HOST LIABILITY FOR ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AND ADMINISTRATIVE

CITATIONS
The City currently regulates the sale, storage, and discharge of fireworks within the City, consistent with State Fireworks Law (Health & Safety Code § 12500 et seq.) and guidance from the State Fire Marshall under Chapter 17.04 of the Stanton Municipal Code. In order to allow law enforcement and City code enforcement to better enforce Chapter 17.04, in 2025, the City adopted “social host” regulations, which make a property owner or a person in control of property on which fireworks are sold, stored, or discharged in violation of Chapter 17.04 strictly liable for the illegal sale, storage, or discharge. The amendment to the ordinance proposes a gradual fine increase based on the amount of dangerous fireworks at issue and clarifies that a fine is based on each discharge of a firework, among other modifications.

2 BACKGROUND:

The City’s most recent Pavement Management Plan (PMP) identified the priority streets scheduled for resurfacing during FY 2024/25 and alleys scheduled for resurfacing during FY 2025/26. The following locations are included in this phase of the program:
• Masterson Ave (Cody Dr to City Limit)
• Kenmore St (Stardust Ln to Cul-de-sac)
• Court Ave (Monroe Ave to Cul-de-sac)
• Alley between Pacific Ave and Cris Ave
Utilizing the existing on-call civil engineering services, Kreuzer Consulting Group was retained to design plans, specifications, and cost estimates for the project.

The project consists of demolition and removals; clearing and grubbing; utility adjustments; grind and overlay asphalt pavement, and reconstruction; reconstruction of alley intersections; curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs; removing and replacing concrete longitudinal gutters; cross gutter reconstruction; ADA curb ramp reconstruction; driveway reconstruction; pavement restriping; and all appurtenant work.

On February 10, 2026, the City Council authorized staff to advertise these projects for construction and approved the plans and specifications. The projects were combined into one bid package to expedite the bid process, reduce costs, and ensure coordination is under one contractor.

2 BACKGROUND:

The City is required to implement and maintain programs to comply with State and Federal stormwater, water quality, and sanitary sewer regulations, including the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements, and local fats, oils and grease (FOG) regulations. These requirements include stormwater and water quality program administration, plan review, industrial, commercial, and construction inspections, FOG program management and inspections, and preparation of annual regulatory reports. Management of these programs is a specialized field and therefore numerous small- to medium-sized cities contract out these services. A qualified consultant is crucial to the successful implementation of these programs to comply with regulatory agencies’ guidelines and requirements.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued on February 13, 2026, with a proposal due date of March 18, 2026, and three firms provided proposals.

An internal City review committee consisting of the Principal Civil Engineer, Senior Public Works Inspector, and Engineering Assistant evaluated the proposals. The review committee established their scoring and ranking on criteria that included staffing capabilities and technical competence, approach to work, past performance demonstrating record of success and qualifications, and cost. The consultants were ranked as follows:
*The fee proposal amount was negotiated and reduced by 5%.

Per the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, proposals must be evaluated using the Qualification-Based Selection process in accordance with Public Law 92-582, which requires that the selection of professional services be based on demonstrated competence and the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services at a fair and reasonable price.

Based on the results of the RFP process, John L. Hunter & Associates demonstrates competence through their proposal and is qualified to provide environmental services for the project. John L. Hunter & Associates is the current provider of these services and has successfully kept the City of Stanton in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Rank Consultant Fee Proposal (Annual)
1 John L. Hunter & Associates $ 116,362.00*
2 WSP USA, Inc. $ 211,280.75
3 Willdan Engineering $ 221,896.00
3 Staff recommends entering into a three (3) year professional services agreement with two (2) optional one-year extensions with John L. Hunter and Associates in the amount notto-exceed $375,000 or $125,000 annually. A contingency has been incorporated into the contract to account for the potential increase in inspections, plan reviews, audits, and related oversight activities. However, this does not mean all the contingency will be used if it is not needed.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Fiscal Year 2026/27 Operating Budget will include costs for these services: Account No. 101-3600-606100 for NPDES (MS4) services and Account No. 501-3700-606110 for the FOG Program services. The costs for these services will also be partially funded by the revenues generated from collecting plan check and inspection fees.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5) (Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).

LEGAL REVIEW:

None.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Notifications and advertisement were performed as prescribed by law.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INTRODUCTION
The City of Stanton (“City”) is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to provide services of a qualified professional environmental consultant firm towards the City’s National Pollutant Elimination Systems (NPDES) and Fats Oils & Grease (FOG) programs.

Proposals must conform to the requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP) and proposals must be submitted in a sealed envelope to the Department of Public Works and Engineering no later than 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18, 2026. The City reserves the right to waive any irregularity in any proposal, or to reject any proposal that does not comply with this RFP. The city alone, using the criteria determined by the city, will select the qualified candidate.

The successful Consultant will be required to enter into an agreement with the city, which will include the requirements of this RFP, as well as other requirements to be specified at a later date. By submitting a proposal, the Consultant agrees to all the terms of this RFP.

Please direct any questions by the deadline for questions listed on the cover page of this RFP to Cesar Rangel, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer, via email at [email protected].

II. BACKGROUND
The City is in the northwestern portion of Orange County, CA. It encompasses 3.1 square miles of commercial, industrial, and residential areas and serves a population of approximately 39,000. The City’s sewer system includes approximately 50.5 miles of wastewater collection system gravity mains and approximately 1,100 manholes.

Municipalities that own or operate sanitary sewer systems greater than one mile in length that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in the State, such as the City of Stanton, are required to comply State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems (Order). The purpose of the Order is to prevent SSOs, and to provide a plan and schedule for measures to be implemented to prevent SSOs, as well as measures to effectively clean up and report the spills.

The overall responsibility for day-to-day compliance with the City’s NPDES and FOG programs is currently assigned to a consultant retained by the City. Both programs are

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: April 14, 2026
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF THE STANTON COMMUNITY/SENIOR CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (TASK CODE NO. 2025-601) BY THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA
REPORT IN BRIEF:

The Stanton Community/Senior Center Improvement Project consisting of improvements and ADA enhancements to the Senior Center area restrooms, entry lobby, and hallways is now complete. The final construction cost for the project was $531,964, below the contract award amount. The City Engineer, in his judgment, certifies that the work was satisfactorily completed as of March 31, 2026, and recommends that the City Council accept the completed work performed on this project.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

3. Approve the final construction contract amount of $531,964 with A2Z Construct, Inc.; and

4. Direct the City Clerk within ten (10) days from the date of acceptance to file the Notice of Completion (Attachment) with the County Clerk-Recorder of the County of Orange; and

Item: 9F
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 BACKGROUND:

In 2024, the City received a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the County of Orange for improvements to the City’s Community/Senior Center located at 7800 Katella Avenue.

The project scope includes improvements and ADA enhancements to the Senior Center area restrooms, entry lobby, and hallways. Improvements include repainting, replacement of doors, lighting fixtures, flooring, countertops, ceiling tiles, mirrors, toilets and urinals.

On October 22, 2024, City Council awarded a design contract in the amount of $40,000 to Black O’Dowd and Associates, Inc. (BOA) for the design of the project.

On May 27, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to advertise this project for construction and approved the plans and specifications.

On July 8, 2025, A2Z Construct, Inc. was awarded the construction contract for this project as the lowest, responsive bidder in the amount of $606,050 and the City Council authorized the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to $30,302.50.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

One change order was issued, reducing the allowance for extraordinary plumbing repairs by $16,450, and this credit was reallocated to remove wall paneling and repaint the hallway, resulting in no change to the overall contract amount and no use of contingency funds. The total construction cost for the project was $531,964, which is below the awarded amount due to unused allowances and line items.

The Stanton Community/Senior Center Project has been completed in conformance with the project plans and specifications and has been accepted by the City Engineer.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Amended FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program budget included $632,702 for the Stanton Community/Senior Center Improvement Project (Task Code No. 2025-601).

The total amount paid to A2Z Construct, Inc. for construction is $531,964. This Project is partially funded by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and the City will be reimbursed $350,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The project is categorically exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 1, Section 15301(a) as operation, repair, and minor interior or exterior alterations of existing public facilities.

City Council accepted the Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) funds in the amount of $76,230 and amended the adopted Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program to include the Streetlight Upgrades Project.

The Streetlight Upgrades Project has been completed in conformance with the project plans and specifications and has been accepted by the City Engineer.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Program budget included $84,255 for the Streetlight Upgrades Project (Task Code No. 2026-104). The total amount paid to Yunex, LLC. for construction is $76,230. The EECBG grant will reimburse $76,230 of the total cost.

Click here to return to the agenda.

BACKGROUND:

On April 14, 2020, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with CityTech Solutions for the installation and operation of a Building Permit and Code Enforcement Software Tracking System. The software system was implemented to improve efficiencies and provide a more streamlined permit process within the Community and Economic Development Department and track Code Enforcement cases for the Public Safety Department. The City has been utilizing the system since 2020.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

The last contract was awarded in 2023 and the City’s Building Division has continued to utilize the software system to issue and track building permits. The Code Enforcement Division continues to use the system to track and manage code enforcement cases. The existing system has helped the City improve efficiencies and provide a more streamlined permitting process within the Community and Economic Development Department. City staff is requesting a one-year extension to the agreement to continue using the software system while the City transitions to a new Land Management System.

If approved by the City Council, the Amendment would extend the contract term through March 1, 2027. Additionally, the consultant’s rates were adjusted to reflect a 2% percent annual increase. Exhibit “B” under the Amendment to Professional Services Agreement provides the latest updated Fee Schedule with new rates.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for professional services will continue to be included in the annual budget within the Information Technology operating budget by a percentage of the permit and plan check fees collected by the development applications received.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The recommended actions are exempt from CEQA per Section 15378(b)(5) which excludes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed the Amendment as to form.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 3: Provide quality infrastructure.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Public notice for this item was made through the regular agenda process.

Data Backup
Our data backup routine is comprehensive as we believe we can never be too cautious with data integrity or data loss. Thus, our servers automatically create the following copies of the databases:

1. Incremental rolling backups of each individual database every 10- minutes

2. Hourly backups of all databases

3. Nightly backups of all databases

4. Monthly archives of all databases
The incremental backups are extremely important and provide avital safety net. If any catastrophic event were to occur, or if any data were to accidentally be changed or saved, that data can be retrieved and reinstalled in a matter of minutes. Or if a record that was just created was accidentally deleted, we can get that back and reinstalled in a timely manner. If any of these scenarios happens, we must be contacted within 5- minutes of that event so that we can pull the incremental backup and restore it for you.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: April 14, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF FINAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT TO

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR AUDITING SERVICES
(GRUBER AND LOPEZ, INC.)
REPORT IN BRIEF:

The City Council is requested to approve a final one-year extension and amendment to the existing Professional Services Agreement with Gruber and Lopez, Inc. for independent auditing services. The amendment extends services through January 31, 2027, and expands the scope of work to include preparation and filing of two additional State Controller’s Office reports: (1) the Financial Transactions Report and (2) the Streets and Roads Report. The expanded scope will result in an increase in total contract compensation.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

BACKGROUND:

Local governments are required to produce annual audited financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Following a competitive procurement process in 2022, the City Council awarded a Professional Services Agreement to Gruber and Lopez, Inc. to perform independent audit services for fiscal Item: 9J
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 years ending June 30, 2022 through June 30, 2024, with the option to extend services for up to two additional one-year terms through June 30, 2026.

The City has exercised the available extensions, and the current agreement term is set to expire at the conclusion of Fiscal Year 2025–26.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

The proposed amendment represents the final allowable extension under the original agreement and ensures continuity of audit services while maintaining compliance with reporting requirements.

In addition to the annual financial statement audit and related agreed-upon procedures, the amendment expands the scope of services to include preparation and submission of required reports to the California State Controller’s Office, including:
• Financial Transactions Report (FTR): A comprehensive report of the City’s financial activities, including revenues, expenditures, and fund balances; and • Streets and Roads Report: A report detailing revenues and expenditures associated with gas tax and other transportation-related funding sources.

These reporting requirements are critical to maintaining compliance with State mandates and ensuring transparency of municipal financial data.

The two State Controller’s reports were previously prepared by a separate consultant; however, incorporating these services into the existing audit contract promotes efficiency, leverages the auditor’s familiarity with the City’s financial systems, and reduces the need for separate procurement.

Due to the additional scope of services, total compensation under the agreement will be increased accordingly. Staff has reviewed the proposed fee adjustment and determined it to be reasonable and consistent with the expanded level of effort required.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The amendment will result in an increase to the total contract amount to account for the additional reporting services in the amount of $39,509 plus any additional agreed-upon procedures that are completed for Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and Cannabis audits according to the cost of services in Attachment B of the contract amendment. The two additional State Controller’s reports will result in an increase in the contract amount of $4,250. Sufficient funding will be included in the Fiscal Year 2026-27 annual budget within the General Fund for audit and compliance services. The annual Audit services and State Controller’s reports are routinely included in the annual budget process, and no additional appropriation is needed.
3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

None, this item is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, as it is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment).

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the professional services agreement as to form.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 4. Ensure fiscal stability.

Goal 5. Maintain and promote a responsive, high-quality and transparent government.

The firms' relevant experience is listed under Section 4 below. To maximize the benefit to the City as a result of this engagement, Gruber and Lopez, Inc. proposes to utilize our structured business process methodology, experience, and knowledge in executing this engagement. Our approach places great emphasis on using only proven and experienced auditors and consultants to perform the services required by the City.

Prepare a list of items needed ( our workpapers are in electronic form, so electronic files for schedules and documents requested will be preferred but not required). Our request of items to be provided will conform to what the City has previously provided to its existing Auditor. Should we need additional information, we will work with City staff to minimize any additional work load to the City. Each associate is assigned a lap top for fieldwork and we use primarily Microsoft Word and Excel for our audit engagements.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

“AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON,

CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
PURSUANT TO PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE SECTION 21080.66”; and

3. Set Ordinance No. 1169 for second reading and adoption at the April 28, 2026, regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

Item: 10A
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 BACKGROUND:

The Applicant, Stanton Land, LLC, is proposing to develop a horizontal mixed-use development on a 10.66-acre overall project site. The project site consists of five existing parcels, proposed to be consolidated and subdivided to accommodate the construction of 159 three-story townhome residential units and prepare a parcel to accommodate approximately 15,949 square feet of commercial buildings as shown in Figure 1 below.

The subject site spans along the southeast corner of Beach Boulevard and Katella Avenue intersection, located at 8042 Katella Avenue and 11100 Beach Boulevard. The subject site is currently the main operations of ORCO Block Company that has been operating for over 75 years. The Applicant is proposing to decommission the current activity and remove all onsite buildings and machinery to accommodate the proposed development. Although the block manufacturing operations will be relocated to a different county, ORCO Block Company’s main office located at 11100 Beach Boulevard, south of the proposed commercial component, will maintain its headquarters for the time being.

The project is located in the Industrial General (IG) zone with a General Mixed-Use (GLMX) Overlay and has a General Plan Land Use designation of General Mixed Use.

Figure 1. Site Plan
In accordance with the Stanton Municipal Code (SMC) the proposed project was reviewed in compliance with the City’s development standards and the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. On March 18, 2026, the City’s Planning Commission voted to approve Resolution No. 2587 approving a Site Plan and Design Review (SPDR-823), Planned Development Permit (PDP 24-01), and Tentative Tract Map (TTM No. 19330) for the proposed mixed-use development. The Planning Commission also approved Resolution No. 2588, recommending to the City Council the approval of a Development Agreement (DA 26-01) for the proposed project.
3 ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

Development Agreement
The City Council authorized staff to enter into negotiations for a Development Agreement (DA) for this project. The DA would vest the project in accordance with existing land use laws, regulations, and ordinances. In exchange, the Developer has agreed to provide substantial improvements to the neighborhood by building a high quality designed and executed mixed-use development and improving the public experience and visual corridors of Beach Boulevard and Katella Avenue. This development contributes financially to the community through Development Impact Fees (Street Impact, Traffic Signal Impact, Community Center Impact, and Police Facilities) as well as Public Benefit fees. In addition to the fees, during the construction phase, the Developer will install a temporary fence with decorative screening in the form of a mural design for the project site.

The development agreement will also allow the Developer/Owner to establish a construction phasing plan for the project. This will help commence the construction of residential units while the commercial property is listed for sale. The DA ensures that prior to the final certificate of occupancy for the last residential unit, the Owner must prep the commercial property by clearing, grading, and actively marketing the site to a potential bona fide commercial developer.

The Planning Commission’s review of the Development Agreement as prescribed by Stanton Municipal Code Section 20.510.050, provides the Planning Commission review the Development Agreement to determine whether it provides a public benefit to the city, that it is consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, and it complies with the DA statute. All other considerations within the Development Agreement are to be considered by the City Council.

Staff is recommending approval of DA 26-01, finding the development of a horizontal mixed-use project at this location is complimentary to the surrounding commercial uses and in compliance with the City’s General Plan goals and policies. Bringing a mixed-use development to the City’s most prominent corner will offer unique living experience for future residents. Replacing the existing industrial use and site with a vibrant residential and commercial development will enhance the community and bring a pedestrian focus into this area of Beach Boulevard, while also bringing newer development closer to the City’s Town Center Specific Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project review is paid for through the Applicant’s development deposit and associated fees. Therefore, there will be no fiscal impact to the City with regards to project review.

As a result of implementing the Development Agreement, the Owner will contribute to the City through payment of a Public Benefit fee in the amount of $7,470 per residential unit, for a total payment of $1,187,730. Additionally, the Owner will pay Development Impact Fees in the amount of $1,992,270 to the City via the following breakdown: $650 per 4 residential unit as a Street Impact Fee, $145 per residential unit for Traffic Signal Impact Fee, $295 per residential unit as a Community Center Impact Fee, $267 per residential unit for Police Facilities Fee, and $11,173 per residential unit for Park-in-Lieu fee. The Owner will also pay the City Sewer Capacity Charges and Sewer Connection Charges and future Development Impact Fees for the commercial development depending on the size and type of development.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The Project is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080.66, prior to approving the Project, including the Development Agreement and makes the following findings:

3. DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.

3.1 Rights to Develop. Subject to the terms of this Agreement including the Reservation of Rights, OWNER shall have vested rights to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, this Agreement. To enable OWNER to complete the Project, OWNER’s vested right shall include the rights to development of a minimum and a maximum of 159 residential Units on the Property. OWNER shall also develop a minimum of fifteen thousand nine hundred (15,900) square feet of commercial space on the Property. The commercial space may have a floor area ratio (“FAR”) of 0.2 but shall not be less than 0.2.

3.2 In accordance with Section 3.7, OWNER shall have the right to establish the phasing of development on the Property. OWNER shall also have the right to assign or transfer all or a portion of the Property, subject to Section 2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OWNER shall be obligated to take the following actions with regard to the commercial parcel of the Property (which parcel is designated in the Development Plan):

3.2.1 Submit a conceptual design that must allow future ultimate commercial users the flexibility to plan and design according to their specific uses and operational needs. As of the Effective Date, OWNER has submitted a conceptual design to CITY, which shall be part of the Development Plan; and

3.2.2 By the time the final certificate of occupancy is submitted for the last residential Unit, rough grade the commercial parcel and provide a certified pad, consisting of the following activities: (a) demolition, (b) clear and grub; (c) site preparation and prewater; (d) mass excavation per soils report; (e) remedial grading; (f) fine grade after grading; (g) construction water set-up; (h) construction water purpose; (i) temporary fence with decorative screening fabric in the form of a mural design, as approved by the City Manager or designee, in their sole and absolute discretion; (j) erosion control during and after grading; (k) stubbing of utilities; (l) and completion of all sidewalks; and

3.2.3 If a building permit has not been issued to OWNER for a commercial structure by the time the final certificate of occupancy is issued for the last residential Unit, OWNER shall: (a) deposit Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) into an interest-bearing escrow account for which OWNER shall pay any and all fees related thereto; and (b) submit a temporary landscape and irrigation plan to the CITY for the commercial parcel. Steps (a) and (b) in this Section 3.2.3 shall be done by OWNER concurrently with the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the last residential Unit. CITY shall have the sole and absolute discretion to approve the temporary landscape and irrigation plan. The City Manager or their designee must consent in writing to any disbursement of funds from the escrow account to OWNER, which CITY will not unreasonably deny. OWNER shall only use the funds in the escrow account to complete the temporary landscape and irrigation plan for the commercial parcel and for no other purpose. The temporary landscaping and irrigation work shall be completed within thirty (30) days of OWNER obtaining the certificate of occupancy for the last residential Unit. OWNER shall continuously maintain the commercial parcel in accordance with the CITY’s municipal code and the approved -11-
temporary landscaping and irrigation plan until the commercial parcel is sold to a bona fide commercial developer; and

3.2.4 Until the commercial parcel is sold to a bona fide commercial developer, OWNER shall consistently and continuously use its best efforts to develop and implement a marketing plan for the sale of the commercial parcel, including branding, marketing materials, website creation, and media exposure on a coordinated basis with public relations, identification, recruitment and marketing to potential buyers.

Within thirty (30) days of obtaining the certificate of occupancy for the last residential Unit, OWNER shall enter into a contract with a broker that will, among other things, provide regular (no less often than monthly) written reports of tours, contacts, activity, and deals under negotiation to OWNER and the CITY. At CITY’s option, a quarterly in person (or virtual) meeting shall occur to review status and activity. OWNER’s listing agreement shall require OWNER’s broker to advertise and place signage on the commercial parcel, as well as prepare and distribute a standard brokerage flyer. The listing agreement must require that the commercial property be listed on online listing services such as Costar/Loopnet/Reonomy, and that such listings shall be regularly updated (no less often than quarterly), and that the broker actively market the commercial parcel. Once the commercial parcel is sold to a bona fide commercial developer and all the commercial spaces have received certificates of occupancy, any remaining funds in the escrow account will be returned to OWNER within thirty (30) days of the final certificate of occupancy being issued for the commercial spaces.

3.3 Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the Project shall remain subject to all Land Use Regulations and Development Approvals, whether in effect on the Effective Date or subsequently adopted or amended, that are required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the authority of the CITY to further revise the Land Use Regulations pursuant to Government Code section 65866, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Land Use Regulations and Development Approvals, whether in effect on the Effective Date or subsequently adopted or amended. OWNER shall comply with all mitigation measures required to be undertaken pursuant to any document prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to the Project.

3.4 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement including the Reservation of Rights, the rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of the Property shall be the Land Use Regulations and Development Approvals, whether in effect on the Effective Date or subsequently adopted. In connection with any subsequently imposed Development Approvals and except as specifically provided otherwise herein, CITY may exercise its discretion in accordance with the Land Use Regulations then in effect, as provided by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Reservation of Rights. CITY shall promptly receive, and when complete, accept for processing, review and action all applications for subsequent development approvals, and such applications shall be processed in accordance to all applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Permit -12-
Streamlining Act. CITY shall exercise its discretion, when required or authorized to do so, to the same extent it would otherwise be entitled in the absence of this Agreement.

3.5 Reservation of Rights.

3.5.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following regulations shall apply to the development of the Property:
(a) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by CITY to cover the estimated actual costs to CITY of reviewing and processing applications for the Project and Development Approvals, providing inspections, conducting annual reviews, providing environmental analysis, and/or for monitoring compliance with this Agreement or any Development Approvals granted or issued, provided such fees and charges are in force and effect on a general basis on the date of filing such applications or request with the CITY. This Section shall not be construed to limit the authority of CITY to charge its then-current, normal and customary application, processing, and permit fees for subsequent development approvals, building permits, and other similar permits, which fees are designed to reimburse CITY’s expenses attributable to such application, processing, and permitting and are in force and effect on a City-wide basis at such time as the subsequent development approvals are applied for or requested of CITY, notwithstanding the fact that such fees may have increased by CITY subsequent to the Effective Date. (b) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals and any other matter of procedure.
(c) Regulations, policies and rules governing engineering and construction standards and specifications applicable to public and private improvements, including, without limitation, all uniform codes adopted by the CITY and any local amendments to those codes adopted by the CITY, including, without limitation, the CITY's Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Grading Ordinance, and Fire Code. (d) The CITY’s standards and procedures regarding the granting of encroachment permits and the conveyance of rights and interests that provide for the use of or the entry upon public property.
(e) Regulations imposing Development Exactions; provided, however, that no such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall be applicable to development of the Property unless such Development Exaction is applied uniformly to development, either throughout the CITY or within a defined area of benefit which includes the Property. No such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall apply if its application to the Property would physically prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in the Development Plan. In the event any such subsequently adopted Development Exaction fulfills the same purposes, in whole or in part, as the fees set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement, CITY shall allow a credit against such subsequently adopted Development Exaction for the fees paid under Section 4 of this Agreement to the extent such fees fulfill the same purposes. -13-
(f) Regulations that may be in material conflict with this Agreement but that are reasonably necessary to protect the residents of the project or the immediate community from a condition perilous to their health or safety. To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be applied and construed so as to provide OWNER with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement.
(g) Regulations that are not in material conflict with this Agreement or the Development Plan. Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate or timing of development of the Property shall be deemed to materially conflict with the Development Plan and shall therefore not be applicable to the development of the Property. (h) Regulations that are in material conflict with the Development Plan; provided OWNER has given written consent to the application of such regulations to development of that Property in which the OWNER has a legal or equitable interest. (i) Regulations that impose, levy, alter or amend fees, charges, or Land Use Regulations relating to consumers or end users, including, without limitation, trash can placement, service charges and limitations on vehicle parking. (j) Regulations of other public agencies, including Development Impact Fees adopted or imposed by such other public agencies, although collected by CITY. (k) The exercise of the power of eminent domain.

3.5.2 Subsequent Development Approvals. This Agreement shall not prevent CITY, in acting on subsequent development approvals and to the same extent it would otherwise be authorized to do so absent this Agreement, from applying subsequently adopted or amended Land Use Regulations that do not materially conflict with this Agreement.

3.5.3 Modification or Suspension by State or Federal Law. In the event that State, County or Federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement, prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.

3.5.4 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that CITY is restricted in its authority to limit certain aspects of its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to CITY all of its police power that cannot be or are not expressly so limited. This Agreement shall be construed, contrary to its stated terms if necessary, to reserve to CITY all such power and authority that cannot be or is not by this Agreement's express terms so restricted. -14-

3.6 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the parties that other public agencies not within the control of CITY may possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with CITY and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies.

3.7 Timing of Development. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, 37 Cal. 3d 465 (1984), that the failure of the parties in that case to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties’ agreement, it is the specific intent of the Parties to provide for the timing of the Project in this Agreement. To do so, the Parties acknowledge and provide that OWNER may complete the Project in such order, at such rate, at such times, and in as many development phases and sub-phases as OWNER deems appropriate in its sole subjective business judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, OWNER shall complete the entirety of the Project, including, without limitation, the development, construction, and full build-out of the commercial parcel in accordance with the Development Plan prior to, or by the expiration of the Agreement’s term. Nothing herein authorizes OWNER to develop residential units on the commercial parcel.

3.8 Vested Rights Upon Termination. Termination of the Agreement shall not invalidate any Land Use Regulations or terminate any Subsequent Development Approvals obtained prior to the date of termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, OWNER’s vested rights, if any, shall be determined by this Agreement to the extent development has occurred hereunder, and as to the remainder of the Project, by state and federal statutes and case law and then current factual state of the Development. Subject to that determination of rights and all other applicable law, OWNER’s right to continue development of the Project pursuant to some or all of the Development Plan shall be subject to the ordinary exercise of the CITY’s police power, including the adoption of a general plan amendment, zoning change, or other Land Use Regulations applicable to the Property. OWNER acknowledges that following termination of the Agreement, except as to any development that has vested, CITY may amend the general plan designation of the Property and/or the zoning designation applicable to the Property.

3.9 Tentative Subdivision Maps. City acknowledges and agrees that OWNER may file and process new tentative and/or vesting tentative subdivision maps for the Property consistent with the California Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Municipal Code. Pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code section 66452.6, subdivision (a)(1)), the life of any tentative or vesting tentative subdivision map approved for the Property, whether designated “vesting” or not, shall be extended for the Term of this Agreement.

4. PUBLIC BENEFITS.

4.1 Intent. The parties acknowledge and agree that development of the Property will result in substantial public needs that will not be fully met by the Development Plan and further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement confers substantial private benefits on OWNER that should be balanced by commensurate public benefits. Accordingly, the parties intend to provide consideration to the public to balance the private benefits conferred on OWNER by providing more fully for the satisfaction of the public needs resulting from the Project. -15-

4.2 Public Benefits. In addition to complying with the Project conditions of approval which are designed to mitigate the significant environmental impacts of the Project, OWNER has committed by this Agreement to contribute to CITY the following “Public Benefits.”

4.2.1 OWNER shall pay a public benefit fee in the amount of Seven Thousand, Four Hundred and Seventy Dollars ($7,470.00) (the “Public Benefit Fee”) for each residential Unit that is part of the Project. The Public Benefit Fee amount shall be paid to CITY on a per-unit basis, and shall be due prior to issuance of each building permit for each unit in the Project, unless a different schedule is mutually agreed upon by CITY and OWNER. CITY shall be entitled to use the Public Benefit Fee in any manner, at any time, and for any purpose in CITY’s sole and absolute discretion.

4.3 Development Impact Fees.

4.3.1 Amount of Fee. OWNER shall pay all Development Impact Fees in effect on the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, the Development Impact Fees are Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty Dollars ($12,530.00) per residential Unit that is part of the Project. The Development Impact Fees are listed in attached Exhibit “D.”

4.3.2 Sewer Capacity Charge and Sewer Connection Charge.

Additionally, OWNER shall pay the Sewer Capacity Charges and the Sewer Connection Charge in effect on the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, the Sewer Capacity Charges are $487 dollars per residential Unit that is part of the Project and the Sewer Connection Charge is $773 dollars.

4.3.3 Amount of Fee – Commercial Development. OWNER shall pay all Development Impact Fees in effect on the Effective Date. All Development Impact Fees related to commercial development will be calculated based upon the size and type of development.

4.3.4 Time of Payment. The fees required pursuant to Subsections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 shall be payable to CITY on a per-unit basis and shall be due prior to issuance of each building permit for each unit in the Project.

4.3.5 Prepayment. In no event shall the prepayment of any Development Impact Fees required hereunder establish a vested right on the part of OWNER or any other owner of the Property or any person or entity with an interest therein to develop the Project or the Property following the expiration, cancellation or termination of the Term of this Agreement. Following the expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement, all Development Impact Fees then in effect shall be applicable to the Project and Property notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement and notwithstanding the prepayment of the Development Impact Fees set forth in Exhibit “D”, or any combination thereof.

4.4 Dedication of On-Site Easements and Rights of Way. OWNER shall include on the -16-
tract map for the Project one or more irrevocable offers of dedication to CITY for on-site rights-ofway and easements deemed necessary for public improvements as required under the Project’s conditions of approval.

4.5 Timing of Construction of Off-Site Infrastructure. Approval of any building permits on the Property shall be conditioned upon CITY's determination, in its sole discretion, that sufficient progress is being made on construction of off-site infrastructure serving development of OWNER's Property.

5. REVIEW FOR COMPLIANCE.

5.1 Periodic Review. The CITY shall review this Agreement annually, on or before the anniversary of the Effective Date, in order to ascertain the compliance by OWNER with the terms of the Agreement. OWNER shall submit an Annual Monitoring Report, in a form acceptable to the City Manager, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the City Manager. The Annual Monitoring Report shall be accompanied by an annual review and administration fee sufficient to defray the estimated costs of review and administration of the Agreement during the succeeding year. The amount of the annual review and administration fee shall be set annually by resolution of the City Council.

5.2 Special Review. The City Council may order a special review of compliance with this Agreement at any time. The City Manager, or his or her designee, shall conduct such special reviews.

If, upon a finding under Section 5.3, CITY determines to proceed with modification or termination of this Agreement, CITY shall give written notice to OWNER of its intention so to do. The notice shall be given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing and shall contain:
(a) The time and place of the hearing;
(b) A statement as to whether or not CITY proposes to terminate or to modify the Agreement; and,
(c) Such other information that the CITY considers necessary to inform OWNER of the nature of the proceeding.

5.5 Hearing on Modification or Termination. At the time and place set for the hearing on modification or termination, OWNER shall be given an opportunity to be heard. OWNER shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

The burden of proof on this issue shall be on OWNER. If the City Council finds, based upon substantial evidence, that OWNER has not complied in good faith with the terms or conditions of the Agreement, the City Council may terminate this Agreement or modify this Agreement and impose such conditions as are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the CITY. The decision of the City Council shall be final.

5.6 Certificate of Agreement Compliance. If, at the conclusion of a Periodic or Special Review, OWNER is found to be in compliance with this Agreement, CITY shall, upon request by OWNER, issue a Certificate of Agreement Compliance ("Certificate") to OWNER stating that after the most recent Periodic or Special Review and based upon the information known or made known to the City Manager and City Council that: (1) this Agreement remains in effect; and (2) OWNER is not in default. The Certificate shall be in recordable form, shall contain information necessary to communicate constructive record notice of the finding of compliance, shall state whether the Certificate is issued after a Periodic or Special Review and shall state the anticipated date of commencement of the next Periodic Review. OWNER may record the Certificate with the County Recorder.

Whether or not the Certificate is relied upon by assignees or other transferees or OWNER, CITY shall not be bound by a Certificate if a default existed at the time of the Periodic or Special Review, but was concealed from or otherwise not known to the City Manager or City Council.

6. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

6.1 Remedies in General. It is acknowledged by the parties that CITY would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to be liable in damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement or the application thereof. In general, each of the parties hereto may pursue any remedy at law or equity available for the breach of any provision of this Agreement, except that CITY shall not be liable in damages to OWNER, or to any successor in interest of OWNER, or to any other person, and OWNER covenants not to sue for damages or claim any damages:

"A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS

THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT

KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT

THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF

KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY

AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR
OR RELEASED PARTY."
By initialing below, OWNER hereby waives the provisions of Section 1542 in connection with the matters that are the subject of the foregoing waivers and releases. _______________

8. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall not prevent or limit OWNER, in any manner, at OWNER's sole discretion, from encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or any improvement thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device securing financing with respect to the Property. CITY acknowledges that the lenders providing such financing may require certain Agreement interpretations and modifications and agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with OWNER and representatives of such lenders to negotiate in good faith any such request for interpretation or modification. CITY will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation or modification provided such interpretation or modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any Mortgagee of the Property shall be entitled to the following rights and privileges:
(a) Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement shall defeat, render invalid, diminish or impair the lien of any mortgage on the Property made in good faith and for value, unless otherwise required by law.
(b) The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Property, or any part thereof, which Mortgagee, has submitted a request in writing to the CITY in the manner specified herein for giving notices, shall be entitled to receive written notification from CITY of any default by OWNER in the performance of OWNER's obligations under this Agreement.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17.04 (SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS) OF TITLE 17 (FIRE)

OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATED TO SOCIAL HOST LIABILITY AND

ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
WHEREAS, the City of Stanton, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California, authorized under its police powers to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws; and WHEREAS, the City may enact an ordinance regulating fireworks within its jurisdiction that is compatible with the State Fireworks Law (Health & Safety Code, § 12500 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the City currently regulates fireworks pursuant to Chapter 17.04 of the Stanton Municipal Code. Chapter 17.04 has been periodically updated to reflect changes in state law and guidance from the State Fire Marshall; and WHEREAS, in 2025, the City Council adopted a “social host regulation” related to fireworks to increase enforcement mechanisms available to law enforcement and code enforcement. The updated regulations were revised, in part, because City code enforcement and law enforcement have faced challenges correctly identifying and citing violators of Chapter 17.04 when fireworks are discharged at private residences or block parties during crowded gatherings. The social host regulations made the property owner or person in charge of a property strictly liable for allowing any person to sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property owned by such person or under the control of such person in violation of this chapter, irrespective of such person's intent, knowledge, or negligence; and
WHEREAS, through its social host ordinance, the City captured footage between July 2 through July 5, 2025 of at least 18 properties in which members of the public possessed or discharged dangerous fireworks in violation of City ordinances; and WHEREAS, each year following the Fourth of July holiday, the Orange County Fire Authority (“OCFA”) gathers data to analyze the overall impact of fireworks throughout Orange County. In the City, OCFA reported 30 fireworks-related calls between July 1 through July 7; calls for service in the City included a fire that appeared to be caused by a mortar-style firework. Moreover, according to the “2025 Independence Day After Action Report” prepared by OCFA, there were 44 reported County-wide injuries associated with fireworks. Thirty-nine percent of County-wide fireworks-related injuries were due to dangerous fireworks, while nine percent of injuries were due to safe and sane fireworks.

Most reported injuries within Orange County were burns to the head, face or ear.

Tragically, Buena Park had one child fatality this year. An 8-year-old girl was critically injured after a large quantity of illegal fireworks detonated and she later died due to injuries. County-wide fireworks-related property loss in 2025 was reported at $963,500 Item: 11A

with an increase in lost acreage of 1.75 acres (a 250% increase in lost acreage as compared to 2024); and
WHEREAS, regionally, illegal fireworks caused a number of tragic deaths in 2025; see, “8 year-old Anaheim girl dies after fireworks explosion in Buena Park,” OC Register, Jul. 5, 2025, “Illegal fireworks lab connected to massive California explosion is raided, spurring school evacuations,” LA Times, Oct. 28, 2025,
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-10-28/students-evacuated-as-lawenforcement-raids-illegal-fireworks-lab-in-east-l-a; “Deadly Fourth of July holiday: 3 killed in SoCal due to fireworks,” NBC Los Angeles, Jul. 6, 2025, https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/deadly-fourth-of-july-holiday-3-killed-in-socaldue-to-firework-mishaps/3739250/; “Fireworks explosion in Pacoima turns deadly after multiple homes set on fire,” ABC7 Los Angeles, July 5, 2025, https://abc7.com/post/firecrews-battling-residential-involving-active-fireworks-pacoima/16945427/); and WHEREAS, through this ordinance, the City Council wishes to further refine its fireworks ordinance in order to, among other things, clarify terms and adjust the administrative fines imposed on those who violate the City’s fireworks ordinance; and WHEREAS, the updated administrative fines as provided herein are not meant to be punitive but are intended to deter the sale, possession, ignition, and discharge of fireworks, particularly dangerous fireworks that are known to cause fires, injuries and death. The fines escalate so that the more dangerous fireworks are sold, possessed, ignited, or discharged, the higher the fine. Even one dangerous firework may injure, maim, or kill, and multiple dangerous fireworks risk an even higher likelihood of causing damage and death; and
WHEREAS, on March 24, 2026, the City Council considered the staff report, recommendations by staff and the City Attorney, and public comment regarding the amendment of SMC Chapter 17.04; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2: Section 17.04.050 “Definitions” is hereby added to Chapter 17.04 (Safe and Sane Fireworks) of Title 17 (Fire) of the Stanton Municipal Code to read in its entirety as follows:

ORDINANCE NO. 1170
PAGE 3 OF 7
“§ 17.04.050 Definitions
A. ‘Advertising’ shall have the same meaning as described in sections 12502 and 12670 of the California Health and Safety Code, as may be amended.

B. ‘Dangerous Fireworks’ shall have the same meaning as described in California Health and Safety Code section 12505.

C. ‘Discharge’ means any act that causes a release, ejection, emission, or otherwise projects outward or in the air of any firework.

D. ‘Fireworks’ shall have the same meaning as described in sections 12505 and 12511 of the California Health and Safety Code. The term “Fireworks,” for purposes of this Chapter, shall also include, any device, combustible material, or explosive material that is discharged, ignited, possessed, sold, advertised, rises in the air. For the purposes of this Chapter, the sale, possession, ignition, explosion, projection, or discharge of dangerous fireworks that release or have the potential to release either (1) multiple sets of combustible or explosive material that rises or is discharged into the air, or (2) multiple balls of fire or combustible or explosive material are discharged when a single fuse is ignited, shall result in one violation for each such discharge or potential discharge of any fireball, or combustible or explosive material. For example, a Firework identified as an “Aerial Barrage” contains one single package; within the single package, it contains six (6) dischargeable Fireworks that are ignited and discharged separate from each other.

In this case, there are six (6) Fireworks that are either used, possessed, ignited, discharged, advertised, or sold.

E. ‘Safe and Sane Fireworks’ shall have the same meaning as described in section 12529 of the Health and Safety Code, as may be amended.” SECTION 3: Section 17.04.010 of Chapter 17.04 (Safe and Sane Fireworks) of Title 17 (Fire) of the Stanton Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows “§ 17.04.010. Possession, sale, and discharge prohibited—Sale to minors prohibited.

It is unlawful for any person, entity, firm, or corporation to possess, maintain, advertise, sell, display, dispose of, give away, store, keep or stock, or to discharge, explode, ignite, fire or set off any fireworks anywhere in the city except in strict accordance with all federal, state, and local laws, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of this Chapter.

A. It is unlawful to sell fireworks to any person under the age of eighteen years.

B. No person under the age of eighteen years shall purchase any fireworks, including safe and sane fireworks.

ORDINANCE NO. 1170
PAGE 4 OF 7
C. No person under the age of eighteen years shall discharge any fireworks, including safe and sane fireworks, except when under the direct supervision and in the presence of an adult.”
SECTION 4: Section 17.04.072 of Chapter 17.04 (Safe and Sane Fireworks) of Title 17 (Fire) of the Stanton Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“§ 17.04.072 Liability of Property Owners or Persons in Control of Private Property.

A. It is unlawful for any property owner or person in control of property to cause, maintain, or allow (by his or her action or failure to act) another person or entity to sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, discharge, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property owned by such person or under the control of such person in violation of this chapter.

B. It is unlawful, and a property owner or person in control of property shall be strictly liable when any person or entity sells, possesses, ignites, explodes, projects, discharges, or otherwise fires or makes use of fireworks on the property owned by such person or under the control of such person in violation of this chapter, irrespective of whether the property owner or the person in control of the property had the intent or knowledge of such violation or otherwise acted negligently. Thus, said violation of this subsection (B) is hereby expressly declared a strict liability offense.

C. In addition to any other penalties provided by law, any person who commits a violation of this chapter shall be subject to an administrative penalty in the amount set forth in this chapter. A property owner or person in control of property shall not be in violation of this section if they seek immediate assistance from the Stanton Police Services, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, or Orange County Fire Authority to report a violation of this chapter.

D. When an act prohibited under this chapter occurs in the public right-of-way or any public property, the prohibited act may provide evidence of additional prohibited acts attributable to the property owner or person in control of private property that is in close proximity to the public right-of-way or public property where a prohibited act occurs. Factors that the City may consider include, without limitation, an individual coming and going from a private property and igniting or discharging fireworks in the public right-of-way and returning to the same or different private property that is in close proximity.

E. When the property owner or person in control of property did not sell, possess, ignite, explode, discharge, project, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property, penalties under this chapter may be assessed against both the property owner or person in control of the property and the person or entity who did sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, discharge, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property, and all of the responsible parties shall be jointly and ORDINANCE NO. 1170

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit liability and penalties under any other violations present under this Code, state law, federal law, or any other applicable law, rule, provision, or regulation.” SECTION 5: Subsections 17.04.100(H), (I), and (L) are hereby amended in their entirety and restated as follows, below:
§ 17.04.100 Administrative Penalty.

“L. In the case of a violation of Section 17.04.072(A) and/or (B), each sale, possession, ignition, explosion, projection, discharge, or otherwise firing or use of dangerous fireworks on a property shall be treated as a separate and distinct offense that is subject to a separate penalty, as described in Section

SECTION 6: CEQA. This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the proposed Ordinance is not anticipated to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, nor will the proposed changes have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, the City Council finds that the proposed Ordinance is not a “project” under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), which excludes the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,” as the proposed Ordinance is not anticipated to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 7: Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

SECTION 8: Effective Date. This Ordinance No. 1170 shall be effective 30 days after its adoption.

SECTION 9: Publication. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause a summary thereof to be published within fifteen (15) days of the adoption and shall post a Certified copy of this Ordinance, including the vote for and against the same, in the Office of the City Clerk, in accordance with Government Code Section 36933.
