SPONTANEOUS
COMMUNICATIONS
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda commended Assistant to the City Manager Espino and Mayor Burrola for the success of the recent State of the City event.
MARIANA RODRIGUEZ Mariana Rodriguez thanked the Council for the removal of dead/diseased trees near her house. She also expressed deep concern over what she perceives to be environmental injustices within the community. She alleged that debris from a recent fire is being dumped in the basin pit on Buena Vista and Bateman, and worried about the potential environmental effect such actions would cause.
She stated that these actions would not take place in more affluent communities and wondered how the Council would protect residents.
MAYOR BURROLA Responding to a question by Mayor Burrola, City Manager Miranda advised that he has been informed that the material being transported is natural sediment from undeveloped hillsides and is not from any burn areas. He noted that City and County staff will continue to discuss material transportation activities and noted that, if they drop off sediment, City staff will continue to monitor.
Mayor Burrola requested a report relating the matter to be presented at the next Council meeting.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda thanked City Manager Miranda and stated that she has videos of the fill being transported, which she would present to City staff.
ANONYMOUS An anonymous individual, who indicated that he lives on Park Rose, asked whether the samples being transported are being tested, to which City Manager Miranda advised that County staff has specifically indicated that the material is not coming from a fire

footprint. Rather, it comes from the Sierra Madre debris basin, where they catch sediment, remove it, and transport it to various locations.
ANONYMOUS The anonymous individual questioned the veracity of the information supplied to City staff and suggested that the City conduct its own investigation.
ROSIE BRECEDA Rosie Breceda stated that she belongs to a local community named “DIA” and suggested that the City investigate the class of material being transported.

BESS URGENCY
ORDINANCE NO. 793
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson presented the report.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 23, 2025
REGULAR MEETING PAGE 6
COUNCILMEMBER Councilmember Ambriz stated that it is imperative that the Council AMBRIZ adopt the urgency ordinance since it would give the City the ability to ensure that any BESS facility that is constructed within the City follows stringent rules and regulations that the City enacts.
MAYOR PRO TEM Responding to a question by Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz, Director Simpson ORTIZ advised that this matter relates to an urgency ordinance that the Council could adopt and enact immediately. Afterward, staff would present and recommend another ordinance that would follow the usual steps required for adoption and implementation.
City Attorney Guerra added that tonight’s ordinance would not require a second reading to enact it. He further noted that a regular ordinance would be presented at a future Council meeting that would go through the typical process, and that another urgency ordinance would be presented at the May 8 meeting for adoption and implementation based on the updated Zoning code. Additionally, a Specific Plan for the Gateway Project has already been approved, and staff wanted this ordinance to be in effect for when that Specific Plan takes effect.
Mayor Pro Tem Ortiz asked clarifying questions regarding the maximum height for a BESS substation and landscaping, which Director Simpson expounded on.
MAYOR BURROLA Mayor Burrola asked about the number of storage banks needed to generate 200 megawatts as well as the role of the California Energy Commission in the BESS approval process, to which Director Simpson advised that BESS applicants, through AB 205, may elect to bypass local control and take their application to the California Energy Commission. She noted that this process would cause the City to become a commenting agency with no direct control over the process.
CITY ATTORNEY City Attorney Guerra added that the process involving the CEC, which GUERRA is intended to be a quicker, streamlined process, and would have to go through the CEQA process as well. He noted that the City would not be a participant in the process and would not have any decisionmaking authority, though it could submit comments. Although the applicant would be required to work toward offering some type of benefits to the community, the City may not be a party to that. The intent of tonight’s ordinance is to ensure local regulations to give a developer the option to work with the City. Without the ordinance, there would effectively be no regulations in place for a BESS facility.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda stated that staff is employing scare tactics to pressure the Council into approving the BESS facility. She also stated that the proposed ordinance does not protect the city either.
CARMEN ROMAN Carmen Roman stated that other cities have adopted ordinances to ban BESS facilities altogether and spoke on her opposition to a BESS

facility in Irwindale and suggested that the City prepare to fight the state.
ANONYMOUS An anonymous individual stated that it is ok for the Council to vote against the ordinance if it had doubts.
PAT GONZALES Pat Gonzales noted that approving the proposed ordinance does not approve any specific project. She also discussed her understanding of how a BESS facility operates, encouraged all to obtain a better understanding of the approval process, and thanked City Attorney Guerra for doing a great job.
FRED BARBOSA Fred Barbosa stated that he has not seen any articles proving that a BESS facility would poison the City, though he has seen many articles showing how they would benefit the community.
DIRECTOR SIMPSON Director Simpson clarified that the project would include landscaping around the perimeter of the site, but not around the individual containers. She also clarified that AB 205 is a state law that allows the applicant to bypass the City. She also concurred that this process would allow the City to provide comments only; whether the City’s comments are heard is up to the CEC.
CITY ATTORNEY City Attorney Guerra discussed additional AB 205 provisions. He GUERRA noted that it allows applicants to apply directly to the state and that the certificate that the state issues would be in lieu of any permit that would be required by the City’s land use authority. It would apply to any storage system capable of storing more than 200MW hours and facilities such as a BESS manufacturing facility.
ARON BRANAM Aron Branam with AYPA explained with an illustration that each container would store approximately 1.3 megawatts of power and advised that the site would have practically zero truck traffic, with only light duty pickup trucks and an employee visiting the site to ensure all is operating correctly. He also noted that the proposed ordinance goes beyond the requirements of AB205 and includes important items like those under Senate Bill 38 and stated his belief that the standards put forth would allow businesses to continue operating safely and keep the community safe.
DENA ZEPEDA Dena Zepeda shared the results she obtained when searching for potential BESS problems that she found using artificial intelligence.
She noted that accidents could lead to fire, explosions, and the release of taxic gasses, and stated that the ordinance does not offer protection for residents. She suggested waiting two to three years, once batteries are perfected.
SUZANNE GOMEZ Suzanne Gomez agreed that the Council should not rush to decide and encouraged the Council to pause and revisit the matter in the future.

Item #19.C.
Date: August 27, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approve the Purchase of Two New Vehicles for the Police Department and Waive Formal Bidding Procedure
City Manager's Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-89-3677 entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
IRWINDALE WAIVING FORMAL BIDDING PROCEDURES PER IRWINDALE MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION
3.44.080(f), AND APPROVING THE USE OF ASSET FORFEITURE FUNDS FOR PURCHASE OF A 2026 DODGE DURANGO AND A 2026 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE."
Administrative Action:
Submitted & Prepared by:
Chris Hofford, Chief of Police
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
The Police Department'S fleet contains two vehicles that have passed the end of their serviceable lives and are in need of replacement.
The Detective Bureau is in possession of a 2016 Dodge Charger. Its engine has failed completely and
cannot be repaired. The Administration Division is in possession of a 2008 Dodge Charger that has become unreliable and in need of continual repairs. Detectives need reliable vehicles that are capable of being driven to field investigations, emergency situations, court hearings, and other related tasks in a dependable manner. Administrative personnel require reliable and capable vehicles to support dayto-day operational needs, including emergency response coordination, interdepartmental functions and transportation to regional meetings. Both vehicles being sought are well-suited for these uses due to their safety features, performance, and utility.
The City Council previously appropriated Asset Forfeiture funds to supplement the Irwindale Police Department budget. State and federal law requires these funds to be utilized by the Police Department for law enforcement investigations and operations, training, and/or equipment related to official law enforcement duties.
Irwindale Municipal Code section 3.44.080(F) provides that the City Council may dispense with formal bidding procedures when a purchase is beneficial to the interest of the city and is from a supplier who has been awarded a specific item or items in a contract resulting from a formal competitive bid process by another governmental agency within the State of California or by the federal government within the previous 365 days (one year.)
National Auto Fleet Group was awarded contract #091521-NAF from Sourcewell (formerly known as NJPA) based off a formal bid procedure for a 2026 Dodge Durango and a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse. In NJPA's summary of findings for the awarded Sourcewell/NJPA contract, it found that National Auto Fleet Group has pricing within a competitive range, is a national dealer network representing 15 car and truck manufacturers and has the ability to provide exceptional service. National Auto Fleet Group scored the best against three other bidders in the following categories: pricing, marketplace success, bidder’s ability to sell and service contracts nationally, bidder’s marketing plan, value-added attributes and selection and variety of products and services. Watsonville Fleet Group – a member of the National Auto Fleet Group – is offering the City of Irwindale a 2026 Dodge Durango at the national government multi-year contract price of $57,707.42, and is similarly offering the City of Irwindale a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse at the national government multi-year contract price of $52,392.23. The combined total is $110,099.65.
Both vehicles will require outfitting with emergency lights and sirens. While the purchase of the vehicles themselves can be made by waiving the formal bidding process described above, the purchase and installation of emergency lights and sirens cannot be similarly purchased. As such, and because purchase and installation is expected to cost approximately $10,000 per vehicle, the Police Department is currently seeking competitive bids from suitable vendors. Once a winning bid is identified, the purchase and installation will be conducted and are within the approved expenditure authority of the Chief of Police.
The Police Department's Vehicles Account has a current balance of $87,391.01. In order to support the purchase and outfitting of both vehicles, the Police Department is seeking City Council approval to do a budget transfer from the Asset Forfeiture Large Tools & Equipment Account No. 16-35-370-44500- 0000 to Asset Forfeiture Vehicles Account No. 16-35-370-44400-0000 in the amount of $45,000. This transfer will amply supply the funds needed for the vehicles and emergency equipment needed.
Fiscal Impact:
There will be no impact on the General Fund as purchasing and outfitting this vehicle will be accomplished using Asset Forfeiture funds.

On November 19, 2024, the City Manager, on behalf of the City of Irwindale ("City"), entered into a Contract Services Agreement ("Agreement") with Terra Realty Advisors, Inc. ("Consultant") for updating the existing Billboard Ordinance and its fee study for the City in the amount not-to-exceed
Thirty Thousand dollars ($30,000). Due to the number and scope of applications, analysis, and processes involved, the original contract will need to be amended to increase the contract amount from Thirty Thousand dollars ($30,000) to One Hundred and Twenty Thousand dollars ($120,000). The proposed amendment will provide the necessary funding to cover the additional analysis review required to complete the ongoing processes and procedures needing to be discussed and established.
Irwindale Municipal Code (IMC) 3.44.020 Definition of “Services” exempts professional or other contractual services for which the procedure for procurement is specifically provided by law or approved city procedures or are in their nature unique and not subject to competition. The City has adopted a Purchasing Policy, which sets forth the procurement process for Professional Services. City staff have complied with Irwindale Purchasing Policy Section 5 Professional Consultant Selection requirements such that the contract is exempt from the centralized purchasing requirements of IMC Chapter 3.44, per IMC sections 3.44.060 and 3.44.080(D).
The attached contract agreement amendment has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney's office.
Fiscal Impact:
Adoption of Resolution No. 2025-88-3676 authorizes the Finance Director to amend the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 adopted budget and appropriate One Hundred and Twenty Thousand dollars ($120,000) from the General Fund Reserves.

Date: August 27, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: E-Waste & Declaration of Surplus Equipment
City Manager's Recommendation:
Receive and file.
Administrative Action:
Submitted by:
Theresa Olivares, Assistant City Manager
Prepared by:
Jeffrey Wagner, IT Manager ELECTRONICALLY APPROVED
Reviewed by:
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
The attached list includes computer hardware, electronic devices, radio equipment, aluminum & fiberglass picnic tables, and two large vending machines that have surpassed their useful life and now only occupy storage space, with no remaining marketable value. These items are considered obsolete, damaged, or otherwise unsuitable for City use. In addition, a 2008 Chrysler 300 pool vehicle has also been identified as surplus due to age, mileage, and the prohibitive cost of repairs. Accordingly, the Purchasing Manager has declared all of the above items surplus property in accordance with the
attached declaration.
Section 3.44.150 of the Irwindale Municipal Code outlines the process for disposing of surplus equipment:
1. All departments must submit to the purchasing manager reports showing all equipment no longer used or which have become obsolete or worn out.
2. The purchasing manager makes a declaration of the surplus equipment.
3. The item must be offered for sale on a competitive bid basis after proper notice to the public.
4. After a reasonable effort has been made to obtain competitive bids and no offers are received for any item, the purchasing manager is authorized to dispose of such item for the highest scrap value that can be obtained.
5. If a reasonable effort to do so procures no opportunity to sell the same for scrap, the purchasing manager may cause its destruction or any other disposition.
Staff recommends that the tables and vehicle be sold at public auction, as they may still provide some use and/or generate a monetary return. The remaining items have no meaningful resale value and are best classified as electronic waste (e-waste). Therefore, under the authority of Section 3.44.150, the Purchasing Manager has determined that the most practical method of disposal is through an electronic waste recycler. This matter is presented to the City Council for transparency only - no action is required.
Fiscal Impact:
The listed equipment has no meaningful resale value. Any residual funds generated from e-waste recycling would be nominal, if any, and would be credited to the General Fund.

Background and Analysis:
On July 25, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 659, amending the Irwindale Municipal Code chapters pertaining to billboards to define and establish regulations, including criteria under which digital billboards may be allowed.
On September 25, 2024, the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 785, an urgency ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium on the processing and approval of applications for any and all billboards, new construction of billboards (both static and with a digital display), and the replacement or conversion of static billboards to billboards with a digital display (the “Temporary Moratorium”). During the Temporary Moratorium, staff were directed to study and develop, as necessary, City laws, rules, procedures, and fees related to the replacement or conversion of static billboards to billboards with a digital display and applications for new construction and establishment of billboards. Pursuant to Government Code section 65858, the moratorium remained in effect for forty-five (45) days, expiring on November 9, 2024. Thereafter, state law allowed the City Council to extend the ordinance for ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days and, if necessary, to adopt a second extension for an additional year.
The City Council exempted three applications that were already being processed by staff.
On October 30, 2024, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 789 that extended the temporary moratorium prohibiting the processing of new applications or approvals for any and all billboards for an additional ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days. The following tasks were performed in preparation of an amended ordinance:
1. Created an inventory of existing billboards within the City.
2. Conducted a review of regulations applicable to the regulation of billboards.
3. Studied the location of existing billboards and analyzed the impacts associated with the increase or modification of billboards in areas where they are installed.
4. Studied the annual development fee to determine the need for an increase to mitigate the impacts of the increase in billboards, including the conversion of static billboards to digital display billboards.
5. Performed research on how other cities regulate billboards and the development standards necessary to ensure that they do not have a negative impact on the community.
Proposed Ordinance No. 799
Ordinance No. 799 amends Chapter 17.20 to establish certain development standards consistent with new and/or revised Caltrans Outdoor Advertising Display regulations and refine regulations governing
the design and operation of digital billboards, the application review requirements, and City approval process for digital billboards.
Revisions to the Billboard chapter include:
• Establishing distance requirements based on Caltrans standards • Allowing billboards to exceed height limits due to obstructions and freeway elevation, with City Manager's approval
• Including provisions for billboards on city-owned property • Revising landscaping requirements to remove trees and plants that could obstruct views • Including specifications for lighting requirements consistent with Caltrans standards • Including requirements for soundwalls and visual screens • Requiring digital identification numbers on billboard structures • Establishing specific application requirements and processes • Providing required findings to approve agreements for digital billboards On July 30, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval of Zone Ordinance Amendment No. 01-2025 - Ordinance No. 799.
After the Planning Commission hearing, a correction was made to clarify the requirements for distance separation between billboards. Ordinance No. 799 that is being presented to the City Council includes a revision to Section 17.20.50(4)(h) which was modified in bold and italicized letters and struck through as follows:
New freeway-oriented digital billboards should not be located within one thousand feet (1,000’) of another digital or static billboard on the same side of the freeway. Existing static billboards may not be replaced unless they are outside a minimum five-hundred-foot (500’) buffer of another billboard. For the purposes of this section, measurements shall be made from the closest edge of the sign panel.
Development agreements for a new billboard with digital displays may provide for a reduced buffer, but not less than five hundred one thousand feet (500’) (1,000’) from a static billboard in due consideration of other public benefits provided in the development agreements, including, but not limited to, the concurrent takedown of existing static displays or digital displays within the City.
Environmental Review:
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the City of Irwindale environmental guidelines, the City, as the Lead Agency, has analyzed the project and has determined that the Project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15061 (b)(3), which states that the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is NOT subject to CEQA. In this case, the ordinance has no potential to result in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. The Ordinance does not authorize any
specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries.
Fiscal Impact:
No fiscal impact is anticipated with the adoption of Ordinance No. 799.

The intent of this Chapter is to limit increases in the total number of billboards along the I-210 and I-605 Freeways, and encourage the removal and replacement of existing billboards with newer technology that allows for multiple advertisements, while reducing the need for separate billboard structures.
17.20.020 Applicability
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all off-site outdoor commercial advertising structures, i.e., billboards, within the City.
17.20.030 Development Agreement Required.
1. New Static or Digital Billboards. The construction of a new static or digital billboard, or modification or replacement of an existing billboard with the intent to install new static or digital displays is allowed only upon City Council approval of a Development Agreement, with appropriate standards and public benefits to be negotiated with the City, at City’s sole discretion, which shall also comply with all other standards imposed by this chapter. Billboards constructed on property owned by the City or its related agencies may also be accomplished by a lease agreement or license agreement in lieu of a Development Agreement, and any reference to a development agreement in this chapter shall include leases or licenses on such properties.
2. Repair/ Replacement of Existing Billboards. The repair of billboards with static, non-digital displays is permitted with or without a Development Agreement, or lease or license agreement in commercial, quarry, industrial, or specific plan zones, subject to obtaining appropriate demolition, building, and other required ministerial permits, and complying with all other standards imposed by this chapter.
All existing outdoor commercial advertising structures that are not in compliance with the requirements of this chapter are declared to be nonconforming uses.
Ordinance No. 799
17.20.040 Definitions
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

D. New Construction. The construction of a new billboard (static or digital display) including the sign face and support structure.
E. Repair. The changing of the sign face and/or support structure to a comparable design (like for like) due to damage. A repair shall be limited to static to static or digital to digital.
F. Replacement. The complete replacement or conversion of a static billboard (face and support structure as needed) with a digital display.
G. Static Display. The face of a billboard that has a fixed, printed face; is not digital and does not have a variable message display.
17.20.50 General Standards
The provisions of this section are in addition to any standards imposed by a development license, or lease agreement, provided, however, that where any standard imposed by a Development Agreement, lease or license agreement that differs from the general standards set forth in this section, the standards imposed by the development, lease or license agreement shall apply over the general standards as a matter of public interest.
1. Sign Face Dimensions. The maximum total sign area for any digital billboard shall not exceed six hundred seventy-five square feet (675’) per sign face, excluding border, trim, cutouts, and other special advertising features or additions and base

Background and Analysis:
Project Summary:
Under State law, all local governments in California are required to adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community by adopting a Housing Element as part of the City’s General Plan. State law also requires that local governments update their Housing Element every eight years to periodically address the changing housing needs of the community, establish an action plan, and report on progress toward meeting the goals of the Housing Element. The City’s Housing element was adopted by the City Council in 2013 for the 2013-2021 planning period. The City of Irwindale is updating the Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period. An adopted Housing Element must then be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to
certify that the document meets all requirements under state law.
The most significant update included in the 2021-2029 Housing Element is the identification of sites to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and enhanced housing policies to support housing and affordability consistent with new state statutes. The City’s 6th Cycle RHNA has been significantly increased from the 5th Cycle RHNA allocation issued by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). It is important to note that housing element law does not require a city to build housing units, but rather to demonstrate that the city has the land capacity to address RHNA through a required sites inventory analysis.
The 2021-2029 Housing Element update requires updates to the Community Development Element, which serves as the Land Use Element, and the Safety Element. The Environmental Justice Element is a new element that is now required by State law to be added to the General Plan. The Safety and Environmental Justice Elements are being processed concurrently.
Planning Commission Recommendation:

Community Development Element:
The Community Development Element is Irwindale’s Land Use element of the General Plan. This element and the general plan map will be updated with the adoption of the 2021-2029 Housing Element to include the new residential sites identified in the Housing Element.
Community Outreach:
The preparation of a Housing Element is driven by requirements for community input under State law Government Code Section 65583(c)(7) that requires local governments to make diligent efforts to
solicit public participation from all economic segments of the community in the development of the Housing Element.
The Irwindale public participation process included:
• A community housing survey
• A community workshop (in-person and virtual participation) held on April 7, 2022 to provide an overview of the Housing Element update process and solicit community input • A City Council study session (in-person and virtual participation) on April 25, 2022 to brief the City Council on the Housing Element update process and solicit community input • A community workshop (in-person and virtual participation) held on May 25, 2022 to begin engaging the community on identification of housing opportunity sites for 2021 to 2029 • A City Council study session on June 22, 2022 seek City Council direction on housing opportunity sites for 2021 to 2029.
• A follow-up City Council study session on July 13, 2022 to obtain City Council direction on housing opportunity sites for 2021 to 2029
• Notices in the City Manager’s Weekly Update
• Informational flyers throughout the process on the Housing Element, Safety Element, and Environmental Justice Element
• A dedicated webpage for the project

On June 30, 2025, California Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 131 (SB 131) and Assembly Bill 130 (AB 130, two budget trailer bills that significantly modify the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). These bills were effective immediately. SB 131 exempts local governments from CEQA review for rezoning actions that implement an adopted housing element, so long as the rezoning complies with local planning and zoning laws. Under existing law, a decision to rezone certain land could trigger
a CEQA review. SB 131 eliminates CEQA review where the local government seeks to align a zoning designation with the locality’s approved housing element. More specifically, Section 21080.085 was added to the Public Resources Code (PRC), to read:
21080.085. (a) This division does not apply to a rezoning that implements the schedule of actions contained in an approved housing element pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 65583 of the Government Code.
Per SB 131 and PRC Section 21080.085, while the rezoning to align with the City’s Housing Element is exempt from CEQA review the Program EIR evaluated the Housing Element and future development and operation of the housing units that could be developed as a result of the Project. The mitigation measures, which will reduce potentially significant impacts during the construction and operation of the future housing remain relevant and applicable to individual future housing development projects in the City.
Zone Ordinance Amendment:
The proposed Zone Ordinance Amendment will amend Chapter 17.04 Residential Zoning Districts to add a section for Residential Overlay as a zone district. The base zoning district will remain, but the overlay will allow for residential development to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA requirements.
CEQA/Program Environmental Impact Report:
The City of Irwindale (City), as lead agency pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), has prepared a Draft Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) for the proposed City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element and General Plan Update (Project). The Project would amend the City’s General Plan and Zoning Code to implement the City’s 6th cycle 2021–2029 Housing Element (Housing Element), update the Safety Element, and create a new Environmental Justice (EJ) Element.
A Final Program Environmental Impact Report has been prepared to analyze environmental impacts, discuss feasible alternatives and recommend mitigation measures related to implementation of the proposed Housing Element and General Plan Update. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that local government agencies consider the environmental consequences before taking action on projects over which they have discretionary approval authority.
An environmental impact report (EIR) analyzes potential environmental consequences in order to inform the public and support informed decisions by local and state governmental agency decision makers. Certification of a PEIR will enable the City of Irwindale to adopt the 6th Cycle Housing Element in compliance with State law and update the Community Development Element and Safety Element and add the Environmental Justice Element to the General Plan.
The Final PEIR includes the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP). The MMRP also includes mitigation measures to be followed when construction is proposed. The Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations is also part of the PEIR.
Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the City of Irwindale environmental guidelines, the City, as a Lead Agency, analyzed the project and the Environmental Impact Report (“PEIR”) State Clearinghouse (SCH#
2023120387) was prepared.
Purpose of the Program EIR
The primary intent of CEQA is to ensure that public agency decision-makers document and consider the environmental implications of their actions in order to avoid or minimize environmental damage that could result from the implementation of a project wherever feasible, and to balance environmental, economic, and social objectives. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15121, the purpose of an EIR is to serve as an informational document that: “… will inform public agency decisionmakers and the public generally of the significant environmental effect of a project, identify possible ways to minimize the significant effects, and describe reasonable alternatives to the project.” The purpose of this Draft PEIR is to inform decision-makers and the general public of the potential programmatic environmental impacts resulting from the Project. The City is the lead agency under CEQA and is responsible for preparing this Draft PEIR. This Draft PEIR has been prepared in conformance with CEQA (California Public Resources Code [PRC] Section 21000 et seq.), and the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq.) and the City’s procedures for implementing CEQA. The principal CEQA Guidelines sections governing content of this document are Sections 15120 through 15132 (Contents of an EIR), and Section 15168 (Program EIR). This Draft PEIR serves the following purposes:
• To satisfy CEQA requirements for analysis of environmental impacts by including a complete and comprehensive programmatic evaluation of the physical impacts of adopting and implementing the Project;
• To recommend a set of measures to mitigate any significant adverse impacts; • To analyze a range of reasonable alternatives to the Project; • To inform decision-makers and the public of the potential environmental impacts of the Project prior to taking action on the Project, and to assist City officials in reviewing and adopting the 2021-2029 Housing Element, Safety Element, EJ Element and Zoning Code Update; and • To provide a basis for the review of subsequent development projects and public improvements proposed within the City. Subsequent environmental documents may be tiered from the PEIR.
The Project consists of policies, diagrams, and standards to guide land use and development decisions for the City, as described in greater detail in Chapter 2, Project Description. Chapter 4, Environmental Impact Analysis, of this Draft PEIR contains analysis of all potential environmental impacts expected to result from implementation of the policies and programs provided in the Elements, including those policies that serve to avoid or minimize potentially adverse environmental impacts. In accordance with CEQA requirements, the Draft PEIR also identifies and evaluates mitigation measures in an effort to mitigate potentially significant impacts where feasible. Chapter 5, Alternatives, of this Draft PEIR contains an analysis of alternatives to the Project, including an analysis of the No Project Alternative, which represents the continued implementation of the current General Plan. An environmentally superior alternative has also been identified as part of the alternatives analysis.
The FEIR analyzed the environmental impacts to the following study areas:
• Aesthetics (Chapter 4.1)
• Air Quality (Chapter 4.2)
• Biological Resources (Chapter 4.3)
• Cultural Resources (Chapter 4.4)
• Energy (Chapter 4.5)
• Geology & Soils (Chapter 4.6)
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Chapter 4.7)
• Land Use and Planning (Chapter 4.8)
• Noise (Chapter 4.9)
• Population and Housing (Chapter 4.10)
• Public Services (Chapter 4.11)
• Transportation (Chapter 4.12)
• Tribal Cultural Resources (Chapter 4.13)
• Utilities and Service Systems (Chapter 4.14)
Based on the Initial Study, which is contained in Appendix A of the Draft PEIR and public comments received during the NOP circulation period, it was determined that multiple issue areas, Agriculture and Forestry Resources, Geology and Soils (all except for paleontological resources), Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Mineral Resources, Recreation, and Wildfire would not be subject to potentially significant impacts due to implementation of the Project. Four comment letters were received from the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC), and the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
A Lead Agency is required to adopt a “reporting or monitoring program for changes to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment” (Public Resources Code Section 21081.6). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15097(a) requires that a public agency adopt a program for monitoring or reporting mitigation measures and project revisions, which it requires to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects.
The mitigation measures included in the PEIR as certified by the City serve that function. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), which is provided with Exhibit B, includes all the mitigation measures adopted by the City in connection with the approval of the Project and has been designed to ensure compliance with such measures during implementation of the Project. The mitigation measures will be implemented, as applicable, during the future development and operation of the housing that will result from the Project. In accordance with the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the City hereby adopts the MMRP.
Statement of Overriding Considerations
Three (3) areas were determined to have significant and unavoidable impacts during construction.
These are 1) Air Quality, 2) Cultural Resources, and 3) Noise. A Statement of Overriding Considerations is a document required under CEQA when a project is approved despite having significant and unavoidable environmental impacts. It explains why the benefits of the project outweigh those environmental drawbacks. This statement must be a written finding, based on the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FPEIR) and other evidence, detailing the specific reasons for approving
the project despite the identified negative impacts. Findings of Fact and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) has been prepared and is included with the PEIR.
Fiscal Impact:
Fiscal Impact:
The City’s adoption of the updated Housing Element will ensure compliance with State Law requirements. The adoption of the Zone Ordinance Amendment, Zone Changes, and Zoning Map entitlements will implement several actions in the 2021-2029 Housing Element, remove constraints on housing development and incentivize affordable housing. Additionally, it is instrumental in maintaining the City’s Housing Element compliance and Prohousing Designation. A compliant Housing Element along with the Prohousing Designation ensures that the City remains competitive for state affordable housing grants and continues to maintain local land use control.

Residential Land Uses
in Irwindale
Approximately 59.67 acres of the City’s total land area is committed to residential development. The Town
Center neighborhood, located near the Civic Center
and Parque del Norte, represents the greatest
concentration of homes in the City with 378 housing
units. The great majority of the remaining residential
neighborhoods are located in the vicinity of the Civic
Center area (in the Southeast Planning Area), in the
Northwest Planning Area near Duarte Avenue, along
Vincent Avenue in the Southeast Planning Area, and
along Park Avenue near Baldwin Park. These latter
two areas are also located within the Southeast
Planning Area. Overall, there are eight distinct
residential neighborhoods found in the City. A
significant number of housing units have been added
to the City’s inventory as part of previous
redevelopment activities. With the exception of the
Las Casitas senior apartments, the remainder of the
homes in the City consist of detached single-family
homes. Irwindale’s Zoning Ordinance contains three
residential zone districts and two additional zone
districts that permit residential uses. These zone
districts include the following:
● R-1: Single Family Residential. This zone district
is the most restrictive residential zone, permitting
one single-family home per lot. This zone also
contains base standards that are applicable to
the remaining zone districts.
● R-2: Light/Multiple Residential. In addition to
permitting those uses permitted under the R-1
zoning, this district also permits two units on a lot.
● R-3: Heavy/Multiple Residential. This zone
district permits multiple family development
including apartments and condominiums. The
Las Casitas senior housing complex is the only
area of the City that is zoned R-3.
● A-1: Agricultural. Residential uses corresponding
to that permitted under the R-1 zone are also
permitted in this zone district. In addition, the
keeping of certain farm animals and livestock is
also permitted in the A-1 zone. The majority of
the residentially developed parcels in the City are
included in this zoning category.
● C-3: Heavy Commercial Residential. This zone
district permits either of the uses that are
permitted in the R-1 and C-2 zone districts.
• RO - Residential Overlay. This zone permits
the underlying existing zone to remain.
Residential is added as an overlay,
consistent with the 2021-2029 Housing
Element
The City of Irwindale adopted its first zoning
ordinance in 1966. Previously, the City had relied on
the County’s zoning that existed prior to incorporation.
A direct outgrowth of this earlier County zoning is the A-1 zone designation that was used to permit both the
traditional single-family residential development in
addition to limited agricultural uses and the keeping
and raising of farm animals. The R-2 Zone has only
recently been applied to the Hidalgo/Juarez
residential neighborhood. As indicated previously, the
R-3 zone appears in only one location, the site of the
Las Casitas senior housing development. As
indicated previously, there are eight distinct
residential neighborhoods found in the City. These
individual neighborhoods are described below and on
the following pages.
● Town Center Neighborhood. This neighborhood
is located in the Southeast Planning Area, near
the Civic Center, and Irwindale Park. This
neighborhood is bounded by Arrow Highway on
the north and Irwindale Avenue on the west. The
Town Center neighborhood is the largest
residential neighborhood found within the City
with 216 single-family homes and 16 multiplefamily units. These multiple-family units are contained within the Las Casitas senior housing
development. The single-family homes occupy
33.89 acres. A number of these homes were
“move-on” houses that were relocated onto the
existing lots from other areas of Irwindale or from
other cities. The Community Redevelopment
Agency has also assisted in the development of
four housing projects within this neighborhood.
● Hidalgo/Juarez Neighborhood. This
neighborhood is located along Hidalgo Street and
Juarez Street, west of the Town Center
neighborhood. This residential neighborhood is
located within the Southeast Planning Area,
south of Arrow Highway and west of Irwindale
Avenue. Within this neighborhood, are 49 homes
occupying approximately 5.64 acres. A total of
27 homes are located along Juarez Street while
22 units are located along Hidalgo Street.
Fourteen lots within this neighborhood are
developed with single units; however six lots
developed as single-family have sufficient lot
area to accommodate additional housing.
● Nora/Fraijo Neighborhood. The Nora/Fraijo
