STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #A2
DATE: April 22, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Elise McCaleb, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation to continue the Public Hearing for the appeal of business license denial for Precision Roofing dba A Precision Construction, for property located at 12347 E.
Carson Street, to the meeting of June 10, 2026.
SUMMARY
The Community Development Department (“Department”) received the Business License Application for A Precision Roofing dba A Precision Construction (“Appellant”) on July 25, 2025 requesting a business license for Office and Professional Use at the property located at 12347 E. Carson Street. The business license application for the proposed office use at the Property was denied by the Community Development Director because the primary use was determined to be a contractor storage yard that is not permitted by the City of Hawaiian Gardens’ General Commercial (C-4) zoning designation. Following the denial, the property owner appealed the decision, and the matter is now before the City Council pursuant to Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code Sections 5.04.230 and
18.70.170.
On December 10, 2025 a public hearing was scheduled to hear the appeal. This appeal is being considered concurrently with a separate appeal by the City Council at the same property for a minor use permit (MUP) for boat sales use. The City Council determined that it would be appropriate to continue this item along with the MUP appeal hearing to February 11, 2026. Both hearings were further continued to March 11, 2026 and again to April 22, 2026.
The parties are still in discussions regarding the various uses at the property and related conditions of approval and need more time for consideration by the City Council.
Since the meeting continuance to April 22, 2026, Staff reviewed and provided comments on the revised site plan for the MUP applicant that includes the proposed office use. The City Attorney’s office also met with the MUP applicant’s attorney on the outstanding conditions of approval. Based upon the progress made, Staff is recommending that the Public Hearing be continued until June 10, 2026.
