As required by the California Government Code, the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner (“County”) mailed public hearing notices to all affected property owners. The attached Exhibit “A” identifies the properties requiring weed abatement by street address, or the general location if a street number has not been assigned. It is recommended that the City Council direct the County to abate the nuisances on the properties identified on the list included as Exhibit “A”. Representatives from the Los Angeles County Architectural Commissioner office will be present to address questions the City Council may have regarding this matter. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
