D. Ordinance No. 2025-06 – Regulation of Group Homes and Sober Living Homes (Development Services)
Ordinance Number 2025-06 is recommended for City Council adoption. At its regular meeting of August 18, 2025, the City Council introduced the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-06, an amendment to Title 5 (Business Licenses and Regulations) and Title 17 (Zoning) of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code concerning the regulation of group homes and sober living facilities. The City of Los Alamitos has seen a slight increase in the number of sober-living facilities operating in its single-family parcels. As a result, the City has received comments and concerns from members of the public regarding the strength of local regulations governing these facilities. Absent such regulations, surrounding communities have reported adverse impacts from these facilities, including but not limited to: noise, excessive debris/trash, second-hand smoke, loitering, traffic, increased parking demands, and the clustering of group homes near each other. The proposed Ordinance seeks to regulate group homes and sober living facilities to address issues and concerns while providing both a safe space for individuals to recover from drug and alcohol addiction, and preserving the residential character of neighborhoods. At its June 25, 2025, meeting, the Planning Commission, by Resolution, recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 2025-06.
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2025-06, entitled, “AN

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 13, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 10B
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Chet Simmons, City Manager
Subject: Consideration of Opposition to Proposition 50: Legislative Congressional Amendment Regarding Congressional Redistricting
SUMMARY
Consider adoption of a resolution setting forth the City Council’s official position in opposition to Proposition 50.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-32, entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN OFFICIAL POSITION OF OPPOSITION TO PROPOSITION 50 ON THE NOVEMBER 2025 BALLOT".
BACKGROUND
On August 21, 2025, California Senate Bill No. 280 was signed into law, calling a special election on November 4, 2025, to consider Proposition 50 - Authorizes Temporary Changes to Congressional District Maps in Response to Texas' Partisan Redistricting. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
If approved, Proposition 50 authorizes temporary changes to the California Congressional District Maps through 2030. Traditionally, redistricting occurs once every ten years, after the United States Census. The current Congressional Districts were certified in December of 2021.
According to the official voter Information guide provided by the Secretary of State, a YES vote on this measure means the state would use new, legislatively drawn congressional district maps starting in 2026. California’s new maps would be used until the California Citizens Redistricting Commission draws new maps following the 2030 U.S. Census.
A NO vote on this measure means: Current congressional district maps drawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission) would continue to be used in California until the Commission draws new maps following the 2030 U.S. Census.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the City is part of Congressional District 45, represented by Congressman Derek Tran. The City and its officials maintain a strong and collaborative relationship with Congressman Tran and his office. However, Proposition 50 threatens to divide established communities by redrawing district boundaries in a way that splits cities and counties across
multiple congressional districts—diluting their collective voice in Congress.
Proposition 50 undermines the integrity of California’s voter-approved framework for fair redistricting. It compromises the transparency and independence of the redistricting process, which are essential to maintaining public trust in our electoral system. In line with the City's adopted 2025-2026 Legislative Platform, Council is being asked to consider opposition to Proposition 50.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AN
OFFICIAL POSITION OF OPPOSITION TO
PROPOSITION 50 ON THE NOVEMBER 2025 BALLOT
WHEREAS, Proposition 50, appearing on the November 2025 California ballot, proposes to amend the California Constitution to alter the process for drawing congressional districts; and,
WHEREAS, the current process, established by voters, assigns the responsibility for drawing congressional districts to the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission, designed to operate in a non-partisan manner; and,
WHEREAS, Proposition 50 would transfer the authority to draw congressional districts from the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to the State Legislature; and,
WHEREAS, the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission was created to ensure fair and impartial district boundaries, including safeguards to keep cities, counties, and local communities together; and, WHEREAS, Proposition 50 would remove existing safeguards intended to maintain the integrity of local communities in the redistricting process; and, WHEREAS, Proposition 50 proposes dividing communities, forcing some cities and counties to be split among multiple congressional districts under the measure’s new maps and diminishing their voice in Congress; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Los Alamitos recognizes the importance of maintaining a transparent and independent redistricting process to uphold public trust in electoral systems; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Los Alamitos believes that Proposition 50 undermines the voter-approved framework for fair redistricting in California.
NOW, THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS
ALAMITOS DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
CC RESO 2025-32

PROPOSITION AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY CHANGES TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS IN RESPONSE TO TEXAS’ PARTISAN REDISTRICTING. 50 LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. 50 ★ ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION 50 ★
STOP TRUMP FROM RIGGING THE 2026 ELECTION
Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are making an
unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats and rig the 2026 election before voting even begins.
Other Republican states are following suit. They want to steal enough seats to control Congress even if voters overwhelmingly reject their agenda.
This isn’t politics as usual. It’s an emergency for our democracy.
ENSURE FAIR REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS
We have already seen how Trump has recklessly imposed tarifs and hurt California families, denied disaster assistance to fre victims, and ordered mass arrests without warrants. The 2026 election for Congress represents our only chance to provide an essential check and balance on Trump’s dangerous agenda.
If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years. Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, will put a stop to their anti-democratic scheme.
Here’s what it does.
• LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD. Prop. 50 makes sure the 2026 mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing feld without an unfair advantage for Republicans.
• COMMITS TO FAIR REDISTRICTING. Prop. 50 reafrms
California’s commitment to independent redistricting and calls for a nationwide commitment to fair and impartial maps. • GIVES VOTERS THE POWER. Prop. 50 puts the power in the hands of the People of California, not backroom politicians, to approve emergency congressional district maps in response to Trump’s election rigging scheme.
• IS FAIR AND PROPORTIONAL. Prop. 50 provides emergency maps only because Republicans moved forward with their power grab.
• IS TEMPORARY. These maps expire in 2030. Prop. 50
preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reafrms the California Citizens Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. If Republicans rig the election and steal control of Congress next year, they’ll continue to eliminate healthcare for millions of Americans, slash funding for schools, and cut essential services for veterans to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.
PROTECT DEMOCRACY IN ALL 50 STATES
California has a duty to defend democracy. To do that, we can’t unilaterally disarm or fght with both hands tied behind our backs. When Trump tries to rig elections, we must fght back with every tool available.
Prop. 50 draws fair maps that represent California’s diverse communities and ensure our voices aren’t silenced by partisan gerrymandering in other states.
California leads the nation in protecting voting rights and fair elections. When other states try to silence our voices and rig the system, we must respond decisively.
Join President Barack Obama, Governor Gavin Newsom,
Senator Alex Padilla, Senator Adam Schif, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, election experts, independent redistricting commissioners, Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, California veterans, teachers, and nurses.
Vote YES on Prop. 50 to stop Trump’s election rigging scheme.
Vote YES for checks and balances.
Vote YES to protect democracy in all 50 states.
Governor Gavin Newsom
U.S. Senator Alex Padilla
U.S. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi
★ REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF PROPOSITION 50 ★
THE WRONG PATH—NO ON PROP. 50
We know American democracy is on fre, but accelerating
gerrymandering only adds fuel! Politicians are seizing this crisis to justify a power grab.
PROP. 50 DOES NOT DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY
Prop. 50 is not a magic pill to cure the nation’s ills. It claims to protect democracy, yet diminishes our communities’ voices and is inefective against any overreach of presidential power. Vote NO.
California gerrymandering allowed the Legislature to draw partisan seats without transparency or citizen input, solely to protect incumbents. By 2001, the government was gridlocked, with legislators held hostage to the extremes of their parties.
Voters rose up and handed line-drawing over to citizens, resulting in:
• Competitive Districts: Previously safe seats now must be earned.
• Better Representation: Women in the Legislature doubled, Asian representation tripled, Black representation nearly doubled, and Latino seats grew by 8%.
• Government for the People: With more moderate
representatives, the Legislature passed bipartisan legislation, working for the interests of all Californians.
WE THE PEOPLE
Districts do not belong to either party; they belong to the People.
But, party bosses want to call the shots—again. NO to a “pay-toplay” system.
Prop. 50 says this is “temporary,” yet the Legislature will bypass the independent Citizens Redistricting Commission again in 2028, 2030—and perhaps beyond. Don’t be fooled.
Legislators drew this map behind closed doors for you to rubberstamp. It is not your choice.
Vote NO on partisan gerrymandering. Vote NO on Prop. 50.

LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. 50
★ ARGUMENT AGAINST PROPOSITION 50 ★ 50
PROPOSITION 50: A POWER GRAB BY POLITICIANS
Prop. 50 was written by politicians, for politicians. Prop. 50 dismantles constitutional safeguards that keep election maps fair. It removes requirements to keep cities, counties, and local communities together, and eliminates voter protections that ban maps designed to favor incumbents or political parties—putting politicians back in charge of drawing their own districts, or those of their friends.
A “NO” vote protects fair elections and keeps the people of California—not politicians—in charge of redistricting.
NO ON PROP. 50: IT REPEALS LANDMARK VOTER-APPROVED
ELECTION REFORMS
For decades, Sacramento politicians drew their own district boundaries behind closed doors with no public oversight— guaranteeing their reelection, denying voters a real choice, and shutting out many women and people of color from elected ofce.
In 2008, California voters approved historic election reform— creating the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission. Voters decided district lines should be drawn by a balanced panel of everyday citizens—not by politicians who stood to beneft.
Prop. 50 throws out citizen-drawn congressional maps created through a transparent public process with input from over 35,000 Californians. Instead, politicians secretly drew maps— leaving voters with NO real say.
NO ON PROP. 50: ANOTHER SCHEME TO PERMANENTLY END
INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING
In 2008 and 2010, the Democratic Party and special interests spent millions of dollars to stop citizen redistricting. Later, the California Republican Party even sued to overturn citizen-drawn maps—and lost. Now, Sacramento politicians are scheming to regain control with Prop. 50.
Make no mistake: Prop. 50 is not temporary. For over half a decade, politicians get to impose their gerrymandered maps.
Worse, it sets a dangerous precedent—opening the door for Sacramento to keep drawing election maps beyond 2031—
giving politicians permanent power to shield themselves and their allies from accountability for California’s high cost of living, skyrocketing housing costs, and rising energy bills.
NO ON PROP. 50: DON’T BE MISLED BY POLITICAL SPIN
The same politicians who opposed independent redistricting from the start now claim Prop. 50 will “save democracy.” In truth, Prop. 50 weakens fair representation by shutting the public out and bringing gerrymandering back to California.
Prop. 50 is not democratic; it gives voters a take-it-or-leave-it decision on the most partisan maps in California’s history—a product of politicians’ secretive backroom deals with ZERO meaningful public engagement.
Prop. 50 divides communities to beneft politicians, splitting counties 114 times and cities 141 times—far more than the citizen-drawn maps.
“When politicians gerrymander, they divide our neighborhoods and weaken the voice of communities of color. Whatever happens in Texas, we cannot save democracy by destroying it in California.
Vote NO on Prop. 50.”—Reverend Mac Shorty, Civil Rights Leader NO ON PROP. 50: A MASSIVE WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY
The Legislature has called a special election just to pass this politician-protecting constitutional change—costing taxpayers $200,000,000.
With a massive budget defcit, Sacramento politicians are making painful cuts to health care, housing, education, and public safety. Instead of protecting important programs, they’re spending it on a political power grab.
Vote NO on Prop. 50.

WARNING: NO ON 50 IS BACKED BY TRUMP EXTREMISTS
Who’s spending millions against Prop. 50?
An anti-choice mega-millionaire named Charles Munger Jr. who wants to help Donald Trump and Red State Republicans rig the 2026 elections and hand Trump unchecked power for two more years.
Independent redistricting commissioners, election experts, and leading civil rights organizations—from the NAACP to the National Democratic Redistricting Committee—urge you to reject the lies spread by NO on 50’s phony front groups.
Lie #1: “Prop. 50 repeals landmark voter-approved election reforms.” This is plainly false. Prop. 50 calls on all states to end partisan gerrymandering and reafrms the power of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw the lines after the next census.
Lie #3: “Prop. 50 puts politicians back in charge of drawing their own districts.” Untrue. Prop. 50 puts power to approve emergency maps in the hands of voters, not politicians.
Lie #4: “Prop. 50 permanently ends independent redistricting.” Also untrue. Prop. 50 is a temporary and proportional response to Trump’s election-rigging scheme and expires in 2030.
Californians cannot allow Donald Trump and Texas Republicans to rig the 2026 election and silence our voices.
Vote YES on Prop. 50.
Protect democracy, preserve nonpartisan redistricting and ensure a fair election in all 50 states.

Lie #2: “Prop. 50 removes requirements to keep cities, counties, Nikki Davis Milevsky, President Sacramento City Teachers Association and local communities together.” Prop. 50 does the opposite, keeping MORE cities and counties combined, and communities together than California’s existing maps.

Senate: Ayes 30 Noes 8
Assembly: Ayes 57 Noes 20
ANALYSIS BY THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST
BACKGROUND
U.S. CONGRESS
U.S. Congress. The U.S. Congress is the part of the
federal government that makes laws. Congress has
two parts: the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of
Representatives (House). Each of the 50 states is
represented by 2 senators, with 100 senators in
total. The House has 435 members. The number
of representatives in the House for each state
depends on how many people live in that state.
Each member in the House represents an area of
the state called a congressional district. California
currently has 52 congressional districts. Voters
who live in each congressional district elect one
member of the House every two years to represent
them. The next election for all 435 representatives
will be in 2026.
U.S. Census Counts States’ Populations Every Ten
Years. The number of people living in an area goes
up and down over time. Every ten years, the U.S.
Census counts the number of people who live in
the U.S. The last census was in 2020, and the next
census is in 2030. This count is used to determine
how many people live in each state and how many
representatives in the House each state gets for the
next ten years.
CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING
Each State Draws Congressional District Maps
Following the U.S. Census. Every ten years, after
the U.S. Census is completed, states draw new
congressional district maps to refect their number
of House representatives and where people live.
This process is called “redistricting.” Each state
decides what process to use to draw its new
district maps. When drawing new maps, each
state must follow federal laws. For example, each
congressional district in the state must represent
about the same number of people.
States Typically Do Not Redistrict Sooner Than
Every Ten Years. States typically only draw
congressional district maps every ten years, unless
a court orders changes to comply with the law.
In August 2025, however, the Texas Legislature
passed a bill to adopt new maps for the 2026
elections without a court order. Several other states
also are considering changes to their maps before
the 2026 elections.
8 | Title and Summary / Analysis
PROPOSITION AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY CHANGES TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS IN RESPONSE TO TEXAS’ PARTISAN REDISTRICTING.
LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. 50 50
ANALYSIS BY THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST
Congressional Redistricting in California. State
legislatures draw congressional district maps in
most states, but some states use commissions to
do this job. Before 2010, the California Legislature
drew the state’s congressional district maps.
In 2010, California voters gave this job to an
independent commission known as the California
Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission).
The Commission includes 14 members:
5 Democratic members, 5 Republican members,
and 4 members who are not registered with either
of those political parties. When the Commission
draws new congressional district maps, it must
follow federal and state laws. For example, state
law requires, among other things, the Commission
to avoid splitting up neighborhoods or local
communities of interest to the extent possible.
State law also prohibits the Commission from
considering political parties, current ofce holders,
or people running for ofce when it draws the
maps.
Current California Congressional Districts. The
Commission drew the current maps for California’s
52 congressional districts. These maps were based
on the 2020 U.S. Census and have been used since
the 2022 congressional elections.
PROPOSAL
CALIFORNIA’S CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS
Use Legislatively Drawn Congressional District
Maps Until After the Next Census. Proposition 50
replaces California’s current congressional district
maps with new, legislatively drawn maps. (The total
number of districts would not change.) Proposition
50’s maps must follow federal law, but they are not
required to follow the state requirements placed on
the Commission. The state would use Proposition
50’s maps for congressional elections starting in
2026. The state would use these maps until the
Commission draws new district maps, following the
2030 U.S. Census.
NATIONAL CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING
Call for Change in Federal Law. Proposition 50
asks the U.S. Congress to change federal law and
propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to
CONTINUED
require redistricting be done by “fair, independent,
and nonpartisan redistricting commissions
nationwide.” Proposition 50 expresses voter
support for this idea, but does not change federal
law or require any particular action of Congress or
the California Legislature.
FISCAL EFFECTS
Minor One-Time Costs to County and State
Elections Ofcials. Counties run elections, and the
state oversees them. Because most congressional
districts in California would change at least some
under the new maps, county and state elections
ofcials would need to update election materials.
This would result in one-time costs to counties of
up to a few million dollars statewide and one-time
costs to the state of roughly $200,000. The state
amount is much less than one-tenth of 1 percent
(0.1 percent) of the state’s roughly $220 billion
General Fund budget. (The General Fund is the
account the state uses to pay for most public
services, including education, health care, and
prisons.)

proposed congressional districts (1) statewide,

City of Los Alamitos
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 13, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 10C
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Craig Koehler, Director of Finance
Subject: Budget to Actual Comparison for Quarter 1 of Fiscal Year 2025-26
SUMMARY
Budget to Actual Comparison for Quarter 1 of Fiscal Year 2025-26.
RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Budget to Actual Comparison of Quarter 1 for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
BACKGROUND
During the budget adoption process, staff were directed to provide budget-to-actual comparisons throughout the fiscal year to keep the Budget Standing Committee and City Council informed of spending trends and to support timely adjustments as needed. This item was reviewed by the Budget Standing Committee at its Special Meeting on October 6, 2025, with no concerns raised.
DISCUSSION
The City Council review the budget-to-actual comparison for Quarter 1, Fiscal Year 2025-26.
This represents a high-level comparison of budget-to-actual expenditures for the period July through September 2025. The reports are being presented at two levels: one as a summary, and one with additional detail. The reports provide information on how expenditures and revenues are tracking for the first three months of the fiscal year (July–September), or roughly a 25% benchmark.
It is important to note that during the first 60–90 days of the fiscal year, accruals and adjustments are made for the prior fiscal year for auditing purposes that may affect the current fiscal year. In addition, many major revenue categories are not linear and are based on when receipts are recorded or at defined times during the fiscal year, like property taxes, which typically are received in the latter half of the fiscal year.
Additional budget to actual updates are planned for the balance of the fiscal year: Quarter 2 (October–December) at Mid-Year, Quarter 3 (January–March) in April, and Quarter 4 (AprilJune) at the end of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 and in conjunction with the audit.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 13, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 10D
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Ron Noda, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director Britney Ramirez, Management Analyst
Subject: Amendment No. 12 - Bus Shelter License and Maintenance Agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC
SUMMARY
The item seeks approval of Amendment No. 12 with Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC, (Clear Channel) to extend bus shelter license and maintenance services beyond the current agreement's expiration on December 31, 2025, to June 30, 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 12 of the Professional Services Agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC, with no fiscal impact and a term expiring on June 30, 2026.
BACKGROUND
Bus shelters are an amenity provided at transit stops, providing cover from sun or weather, seating, and information about the transit system. The City currently has 19 bus shelter locations operated and maintained by the current contractor, Clear Channel. All 19 bus shelter locations have ad boxes that provide the capability to market City events, display public service announcements, and other information provided by City partners.
Clear Channel has provided bus shelters and maintenance services to the City since 1991, with the current Professional Services Agreement (PSA) secured by a Request for Proposals (RFP) in 2006. Pursuant to the Agreement, Clear Channel purchased and installed 19 new bus shelters at no cost to the City. Clear Channel solicits advertising for the shelters and allows the City a limited use of advertisement space at no cost. Clear Channel maintains the shelters and benches twice per week, keeping them free of litter, graffiti, debris, and will sweep, clean, and empty trash receptacles as often as necessary to keep the bus shelters functional.
In August 2021, staff issued RFP 2021-09 to solicit bids from qualified contractors to construct and install new bus shelters, maintain all shelter locations, and manage related advertising operations at no cost to the City. At the January 21, 2025, City Council meeting, staff presented Amendment No. 11 to the agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC, which was approved to extend the contract term through December 31, 2025.
DISCUSSION
Amendment No. 12 is now proposed to extend the agreement through the end of the Fiscal
Year, June 30, 2026. The additional time will support a more thorough review of options for the City’s bus shelter program. Approval of this amendment will ensure uninterrupted service while staff prepare future recommendations for Council consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

LICENSES AND REGULATIONS) OF THE LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING THE REGULATION OF UNATTENDED DONATION BOXES."
BACKGROUND
The City Council most recently updated Title 17 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code in November 2019. Since that time, staff has developed a list of desired code amendments.
These changes, included in proposed Ordinance No. 2025-11, are recommended to implement best practices and comply with recent developments in state law. Proposed Ordinance No. 2025-12 would add new regulations to Title 5 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code to impose reasonable regulations on the operation of donation boxes.
DISCUSSION
Zoning Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 25-03
Since the 2019 Zoning Code Update, Staff has kept an ongoing register of Zoning Code sections that need to be reinserted, revised, or clarified. The table below outlines those changes proposed for approval by the City Council. On August 27, 2025, the Planning Commission considered the zoning ordinance amendment at a duly noticed public hearing and recommended City Council approval of Ordinance No. 2025-11.

Thrift Stores
As noted in the table above, the proposed zoning code amendment would make changes concerning the location of thrift stores. These changes are made in response to AB 2632, which was passed into law in 2024 and became effective January 1, 2025. This law prohibits cities “from classifying or otherwise treating thrift retail establishments differently than non-thrift retail establishments, subject to certain limitations” (Gov't Code section 65630(b)). The Los Alamitos Municipal Code (LAMC) currently defines secondhand stores as a "Personal Services, Restricted" use requiring a CUP in all commercial and industrial zoning districts.
Therefore, based on the guidance provided in State law, staff is recommending allowing thrift stores as a permitted uses, similar to other retail uses, and the addition of a new section to the LAMC which includes operational standards for thrift stores.
The addition of Section 17.28.290 (Thrift Stores) allows for regulations which are consistent with state law and reduce or eliminate secondary impacts related to the use. Government Code Section 65632(d) indicates that reasonable local rules related to the collection or receipt of used and donated items may be imposed. Accordingly, staff is recommending that thrift stores be allowed in the C-O, G-G, and P-L-I zones, subject to the following operational standards.
• The delivery and storage of goods or donations must be conducted entirely indoors. • Donations may only be accepted during business hours; no drop-off of donated goods may occur outside of business hours; thrift stores may not operate between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
• The donation process must be supervised and operated by employees of the thrift store.
• Any donated, discarded, or illegally dumped items left outside the building must be removed immediately.
• Signs and outdoor display must comply with Chapters 17.26 and Section 17.28.210 of the LAMC, respectively.
• Donation acceptance areas shall be clearly marked and must provide vehicular circulation which does not interfere with shopping center ingress, egress, or parking, and may not queue onto adjacent property or the public right-of-way. • Equipment utilized in the collection, receipt, processing or disposal of used and donated goods is subject to the restrictions of Chapter 17.20 (Noise) and shall be operated in accordance with all applicable noise standards; noise generating equipment shall not be operated between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. or on Sundays or Federal Holidays.
Title 5 Donation Box Regulations
A donation box is an unattended bin, box, container, storage shed, trailer, receptacle, or similar facility used for soliciting and collecting donations of clothing or other salvageable personal property. The zoning code amendment would also make changes concerning donation boxes.
Specifically, donation boxes would be added as a permitted use in the CO, C-G, P-L-I, and TCMU zoning districts, subject to the proposed Title 5 Donation Box Regulations. These changes stem from recent federal court decisions holding that a city may not prohibit these uses, but may impose reasonable content-neutral regulations on donation boxes. Therefore, staff is recommending the addition of chapter to Title 5 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code concerning the regulation of donation boxes. Key provisions of the new chapter include, without limitation:
• It shall be unlawful to operate a donation box without first obtaining a city-issued permit. • Donation boxes may not be located within 1,000 feet of another donation box, or on the same parcel as a thrift store.
• Donation boxes may not block or impede vehicular or pedestrian traffic or obstruct required parking.
• Permit holders and property owners are each responsible for maintaining the donation box in good condition, secure, and free from graffiti.
• The area surrounding a donation box must be free and clear of litter. • Dumping of oversized items, E-waste, and hazardous waste is prohibited.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

b) This Ordinance will not be detrimental to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or welfare of the City.
ZOA 25-03 will enhance the public convenience, health, interest, safety, and welfare of the City by creating an internally consistent Zoning Code, which will aid staff in its uniform application and efficient administration of the Zoning Code. ZOA 25-03 includes clarification of the locations where thrift stores and donation boxes are permitted.

WHEREAS, the Development Services Director has initiated an amendment to Title 17 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code (the “Code”) in accordance with Section 17.58.020 of the Code; and,
WHEREAS, in 2024, the California legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill 2632 (AB 2632) which imposes new limitations on how local agencies may regulate thrift stores that sell secondhand or donated items; and,
WHEREAS, Federal Courts have ruled that a total ban on charitable donation boxes violates First Amendment protections, but that local agencies may impose reasonable content-neutral regulations on such uses; and, WHEREAS, the City desires, among other things, to update the Code to comply with AB 2632 and Federal case law; and,
WHEREAS, additionally, the City desires to amend the Code to update front yard landscaping requirements and screening of mechanical equipment consistent with best practices; and,

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
LOS ALAMITOS DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission finds that the above recitals are true and correct.
4928-8778-7105, v. 1
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 25-03 based on the following findings, as specified in Section 17.58.060 of the Los Alamitos Municipal Code:
a) This Ordinance ensures and maintains internal consistency with the actions, goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan, and would not create any inconsistencies with the Zoning Code.
ZOA 25-03 does not conflict with any of the actions, goals, objectives, or policies of the General Plan and will not create any inconsistencies with the Zoning Code. This Ordinance corrects omissions, clerical errors, and adds provisions to clarify application of the City’s zoning regulations, consistent with the General Plan, to ensure uniform application and efficient administration of the Zoning Code.
b) This Ordinance will not be detrimental to the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or welfare of the City.
ZOA 25-03 will enhance the public convenience, health, interest, safety, and welfare of the City by creating an internally consistent Zoning Code, which will aid staff in its uniform application and efficient administration of the Zoning Code. ZOA 25-03 includes clarification of the locations where thrift stores and donation boxes are permitted. Thrift stores will be subject to operational standards, and this Ordinance anticipates City Council adoption of business licensing and regulatory standards for donation boxes. Collectively, these provisions will ensure that these uses will not adversely affect surrounding properties or the surrounding environment.
c) This Ordinance has been reviewed in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s environmental review procedures.
ZOA 25-03 is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Sections 15060 (c) (2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Approval of Zoning Code Text Amendment CA 25-032 would not approve any development project or prompt any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. d) The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code.
4928-8778-7105, v. 1
ZOA 25-03 is intended to ensure internal consistency within the Zoning Code.
SECTION 3. The Secretary of the Planning Commission shall certify as to the adoption of this Resolution.

MEETING DATE: October 13, 2025 ITEM NUMBER: 12A
To: Mayor Shelley Hasselbrink & Members of the City Council Presented By: Ron Noda, Assistant City Manager/Development Services Director Subject: 2025 Building Standards Code and Fire Code Adoption
SUMMARY
At its regular meeting of September 15, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2025-07 and Ordinance 2025-08. The first Ordinance 2025-07 is with regard to adopting the 2025 California Building Code and our local amendments to that code. The second Ordinance 2025-08 is with regard to the 2025 California Fire Code and local amendments as provided by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA).
After adoption by Council, the Building & Safety Division is required to file these ordinance documents with the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC), where they will review them for acceptance. During their review, the CBSC identified a few minor errors and informed the Building & Safety Division that certain items must be corrected prior to final acceptance.
RECOMMENDATION

2. City Attorney Daudt read the title of Ordinance No. 2025-09, entitled, "AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 15.04 OF TITLE 15 OF THE LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24) CONSISTING OF: THE 2025 CALIFORNIA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE, INCLUDING APPENDIX J; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, INCLUDING APPENDICES BF AND CI; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA ELECTRICAL CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA MECHANICAL CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA ENERGY CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA EXISTING BUILDING CODE; THE 2025 CALIFORNIA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE; THE 2025 WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE CODE AND THE 2025

3. City Attorney Daudt read the title of Ordinance No. 2025-10, entitled , "AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
CHAPTER 15.08 OF TITLE 15 OF THE LOS ALAMITOS MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADOPTING THE 2025 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE (CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 24, PART 9), INCLUDING APPENDICES B, BB, C, AND CC, TOGETHER WITH CERTAIN AMENDMENTS, ADDITIONS, AND DELETIONS."
BACKGROUND
The State’s Health and Safety Code (Section 17958) mandates that the California Building Standards Commission adopt and publish the California Building Standards Code (Title 24 California Code of Regulations) every three years. The State Health and Safety Code also requires local governments to adopt the most recent editions of building standards codes related to construction. The Development Services Department recommended the latest changes and modifications for the 2025 California Building Standards Code and the California Fire Code be made at the City Council Meeting that was held on September 15, 2025.
DISCUSSION
Following the City Council's approval of the 2025 code update, the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) found minor clerical errors and reported back to the Development Services Department/Building and Safety Division that those items must be corrected before final acceptance. These errors include:
1. A Building Code amendment is listed in the body of the document, but not in the Findings Summary at the end of the document.
2. References to Fire Code section numbers that were changed in the latest California Fire Code, but not updated in our Ordinance 2025-08 document.
3. An update to a referenced section in the Building Code Ordinance. This reference is regarding Wildland Urban Interface (WUI), where the CBSC requested some verbiage be changed due to the WUI no longer being its own chapter, but instead its own code book.
Adoption of the proposed ordinances attached to this report will correct the minor clerical errors noted by the CBSC.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

902.4 ABATEMENT CRITERIA
902.4.1 NOTICE OF DETERMINATION. Except as provided in Section 902.4.2 below, the Building Official must serve a written Notice of Determination to each property owner as found on the latest available copy of the last equalized assessment roll. Such Notice of Determination must be delivered by hand-delivery, telephone, telegram, facsimile or other reasonable means, and must clearly indicate that the structure is an imminent hazard and dangerous and that, as such, it constitutes a public nuisance. The notice must set forth those factors which, in the opinion of the Building Official, make the structure an imminent hazard and dangerous, and must also include a directive from the Building Official of the specific action or actions to be taken by the property owner. The Notice must specify that within 48 hours from the time of issuance of the Notice of Determination, the owner or other party of record with an equitable or legal interest in the property must abate the nuisance in accordance with the directives written in the Notice of Determination by the Building Official.
902.4.2 NOTICE OF DETERMINATION EXCEPTION. No prior notice is required, when the Building Official, after considering all the facts, determines, in writing, that the structure is an imminent hazard and dangerous, and that it must be abated immediately and that time and circumstances do not permit the giving of prior notice to the owner. In those cases where time and circumstances do not permit the city to give the owner notice prior to abatement, the Building Official may cause the nuisance to be summarily abated.
902.4.3 APPEAL OF NOTICE OF DETERMINATION. A Notice of
Determination delivered by the Building Official, that a building or structure is an imminent hazard and dangerous and therefore must be abated, may be appealed by the property owner or any other party of record with an equitable or legal interest in the property. Such appeal must be made to the Building Official within 48 hours of delivery of such Notice of Determination by the Building Official. Such appeal must be accompanied by a written Hazard
CC ORD 2025-07
1726628.1
Abatement Plan signed by a State of California licensed engineer or architect or by a written report by a State of California licensed engineer or architect stating why the engineer or architect feels the building or structure is not an imminent hazard or dangerous at this time. Such report must include a recommendation by the engineer or architect as to what should or should not be done at this time. If the Building Official accepts the proposed Hazard Abatement Plan in lieu of the Notice of Determination, the Hazard Abatement Plan must be implemented within 24 hours of acceptance by the Building Official. If the Building Official accepts an engineer's report and agrees there is no imminent hazard, the Building Official must rescind, in writing, the Notice of Determination.
Should the Building Official disagree with the Hazard Abatement Plan or should the Building Official disagree with the engineer's or architect's report, a hearing must be conducted by the Board of Appeals, as soon as a quorum can be assembled.
902.4.4 BOARD OF APPEALS HEARING. At the hearing, the appellant has the right to call witnesses, to submit evidence, and to cross-examine the witnesses of the city. All witnesses must be sworn.
A record of the proceedings must be made by tape recording. Any relevant evidence may be submitted, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rule which might make improper the admission of such evidence over objection in civil actions in the courts of this State.
At the close of the hearing, the Board of Appeals must act to uphold, overrule, or modify the determination and order of the Building Official. The determination and order of the Building Official will be upheld, unless the Board of Appeals finds, based upon the evidence in the record, that the Building Official erred in determining that the structure is an imminent hazard and dangerous. The decision of the Board of Appeals, with the reasons therefore, may be given orally on record. If given orally, the decision must be memorialized in writing and served upon the applicant within 24 hours of the time the oral decision is rendered.
If the Board of Appeals upholds the decision of the Building Official, the property owners of record will be ordered to abate the public nuisance within the time set forth in the order. If the structure is determined not to be an imminent hazard and dangerous, the Building Official's determination and order will be vacated.
The decision of the Board of Appeals will be final on the date it is rendered. 902.4.5 HAZARD ABATEMENT PLAN. If a Hazard Abatement Plan is approved by the Building Official, the owner or other interested party of record must execute such plan within 24 hours of obtaining approval of the plan from the Building Official.

If the work performed pursuant to the Hazard Abatement Plan amounts to temporary abatement, the owner or other party of record, prior to proceeding with permanent repairs, must obtain required permits and file a damage assessment report with the Building Official. The damage assessment report must be reviewed and approved by the Building Official prior to proceeding with permanent repairs. 902.4.6 FAILURE TO PERFORM. In those instances where the property owner or other interested party of record either does not respond to the Building Official's Notice of Determination or approved Hazard Abatement Plan, responds untimely, or responds timely but fails to abate the public nuisance within the required time period, the imminent hazard and dangerous structure will be subject to immediate abatement by the Building Official.
902.4.7 PUBLIC NUISANCE. All structures or portions of such structures which, after inspection by the Building Official, are determined to be an imminent hazard and dangerous, either to the public, occupants of the subject structure, or to any adjacent structures, are hereby declared to be public nuisances and must be abated by the owner in accordance with the procedures specified in Sections
43.2.4.4 and 43.2.4.5.
902.4.8 SUSPENSION OF ABATEMENT OF WORK. Notwithstanding any code provisions to the contrary, the Building Official is authorized to suspend abatement work, and to allow the property owner or other party of legal interest to complete the abatement work.
902.4.9 CHANGE OF STATUS. When the conditions making a structure an imminent hazard and dangerous have been abated, the structure will no longer be considered an imminent hazard and dangerous. However, if the abatement work is temporary in nature, as determined by the Building Official, the structure will remain subject to the provisions of this section.
902.4.10 DEMOLITION PERMIT. If the owner of any building or structure has decided to demolish rather than repair, the owner, or the owner's representative, must obtain a demolition permit.

Building Official, the building or structure may be braced or shored in such a manner as to mitigate the hazard to public health or safety or the hazard to the public right-of-way.
902.5.1.2 CONDEMNATION. Whenever bracing or shoring is determined to be an unreasonable alternative, the Building Official may cause the building or structure to be condemned and immediately demolished. Such condemnation and demolition may be performed in the interest of public health or safety without a condemnation hearing as required by the 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings.
902.5.2 CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS. If, ten days after the event and less than 30 days after the event, an historic building or structure is determined by the Building Official to represent a hazard to the health or safety of the public or to pose a threat to the public right of way, the Building Official may initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings. The Building Official may also notify the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, of its intent to hold a condemnation hearing.
902.5.3 REQUEST TO DEMOLISH. If the Building Official and the owner of any historic building or structure agree that such a building or structure should be demolished, the Building Official must submit a request to demolish to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1986, as amended. Such request must include all substantiating data.
