STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item #A1
DATE: October 14 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 Minor Use Permit (MUP) for a proposed boat sales business located at 12347 E. Carson Street, to the meeting of October 28, 2026.

SUMMARY
On February 20, 2024, Surf City Boats, Inc. (“Applicant”) filed an application for Minor Use Permit (“MUP”) No. PLNG2024-0011 to authorize a boat sales business to be located at 12347 E. Carson Street (“the Property”). On December 12, 2024, the Community Development Director (“Director”) issued a decision to deny MUP No. PLNG2024-0011.

The property owner of the subject Property (“Property Owner”) timely filed an appeal of the Director’s decision to the City of Hawaiian Gardens Planning Commission.

On January 29, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the appeal filed by Surf City Boats, Inc. The Planning Commission determined that the proposed use of the property is a Boat Sales business and directed staff to prepare appropriate resolutions and conditions of approval to authorize the boat sales use on the Property 3 (AYES) to 2 (NOES).

On March 5, 2025, the Planning Commission determined that the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Action (CEQA) and approved Resolution No. 2025-001 (3 AYES; 2 ABSENT), subject to meeting certain Conditions of Approval.

On March 10, 2025, a Councilmember requested that the Planning Commission’s decision approving MUP No. PLNG2024-0011 be reviewed by the entire City Council pursuant to the authority granted in Hawaiian Gardens Municipal Code (“HGMC”) Section 12347 E. Carson Street
October 14, 2026

18.100.170(D). This section of the HGMC authorizes any member of the City Council to call up for review any decision made by the Director or Planning Commission. The City Council’s decision on the matter will be final.

On October 22, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing to review the decision of the Planning Commission and affirm (with the same or different conditions of approval) or overturn the Planning Commission’s decision and adopt appropriate findings to deny the MUP. The City Council voted to continue the public hearing until December 10, 2025, to allow for additional time to review the information provided.

On December 10, 2025, the public hearing was reopened and both Staff and the Applicant made presentations. The City Council directed the City Attorney and applicant’s attorney to meet to discuss the uses as well as conditions of approval. The City Attorney and applicant’s attorney have been in ongoing discussions regarding the uses and conditions of approval, per Council’s direction.

The City Council continued the hearing to February 11, 2026, to allow the parties additional time to review the project and revise the conditions of approval. The City Council further continued the hearing to March 11, 2026.

On March 3, 2026, the applicant submitted a revised site plan to the City. To allow staff sufficient time to review the site plan and for the parties to finalize discussions regarding uses and conditions, the hearing was again continued to April 22, 2026. Following continuance, staff reviewed and provided comments on the revised site plan for the applicant. The City Attorney’s office also met with the Applicant’s attorney on the outstanding conditions of approval. Based upon the progress made, the Public Hearing was further continued until June 10, 2026.

Thereafter, the parties held a Zoom meeting on May 7, 2026, to discuss the Low Impact Development (LID) requirements for the proposed project. Pending resolution of the remaining issues, including submission of a revised Site Plan and review by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the Public Hearing was continued until July 22, 2026.

On June 16, 2026, the City received a memorandum from Fuscoe Engineering representing the Applicant where they contend that the proposed work constitutes “maintenance” and not “redevelopment” a defined in the City’s code. Based on the memo and existing draining conditions, the City requested that the revised site plan incorporate additional drainage information to inform the City’s review. Given that there were several outstanding site conditions and requirements that needed to be addressed prior to the City Council’s consideration, the Public Hearing was continued to the meeting of September 9, 2026.

The City further considered whether the proposed proposal for maintenance of the pavement on the site triggers LID requirements. The City Attorney’s Office met with the Applicant’s attorney and the Conditions of Approval were further revised. A revised site 12347 E. Carson Street

plan was submitted for review, and staff provided further comments asking Applicant to address outstanding items, including a landscape plan. Council again continued the public hearing until October 14, 2026, to revise the conditions based on the latest site plan and to accommodate the Applicant’s team’s availability.

In response to the City’s comments, the applicant requested a site visit to review the site plan comments. Staff met with the applicant on September 21, 2026. The City is waiting for the applicant to submit a revised site plan. It is unknown if the applicant has submitted the site plan to LA County Fire. The Conditions of Approval with further revisions are being finalized. The Public Hearing is recommended to be continued until October 28, 2026.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to continue the Public Hearing for the appeal of business license denial for Chavez Unlimited Construction, Inc., for property located at 12347 E. Carson Street, to the meeting of October 28, 2026.

SUMMARY
The Community Development Department (“Department”) received the Business License Application for Chavez Unlimited Construction, Inc. (“Appellant”) on April 22, 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 based on the Director’s interpretation of Code provisions and the determination that the principal use is not an office but a contractor storage yard which 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 Section 5.04.230 and 18.100.170.

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, June 10, 2026, July 22, 2026, and September 9, 2026.

The City has further considered whether the proposed proposal for maintenance of the pavement on the site triggers LID requirements. The City Attorney’s Office met with the Applicant’s attorney and the Conditions of Approval were further refined. A revised site plan was submitted for review, and staff provided further comments. Council again continued the public hearing until October 14, 2026 to revise the conditions based on the latest site plan and to accommodate the Applicant’s team’s availability. 12347 E. Carson Street

RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMENDATION TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 032-2026 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPROVING THE EXCHANGE OF FY 2026-2027 PROPOSITION A

FUNDS BETWEEN THE CITY OF HAWAIIAN GARDENS AND THE CITY OF LA HABRA

HEIGHTS, CALIFORNIA AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO

AN ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT AND EXECUTE ALL OTHER NECESSARY

DOCUMENTS

SUMMARY
The City of Hawaiian Gardens receives Proposition A funds each fiscal year from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). Prop A funds are restricted for eligible public transit purposes. Restricted funding available to the City is insufficient to meet the City’s public transit costs. The City has agreed to exchange general funds with the City of La Habra Heights for Prop A funds at a negotiated rate of $0.75 of general funds per $1.00 of Prop A funds. Prop A funds will be used to operate the City’s municipal transit system.

DISCUSSION
The City has determined that the cost to support the City’s transportation needs currently exceeds the revenues received from the available restricted funding. Transfers from the General Fund are required to subsidize transportation-related expenses. A viable option to reduce the impact on the General Fund is to purchase Proposition A Transportation Funds at a discount from other cities in return for unrestricted General Fund dollars.

The City will receive approximately $355,000 in Prop A Local Return Transit Funds in FY 26-27 that can only be used for public transportation purposes. The budgeted Agenda Item #B4
October 14, 2026

The City and La Habra Heights have agreed to exchange these Prop A funds for General Fund dollars at an agreed upon rate of $0.75 of General Fund dollars per $1.00 of Proposition A funds. This additional revenue for Prop A is included in the Citywide FY 26-27 Budget.

The City will enter into a fund exchange assignment agreement with La Habra Heights to effectuate the exchange. A total of $80,000 of Prop A funds from La Habra Heights allotment will be transferred to Hawaiian Gardens and the City will pay La Habra Heights $60,000 in general fund monies.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Exchange of Prop A Funds is budgeted for FY 2026-2027 with an expense of $60,000 from the General Fund and an increase of $80,000 Prop A Fund revenue.

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation to approve an Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services Agreement with SC Consulting for Information Technology Services to extend the term and increase monthly compensation, and authorize the City Manager to execute the Amendment.

SUMMARY
The City currently contracts with SC Consulting for Information Technology (IT) services.

SC Consulting has provided IT services to the City since 2004. SC Consulting provides prompt, efficient, and reliable technical support to all City Departments.

The term of the City’s existing Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with SC Consulting expired on August 31, 2026. However, SC Consulting continued to provide uninterrupted IT services and the City has continued to compensate SC Consulting at the existing monthly retainer fee for services provided.

This Amendment revises the Agreement to ratify the performance of both the City and SC Consulting after August 31, 2026 through the effective date of the Amendment. The Amendment also extends the term of the Agreement to continue in effect through October 31, 2029. Finally, beginning on November 1, 2026, through October 31, 2029, the Amendment increases the monthly retainer fee for SC Consulting’s IT services to $7,100, an increase of $200 from the current rate of $6,900. The Amendment will be effective as of November 1, 2026.

Agenda Item #B5

Below you will find a list of tasks and duties between new offices and new student computer labs that have been added to my responsibilities that were not part of the original contract. In addition to these tasks and duties I have had to be more vigilant of network security and the risks associated with doing business in today's internet world. Data breaches and ransomware are on the rise with the increase of technology, cloud and online services, due to the fact that businesses of any size can be hacked by using any form of technology, cybercrime is much easier to facilitate than it once was.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Ernesto Marquez, City Manager
BY: Steve Gomez, Director of Public Safety & Community Relations RECOMMENDATION:

RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE AN OVERVIEW OF PUBLIC SAFETY

ENFORCEMENT OF VEHICLE PARKING LAWS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE

CODE INCLUDING THE PROHIBITION ON PARKING IN FRONT OF DRIVEWAYS

SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide information to the public about common vehicle parking rules and prohibitions under the California Vehicle Code enforced in the City and to provide additional background regarding the history and purpose of the prohibition on parking in front of driveways, as set forth in California Vehicle Code Section 22500(e).

The report also describes the City’s outreach and enforcement efforts.

DISCUSSION
Vehicle Parking Laws Enforced in the City
The City’s Public Safety and Community Relations Division is responsible for maintaining public safety, which includes enforcing vehicle parking laws.

The California Vehicle Code includes a number of rules and prohibitions about vehicle parking. Violating these rules and prohibitions can result in a variety of penalties, ranging from fines to having vehicles towed. Some common parking violations include:
• Parking Along a Red Curb – According to California Vehicle Code Section 21458, a red curb indicates no stopping, standing, or parking. Relatedly, California Vehicle Code Section 22500.1 prohibits parking along a fire lane. These prohibitions are generally enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, unless posted signs specifically state otherwise.

Agenda Item #C2
October 14, 2026

Page 2 ends

• Parking During Street Sweeping Hours – California Vehicle Code Section 22507.6 authorizes local authorities to prohibit or restrict parking on particular streets to accommodate the sweeping of those streets. The posted street signs govern the restricted parking hours, even if the sweeper has already passed. • Double Parking – Double parking is illegal in California under California Vehicle Code Section 22500(h), which prohibits stopping, standing, or parking a vehicle on the roadway side of another vehicle already parked at the curb. • Parking in or Blocking Disabled Parking Spaces - Under California Vehicle Code Section 22507.8, it is illegal to commit the following acts in designated parking areas:
o Parking in spaces designated for disabled persons or disabled veterans without a valid placard or special license plate.
o Blocking or obstructing access to an accessible parking space. o Parking on the boundary lines or in the crosshatched loading/unloading zones adjacent to a.
• Parking Near Sidewalk Access Ramp – California Vehicle Code Section 22522, prohibits parking within three feet of any sidewalk access ramp or wheelchair curb ramp if the area is designated by a sign or red paint.
• Parking in Front of and Blocking Driveway - California Vehicle Code 22500(e) prohibits stopping, parking or leaving a vehicle in front of a public or private driveway. Obstructing a private driveway is prohibited even if the driver of a vehicle owns the property or has received permission to do so from the property owner. • Parking More than 18 Inches from the Curb - In California, parking more than 18 inches away from the curb is a violation of California Vehicle Code Section 22502(a).
• Expired or Missing Tags and Registration - In California, driving a vehicle with expired or missing registration tags violates California Vehicle Code Section 5204(a)).
• Parking in the Same Location for 72 Hours - Under California Vehicle Code Section 22651(k), leaving a vehicle parked in the same spot on a public street for more than 72 consecutive hours is prohibited.

Prohibition on Blocking a Driveway
California Vehicle Code Section 22500(e) has been codified in its current form since 1959; however, the prohibition dates back to 1923. It states that no one can stop, park or leave a car on the public street in front of a public or private driveway.

Agenda Item #C2
October 14, 2026

Page 3 ends

Hawaiian Gardens is a densely populated community with high demand for the limited available street parking. Even though street parking is limited, access to driveways must remain clear. Blocked driveways restrict access and create safety concerns for residents and the community. Enforcing California Vehicle Code 22500(e) helps ensure that residents, visitors, and emergency vehicles can readily access and depart private properties as necessary.

Over the past year, the City has received many complaints about vehicles partially or fully blocking driveways. Additionally, since April 2026, the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Lakewood Station, has received 75 phone calls from Hawaiian Gardens residents, reporting that their driveways were blocked by a vehicle.

In response, the City encourages residents to use their garages and driveways for vehicle parking. The City also uses its social media platforms to remind residents that parking in front of a public or private driveway is prohibited. When appropriate, the City issues warnings and citations for violations. Together, these education, outreach and enforcements efforts help ensure the safety of our community.

FISCAL IMPACT
None.

SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve Recommendation.

FROM: Elise McCaleb, Community Development Director
BY: Cielo Frausto-Lupo, Community Development Specialist RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with The Salvation Army for a crisis shelter bed, extending the agreement through May 31, 2027.

SUMMARY
The City of Hawaiian Gardens is using Year 5 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to reserve one (1) crisis shelter bed at The Salvation Army Bell Shelter for an individual experiencing homelessness who is referred by the City’s Homeless Services Liaison. The City received $60,669 in Year 5 PLHA funds and has $28,184 remaining.

Staff recommends extending the agreement with the Salvation Army from August 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, using the remaining Year 5 PLHA funds. The extension will continue to fund one dedicated shelter bed at a rate of $89 per bed per night, for a maximum amount of $28,184.

DISCUSSION
The City currently funds one (1) dedicated crisis shelter bed at the Salvation Army Bell Shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness who are referred by the City’s Homeless Service Liaison. The bed provides a shelter option for individuals while they work with shelter staff on their housing needs and plan for permanent housing. Residents may stay for up to one (1) year.

The Bell Shelter provides shelter, meals, mental health referrals, employment assistance, benefits advocacy, transportation assistance, and other supportive services. These services are intended to help participants address immediate needs and work toward stable housing.
