La Puente City Council
June 23, 2026

The proposed agreement has a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 and will provide wraparound services for up to 75 participants. The program utilizes a reimbursement-based structure under which the City will only be invoiced for services that are delivered and documented.

Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate.

Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (Statutory Limits) and Employer’s Liability Insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000.00).

Consultant shall submit to City, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers.

Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance to City as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein, along with a waiver of subrogation endorsement for workers’ compensation. Insurance certificates and endorsement must be approved by City’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with City at all times during the term of this contract. City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the contract insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, his agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the City.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that City and its officers, officials, employees, and agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.

Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review.

City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 1 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
Section 1 Introduction

1.1 Background
State housing law requires local governments to adequately facilitate the improvement and development of housing to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. This is partly achieved through periodic comprehensive updates to the Housing Elements of locally adopted General Plans. The latest updates to Housing Elements cover the planning period of 2021–2029, also known as the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update.

On February 22, 2022, the City of La Puente (City) City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-5690 approving General Plan Amendment No. 21-02 for the 2021–2029 Housing Element (approved project) and adopting the associated Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND)1 in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Final IS/ND contains a comprehensive disclosure and analysis of potential environmental effects associated with the implementation of the approved project.

Through preparation of the Final IS/ND, the City determined that the approved project would have no or less than significant environmental impacts and that no mitigation measures would be required.

Since the adoption of the Final IS/ND, modifications to the approved project have been proposed. These modifications include zoning amendments to encourage housing development to meet the established City commitments under the approved project. This Addendum to the Final IS/ND addresses the proposed modifications in relation to the potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the approve project analyzed in the Final IS/ND. The Final IS/ND and its supporting documents are incorporated herein by reference.

1.2 Approved Project
The approved project consists of the adoption and implementation of the City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element, which updated the City’s 2013–2021 Housing Element. The 2021–2029 Housing Element is an integral component of the City’s General Plan, as it addresses existing and future housing needs of all types for people of all economic segment groups in the City. The 2021–2029 Housing Element serves as a tool for decision-makers and the public to understand and meet the City’s housing needs. Although the law does not require local governments to construct housing to meet identified needs, it does require that the community address housing needs in its discretionary planning actions.

The approved project applies to properties within the municipal boundaries of the City. The City is approximately 20 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley and is bordered by the City of West Covina to the north, the unincorporated Los Angeles County community of Valinda to the north and east, and the City of Industry to the south and west. Regional access to the City is provided via Interstate 10 and State Route 60. La Puente has been fully urbanized for many years, and development is 1 City of La Puente. 2022. Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration, La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element. Adopted February 22.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 2 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
characterized primarily as a residential community with a mix of housing types, commercial and industrial businesses primarily along major highways and streets, and public institutional and open space uses.

California Government Code, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 10.6, Section 65580–65589.8, establishes the legal requirements for a Housing Element and encourages the provision of affordable and decent housing in suitable living environments for all communities to meet statewide goals. The 2021–2029 Housing Element, a policy document, identifies the City’s current and future housing needs and presents the City’s goals, policies, and programs to address those identified needs.

California Housing Element law requires that each city and county develop local housing programs designed to meet their “fair share” of housing needs for all income groups. The California Department of Housing and Community Development Housing Policy Division develops the Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNAs) for each region of the state, represented by councils of governments. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) determines the housing allocation for each city and county within its six-county jurisdiction, which includes Los Angeles County. SCAG assigned the City a housing allocation of 1,929 units.

The City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element, Section 4, Housing Resources, provides details regarding:
• Availability of sites for housing.
• Financial resources.
• Administrative resources.
• Opportunities for energy conservation.

The City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element’s Residential Sites Inventory summarizes the sites available in La Puente to accommodate the remaining RHNA through residential recycling primarily through infill developments on residentially zoned lots, on vacant land, and within the Downtown Business District.

The City’s 2021–2029 Housing Element, Section 5, Housing Plan, provides guidance for City decisionmakers to achieve the Housing Element’s long-term housing objectives. The Housing Plan identifies goals, policies, and programs to provide additional housing opportunities, remove governmental constraints to affordable housing, improve the condition of existing housing, and present equal housing opportunities for all residents. The programs identify the methods, agencies, officials, funding sources, and time frames the City will use to implement the policies and achieve the 2021–2029 Housing Element’s goals.

The programs addressed in this Addendum are found on pages H-69–H-72 of the 2021–2029 Housing Element and include the following:
• Program 3a: Adequate Sites to Accommodate the RHNA and Monitoring of No Net Loss (includes Religious Congregational Sites Overlay)
• Program 3b: Replacement Housing Requirement
• Program 3c: By-Right Approval of Projects with 20 Percent Affordable Units on “Reuse” Housing Element Sites

Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 3 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
The Final IS/ND does not address the site-specific impacts of future housing projects under the approved project. Future housing development proposals will be subject to a development review process and subsequent project-level environmental review as projects are proposed.

1.3 Modified Project
California Government Code, Section 65583(c)(1)(A), states that cities have up to 3 years from adoption of a Housing Element to rezone sites, including adopting minimum density and development standards.

To comply with state housing law and the City’s certified 6th Cycle Housing Element (i.e., the 2021–2029 Housing Element), the City must create streamlined pathways for housing development. Therefore, the City proposes to implement components of 2021–2029 Housing Element Programs 3a, 3b, and 3c through the adoption of a General Plan Amendment and Zoning Code Amendment. These proposed changes include the following:
• Program 3a: Religious Congregational Sites Overlay Program. The City would amend its Zoning Code to establish a Religious Congregational Sites Overlay Program that allows by-right development of affordable housing to be integrated on specific sites with existing religious facilities.

Housing would be developed in accordance with standards stipulated in California Government Code, Section 65583.2(h) and (i), related to acreage, allowable density, and minimum number of units.
• Program 3b: Replacement Housing Requirement. Development on nonvacant sites with existing residential units would be subject to a replacement requirement, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1397.

The City would amend its Zoning Code to require the replacement of units affordable at the same or lower income levels as a condition of any development on a nonvacant site, consistent with the State Density Bonus Law.
• Program 3c: By-Right Approval for Reuse Sites. Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1397, passed in 2017, the City would amend its Zoning Code to require by-right approval of housing development that includes 20 percent of the units as affordable to lower income households on “reuse sites” identified in the prior Housing Element and used to meet the 6th Cycle RHNA. The approved project assumes sites in the Downtown Business District identified in the 6th Cycle Housing Inventory would be subject to this requirement.

The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zoning Code Amendment would remove discretionary barriers, such as public hearings, for eligible affordable housing projects on specific parcels. Refer to Appendix A, Figures, for maps identifying initial sites that qualify under Programs 3a and 3c. No changes to the previously approved 2021–2029 Housing Element sites would occur as a result of this Addendum.

Other sites not identified on these maps may still qualify and be added in the future.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 4 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
The proposed Zoning Code Amendment (specifically, to Title 10, Zoning, of the La Puente Municipal Code) would establish the following regulatory frameworks:
• New Chapter 10.21: Religious Congregational Sites Overlay District. − This amendment would create a new overlay zone (Program 3a) applied to specific institutional parcels.
• New Chapter 10.51: Replacement Housing Units.
− This amendment would codify State Housing Element Law related to the replacement of housing units identified in Program 3b to prevent net loss of housing stock during redevelopment, require one-for-one replacement of demolished dwelling units with equal or greater bedroom count, and provide relocation assistance and rights-of-return for tenants of Protected Units. • New Chapter 10.52: Housing Element Sites.
− This amendment codifies the “by-right” mandate of California Government Code, Section 65583.2(i), for sites identified in Program 3c.

Together, the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zoning Code Amendment constitute the “modified project” evaluated in this Addendum. In summary, the modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement the programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element (i.e., the approved project).

1.4 Discretionary Approvals Required
The City of La Puente, as the lead agency under CEQA, will use this Addendum to the Final IS/ND to make decisions regarding the adoption and implementation of the following:
• General Plan Amendment
• Zoning Code Amendment
Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 5 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
Section 2 California Environmental Quality Act Requirements CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15162–15164, discuss a lead agency’s responsibilities once an ND has been adopted.

CEQA Guidelines, Section 15162, states the following:
(a) When an [Environmental Impact Report] EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete or the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR;
(C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

In the alternative, where the changes or new information will result in no new impacts, or no more severe impacts than any that were disclosed in the Final EIR, a lead agency “shall prepare an addendum” pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15164, which states the following:
(a) The lead agency or responsible agency shall prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. (b) An addendum to an adopted negative declaration may be prepared if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary or none of the conditions described in Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR or negative declaration have occurred.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 6 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
(c) An addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the final EIR or adopted negative declaration.
(d) The decision making body shall consider the addendum with the final EIR or adopted negative declaration prior to making a decision on the project.
(e) A brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant to Section 15162 should be included in an addendum to an EIR, the lead agency’s findings on the project, or elsewhere in the record. The explanation must be supported by substantial evidence.

As the lead agency for the approved project, the City must determine if the modified project would result in previously undisclosed significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously disclosed impacts (14 CCR 15162, 15163, 15164[a], 15088.5[a], and 15088.5[b]).

As discussed in the following sections, preparation of this Addendum to the Final IS/ND is appropriate pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Section 15164.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 7 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
Section 3 Evaluation of Environmental Impacts
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, Sections 15162 and 15164, this Addendum No. 1 documents that the modified project’s effects have been adequately addressed in the Final IS/ND. This section summarizes the approved project’s impacts identified in the Final IS/ND for each environmental issue area, evaluates any changes in those impacts resulting from the modified project, and identifies if new mitigation measures would be required. Each environmental issue area is discussed in the same order as presented in the Final IS/ND.

The approved project is a policy document that does not change land use designations or, in and of itself, authorize any development in the City. Although the City is required by state law to facilitate development consistent with its allocated share of regional housing needs, the approved project does not authorize a change in the location or nature of allowable development.

The modified project would establish by-right approval of qualifying housing development projects on sites identified in the 2021–2029 Housing Element that meet specific criteria. Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 65583.2(i), “by-right” means a use or development that is permitted without discretionary review and that is subject only to objective standards. Approval of a by-right development shall be ministerial and, therefore, would not be subject to additional review under CEQA. Development for by-right housing projectsisstill subject to application and staff-level review by the City’s Planning Division.

Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize specific development on sites identified under Programs 3a and 3c or replacement housing under Program 3b. The modified project would not include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including those intended to minimize environmental impacts, required as part of the development review processes.

3.1 Aesthetics

3.1.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to aesthetics are discussed in Section 4.1 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the City is considered an urbanized area. All areas of the City, including hillside areas, contain existing development that is primarily housing. No scenic vistas, trees, rock outcroppings, or state scenic highways occur in the City. The Final IS/ND concluded that implementation of the approved project would not have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista, substantially damage resources within a state scenic highway, conflict with zoning or other regulations governing scenic quality, or adversely affect daytime or nighttime views. No mitigation was required.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 8 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element

3.1.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with all applicable regulations and objective development standards, including those related to aesthetics/design, lighting, and glare. No new significant aesthetics impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.2 Agriculture and Forestry Resources

3.2.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to agriculture and forestry resources are discussed in Section 4.2 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have no impact on agriculture and forestry resources. The California Department of Conservation categorizes the entire City as “Urban and Built-Up Land.” No land in the City is identified, zoned, or designated for agricultural use, forest land, timberland, or under a Williamson Act contract. No mitigation was required.

3.2.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, the modified project would have no impact on agriculture and forestry resources. No new significant agriculture and forestry impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.3 Air Quality

3.3.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to air quality are discussed in Section 4.2 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have a less than significant impact on air quality. The City is within the South Coast Air Basin, which is a non-attainment area for federal and state criteria air pollutants, including ozone, particulate matter less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). Future development proposals facilitated by the 2021–2029 Housing Element programs have the potential to result in pollutant emissions. The City would ensure each future development proposal is reviewed, if applicable, to confirm consistency with applicable federal, state, and local air quality standards; the applicable Air Quality Management Plan; General Plan goals, policies, and standards relative to air quality; standard California Building Code requirements; state and federal regulations; and South Coast Air Quality Management District rules and programs. No mitigation was required.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 9 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element

3.3.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including South Coast Air Quality Management District rules, building codes, and site design requirements. Future by-right development would be consistent with underlying land use designations and, therefore, consistent with the applicable Air Quality Management Plan. No new significant air quality impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.4 Biological Resources

3.4.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to biological resources are discussed in Section 4.4 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have no impact on biological resources. The City has been fully urbanized for many years. As such, the City does not contain habitat supporting special-status plant or wildlife species, riparian habitat, federally protected wetlands, or wildlife corridors. The City does not have local policies protecting biological resources and is not within an approved habitat conservation plan. No mitigation was required.

3.4.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, the modified project site does not contain biological resources, and the modified project would have no impact on biological resources. No new significant biological resources impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.5 Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources

3.5.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources are discussed in Section 4.5 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of historical, archaeological, and Tribal Cultural Resources. The approved project would not disturb any human remains. There is one building listed on the National Register of Historic Places – La Puente Valley Woman’s Club at 200 N. First Street. The City is largely built out and does not contain any known archaeological resources, and no such resources had been discovered during prior development activity. No formal cemeteries exist in the City. Regarding the level of past disturbance associated with development throughout the City, it is not anticipated that human remains exist in the City. The City sent letters via email for the purposes of Senate Bill (SB) 18 and Assembly Bill 52 consultation to nine Tribes on Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 10 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
June 16 and June 17, 2021. At the conclusion of the notification period, the City received no requests for SB 18 or Assembly Bill 52 consultation. No mitigation was required.

3.5.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include a proposed General Plan Amendment and, therefore, would be subject to SB 18 consultation with California Native American Tribes traditionally associated with the area. On March 5, 2026, the City sent SB 18 consultation notification letters via certified mail to Tribal contacts provided on a list from the Native American Heritage Commission. On March 11, 2026, Chief Andrew Salas of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation formally requested consultation.

On March 12, 2026, Brandy Salas of the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation stated that the Tribe has no objections to the implementation of 2021–2029 Housing Element programs but requests notification before future ground-disturbing activities. Consultation with the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians – Kizh Nation is ongoing. No other Tribes have requested consultation to date.

The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, the modified project would have the same impact on Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources. Although qualifying future projects may be approved by-right, development would be subject to applicable regulations governing the protection of Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources, such as the National Historic Preservation Act; Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act; California Historic Building Code; California Health and Safety Code, Section 7050.5; and Native American Historic Cultural Sites (California Public Resources Code, Section 5097 et seq.), which would be assessed on a project-by-project basis. No new significant Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.6 Energy

3.6.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to energy are discussed in Section 4.6 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have no impact related to energy. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and development standards, including but not limited to the most current adopted version of the California Building Code and California Green Building Standards Code, along with project-specific standards required during the development review process.

No mitigation was required.

3.6.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including the most recent building and Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 11 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
energy standards at the time of development. No new significant energy impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.7 Geology and Soils

3.7.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to geology and soils are discussed in Section 4.7 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have a less than significant or no impact related to geology and soils. The City, similar to the rest of California, is within a seismically active region. Although no AlquistPriolo Earthquake Fault zones exist in the City, several major faults within a 50‑mile radius of the City can produce substantial effects from ground shaking. The City has been urbanized for many years, with risks related to seismic-related ground failure, landslides, substantial soil erosion, and unstable soils minimized through development requiring site-specific geotechnical investigations and compliance with the most recent California Building Code. Additionally, the City does not contain any known paleontological resources. No mitigation was required.

3.7.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, future development facilitated by the modified project would be exposed to the same geological conditions analyzed for the approved project. The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals.

Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including the most recent building code and standards for geotechnical/structural safety and erosion prevention. No new significant geology and soils impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.8 Greenhouse Gas Emissions

3.8.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are discussed in Section 4.8 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have a less than significant impact related to GHG emissions. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and development standards, including but not limited to the most current adopted version of the California Building Code and California Green Building Standards Code, along with project-specific standards required during the development review process. In addition, the City’s General Plan includes eight resource conservation and water quality policies that support actions to reduce the use of resources and energy and, thus, the creation of GHG emissions. Future development proposals would be subject to these policies, as applicable. No mitigation was required.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 12 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element

3.8.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations, objective development standards, and General Plan policies, including the most recent building and resource conservation standards at the time. No new significant GHG emissions impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.9 Hazards and Hazardous Materials

3.9.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to hazards and hazardous materials are discussed in Section 4.9 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would result in a less than significant impact related to hazardous materials and no impact related to airport hazards and emergency plans. Businesses that use, transport, or dispose of hazardous materials are required to comply with federal, state, and local hazardous materials regulations. Specifically, truck traffic, including trucks that transport chemicals, is restricted to designated routes per the City’s Ordinance 10.24.030. No properties in the City are included on the California Department of Toxic Substances Control Hazardous Waste and Substances List (Cortese List). However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency identifies portions of the City within the San Gabriel Superfund Site Area 4, which contains contaminated groundwater and soil. The cleanup status is active. Separately, there are several leaking underground storage tanks in the City that have the potential to negatively affect groundwater quality. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable policies, regulations, and development standards related to potentially hazardous materials, including soil remediation. Additionally, the approved project would not impair the City’s Emergency Operations Plan, and the approved project site is not within 2 miles of an airport. No mitigation was required.

3.9.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, future development facilitated by the modified project would be exposed to the same potentially hazardous conditions analyzed for the approved project related to San Gabriel Super Fund Site Area 4 and routine use, transport, or disposal of hazardous materials in the City.

Similarly, the modified project would not impair the City’s Emergency Operations Plan, and the modified project site is not within 2 miles of an airport. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including site-specific conditions related to potentially hazardous materials and requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for development within San Gabriel Superfund Site Area 4. No new significant Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 13 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
hazards and hazardous materials impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.10 Hydrology and Water Quality

3.10.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to hydrology and water quality are discussed in Section 4.10 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have a less than significant impact related to water quality, groundwater supplies, and drainage and no impact related to flood hazard, tsunami, or seiches inundation. Future development proposals would be required to provide for the elimination and reduction of pollutant discharges, including capture and treatment of dry weather and first-flush runoff in a manner consistent with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements.

Stormwater discharges must comply with applicable provisions of Los Angeles County’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. As a co-permittee, the City is responsible for implementation of the requirements of the NPDES permit issued to Los Angeles County. Consistent with Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board/NPDES and City requirements, appropriate water quality best management practices would be required. Design of future development proposals would also be subject to drainage standards such as Low Impact Development standards, runoff capture and control features, and stormwater conveyance. No portion of the City is within a 100‑year floodplain or tsunami hazard zone or would be subject to inundation by seiche. No mitigation was required.

3.10.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including the water quality standards of the NPDES permit and site drainage design standards. The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, future development facilitated by the modified project would not be within a 100‑year floodplain or tsunami hazard zone or subject to inundation by seiche. No new significant hydrology and water quality impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.11 Land Use and Planning

3.11.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to land use and planning are discussed in Section 4.11 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would not physically divide an established community or cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect. Implementation of the approved Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 14 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
project would not provide for new land uses that would divide communities (such as new highways or utility corridors). Future development proposals, including those by-right, would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards. No mitigation was required.

3.11.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified within the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including the Zoning Code Amendment implemented by the modified project. Additionally, the modified project would provide for future new housing opportunities that would not divide communities. No new significant land use and planning impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.12 Mineral Resources

3.12.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to mineral resources are discussed in Section 4.12 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have no impact on mineral resources because no known state or locally designated mineral resources or locally important mineral resource recovery sites exist in the City. No mitigation was required.

3.12.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, the modified project would have no impact on mineral resources. No new significant mineral resources impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.13 Noise

3.13.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to noise are discussed in Section 4.13 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have a less than significant impact related to ambient noise levels and groundborne vibration and no impact related to airport noise. Typically, residential uses do not generate high noise or vibration levels. Future development proposals would be required to comply with applicable policies, regulations, and development standards related to noise. Additionally, the City is not within an Airport Land Use Plan or within 2 miles of a public airport or public use airport. No mitigation was required.

Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 15 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element

3.13.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals, including those by-right, would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including those that apply to noise receiving and generation, such as the City’s Municipal Code Chapter 4.34, Noise Regulations. The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project and, therefore, would not be subject to excessive airport noise levels. No new significant noise impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.14 Population and Housing

3.14.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to population and housing are discussed in Section 4.14 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have a less than significant impact related to population and housing. The approved project is consistent with SCAG’s Regional Growth Forecast and RHNA for the City. The approved project aims to preserve existing housing stock while encouraging development of underutilized and vacant properties with existing housing. Any housing displacement would be evaluated on a future project-by-project basis. No mitigation was required.

3.14.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element consistent with SCAG’s Regional Growth Forecast and RHNA for the City. Therefore, growth induced by the modified project would not be considered unplanned growth. Future redevelopment proposals may result in the removal of existing housing.

However, the modified project would implement Program 3b of the 2021–2029 Housing Element. The modified project would codify State Housing Element Law related to the replacement of housing units identified in Program 3b to prevent net loss of housing stock during redevelopment, require one-for-one replacement of demolished dwelling units with equal or greater bedroom count, and provide relocation assistance and rights-of-return for tenants of Protected Units. Therefore, the modified project would not displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing. No new significant population and housing impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.15 Public Services

3.15.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to public services are discussed in Section 4.15 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would result in a less than significant impact on fire protection, police Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 16 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
protection, schools, parks, and other public facilities. The approved project is a policy-level document and, as such, does not include any site-specific development designs or proposals. However, it does include policies and programs that would facilitate the production of future housing development. As such, new housing units associated with future development proposals could require additional public services. The City evaluates fire and police protection service levels and adjusts budgets accordingly to meet identified demand and service goals. This process would continue through the life of the approved project. With continued application of these programs, the City would be able to address anticipated increased service demands. New residents in the future housing developments could place an increased demand on school facilities within the Hacienda La Puente School District. As allowed by state law, the school district collects fees for new residential construction to help offset the costs of providing additional education facilities and services. Such fees would be paid by developers at the time individual building permits are issued. Pursuant to SB 50, payment of fees to the school districts is considered full mitigation for project impacts. No mitigation was required.

3.15.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals, including those by-right, would be required to comply with applicable regulations and objective development standards, including demand for public services, such as applicable development impact fees. The City has been fully urbanized for many years, with established development in existing public service areas throughout. No new significant public services impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.16 Recreation

3.16.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to recreation are discussed in Section 4.16 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would result in a less than significant or no impact on parks and recreational facilities. The approved project is a policy-level document and, as such, does not include any site-specific development designs or proposals. However, it does include policies and programs that would facilitate the production of future housing development. As such new housing units associated with future development proposals could require affect recreational facilities. Future development would be required to comply with applicable regulations and development standards as they relate to recreation requirements. No mitigation was required.

3.16.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified within the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create Exhibit E-1

Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 17 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. The modified project presents opportunities to include pocket parks and joint use agreements with future redevelopment of underutilized sites, consistent with the City’s Community Resources Element of the General Plan. No new significant recreation impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.17 Transportation

3.17.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to transportation are discussed in Section 4.17 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would result in a less than significant impact related to transportation.

The approved project would neither significantly impact the effectiveness or performance of existing pedestrian, bicycle, or multipurpose trail facilities nor limit the accessibility for pedestrians or future cyclists or their ability to use existing facilities. Future development proposals would be required to comply with City and Los Angeles County Fire Department design standards regarding safe access and circulation. No mitigation was required.

3.17.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals, including those by-right, would be subject to preliminary review for transportation assessment requirements (including non-CEQA assessments for level of service) and City and Los Angeles County Fire Department design standards regarding safe access and circulation. No new significant transportation impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.18 Utilities and Service Systems

3.18.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to utilities and service systems are discussed in Section 4.18 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would result in a less than significant impact related to water facilities, water supply, wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage, electric power, telecommunication facilities, and solid waste. The approved project is a policy-level document and, as such, would not include any site-specific development designs or proposals. However, it would include policies and programs to facilitate the production of future housing development. As such, new housing units associated with future development proposals could require additional utilities. Future development proposals would be required to install or relocate, as applicable, on-site and off-site water, wastewater,storm drain,street, electricity, natural gas, and telecommunications infrastructure to serve the development. Future development proposals would comply with the requirements of the applicable Exhibit E-1
CEQA Addendum
Addendum No. 1 to the Final Initial Study/Negative Declaration 18 April 2026 La Puente 2021–2029 Housing Element
water supplier and wastewater treatment provider, as well as City solid waste reduction and diversion code requirements. No mitigation was required.

3.18.2 Modified Project
The modified project consists of actions required by the City to implement established programs identified in the adopted 2021–2029 Housing Element. Although the modified project would create regulatory pathways to facilitate new housing development in the City, it would not authorize or include specific development proposals. Future development proposals, including those by-right, would be subject to review during the application process for the provision of adequate utilities to serve the proposal. Similarly, future development would comply with City solid waste reduction and diversion code requirements during construction and operation. No new significant utilities and service impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

3.19 Wildfire

3.19.1 Approved Project
Impacts related to wildfire are discussed in Section 4.19 of the Final IS/ND. As analyzed in the Final IS/ND, the approved project would have no impact related to wildfire. The City is not within a wildland urban interface area, Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone, or State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone. No mitigation was required.

3.19.2 Modified Project
The modified project would include the same municipal boundaries of the City as analyzed for the approved project. Therefore, the modified project would have no impact related to wildfire. No new significant wildfire impacts would occur beyond those identified in the Final IS/ND; no new mitigation would be required.

Agenda Item No. D.9
To: Mayor and City Council For meeting of: June 23, 2026 From: Bob Lindsey, City Manager
By: Troy Grunklee, CPA, Director of Administrative Services Subject: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 26-5995 AND

AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PERSONNEL SYSTEM FOR FULL-TIME

POSITIONS TO AUTHORIZE FUNDING AND ADD AN ADDITIONAL SENIOR

MAINTENANCE WORKER

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City of La Puente, on July 1st of each year, adopts salary resolutions for full-time and part-time employees to authorize positions and salary ranges to ensure adequate staffing for the fiscal year. On May 26, 2026, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-5995 establishing the number of authorized full-time positions and salary ranges for City employees that will begin on July 1, 2026.

City staff are recommending adding an additional Senior Maintenance Worker. The primary purpose of this additional Senior Maintenance Worker will be completing small scale sidewalk repair jobs throughout the City working alongside the current Senior Maintenance Worker. This will allow the City to complete more sections of sidewalks in a shorter period and lessen the dependence on contractors to complete the work. Currently, the City schedules sidewalk work in conjunction with grind and overlay and slurry seal projects. This position would allow the City more independence in completing side walk repairs outside of major street projects and allow for more focused sidewalk repairs therefore minimizing potential liabilities.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for authorizing the Full-Time Senior Maintenance Worker for the fiscal year would be approximately $130,000 and would be funded using a combination of Measure M (Fund 203) and Measure R (Fund 205).

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) adopt Resolution No. 26-6007 rescinding Resolution No. 26-5995 amending the comprehensive personnel system; and (2) provide any necessary direction to Staff.
