Recommendation:

2. Determine that the Urgency Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the adoption of the urgency ordinance.

Background:

On April 25, 2023 the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera (City) adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 1169 establishing a 45-day moratorium on any new automobile leasing and renting, automobile parts and accessory, automobile insurance, medical & dental office, discount clothing and shoe store (warehouse), dollar store, drug store, pet shop and grooming, picture frames and framing, barbershops and beauty salons, nail salon, cell phone repair, tattoo shops, and party rental stores in the Commercial General (C-G) and Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zone. The purpose of the moratorium was to allot City staff time to conduct research, determine the impacts to the community and mitigate the impacts caused by the subject uses. Staff is requesting additional time 1 SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 31, 2023 PUBLIC HEARING – URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 1169 – 10 MONTH, 15 DAY EXTENSION PER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 PLACING A

MORATORIUM ON SPECIFIED USES IN THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL (C-G) AND

COMMERCIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (CPD) ZONE

Page 2 ends

of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days per Government Code Section 65858, for a total of a one-year moratorium.

On May 9, 2023, the City Council received and filed a report by City staff outlining the research conducted to date. Government Code Sections 36937 and 65858 allow the City to extend the 45-day ordinance for a period of ten (10) months and fifteen (15) days after notice and public hearing. Following a first extension, the statute allows the City to extend the urgency ordinance a second time, for an additional one-year period for a total of two (2) years.

Discussion:

Pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, Urgency Ordinance No. 1169 took effect for 45 days and will expire on June 9, 2023, unless extended by the City Council.

The subject uses are considered by staff as low performing and cause unintended consequences that may have detrimental effects to the community. There are ongoing inquiries into the establishment of the uses and a moratorium is necessary to allot time to study further. There are detrimental effects to neighborhoods including maintenance of property, over proliferation, circulation, security, maintenance, noise, and possible economic impacts.

The uses listed in Title 18, Zoning are outdated and are in the process of being updated via a code update. However, the code updated is expected to be completed within one (1) year and it is of utmost importance that a moratorium take place now for the uses listed within the existing code and uses not specifically listed or defined. The uses not specifically defined may fall under a broader category such as retail. For purposes of the urgency ordinance, the following uses shall have the following general and ordinary meaning, commonly associated with its use.
a) Medical Office - a place for the practice of physiotherapy or medical, dental, optical, psychoanalytical, osteopathic, or chiropractic professions of over 1,000 square feet.
b) Shoe Store (Warehouse} - establishments engaged in the sale of footwear, including athletic footwear.
c) Discount Clothing Store - a retail store that sells products at prices lower than those by traditional retail outlets of over 1,000 square feet. d) Dollar Store - a store that sells inexpensive items priced usually at a dollar or a few dollars.

e) Party Rental - A retail store that provides tables, chairs, tents, linens, decorations, and other miscellaneous supplies for various indoor and outdoor events such as parties for birthdays, retirements, and graduations of over 1,000 square feet.
f) Cell Phone Repair Shop - a business that primarily repairs and maintains cell phones and cell phone cases.
g) Tattoo Shops - Any place or establishment where tattooing or body piercing is made available.
h) Nail Salons - Any commercial establishment where nail care is offered or practiced on a regular basis for compensation.
i) Automobile Insurance business - any business that provides automobile policy insurance.

Since April 25, 2023, staff has been in the process of the following:

1. Analyzing all impacts of the existing land uses including the detrimental effects of traffic, noise, over proliferation, economic impacts, circulation, security, noise, and lack of maintenance.

2. Creating a list of all the existing land uses currently prohibited under the moratorium.

3. Creating a list of interested parties, stakeholders, and residents to engage in the community input process by way of community meetings and City study sessions.

4. Creating a focus group that includes staff from the City’s Engineering Division, Building and Code Enforcement Division to review the impacts of the interim ordinance and future potential development standards.

5. Creating a handout to educate potential developers on the moratorium and possible new development standards that may mitigate impacts to facilitate the approval process.

6. Reviewing regulations in surrounding cities to determine adopted codes, taxes and fees implemented and the impacts on their respective communities.

7. Studying the impacts of the specified uses in commercial versus industrial zones where impacts may be minimized.

8. Reviewing the City’s General Plan to determine whether the specified land uses are consistent with the General Plan’s adopted goals and policies.

Environmental Analysis:

This urgency ordinance is not subject to CEQA under the general rule set forth in Section SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF MAY 31, 2023 PUBLIC HEARING – URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 1169 – 10 MONTH, 15 DAY EXTENSION PER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65858 PLACING A

MORATORIUM ON SPECIFIED USES IN THE COMMERCIAL GENERAL (C-G) AND

COMMERCIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (CPD) ZONE

Page 4 ends

15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. For the reasons set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this urgent ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The urgency ordinance is also categorically exempt for CEQA under Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines as it is a regulatory action taken by the City pursuant to its police power and, according with Government Code Section 65858, to assure the maintenance and protection of the environment and adoption of contemplated local legislation, regulation, and policies.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council extend Urgency Ordinance No. 1169 for ten (10) months, fifteen (15) days per Government Code Section 65858. If approved, Urgency Ordinance No. 1169 would expire on March 11, 2024, unless terminated or superseded by the adoption of new zoning regulations.

In accordance with the authority granted pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, from and after the effective date of this urgency ordinance, no person, partnership, corporation, or other entity shall commence a new automobile leasing and renting, automobile parts and accessory, automobile insurance, medical & dental office, discount clothing and shoe store (warehouse), dollar store, drug store, pet shop & grooming, picture frames and framing, barbershops and beauty salons, nail salon, cell phone repair, tattoo shops, and party rental business in the Commercial General (C-G) and Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zone.

SECTION 4. The uses listed below shall be defined as follows for the purposes of this urgency ordinance. Though these uses could be interpreted as falling under other broader existing categories of uses under the Zoning Code, for the purpose of this urgency ordinance and the moratorium enacted hereunder and any extensions thereof, they shall be treated as distinct and separate uses from such broader categories. Any use included in this urgency ordinance that is not defined within this section, unless otherwise defined in Title 18, Zoning, of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code, shall be given the plain, ordinary meaning, commonly associated with its use. a) Medical Office - a place for the practice of physiotherapy or medical, dental, optical, psychoanalytical, osteopathic, or chiropractic professions of over 1,000 square feet.

The City Council hereby finds, based on oral and written reports, URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. ____

Page 4 of 5 ends

determines and declares that the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare necessitates the enactment of this ordinance as an urgency ordinance.

The City Council further finds there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare necessitating the adoption of this urgency ordinance as an Urgency Interim Zoning Ordinance under Section 65858. Said findings are as follows:
a) There are no existing regulations within the City of Pico Rivera that addresses the location, number of, or entitlement requirements for new automobile leasing and renting, automobile parts and accessory, automobile insurance, medical & dental office, discount clothing and shoe store (warehouse), dollar store, drug store, pet shop & grooming, picture frames and framing, barbershops and beauty salons, nail salon, cell phone repair, tattoo shops, and party rental business in the Commercial General (C-G) and Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zone. b) It is necessary to study the adoption of amendments to the City’s Municipal Code and Zoning Ordinance to implement reasonable development standards, regulations, and land use review in order to understand and address impacts of the subject uses in Commercial General (C-G) and Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zones.
c) As a result of the type of land use, outdated regulations, over-proliferation, economic impacts, circulation, noise, security, or lack thereof, siting, or maintenance of the subject uses in the Commercial General (C-G) and Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zones have the potential of having a source of high intensity impacts resulting in the creation of a public nuisance. d) The City of Pico Rivera is experiencing inquiries for the subject uses in the General Commercial (C-G) and Commercial Planned Development (CPD) zones which if approved would frustrate the purpose of study.
e) The City of Pico Rivera requires time to study the impacts of the subject uses, which if approved could result in deleterious effects on the public health, safety and welfare.
f) The potential development of the identified land uses within the aforementioned zones prior to the completion of the City’s study may have negative impacts to the surrounding community in terms of economic impacts, maintenance, circulation, noise, and security and pose an immediate threat to the public’s health, safety, and welfare.
g) The best method of protecting public safety, health and welfare is to create development standards and regulations concerning the development, location, and operation of the subject uses.

URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. ____

Page 5 of 5 ends

h) If Urgency Ordinance No. 1169 is not extended immediately, additional businesses will be established which are contrary to the orderly, planned and coordinated development and future use of properties within the City of Pico Rivera because there are currently no specific zoning regulations, entitlements, business permits or other special regulations regulating the establishment, location and operation.

SECTION 6. This moratorium shall not prohibit the following:
a) The renewal of a business license for an existing establishment as stated in section 4 (a) provided that the renewal seeks to maintain the establishment in its current location, and the establishment is operating in the same manner without any expansion or intensification of the use, and is housed within a building, which complies with all City, State, federal or otherwise applicable, codes rules, regulations.
b) The issuance of permits for maintenance or repairs.

SECTION 7. In order to protect the public health, safety and welfare it is necessary to enact this urgency ordinance as an urgency measure to go into effect immediately upon its adoption, and that to enact this urgency ordinance after giving notice, holding public hearings and two readings thereof, and thereafter to await thirty days for said urgency ordinance to become effective, will be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, in that during the interim period further such establishments may be situated without the benefit of proper criteria and regulations. It is therefore necessary that this urgency ordinance go into effect immediately upon adoption.

SECTION 8. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this urgency ordinance sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, and section by section, and does hereby declare that the provisions of this urgency ordinance are severable, and if, for any reason, any sentence, paragraph or section of this urgency ordinance shall be held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining parts of this urgency ordinance.

SECTION 9. No person shall violate any provision or fail to comply with any of the requirements of this urgency ordinance, and any person violating any provision, or failing to comply with any provision of this urgency ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person convicted of a misdemeanor under the provisions of this urgency ordinance shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment in the City or County Jail for a period not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

SECTION 10. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this urgency ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted as prescribed by law. This urgency ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption. This urgency ordinance shall be effective for a period of 10 months and 15 days unless extended pursuant to California URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. ____

g) The best method of protecting public safety, health and welfare is to create regulations concerning location and .operation of new uses. h) If an urgency interim zoning ordinance is not adopted immediately, additional businesses will .be established which are contrary to the orderly, planned and coordinated development and future use of properties within the City of Pico Rivera because there are currently no specific zoning regulations, entitlements, business permits or other special regulations regulating the establishment, location and operation. \

ACENDA REPORT

URGENCY ORDINANCE - MORATORIUM PROHIBITING

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIED COMMERCIAL

USES IN THE COMMERCIAL-GENERAL (C-G) ZONE
Recommendation:

1. Adopt by four-fifths (4/5ths) vote, an urgency ordinance moratorium, prohibiting the establishment of specific commercial .uses in the Commercial-General (C-G) Zone;and

2. Determine that the, amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act.

Fiscal Impact:

The moratorium is not anticipated to have any direct fiscal impact to the General Fund.

Background:

City staff is conducting an analysis to determine whether there currently exists an adverse effect and/or over-proliferation of certain types of commercial uses in the General Commercial (C-G) Zone. Without proper study, the City may be forfeiting land uses that are desired by the community or may have a preferable economic effect in the Tegion. Staff has found that many l~nd uses listed in the Pico Rivera Municipal Code ar~ either outdated, non-existent or allowed by-right without the 'benefit of an entitlement such as Conditional Use Permit or Precise Plan of Design application per the Pico Rivera Municipal Code. The uses under ~valuation are considered by staff as low performing and may not be in the best interest of the community. In light of these factors, the City continues to receive inquiries and permit applications from prospective businesses interested in the specified commercial uses. Therefore, without appropriate land use and planning regulations, tbi~ moratorium is necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, and safety.

Analysis
The City has recently received several inquiries for commercial land uses in key intersections and locations that are not desirable by the community, may have unintended consequences, be overproliferated and prohibit other diverse range of 6 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF APRIL 25, 2023

URGENCY ORDINANCE - MORATORIUM PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIFIED COMMERCIAL USES IN THE COMMERCIAL-GENERAL (C,.G) ZONE PAGE2OF3
business activities from establishing. Economic Development staff have been actively pursuing quality development that is desired by Pico Rivera residents, would better serve the community and have a positive economic impact. Staff has found that certain land uses, an~ their respective property owner~ locate into specific properties but do not have pride of ownership .and let their commercial uses become blighted. Some of these uses are found in key locations and intersections and thereby encourage other undesirable land uses that further spiral blighted conditions. As such, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the moratorium to further identify similar commercial uses and to allot Economic Development staff time to " ... proactively recruit new high,..quality commercial uses, specialty stores and sit-down restaurants that expand the diversity of retail and service offerings and increase generation of sales tax arid enhance visitor amenities" as identified by Policy 7;3-3 of the Pico Rivera General Plan.

The following is a list of commercial uses that may have an over proliferation or havE;! unintended consequenGes in the General Commercial (C-G) zone:

1. Automobile leasing and renting

2. Automobile parts and accessory

3. Automobile Insurance

4. Medical office & dental office of over 1,000 square feet

5. Discount clothing store of over 1,000 square feet

6. Shoe Store (Warehouse)

7. Dollar Store

8. Drug store

9. Pet shop and grooming

10. Picture frames and framing

11. Barbershops and beauty salons

12. Nail salons

13. Cell Phone Repair

14. Tattoo Shops

15. Party Rental of over 1,000 square feet
The moratorium would not prohibit:
• The renewal of a business license for an existing cornmercial land use as specified above that seek to maintain the establishment in its current location, in a manner, and housed within a building, which complies with all City, state, federal or otherwise applicable, codes, rules, regulations or laws; and • Issuance of permits for emergency and emergency-related repairs.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF APRIL 25, 2023

URGENCY ORDINANCE- MORATORIUM PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF

SPECIFIED COMMERCIAL USES IN THE COMMERCIAL-GENERAL (C-G) ZONE PAGE3OF3
Government Code Sections 36937 and 65858 allow the City to extend the 45-day Ordinance for a period of 10 months and 15 days after notice and hearing. Following a first extension, the statutes allow the City to extend the interim urgency ordinance a second time, for an additional one-year period.

Environmental Analysis:

This ordinance is not subject to CEQA under the general rule set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines that CEQA only applies to project~ which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. For the reasons set forth in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this ordin~n~ will have a significant effect on the environment. The ordinance is also categorically exempt for CEQA under Section 15308 of the CEQA Guidelines as it is a regulatory action taken by the City pursuant to its police power and according with Government Code Section 65858, to assure maintenance and protection of the environment and adoption of contemplated local legislation, regulation, and policies.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a 45-day moratorium on commercial land uses as specified above within the General-Commercial (C-G) zone to provide staff the opportunity to conduct additional research and present the Council with a comprehensive ordinance to address each land use. This moratorium would be in effect for 45 days unless extended.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:

RUBEN WARD
CASE NO. BP164819
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the WILL or estate, or both of RUBEN WARD.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by GARY S. WARD in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that GARY S. WARD be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent‘s WILL and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The WILL and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act with limited authority. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 08/17/15 at 8:30AM in Dept. 67 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
