there are approximately 16.18 acres of vacant or underutilized land that can support 632 housing units at various income levels.

Increased Density in Cudahy – As part of the City’s 2040 General Plan update efforts, the City increased the allowable zoning densities throughout the entire City (e.g., the HDR was

Page 62 of 237 ends

20 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT increased from 14.52 to 40 dwelling units per acre). Increasing the existing allowable density to 40 dwelling units per acre will further facilitate meeting the demand for affordable housing.

Zoning Appropriate to Accommodate Housing for Lower-Income Households The City recognizes that the higher density residential and community commercial zones (HDR, CMU, and CivicMU) provide the potential for lower construction cost because of economies of scale created and are therefore most suitable for development of housing affordable to very lowincome and low-income households. Those sites identified in the inventory as having the greatest potential to accommodate housing affordable to lower income households allow densities of at least 40 dwelling units per acre.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
• Quantified Objectives
o California Housing Element Law requires jurisdictions to estimate the number of affordable housing opportunities that will be created over the seven-year planning period. In 1980, the State of California amended the Government Code by adding Article 10.6 regarding Housing Elements. By enacting this statute, the legislature found that "the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order. The early attainment of this goal requires the cooperative participation of government and the private sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the housing needs of Californians of all economic levels. Local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community…"
The quantified objectives of the City by income category, for the RHNA 6th Cycle 2021- 2029, are provided in the table below. The City’s objective is to allow the construction of at least 393 new units; from very low to above moderate-income levels.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Housing Cost and Affordability
The 2020 Census data indicated that for owner-occupied housing units, the majority of the monthly mortgage payments in the City was $2,000 or more, with the median being $1,812 per month. A household was considered to be overpaying for housing if more than 30% of their net “take-home” income was used for paying rent or mortgages. According to census figures for the year 2020, 45.2% of the total owner-occupied units living in owner-occupied units paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the mortgage. According to the same census figures,

56.3% of the total renter households paid in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards the rent. The table below shows the percentages of owner-occupied units and renter occupied units that are paying in excess of 30% of their monthly income towards rent.

Table 8 Housing Overpayment
Housing Units Paying an Excess of 30% of their Monthly Income towards Rent Owner-Occupied Units 45.2%
Renter-Occupied Units 56.3%
Housing Crisis
Residential vacancy rates, and the location of the City within the Los Angeles basin, are two market constraints that affect the affordability of housing. As Los Angeles development areas continue to expand, Cudahy and the surrounding cities are becoming an increasingly convenient area in which to live. Housing prices will continue to rise due to this demand. Just over 1.9% of the housing stock within the Cudahy is vacant. This translates into a demand for housing in the region exceeding the available supply, which inflates both the rental and ownership housing prices. If land values, construction costs, and interest rates continue to increase in the long-term, the cost of all new housing will rise accordingly.

As indicated above, the City has no control over the market fluctuations that may affect housing costs because market conditions result from a complex interplay of national economic policies and general economic conditions. Inflation in the cost of goods and especially housing means that many families find themselves unable to afford suitable housing. The lack of sufficient income causes more working people to share the cost of a home. As a result, overcrowding is common, and the housing choice of many households is severely restricted.

Redlining practices have not been observed, as the city's housing market is not characterized by wide disparities in prices. The Long Beach Fair Housing Foundation monitors redlining practices in the Southern California region, including the City of Cudahy, and has found that redlining practices do not appear to be a problem.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Environmental and Infrastructure Constraints
Environmental factors, such as topography, soils, landslides and seismic hazards, and noise, as well as the lack of infrastructure, such as roads, water, and sewer lines, are constraints to housing development in the City. However, most of the potential housing sites identified by the City are not constrained by environmental factors or by lack of adequate infrastructure, with the exceptions of earthquake, ground shaking which affects the entire region and poor water infrastructure provided by Tract 180 Water Company. The General Plan has taken these environmental factors into account. Where development is planned on the remaining undeveloped sites, potential environmental impacts will be evaluated and mitigation measures shall be required, as needed.

Environmental Setting
The City of Cudahy is a relatively new city having only incorporated in the 1960s. At the time of incorporation, more than 80% of the City’s total land area was developed. In terms of land area, Cudahy is one of the smallest cities in Los Angeles County with only 1.2 square miles. In spite of its relatively small land area, Cudahy is home to 23,937 residents according to the most recent State Department of Finance estimates. The City’s relatively large population given its small geographic area makes it one of the most densely populated communities in California.

A great majority of the City is development in residential land uses with residential neighborhoods accounting for approximately 394-acres of land or 51.5% of the total land area of Cudahy. An industrial area is located in the southernmost portion of the City on both the west and east sides of Atlantic Avenue. Industrial land uses account for approximately 79-acres of land or 12.3% of the City’s total land area. Commercial land uses are located along the major roadways such as Atlantic Avenue and at key intersections and account for approximately 43- acres of land or 6.7% of the total City’s total land area.

Noise
The City is located in an area where the ambient noise levels are relatively high. A citywide noise inventory performed in May 2013, found that virtually all of the neighborhoods in Cudahy are located in areas where noise levels exceed 65 dBA. Traffic noise from automobiles, trucks, and other motor vehicles traveling along the local roadway network, is Cudahy’s most pervasive source of noise, as determined by a community noise survey conducted on November 24, 2015.

The City’s noise environment is not expected to significantly change over time since the primary factors contributing to noise, namely the arterial roadway and freeway traffic and nearby industrial, will have a continued presence in the City. State noise guidelines recommend that residential development be located in areas exposed to ambient outdoor noise levels no greater than 65 A-weighted decibels (dBA).

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Geologic and Seismic Hazards
No known earthquake faults traverse Cudahy and the City is not exposed to natural environmental hazards such as flooding, slope erosion and landslides. However, the City is located within an area that is subject to liquefaction hazards. The City is located within the dam inundation area of the Garvey Reservoir in Monterey Park.

The nearest major river is the Los Angeles River. This River does have a potential impact on the City of Cudahy. Normally this river channel is dry and only carries a significant water flow during a major rainstorm. The river channel is part of the County Flood Control District and the City is protected by a levee wall.

City of Cudahy, like most of the Los Angeles Basin, lie over the area of one or more known earthquake faults, and potentially many more unknown faults, particularly so-called lateral or blind thrust faults.

The major faults that have the potential to affect the greater Los Angeles Basin, and therefore the City of Cudahy are the:
• Norwalk
• Raymond Hill
• Malibu Coast-Santa MonicaHollywood
• San Andreas
• Newport-Inglewood
• San Fernando
• Sierra Madre
• Whittier
The Los Angeles Basin has a history of powerful and relatively frequent earthquakes, dating back to the powerful 8.0+ 1857 San Andreas Earthquake which did substantial damage to the relatively few buildings that existed at the time. Paleo seismological research indicates that large (8.0+) earthquakes occur on the San Andreas fault at intervals between 45 and 332 years with an average interval of 140 years. Other lesser faults have also caused very damaging earthquakes since 1857. Notable earthquakes include the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, the 1971 San Fernando Earthquake, the 1987 Whittier Earthquake and the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. In addition, many areas in the Los Angeles Basin have sandy soils that are subject to liquefaction, including in the City of Cudahy.

Roads
The transportation system in Cudahy consists of a roadway network dominated by Atlantic Avenue, collector streets, and local streets. The Long Beach Freeway (State Route-710) is located just east of Cudahy. Also, the City's central location in Los Angeles County provides Cudahy with easy access to most parts of the Southern California region. Local circulation within the City generally follows a grid pattern; except for Atlantic Avenue which extends in a north-south orientation at a slight angle and Salt Lake Avenue which follows the curve of the railroad tracks.

Page 66 of 237 ends

24 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Atlantic Avenue is a regional highway that extends north to Alhambra and south to Long Beach.

Traffic volumes on most City streets are currently approaching or are at capacity.

Regional access to the City is provided by the Long Beach Freeway (I-710) that extends along the City's eastern border. Access to this freeway is provided by Florence Avenue (north of Cudahy) and Firestone Boulevard (south of Cudahy), both being major arterials located just outside the City. Florence Avenue is a major roadway that provides a connection to the Long Beach Freeway for the neighboring communities of Downey, Bell and Bell Gardens. With local freeway access largely dependent on Florence Avenue, the traffic on this roadway during peak hours is congested. Local access to Florence Avenue is provided by Wilcox Avenue and Atlantic Avenue and access to Firestone Boulevard is provided by Atlantic Avenue. The transportation system framework within Cudahy is largely defined by Atlantic Avenue which is a major north/south arterial that extends through the City. Other north/south roadways include Salt Lake Avenue, Wilcox Avenue, and Otis Avenue which also provide access to neighboring cities. Clara Street and Santa Ana Street are two primary east/west roadways. Aside from Atlantic Avenue and Santa Ana Street (west of Atlantic Avenue), all of the streets in the City consist of two travel lanes.

All the potential housing sites identified are infill sites located in existing built-out areas of the City; all of which have adequate road access (ingress and egress).

Assessment of Sewer and Water
The City receives sewer service from the Los Angeles County Sewer and water service from the Tract 349 Mutual Water Company and Tract 180 Water Company. The table below identifies the findings relevant to the sewer and water systems.

Table 9 Sewer and Water Services

If the development occurs on the parcels identified in the 2021 Housing Element Sites Inventory, and the maximum densities adopted in the 2040 General Plan and updated Development Code are achieved; then then the City has the potential to meet the RHNA requirements of 393 units in the 6th cycle. The following improvements are critical to the success of achieving the housing goals:
• According to the 2020 California Department of Finance data, there were 5,770 housing units in Cudahy. The increases in density for both the HDR and Mixed-Use zone districts could provide an increase of 860 new housing units, for a total of 6,630 housing units in Cudahy.
• Los Angeles County Sewer will continue to operate adequately due to having a system that is > 90% free of blockages/restrictions, > 90% in adequate water capacity, > 80% free of structural defects, along with their newly implemented improvements. • Tract 349 Mutual Water Company currently has plans to replace one of the existing groundwater wells. Although the location of the new well has not yet been determined, it will be located at one of the two existing well locations. • Tract 180 Water Company Tract 180 Water Company states there is no deficit in water availability for the areas they serve. Tract 180 currently has enough water to supply current uses and future developments in their service area, including new residential developments. The company is currently upsizing water lines to be more efficient and to

Page 68 of 237 ends

26 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT create more pressure. These improvements to the water lines will solve issues within the Cudahy service area more efficiently. These improvements were previously expected to be completed by the end of 2025, but construction work has yet to begin. • Golden State Water Company (Golden State Water) provides water services to the east portion of the City east of Wilcox Avenue. Currently, no deficiencies exist within Golden State Water’s jurisdiction. Increases in land use density from new developments/redevelopments will require fire flow tests as mandated by the LA Fire Department. Golden State Water has since implemented the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) program to mitigate iron and manganese levels within the water supply.

6.0 Long Range Planning Activities
General Plan
While the pace of development has ebbed, the implementation of the City’s new 2040 General Plan includes planning efforts that will position Cudahy to accommodate future growth in a more sustainable manner and ready the community for investment and economic development opportunities. Below are summaries of the major, long range planning efforts, and accomplishments, that were completed in 2025:

Cudahy Together: A Strategic Plan for a Thriving Community • As part of the 6th Cycle Housing Element Economic Development Strategic Plan and Transit Oriented Development Program (Program 32), in 2025 the City had an objective to approve a West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Cudahy Strategic Implementation Plan. On March 18, 2025, Cudahy Together: A Strategic Plan for a Thriving Community was approved by the City Council. Cudahy Together studies two project areas in the vicinity of future Metro light rail stations proposed outside the borders of Cudahy, in Huntington Park and South Gate, to help guide future development in the area and to avoid negative impacts to the Community such as displacement. Cudahy Together includes an Equity Study, Community Preservation Study, and Placemaking Study, each with proposed recommendations for City projects and programs.

Capital Improvement Program
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a roadmap that provides direction and guidance for the City of Cudahy on carefully planning and managing its capital and infrastructure assets.

Capital Improvement Programs assists in the planning and scheduling of finances for projects and the workforce needed to plan, design, and construct the projects.

The typical City of Cudahy CIP Program includes the following projects:

7.0 General Plan Elements
State law regulates the content of General Plans. Sections 65300-65403 of the California Government Code require that local jurisdictions prepare and adopt a general plan to guide the physical development of the City and its sphere of influence. There are seven mandatory elements that comprise the Cudahy General Plan: Land Use, Circulation (Transportation), Open Space and Conservation, Safety, Noise, and Housing. Rather than create a stand-alone Element, the City integrated Environmental Justice into each Element. The City also took a holistic approach to community health, weaving principles of sustainability into every Element as well.

The State encourages cities and counties to prepare other elements that address specific concerns in the community. The City’s 2040 General Plan update included two new Elements, an Air Quality Element and an Economic Development Element.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Land Use Element
The Land Use Element designates the general location, distribution, and extent of the various permitted land uses within the City. It establishes land use designations and defines the urban form for the various neighborhoods and districts in Cudahy. The element identifies standards for population density and development intensity for each type of land use. The goals and policies provide the framework for shaping the physical environment; they guide development decisions in a manner that will achieve high quality projects and a balanced mix of uses. Throughout the 2040 General Plan outreach process, community members stressed the importance of developing a distinctive look and feel for Cudahy, with uses that support living a well-rounded life.

Land Use Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2025:
• Continued to improve development application processing times. The time required to process a project varies greatly from one project to another and is directly related to the size and complexity of the proposal and the number of actions or approvals needed to complete the process. The table below identifies the typical processing time most common in the entitlement process. It should be noted that each project does not necessarily have to complete each step in the process (i.e., small scale projects consistent with General Plan and Zoning designations do not generally require Environmental Impact Reports (EIR), General Plan Amendments, Rezones, or Variances). Also, certain review and approval procedures may run concurrently. For example, a ministerial review for a singlefamily home would be processed concurrently with the design review, typically taking 3- 6 months. Similarly, entitlements for multiple family residential projects can be run concurrently, and typically take 3-6 months to process. The City also encourages the joint processing of related applications for a single project. As an example, a rezone petition may be reviewed in conjunction with the required site plan, tentative tract map, and any necessary variances. Such procedures save time, money, and effort for both the public and private sector.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT Circulation Element
The transportation system in Cudahy consists of a roadway network dominated by Atlantic Avenue, collector streets, and local streets. The Long Beach Freeway (State Route-710) is located just east of Cudahy. Also, the City's central location in Los Angeles County provides Cudahy with easy access to most parts of the Southern California region. Local circulation within the City generally follows a grid pattern, except for Atlantic Avenue which extends in a north-south orientation at a slight angle and Salt Lake Avenue which follows the curve of the railroad tracks.

Atlantic Avenue is a regional highway that extends north to Alhambra and south to Long Beach.

Traffic volumes on most City streets are currently approaching or are at capacity.

Public transit is available through the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and the Cudahy Area Rapid Transit (CART). The Union Pacific Electric Railroad right-of-way extends along the western edge of the City and the Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way extends along the southern edge of the City. Neither railroad line provides freight service into the City.

This Circulation Element of the 2040 General Plan evaluates the existing roadway circulation system and identifies measures to accommodate existing and future traffic volumes. Other issues addressed in the Element address include public transit parking, and alternative forms of transportation. The Circulation Element complies with California Government Code Section 65302(b), which requires that the Circulation Element identify the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes and other public utilities and facilities. The goals, policies, plan and programs of the Circulation Element then respond to identified traffic concerns, as well as projected traffic conditions. The Transportation Plan identifies strategies that will address future traffic.

Circulation Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2025, including funding sources:
• HSIP Cycle 11 – Citywide Pedestrian Signal Head Project (CIP # TRE-009 and # ATP-004):

The project scope of work consists of the installation of retro-reflective backplates, other signals improvements, and implement Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) timing at all signals citywide. Re-stripe crosswalks to implement high-visibility crosswalk at all signalized intersections. The design contract was awarded by the City Council on December 3, 2024, to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The project design phase kick-off meeting was conducted December 18, 2024 and has continued throughout 2025. The Project is tentatively scheduled to go out for bid for construction in August 2026. • Lugo Park Soccer Field Rehabilitation Project (PRE-005).

The work was completed in July 2025 and a grand reopening on the park took place that same month. • HSIP Cycle 7 – Salt Lake Avenue Pedestrian Safety Improvements Project (CIP # TRE-001):

The project includes pedestrian safety enhancements along Salt Lake Avenue between Walnut Street and Patata Street/Atlantic Avenue. The improvements include the installation of larger signage (advisory and Stop Signs), solar powered flashing beacons, installation of pavement legend, limit lines and high visibility crosswalk lines to improve pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular modes of travel along Salt Lake Avenue. The project was 90% completed by the end of 2024 and was finished in July 2025.

• Citywide-Atlantic Complete Streets Project (CIP # STR-003) – The Cudahy Citywide Complete Streets Improvement Project focuses on the Atlantic Avenue Corridor and Citywide Multimodal Transportation Improvements for the First/Last Mile. The scope of work includes pavement resurfacing, construction of pedestrian improvements such as pedestrian scale lighting, bus stop improvements, new bus shelters, new landscaping and landscape island south of Cecilia, new ADA access ramps, high visibility crosswalks, signal upgrades and new bike lanes. The construction contract was awarded by the City Council on December 17, 2024. Construction began in 2025 and was anticipated to be complete by the end of the year. However, due to change orders received during the construction process and other construction delays caused by weather, work is continuing into 2026. • Clara Bridge Lighting Improvement Project (CIP # BRI-001) – The project scope of work consists of the installation of LED lights to Clara Bridge. It also includes concrete beams retrofit to receive new street light poles, hand-rail painting, traffic stripping and structural repairs per bridge report recommendations. The project also entails traffic striping reconfiguration and the installation of traffic calming measure devices. Construction began in 2025 and was anticipated to be complete by the end of the year. However, due to change orders received during the construction process, work is continuing into 2026. • ATP Cycle 6 – Salt Lake Pedestrian Accessibility Project (CIP # ATP-003) – Project scope of work includes sidewalk widening along the east side of the street to meet ADA requirements and allow pedestrian activity. The project will also facilitate pedestrian access to future Metro stations for the West Santa Ana Branch Project (WSAB). The project entails the removal and reconstruction of the existing narrow (non-ADA compliant) sidewalk, the removal and reconstruction of wheelchair ramps, add medium to large curb extensions to reduce pedestrian crossing distance while improving crossing angle at existing skewed intersections along Salt Lake Avenue corridor, add pedestrian crosswalks at intersections to increase safety for pedestrians while providing pedestrian access to future WSAB stations. In addition, the project includes the installation of pedestrian lighting, wayfinding signage, traffic striping, installation of benches for pedestrians, planting new trees to create shade canopies for pedestrians as well as other miscellaneous items. A design contract was awarded by the City Council to Kimley-Horn

• West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Strategic Implementation Plan: The City of Cudahy Strategic Vision Implementation Plan focuses on the effects that proposed two train stations (located within North and South City boundaries) of the West Santa Ana Branch Line, renamed to the Southeast Gateway Line, will have in the City. The plan includes an Equity Study, Community Preservation Study, and Placemaking Study. On March 18, 2025, Cudahy Together: A Strategic Plan for a Thriving Community was approved by the City Council. This plan was funded by a Metro TOD SIP Grant for $160,000. All reimbursements were received from Metro by September 2025.

Open Space and Conservation Element
The Open Space and Conservation Element of the 2040 General Plan addresses long-term community needs and plans for open space, parks, recreation services, and natural resource preservation. This element also includes policies for sewer, water, and storm drain facilities, which are important to maintain and update to support sustainable growth. The goals and policies reflect both technical analyses based on national standards for park space and community input gathered from resident interviews and the results of the Enabling Strategic Growth study.

The open space and conservation concepts discussed in this Element present strategies for natural resource conservation and preservation, and for increasing/improving parks and recreation opportunities in Cudahy. Although providing new parkland may not be attainable through traditional methods (parkland dedication and significant property acquisition), opportunities exist for creating smaller-scale, accessible urban recreational spaces within walking distance of each Cudahy neighborhood.

The City of Cudahy provides its residents and surrounding neighbors with a variety of recreational programs. Recreational programs, classes, and sports (and their respective locations). The recreational courses and sports programs that were available at each City Park and Facility for the year 2025 are summarized in the table below. Cudahy residents receive priority registration and pay lower fees than a non-resident. The City‘s Sports Department consists of various sports available throughout the year for boys and girls between the ages of 4-16. Participants register individually and are placed on teams organized by the Cudahy Parks and Recreation Staff. All teams are coached by volunteer coaches.

CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT The City rents out their athletic fields to non-profit and for-profit adult sports leagues (i.e., basketball, soccer, flag football, and softball). All adult leagues are independently run by their respected organizations.

Safety Element
The Safety Element of the 2040 General Plan presents a citywide approach for preventing the creation of hazards in the planning area and for minimizing the potential for injury, damage and disruption brought by natural events. The Element establishes safety standards and programs designed to protect life and property. Public safety standards include guidelines for activities involving risk to the public, as well as measures to follow when development occurs in areas susceptible to natural or manmade risks.

As a state-mandated element, the Safety Element of the 2040 General Plan fulfills the requirements of Section 65302(g) of the California Government Code. It sets goals and policies which address public safety issues in the City. The Element also serves as a public safety plan, identifies standards and programs to promote public safety, and outlines adequate facilities and services to serve the emergency needs of the City. The Safety Element maps the location of known hazard areas and available evacuation routes, indicates peak water supply requirements, minimum road widths, clearances around structures, and provides safety and emergency procedures.

Safety Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2025:
• Cudahy continues to contract law enforcement and fire response services with Los Angeles County agencies. As these agencies serve other, larger areas in addition to Cudahy, the local Sheriff and fire stations are not located within Cudahy. Thus, public safety facilities cannot serve as focal points for Cudahy’s civic identity. As a small city Clara Park and Expansion Park

• Los Angeles County Sherriff response times in Cudahy are less than three minutes for emergencies, ten minutes or less for priorities, and 60 minutes for routine items. • Los Angeles County Fire Department response time for Cudahy is approximately three minutes.
• Within Cudahy, the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center offers immediate care and outpatient services. The closest hospitals are located in Huntington Park and East Los Angeles.

Noise Element
Excessive noise levels disturb and disrupt human activities and can affect the physical and psychological health of individuals. Noise conditions can depreciate the quality of the environment by affecting work, sleep, and recreation. Cudahy is a predominantly residential community. As the City grows and expands its economic base through new and modernized land uses, keeping noise levels controlled, located away from neighborhoods, or buffered will continue to be important in ensuring a positive quality of life for Cudahy’s residents. This 2040 General Plan Element addresses noise that affects the community at large, rather than noise associated with site-specific conditions. The goals and policies in this element guide decisions concerning land use and the location of land uses, new roads, and transit facilities since these are common sources of increased noise levels. This element explores various noise reduction options and land use compatibility standards.

As mandated by the California Government Code Section 65302(f), the Noise Element follows the guidelines established by the Office of Noise Control of the State Department of Health Services.

Goals, policies, and guidelines for minimizing increases in ambient noise levels are outlined in the section that follows.

Noise Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2025:
• The City of Cudahy requires mitigation measures during entitlements and approvals subject to CEQA.
• Cudahy “CMC” Article 23: Environmental Performance Standards, ensure that residential neighborhoods and the business community in Cudahy will be free from environmental hazards such as of noise, vibration, dust, glare, and other negative influences. • Noise standards for the various categories of land uses set forth in Tables 12 and 13 shall, unless otherwise specified, apply to each property or portion of property in the community. Where two or more dissimilar land uses occur on a single property, the more restrictive noise standard shall apply. The maximum permissible sound levels and noise

Air Quality Element
The Air Quality Element is a new Element for the City and was added to the 2040 General Plan.

Awareness and knowledge of the effects of human activities on the environment have grown significantly since the 1960s. In the early 2000s, concerns about climate change arose as a new focus. As such, finding ways to embrace sustainable practices has become a priority for Cudahy and many other California cities. Chief among environmental concerns is the impact of human actions and choices on the atmosphere and climate. With the emergence of the industrial age, human activity began to release increasing amounts of pollutants, carbon dioxide, and other harmful gases into the atmosphere, largely through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.

Page 78 of 237 ends

36 of 39
CITY OF CUDAHY 2025 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT The elevated levels of harmful gases and pollutants create two key concerns -- compromised local air quality and a global “greenhouse” effect that resulted in warming the Earth’s atmosphere.

The unhealthful conditions associated with air pollutants have been known for decades.

Beginning in the 1970s, legislation such as the federal Clean Air Act was enacted to improve air quality and, thus, reduce impacts on human health associated with high pollutant levels. Global warming, however, did not really enter the public consciousness until the United Nations (U.N.) Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted the Kyoto Protocol in 1997. This 1997 U.N.

Convention highlighted the serious threats to public safety associated with global warming, including sea level rise, associated flooding, and significant effects on agricultural practices and production.

This Element addresses local and regional air quality, stationary and mobile emission sources in the community, and identifies programs that will be effective in reducing pollutant emissions generated within the City.

Air Quality Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2025:
• The City of Cudahy requires mitigation measures during entitlements and approvals subject to CEQA.
• The City of Cudahy continues to be subject to regulations from various agencies. The primary agencies include the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
• The City of Cudahy uses SCAQMD-recommended thresholds in its local review of development projects over which the City has jurisdiction. A development that results in either construction-related emissions or operational emissions that exceed specified daily emissions thresholds are considered to have a significant and adverse environmental impact. The applicable emissions thresholds for both construction-related and operational emissions are summarized in Table 14.

The Economic Development Element is a new Element for the City and was added to the 2040 General Plan. A community’s economic viability relies on interdependent factors: providing an appropriate mix of land uses that support the desired economy, balancing the goods and services provided to fulfill the needs of local households and businesses, and attracting and retaining businesses. With nearly a third of Cudahy households living below the poverty line, spurring economic development is a vital piece of the 2040 General Plan. The City of Cudahy recognizes that land use and other policies must maintain and encourage a diverse and entrepreneurial economy to ensure that residents and businesses thrive. This Economic Development Element establishes policies to retain local business, attract new industries, sustain education and job training for the current and future workforce, promote affordable housing, support the tax base, and sustain Cudahy’s ability to provide public services.

In 2023, the City adopted an Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) a long-term plan that guides the City in fostering economic growth. The plan sets goals, identifies key industries for development, assesses strength and weaknesses, and outlines actions to improve infrastructure to attract investment, and create jobs. In 2025, the City continues efforts to implement the recommendations in the plan.

Economic Development Element; highlights of the progress made in the calendar year 2025:
• In 2025, the City continued to work in collaboration with existing businesses to support a Cudahy Chamber of Commerce.
• City staff updated the Economic Development Division webpages on the City website.

Included are subpages with an economic profile of the City, opportunity sites available for lease or development, and information on available business assistance.

Environmental Justice and Sustainability
The General Plan takes a holistic approach to environmental justice and sustainability.

Environmental justice and sustainability policies are integrated into every Element in the 2040 Cudahy General Plan.

In California, the goal of environmental justice as part of a jurisdiction’s general plan is to reduce the unique or compounded health risks in disadvantaged communities, promote community engagement in the public decision-making process, and prioritize improvements and programs to address the needs of disadvantaged communities (Government Code §65302). Disadvantaged communities are defined as communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple sources of pollution and with population characteristics that make them more sensitive to pollution. All of Cudahy is considered by the State of California to be a disadvantaged community.

Cudahy 2040 policies and programs supporting the environmental justice goal through reducing pollution exposure; promoting public facilities, food access, safe and sanitary homes, physical activity, and adaptation to climate change; and promoting civil engagement are marked with a blue clean air symbol.

Sustainability is achieved through careful planning to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The General Plan’s sustainability symbol, a green circular leaf, indicates the goals, policies, and/or programs that includes specific attention to best practices from the perspective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, or promoting a healthier lifestyle. Sustainability, through conservation and the development of innovative land use and transportation policies, is a cornerstone of the General Plan.

8.0 Goals, Priorities, and Objectives

The City of Cudahy aims to implement the priorities and objectives outlined in the 2040 General Plan throughout various activities and functions of local government. Many of the goals outlined for the future of the City are to be reviewed annually to direct the staff work effort for the upcoming calendar year. In this way, the implementation of the General Plan is an ongoing endeavor.

For a complete implementation update of the Cudahy General Plan, please reference the 2025 General Plan Implementation Status Update Table which is attached as Appendix C.

published on the City's website in 2026.

2. The City began to advertise Opportunity Sites on the City's website in late 2024. Once property owners provide approval for their site to be listed and interest in seeking developers or purchasers for their sites, the site is added.

The City also includes links to sites listed as available on third-party real estate platforms.

3. The City evaluates residential development proposals for consistency with statutory requirements, and the City’s General Plan goals and policies; as they relate to the
housing needs of the community. Projects proposed at
sites included in the sites inventory are evaluated for consistency with the projected density noted in the
Housing Element.

STAFF REPORT
Date: March 17, 2026
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Christopher R. Lopez, City Manager/Executive Director Juan Arauz, Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Raul Diaz, Public Works Director
Daniela Trujillo, Administrative Analyst
Subject: Approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to Provide Additional Engineering Design Services and Appropriate $121,779 for the Citywide Signal Improvements – HSIP Cycle 11 Project TRE-009

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-06:

1. Authorizing the City Manager to enter into and execute the First Amendment to Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KimleyHorn) to provide additional design phase engineering services for the Cudahy Citywide Signal Improvements Project – HSIP Cycle 11 in the additional amount of $85,741.91 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $193,833.92; and

BACKGROUND

1. In 2023, the City was awarded $1,217,790 in Highway Safety Improvement Program (“HSIP”) Cycle 11 Grant Funds (“HSIP Grant”) for certain design and construction costs of its Cudahy Citywide Signal Improvements Project.

2. On August 15, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the performance of certain design engineering services for the preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the Project, to be paid for with the portion of the HSIP Grant allocated for Project design costs.

Item Number

Staff Report

3. Kimley-Horn subsequently submitted a proposal and was selected in accordance with this RFP. On December 3, 2024, the City Council approved a PSA with Kimley-Horn in an amount not to exceed $108,092.01, for a scope of work including preparation of PS&E for traffic signal upgrades at the intersections along Atlantic Avenue, Otis Avenue, Wilcox Avenue and the intersection of Walker Avenue and Clara Street.

4. Because certain Project construction costs proposed to be funded by the HSIP Grant were covered through the separate Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Project, in 2025, the City applied to Caltrans for reallocating a portion of the HSIP Grant from construction to design costs, and a modification of the Project scope. Caltrans approved the City’s request on February 4, 202.

5. On December 15, 2025, City staff received a proposal from Kimley-Horn for design engineering services for the modified Project scope, projecting total costs of $ 85,741.91.

ANALYSIS
In 2022, the City applied for a HSIP Cycle 11 grant and in 2023 was awarded $1,217,790 for the Project, allocating $1,119,330 of the HSIP Grant for construction costs and $98,460 for the cost of engineering design. The maximum HSIP reimbursement for the Project is 90%, requiring the City to fund 10% of Project costs, thus $121,779 total. With $111,933 in construction costs and $9,846 in design costs. The City’s initial grant application proposed improvements of the traffic signals at the signalized intersections along Live Oak Street, Clara Street and Atlantic Avenue including replacement of traffic signal heads with new retroreflective backplates, installation of high visibility crosswalks and incorporating Lead Pedestrian Interval (LPI) signal timing.

In 2025, because certain Project construction costs proposed to be funded by the HSIP Grant were covered through the separate Atlantic Avenue Complete Streets Project the City applied to Caltrans for modifications to the improvements listed in the original HSIP Cycle 11 grant application, to exclude improvements along Atlantic Avenue and include traffic signal improvements along Hartle Avenue, Flower Street and Elizabeth Street as well as installation of “bulb-outs” (curb extensions) at Santa Ana Street, west of Atlantic Avenue and east of Salt Lake Avenue, and requested Kimley-Horn to provide a proposal for providing additional design services for the revised scope of work. In December of 2025, Kimley-Horn provided a proposal to complete the required work for projected total costs of $85,741.91.

Due to the changes in scope of work, need for further design services, and reduced construction costs,, City staff along with its consultants requested modifications to the scope and allocation of its HSIP Grant. On February 4, 2026, Caltrans, the “Administrative Agency” for the HSIP Cycle 11 Program, approved the requested cost and scope changes , revising the Project scope of work and reallocating $81,540 no longer needed for Project construction costs from the construction cost portion of the grant to the design cost, resulting in allocation of $1,037,790
