12. NEW BUSINESS
12A. URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTING PROPOSED CHAPTER 20.250 OF THE

STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE ALLOWING GROUP HOMES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DISABLED AND CORRESPONDING AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 20 OF THE

STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE
Orange County has seen a significant increase in the number of residential homes being utilized as alcohol and drug recovery facilities for large numbers of individuals (“recovery homes”). Recovery homes might provide services that require licensure by the State (as “alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities”), or they might not (referred to here as “sober-living homes”). Recovery homes are considered residential facilities, or “group homes,” for the disabled, which are protected under state and federal law. Certain group homes that provide medical and mental health care and supervision are also regulated by the State; however, group homes that do not provide such care to their residents are largely unregulated.

The State has recognized the need to prevent overconcentration of residential facilities that impairs the integrity of residential neighborhoods and leads to the institutionalization of such neighborhoods, which undermines the benefits of deinstitutionalization.

The City desires to protect group homes for the disabled and ensure that benefits of deinstitutionalization for such communities are not impeded by overcrowding and the proliferation of group homes. The City’s current regulations do not adequately address the current and immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare based on the overconcentration of residential facilities. The proposed regulations will preserve the characteristics of residential neighborhoods, provide opportunities for the disabled to reside in a residential zone that is enjoyed by the non-disabled, and provide a broader range of housing opportunities to the disabled.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. City Council determine that, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), 15378, and 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines; and

2. Adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 1173, entitled:
“AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

STANTON ALLOWING GROUP HOMES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
DISABLED; AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE EXEMPT FROM THE
CEQA UNDER STATE CEQA GUIDELINES §§ 15060(c)(2)-(3); 15378; 15061(b)(3).”

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: May 12, 2026
SUBJECT: CONTINUANCE OF THE PROCLAMATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF A

LOCAL EMERGENCY CAUSED BY HOMELESSNESS CRISIS
REPORT IN BRIEF:

At its meeting of November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution proclaiming the existence of a local emergency. Based on the continuing impacts of homelessness on public health and safety within the City of Stanton, the City Council’s proclamation of the existence of a local emergency will continue until further notice.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. Receive and file the report.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

The City has seen an increase in its homeless population since 2019, despite significant allocation of resources and funds to combat homelessness in the City. This increase has been coupled with an increase in health and safety concerns, such as an increase in criminal activity, open-air drug use (fentanyl in particular), open fires, obscene/lewd acts in public, increase in vectors, and public defecation; individuals sleeping, camping, and storing personal property in a manner that obstructs access to the public right-of-way; interruption in the enjoyment and access to public facilities equally by all residents; and death, illness, injury and poor living conditions for those unable to find housing. In response to public health and safety concerns, at its meeting of November 26, 2024, the City Council adopted a resolution proclaiming the existence of a local emergency caused by the homelessness crisis (Attachment A).

Item: 9D
Click here to return to the agenda.

Based on the continuing impacts of homelessness on public health and safety within the City of Stanton, and pursuant to the City’s police power, the City Council’s proclamation of the existence of a local emergency will continue until further notice. The City Council previously reviewed the proclamation at its meetings of January 14, 2025, March 11, 2025, June 10, 2025, July 8, 2025, August 26, 2025, October 14, 2025, December 9, 2025, January 27, 2026, and March 24, 2026.
• For the month of March 2026, City staff had at least 119 encounters with homeless individuals. Regarding offers of placement in shelters, out of 119 actions, 97% (115) resulted in homeless individuals declining shelter. The City continues to get numerous calls of concern and complaints from the following hotspot locations:
o Western & Katella
o Western & Industrial
o Mercantile & Katella
o Tina Pacific
• On February 5, 2025, at approximately 12:22 a.m. there was a call for service to the Orange County Fire Authority regarding a fire at Tina Pacific. Crews responded and discovered a fire in two vacant units of a partially occupied four-plex.

Thankfully, there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. The two legitimate tenants were displaced by the fire as the four-plex was red-tagged. The four-plex was ultimately demolished.
• City staff continue to receive numerous calls regarding homeless individuals engaging in open-air drug use in front of multi-family housing units and commercial plazas.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact of declaring a local emergency is unknown at this time but it confers the powers required to provide an immediate, necessary response to the City’s homelessness crisis to protect all City residents and businesses.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) because they do not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. Section 15378 explicitly excludes from its definition of “project” the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) This action would declare a continuing local emergency under the Stanton Municipal Code and continue to empower the director and assistant director of emergency services to direct the emergency organization of the City in response to the homeless crisis. This action is considered administrative because it will not result in a physical change in the environment, and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

Moreover, the action will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment, and the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

Notification and advertisement were performed as prescribed by law.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

Goal 1. Provide a safe community.

Goal 2. Promote a strong local economy.

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

Declaring a local emergency under the Stanton Municipal Code and the Government Code will provide the City Manager with additional powers as Director of Emergency Services in order to take necessary steps to address the homelessness crisis.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

1. City Council declare the action to not be subject to CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b)(5).); and

CONDITIONS OF HOMELESSNESS WITHIN THE CITY OF STANTON,

WHICH IF NOT CORRECTED, CONSTITUTES AN IMMINENT AND

IN THE CITY”.

Click here to return to the agenda.

BACKGROUND:

Like many other regions in California, the City of Stanton (“City”) has seen a rapid and troubling growth in homelessness in the City. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this circumstance, which has been difficult to address given the high cost of housing and shortage of emergency, transitional, and affordable housing across the State.

The City’s Investments in Combating the Homelessness Crisis:

Independently, and in conjunction with the State’s directives to combat homelessness and address the housing crisis, the City has made significant investments in assisting its unhoused community. Additionally, the City is a member of the North Service Planning Area (“North SPA”), an organization of 14 cities in Orange County established in 2019 to combat homelessness in the region. The City’s investments include, but are not limited to the following activities, representing funding of over $15 million since 2017:
• Funding two full-time and one part-time Homeless Outreach Coordinator positions at the City, for a total cost since 2017 of just over $2 million; • Funding and welcoming three Project Homekey permanent supportive housing projects to the City, totaling 153 units, and connecting unhoused residents throughout the region to those units. The City’s contribution across the Project Homekey sites was $6 million, and was the first city in the State to open three sites in their jurisdiction;
• Funding two navigation centers in Buena Park and Placentia to provide safe and secure shelter housing as well as providing comprehensive programs and services. The City’s contribution to the centers during the first five years of operation has been approximately $660,000, and the City’s financial commitment in the next five years is estimated to be $2.5 million based on increased maintenance and operational costs;
• Funding the regional Homeless Outreach and Proactive Engagement (“HOPE”) Center of Orange County in the amount of $5 million and serving as their fiscal agent;
• Having the City Manager serve on the Board of the North SPA Collaborative; • Partnering with Illumination Foundation to expand shelter access in the region. The Illumination Foundation is an Orange County-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing comprehensive services for the most vulnerable homeless population; • Providing bridge housing opportunities since 2020 at just over $150,000; • Providing transportation services; and
• Providing document retrieval assistance and funding to recover important documents, to connect homeless people with resources and employment.

Additionally, the City’s law enforcement and Public Safety staff spend a disproportionate amount of time and resources addressing the City’s homelessness crisis. This causes the City’s Public Safety staff to work overtime, increasing personnel costs to the City, and exacerbating delays in addressing other public safety matters. The City’s Public Safety Department collectively devotes one-third of their time on issues related to homelessness.

The City’s Homeless Population Increase Over Time, Despite Significant Investments Despite these significant efforts, the City’s homeless population has exponentially increased since 2019. According to the County’s 2024 Point in Time Count, the City has experienced a 138 percent increase in its unsheltered population from 2019 to 2024, and a 78 percent total increase in its homeless population (including both sheltered and unsheltered individuals). (See https://ceo.ocgov.com/sites/ceo/files/2024- 05/2024%20PIT%20Summary%20-%20FINAL%205.16.24.pdf.)
Table 1. City of Stanton Point in Time Homeless Count
2019 to 2024
In contrast, the County of Orange has experienced a much smaller 7 percent increase in its homeless population since 2019, and the North SPA has experienced a 17 percent increase in its homeless population since 2019.

Table 2. % Increase in Total Homelessness
2019 to 2024
The City’s homeless population ranks as the fifth largest homeless population within the North SPA even though, geographically, it is one of smallest cities within the area at only

3.1 square miles. Only significantly larger North SPA cities (Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park, and Orange) have a higher homeless count. Among all 34 Orange County cities, the City’s homeless population ranks as the 11th largest.

While the City has been able to successfully refer a small number of homeless individuals to the North SPA navigation centers in the Cities of Buena Park and Placentia, those centers are now at capacity. In 2024, the City has only been able to successfully refer 18 people to the two navigation centers for assistance. County-wide, only 1 out of every 12 homeless individuals are successfully connected to housing.

Additionally, many homeless individuals also struggle with substance use disorder and serious mental illness. These are in addition to other challenges that the City is not equipped to support without the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat, such as Orange County Behavioral Health Services, and state and federal agencies.1 The graphic, below, gives a snapshot of just some the challenges that homeless adults in Orange County face.
1 2024 Point In Time Summary, County of Orange.

Table 3. Disabling Conditions Impacting Homeless Individuals These difficulties are exacerbated by the nationwide fentanyl crisis. According to a 2024 Orange County Sheriff’s Department report2, the leading cause of death among people experiencing homelessness is accidental, with the vast majority of accidental deaths caused by drug use with fentanyl. These numbers have increased steadily since 2018. In 2021, 7 out of 8 deaths among people experiencing homelessness in Stanton were accidental.3 From 2021 to 2022, the number of deaths among people experiencing homelessness in Stanton rose by 150 percent, from 8 reported deaths to 12.4 2 Report on 2022 Orange County Homeless Deaths, Sheriff-Coroner Homeless Death Review Committee.

4 Report on 2022 Orange County Homeless Deaths, Sheriff-Coroner Homeless Death Review Committee. Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

The City must create multiple paths to address a complex and growing homelessness crisis. Like many California cities, Stanton has a continuing need for affordable, permanent housing, along with shelters and interim housing to be developed quickly to better transition people off the streets. The City also needs additional assistance from County, State, and federal agencies to address complex health and safety issues beyond the scope of its current staff and resources. Moreover, the City needs increased ability and resources to hire or contract critical roles, including candidates with specific expertise necessary to provide a critical response to the City’s homelessness crisis.

Declaring a local emergency would provide the City with greater flexibility, increased ability, and streamlined systems to address the City’s homelessness crisis with necessary urgency.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

Chapter 2.64 of the Stanton Municipal Code, “Emergency Organization and Functions,” allows the City Council to declare a local emergency on its own accord or at the request of the City Manager to provide for (1) the preparation and carrying out of plans for the protection of persons and property within the city in the event of an emergency; (2) the direction of the emergency organization; and (3) the coordination of the emergency functions of this city with all other public agencies, corporations, organizations, and affected private persons.

A “local emergency,” as defined under Section 2.64.020, means the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within this city caused by such conditions as air pollution, fire, flood, storm, epidemic, riot, or earthquake, or other conditions which are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.

When a “local emergency” is declared by the City Council, the City Manager, as Director of Emergency Services or the City, is granted additional power and authority related to the City’s response to the local emergency. The City Manager is empowered to:
• Control and direct the effort of the emergency organization of the City for the accomplishment of addressing the local emergency;
• Direct cooperation between and coordination of services and staff of the emergency organization of the City;
• Represent the City in all dealings with public or private agencies on matters pertaining to emergencies as defined in this chapter;
• Make and issue rules and regulations on matters reasonably related to the protection of life and property as affected by such emergency; provided, however, such rules and regulations must be confirmed at the earliest practical time by the City Council;
• Obtain vital supplies, equipment, and such other properties found lacking and needed for the protection of life and property on behalf of the City, and, if required immediately, to commandeer the same for public use;
• Require emergency services of any city officer or employee and to command the aid of as many citizens of this community as he/she deems necessary in the execution of his/her duties; such persons shall be entitled to all privileges, benefits, and immunities as are provided by state law for registered disaster service workers;
• Requisition necessary personnel or material of any city department or agency; • Execute all existing authority as City Manager and all special power conferred upon him/her by the City Council, by resolution, ordinance, or emergency plan; • Appoint an Assistant Director of Emergency Services, who shall, under the supervision of the Director and with the assistance of emergency service chiefs, develop emergency plans and manage the emergency programs of the City; and shall have such other powers and duties as may be assigned by the Director.

Additionally, the City Disaster Council is empowered to develop and recommend for approval to the City Council emergency and mutual aid plans and agreements, and any ordinances, resolutions, rules, and regulations necessary to implement such plans and agreements. The Disaster Council is comprised of the Mayor, City Manager, Assistant Director of Emergency Services, Chiefs of Emergency Services, and others appointed by the Director with the advice and consent of the City Council.

By declaring a local emergency, the City Manager, Disaster Council, and City Council will be able to provide an immediate, necessary response to the City’s homelessness crisis to protect all City residents. The City’s normal hiring and contracting processes may be expedited, and the City will be able to immediately allocate necessary resources and personnel to take emergency action.

In accordance with California Government Code, Section 8630(c), the emergency declaration requires the City Council to review the need for continuing the local emergency at least every 60 days until the City Council terminates the local emergency.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The report details over $15 million in funding that has been allocated to address issues related to homelessness, including outreach services, since 2017. This fiscal impact reflects those categories of expenditures that are easily tracked and coded to homelessness efforts and initiatives. The true amount the City has expended over the years to address issues related to homelessness would be significantly larger if all personnel activities and efforts were meticulously allocated.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed actions are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“Public Resources Code section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) because they do not qualify as a “project” under CEQA. Section 15378 explicitly excludes from its definition of “project” the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.” (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378(b)(5).) This action would declare a local emergency under the Stanton Municipal Code and empower the director and assistant director of emergency services to direct the emergency organization of the City in response to the homeless crisis. This action is considered administrative because it will not result in a physical change in the environment, and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

Any permit that may be issued will be subject to its own CEQA analysis.

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA,

PROCLAIMING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY CAUSED BY

CONDITIONS AND THREATENED CONDITIONS OF HOMELESSNESS WITHIN THE

CITY OF STANTON, WHICH IF NOT CORRECTED, CONSTITUTES AN IMMINENT

AND PROXIMATE THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY IN THE CITY

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, the City of Stanton “City” is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California; and WHEREAS, California Government Code 8630, et seq., and Chapter 2.64 of Title 2 of the Stanton Municipal Code provide that the Stanton City Council (“City Council”) may proclaim local emergencies; and
WHEREAS, like many other regions in California, the City has seen a rapid and troubling growth in the homeless population of the City, a condition that has been difficult to address given the traditionally high cost of housing and property in the region, and the historic shortage of emergency, transitional, and affordable housing across the state; and WHEREAS, Executive Order N-1-24, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 24, 2024, acknowledged the dire state of the homelessness crisis in California and ordered state agencies and departments to address encampments on state property. Moreover, the Executive Order ordered that local governments are encouraged to use all available resources and infrastructure, to take action with the urgency this crisis demands to humanely remove encampments from public spaces, prioritizing those encampments that most threaten the life, health, and safety of those in and around them; and WHEREAS, independently and in conjunction with the State’s directives to combat homelessness and address the housing crisis, the City has made significant investments in assisting its unhoused community. These investments include, but are not limited to:
creating and funding additional staff positions dedicated to homelessness outreach, funding and participating in regional outreach and navigation centers, expanding transportation services and shelter access in the region, and funding and welcoming three Project Homekey permanent supportive housing projects to the City totaling 153 units; and
WHEREAS, according to the City’s 2024 Point in Time Count, the City has experienced a 138 percent increase in its unsheltered population from 2019 to 2024, and a 78 percent total increase in its homeless population (including both sheltered and unsheltered individuals), despite the City’s significant investments in combating homelessness and assisting the unhoused community. In contrast, Orange County has experienced only a 7 percent increase in its homeless population since 2019, and surrounding cities have experienced significantly less homeless population growth; and WHEREAS, despite the City’s efforts to connect homeless individuals with regional assistance centers, the City has only been able to refer 18 people in the last 10 months to the regional Navigation Centers in Buena Park and Placentia due to overpopulation; and
WHEREAS, regional data shows that a significant percentage of unsheltered homeless individuals also suffer disproportionately from complex health issues, such as substance use disorder, serious mental illness, and physical disability, and require assistance from the City, Orange County Behavioral Health Services, and other local, state, and federal health agencies and nonprofit organizations to provide the necessary public services; and WHEREAS, the homelessness crisis confronting the City has grown both incrementally and exponentially, leading to death, illness, injury, and poor living conditions. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department Report of 2022 Orange County Homeless Deaths, 65 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents, and the leading cause of accidental deaths is drug use with fentanyl. This is compared to 2019, when 46 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents, and 2020, when 54 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents, and 2021, when 59 percent of deaths among people experiencing homelessness were caused by accidents. Between 2021 and 2022, the number of deaths among people experiencing homelessness in Stanton has risen by 150 percent; and
WHEREAS, the displacement of the number of people living on the streets of the City today is a daily recurring emergency, constituting the actual or threatened existence of conditions of disaster or of extreme peril to the safety of persons and property in the City which are beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of this city, and requires the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat; and WHEREAS, notwithstanding the City’s continued commitment to addressing the homelessness crisis, including dedication of funding and investments into homelessness solutions, programs, and initiatives, an emergency declaration is necessary to mobilize resources, faster and with urgency, for the public health, welfare, and safety of all; and WHEREAS, the City’s ability to mobilize local resources, coordinate interagency response, accelerate procurement of housing units, use mutual aid, and seek assistance and potential reimbursement by the State and Federal governments will be critical to successfully responding to this homelessness crisis; and WHEREAS, during the pendency of the existence of a local emergency, the City Council shall retain its full authority to consider a variety of City ordinances to codify the measures necessary to address this homelessness crisis; and
WHEREAS, the benefits of this emergency declaration, coupled with past and future actions by the City Council to address the homelessness crisis, will help ensure that this local emergency will be of a temporary nature.

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

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

SECTION 2: The City Council finds this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the Resolution is not anticipated to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, nor will the Resolution have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, the City Council finds that the proposed Resolution 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 Resolution is not anticipated to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 3: Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630 and Stanton Municipal Code sections 2.64.020 and 2.64.060(A)(1), the City Council hereby finds and proclaims the existence of a local emergency caused by conditions or threatened conditions of homelessness in Stanton, which, if not corrected, constitutes a threat to the safety of persons and property within the territorial limits of the City beyond the control of the services, personnel equipment, and facilities of the City, requiring the combined forces of other political subdivisions to combat.

SECTION 4: During the continued threatened existence and actual existence of the local emergency, the powers, functions and duties of the City Manager, as the Director of Emergency Services, the Assistant Director of Emergency Services, to be appointed by the Director, the Disaster Council of the City, and the emergency organization of the City shall be those prescribed by state law, by ordinances and resolutions of the City and approved by the City Council.

SECTION 5: The City Manager, as the Director of Emergency Services, is hereby authorized to furnish information, to enter into agreements, including, but not limited to, applications and agreements for grant funding, and to take all actions necessary to obtain emergency assistance from State and federal agencies to implement preventive measures to protect and preserve the City within the scope of the local emergency hereby declared, pursuant to the powers and duties prescribed under Chapter 2.64 of the Stanton Municipal Code. Pursuant to Section 2.64.090 of the Stanton Municipal Code, any expenditures made in connection with emergency activities, including mutual aid activities, shall be deemed conclusively to be for the direct protection and benefit of the inhabitants and property of the City.

SECTION 6: City staff are hereby directed to provide the City Council with a report of actions taken under this Resolution at the next practicable opportunity, and no less than on a monthly basis.

SECTION 7: The City shall coordinate its efforts to address this proclaimed emergency with the other local jurisdictions, the County of Orange, the State of California, and the federal government.

SECTION 8: Executive Order N-1-24, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 24, 2024, acknowledged the dire state of the homelessness crisis in California and directed resources to state agencies and departments to address encampments. The City Council requests the Governor to proclaim a "state of emergency" to combat homelessness and direct resources to support the efforts of major cities in the State of California to address the problem, in furtherance and consistent with Executive Order N-1-24.

SECTION 9: This Proclamation of Emergency shall sunset on December 31, 2025, subject to being renewed. The setting of a specific time frame allows for actions to be taken to make permanent, necessary structural changes. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 8630, the City Council shall, by minute action, review the need for continuing the local emergency at least once every 60 days until it terminates the local emergency.

SECTION 10: Pursuant to Government Code section 3100, in protection of the health and safety and preservation of the lives and property of the people from emergencies which result in conditions of extreme peril to life, property and resources, all public employees are hereby declared disaster service workers subject to such disaster service activities as may be assigned to them by their superiors or by law.

SECTION 11: Severability. If any provision of this Resolution or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications, and to this end the provisions of this Resolution are declared to be severable.

SECTION 12: Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective immediately. The City clerk shall attest and certify to the passage and adoption thereof.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: May 12, 2026
SUBJECT: SECOND AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE WITH ILLUMINATION

FOUNDATION
REPORT IN BRIEF:

Staff is recommending approval of a Second Amendment to the existing lease agreement with the Illumination Foundation for the property located at 7855 Katella Avenue. The amendment establishes a new lease term with an expiration date of December 31, 2026 and positions the City to regain control of the facility to better align its use with current City priorities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the Second Amendment to Office Lease with Illumination Foundation.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:

In 2012, the City of Stanton entered into a lease agreement with the Illumination Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing services to individuals experiencing homelessness, for use of the City-owned property located at 7855 Katella Avenue. Over time, the partnership has supported various service delivery efforts and reflected the City’s broader commitment to addressing homelessness in the community.

While the original intent of the lease was to support collaborative and innovative approaches to homelessness services, the environment has significantly evolved since 2012. The City has since made substantial investments in regional navigation centers, Project Homekey developments, and other housing and service programs, and has continued to refine its approach to addressing homelessness in a more comprehensive and strategic manner.

Item: 9E
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 In addition, the Illumination Foundation has evolved its own organizational priorities and service delivery model over time. As the organization has expanded regionally and shifted its operational focus, the services currently being provided at the subject site no longer reflect the original scope, intent, or level of localized benefit contemplated at the inception of the lease.

As a result of these changes, the current lease arrangement no longer serves its originally intended purpose and is not aligned with the City’s current service delivery model. The proposed Second Amendment establishes a termination date of December 31, 2026, allowing for an orderly transition and conclusion of the existing lease.

Upon expiration of the lease, the City will regain full control of the facility. This will provide the City with the opportunity to evaluate and program the future use of the property in a manner that better serves the needs of the Stanton community as a whole. Staff anticipates that future use of the site will be guided by considerations of community benefit, operational effectiveness, and fiscal responsibility.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed amendment itself does not have an immediate fiscal impact. However, regaining control of the facility will allow the City to evaluate future uses and opportunities for the site that are fiscally responsible and aligned with City priorities.

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 Second Amendment to Office Lease.

STRATEGIC GOAL:

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

Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord for any and all loss, cost, damage, liability or expense as incurred (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs) arising out of or related to any claim, suit or judgment brought by or in favor of any person or persons for damage, loss or expense which arises out of, is occasioned by or is in any way attributable to the Abandoned Items.”

1.3 Option to Extend. Section 24.15, “Option to Extend,” of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

14.04 Landlord's Consent; Standards. Landlord's consent to a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld; but, in addition to any other grounds for denial, Landlord's consent shall be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Landlord's good faith judgment:

Tenant shall, upon demand, execute any documents reasonably requested by any such person to evidence the attornment described in this Section 17.02.

17.03 Mortgagee Protection.

default within the 30 day grace period provided above, then the Notified Party shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if the Notified Party has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default).

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: May 12, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR THE

STANTON EXPRESS BROCHURE PRINTING SERVICES
REPORT IN BRIEF:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a three-year Professional Services Agreement with Southwest Offset Printing for the printing and mailing of the Stanton Express recreation brochure.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. City Council declare that the project is not subject to CEQA in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA; and

2. City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with Southwest Offset Printing for the printing and mailing of the Stanton Express recreation brochure; and

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and approve amendments, extensions, and non-substantive changes.

BACKGROUND:

The Community Services Department is currently under contract with Southwest Offset Printing to print and mail the Stanton Express recreation brochure three times per year (Summer, Fall and Winter/Spring). This contract is set to expire on June 30, 2026 after an initial award and two one-year extensions.

Staff initiated a request for proposals for print and mailing services on March 9, 2026 and received one bid.

Item: 9G
Click here to return to the agenda.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

The Stanton Express brochure advertises the Community Services department’s upcoming classes and events and informs Stanton residents of important updates occurring in our City.

Currently, the Stanton Express is mailed to just over 17,000 households within the City of Stanton city limits. The Community Services department distributes an additional 600 brochures across City Hall, Stanton Central Park and the Stanton Family Resource Center to walk up patrons.

On March 9, 2026, staff initiated a request for proposals for printing and distribution of the Stanton Express brochure and one response was received.

Despite receiving only one proposal, staff are confident in recommending Southwest Offset Printing based on the firm’s demonstrated history of providing high quality printing and reliable distribution services. The proposal submitted also reflects competitive and reasonable pricing when compared to previous contracts and current market conditions. Additionally, the vendor has consistently met project timelines and performance expectations.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed agreement is for a three-year term from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029 with an annual not-to-exceed amount of $26,000 for a total contract amount not to exceed $78,000 over the term of the agreement, subject to annual budget appropriation.

The annual budget will be accounted for within the Community Services Department Account No. 101-5500-623115.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

In accordance with Section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA review.

LEGAL REVIEW:

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

City of Stanton
Fiscal Year 2026-27
1 PART I – OVERVIEW
The purpose of this Report is to set forth findings and engineering analysis for the Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 for the 2026-27 Fiscal Year. The boundaries of the District are coterminous with the boundaries of the City of Stanton. This District, utilizing direct benefit assessments, (1) supplements revenue generated by the existing 1919 Act Stanton Municipal Lighting District to fund the maintenance and operation of the City’s street lighting system and costs of providing maintenance and operation of the traffic signals in the City, and (2) covers the costs of maintaining median landscaping in the City of Stanton.

The City Council of Stanton adopted Resolution No. 81-20 on March 10, 1981, which formed the Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 in accordance with the requirements of the Landscaping and Lighting Act (Streets and Highways Code 22500) and confirmed assessments for the first Fiscal Year, 1981-82. The City Council has conducted the proceedings required annually to levy the assessment. This Report covers the levy of annual assessments for the 2026-27 Fiscal Year.

This Report, as signed and presented to the Council for approval, has been prepared according to the methodology and rates approved by the City Council in 1981. Article XIIID of the California Constitution exempted certain assessments which were in existence prior to the passage of Proposition 218 in November, 1996. The City has determined that all of the improvements and the annual assessments for the District are for the maintenance and operation of lighting and landscaping within the public street right-of-way. As such, the current assessment amount is exempt from the procedures and approval process set forth in Article XIIID Section 4.

4 PART III – COST ESTIMATE
The City's budget for the operations and services costs of the street lighting and median landscaping improvements, shown below, detail the estimated costs and fund balances for Fiscal Year 2026-27 as available at the time of preparation of this Report.

The Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972 (“Act” or “1972 Act”) provides that the total cost can be recovered in the assessment spread including incidental expenses. The latter can include engineering fees, legal fees, printing, mailing, postage, publishing, and all other related costs identified with the district proceedings.

In 2019 the City purchased 960 street lights within the City, previously owned and maintained by Southern California Edison Company (SCE). The City has assumed responsibility for the servicing and maintenance of those lights. The 1919 Act funds were used to convert the lights to LED.

Estimated expenditures and revenues for the maintenance and operation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 are as follows:

6 PART IV - METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT

GENERAL
Part 2 of Division 15 of the Streets and Highways Code, the 1972 Act, permits the establishment of assessment districts by cities for the purpose of providing certain public improvements which include the construction, maintenance and servicing of street lights, traffic signals and landscaping.

Section 22573 of the Act requires that maintenance assessments be levied according to benefit rather than according to assessed value. This section states:
"The net amount to be assessed upon lands within an assessment district may be apportioned by any formula or method which fairly distributes the net amount among all assessable lots or parcels in proportion to the estimated benefits to be received by each such lot or parcel from the improvements.

Because assessments are levied on the basis of benefit, they are not a tax, and, therefore, are not governed by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.

The Act permits the designation of zones of benefit within any individual assessment district if "by reason of variations in the nature, location, and extent of the improvements, the various areas will receive different degrees of benefit from the improvements." (Sec. 22574). Thus, the Act requires the levy of a true "assessment" rather than a "special tax."
The Act also permits certain parcels to be exempt from assessment. Excepted from these assessments are areas of all publicly owned property such as: public streets, public avenues, public lanes, public roads, public drives, public courts, public alleys, all public easements and rights-of-way, all public parks, green belts and parkways, and all public property being used for public purposes.

BENEFIT ANALYSIS
All parcels in the City of Stanton derive benefit from the street lighting system and arterial highway median maintenance on Beach and on Katella. The intent of this Report is to establish a methodology that fairly distributes the cost of the system in relation to the benefits received. A portion of the cost of arterial median maintenance is considered a special benefit to abutting properties. The percentage of special benefit to be allocated may vary as parcels reconfigure or change classification. As these medians are on regional arterial highways, a benefit accrues to the entire City as well, and the remaining portion of the cost is assessed on that basis. Median maintenance on Village Center Drive, a local street, benefits only the abutting properties and will be assessed on that basis. Lands and rights-of-way owned by railroads and public utilities are included in this proposed assessment district as permitted by Section 22595 of the Streets and Highways Codes.

Engineer’s Report
Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1
City of Stanton
Fiscal Year 2026-27
7 The assessment ratio for each single family residential parcel, including condominiums, is one equivalent unit (EQU); the assessment ratio for each acre of commercial, industrial, church, apartment, duplex, triplex, mobile home park, and other developed land is six equivalent units (EQU). This relationship is based on the City's typical standard residential lot area and the number of lots that could be subdivided into an acre of land. This proration accounts for an adjustment for street rights-of-way and public easements.

Street Lighting and Traffic Signals
The street lighting and traffic signal improvements provide special and direct benefits to properties within the District by enhancing visibility, access, and safety specific to each parcel. These improvements support safe and reliable ingress and egress, improve nighttime visibility adjacent to properties, and facilitate safer vehicle and pedestrian travel to and from individual parcels.

Proper illumination and signalization adjacent to parcels enhance property accessibility, usability, and desirability, and contribute to reduced risks of accidents and hazards that could otherwise impair access to properties. In addition, lighting in proximity to parcels deters crime and vandalism, thereby contributing to the protection of property.

Traffic signals within and serving the District improve localized traffic circulation and access, reducing delays and conflicts that directly affect the ability to reach individual parcels. These improvements provide a particular and distinct benefit to properties within the District, above and beyond any general benefit to the public at large.

The costs associated with the administration and maintenance of these improvements are necessary to ensure the continued delivery of these special benefits to the assessed parcels.

Median Landscaping
The median landscaping, including trees, irrigation, hardscaping, and appurtenant facilities, provides special and direct benefits to identified parcels within the District. These benefits are conferred through the enhancement of the immediate frontage, visual environment, and neighborhood character directly adjacent to and serving those parcels. Such improvements increase the desirability, marketability, and usability of properties, particularly those with direct frontage or proximity to the landscaped medians.

While median improvements may provide some general benefit to the public at large, including aesthetic enjoyment and community-wide appearance, the special benefits are distinct and proportional to the relationship between each parcel and the improvements, including frontage, proximity, and visibility.

The median improvements are located as follows:

Beach Boulevard and Katella Avenue Medians
Engineer’s Report
Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1
City of Stanton
Fiscal Year 2026-27
8 These improvements provide a Citywide (General) Benefit and a Local (Special) Benefit to parcels within the District. Therefore the costs for maintaining and servicing these improvements has been apportioned between general and special benefits.

Citywide Benefit
A portion of the improvements provide Citywide Benefit to the broader public and community at large. This portion is allocated across all assessable parcels in the City which do not directly front the Beach and/or Katella medians, based on Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs). This year the Equivalent Units generated by the parcels in this category represents approximately 76% of the total units.

Local Benefit
The remaining portion of the improvements provides special and direct benefits to the parcels that front and are immediately adjacent to the Beach and Katella median improvements. These parcels receive an enhanced level of benefit due to their direct visual exposure and improved frontage conditions.

The cost of this special benefit is apportioned based on parcel frontage, which is a reasonable and proportional measure of benefit, as parcels with greater frontage along the improvements receive a greater degree of special benefit. This year the Equivalent Units generated by the parcels in this category represents approximately 24% of the total units.

Village Center Medians
The Village Center median improvements provide special and direct benefits exclusively to those parcels that abut and are directly served by the improvements. These benefits include enhanced frontage aesthetics, improved pedestrian environment, and increased property desirability and usability.

No general benefit has been identified for these improvements. Therefore, 100% of the costs are attributed to special benefit and are assessed solely to the abutting parcels.

The assessment is apportioned based on parcel frontage, which reflects the proportional benefit received, as parcels with greater frontage experience a greater level of direct visual and environmental enhancement from the improvements.

ZONE CLASSIFICATIONS
The land-use classification for each parcel has been based on the Orange County Assessor's Roll.

Zone R - This zone includes all single family residential properties, including condominiums, except those abutting the Beach and Katella Medians and/or Village Center Medians. They are assessed lighting, traffic signals, and general median costs on an equivalent unit basis. There are 5,128 single family residential parcels, including condominiums, in this zone. Where there is new development that has not yet Engineer’s Report

Zone C - This zone includes commercial, industrial, church, apartment, duplex, triplex, mobile home park and all other non-residential properties except those abutting the Beach and Katella Medians and the Village Center Medians. They are assessed lighting, traffic signals and general median costs on an equivalent unit basis. There are 692 parcels in this zone with 540.72 acres.

Zone C1 - This zone includes Zone C type properties abutting the Beach and Katella Medians. They are assessed lighting and traffic signals costs on an equivalent unit basis, and Beach and Katella Median costs on a front foot basis.

10 Assessment Summary
The following table summarizes the different assessments for the different Zone Classifications, and compares the proposed assessments with last year's assessments. The proposed rates for Fiscal Year 2026-27 may increase or decrease depending on the number of equivalent units so long as it does not exceed the maximum assessment rates shown in the Apportionment of Assessments table above.

Any increase to the maximum assessment rates would require compliance with the provisions of Proposition 218, including a property owner ballot proceeding. An increase may only be implemented if a majority of the weighted ballots submitted by property owners support the proposed increase.

Until such approval is obtained, the maximum assessment rates remain in effect, and any funding required for capital improvements or operating shortfalls will need to be addressed through alternative funding sources, such as General Fund contributions.
