Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
On February 5, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7241 declaring its intent
to abate weeds, brush, rubbish and refuse from various private properties within the
City, and scheduled February 19, 2019, as the time and place to hear objections from
the owners of such properties to the proposed removal of flammable and otherwise
noxious material.
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.
