Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
On February 4, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 7292 declaring its intent
to abate weeds, brush, rubbish, and refuse from various private properties within the
City, and scheduled February 18, 2020, 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 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.
Representatives from the Los Angeles County Architectural Commissioner’s Office will
be present to address questions the City Council may have regarding this matter.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
This action does not require an environmental determination, as it is not considered a
project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
