TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dominic Lazzaretto, City Manager
By: Linda Rodriguez, Assistant City Clerk
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7351 DECLARING THAT WEEDS, BRUSH,
RUBBISH, AND REFUSE UPON OR IN FRONT OF SPECIFIED
PROPERTY IN THE CITY ARE A SEASONAL AND RECURRENT
PUBLIC NUISANCE, AND DECLARING AN INTENTION TO PROVIDE
FOR THE ABATEMENT THEREOF
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
The County of Los Angeles Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and
Measures (the “County”) has submitted a “Declaration List” of private properties within
the City that have been found by inspection to have hazardous weeds, brush, and
rubbish, which constitute an existing or potential hazard to the health and safety of
adjacent property owners. The County recommends that the City Council adopt a
resolution declaring that the conditions are a public nuisance and must be abated or
removed.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7351 and schedule the
protest public hearing for February 16, 2021.
BACKGROUND
Annually, the County inspects properties located in the City of Arcadia and declares that
hazardous conditions upon or in front of certain private property are a public nuisance
and must be removed or abated. A list of those affected properties which have been
found to have weeds, brush, and/or rubbish growing or occurring upon them is attached
as part of Resolution No. 7351 as Exhibit “A”.
At the request of the County, attached for City Council consideration is the adoption of
Resolution No. 7351 declaring that weeds, brush, rubbish, and refuse upon or in front of
specified property in the City are a seasonal and recurrent public nuisance, and
declaring its intention to provide for the abatement thereof. It is also recommended that

a public hearing be scheduled for February 16, 2021, at 7:00 p.m., as the date and time
for the City Council to hear protests, if any, from affected property owners.
The nuisance abatement process also allows property owners sufficient time to clean up
their properties before the County would provide services on their behalf. Quite often,
on large, vacant properties, it is easier and cheaper for the property owners to allow the
County to remove the weeds and debris and simply pay the nominal charge.
Upon adoption of Resolution No. 7351, the County will mail annual weed abatement
notices to those property owners.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of the County abating or
removing nuisances from those properties located in the City of Arcadia. Affected
property owners are assessed by the County directly for the removal of the weeds if
necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council find that the proposed action does not
constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act; and adopt
Resolution No. 7351 declaring that weeds, brush, rubbish, and refuse upon or in front of
specified property in the City are a seasonal and recurrent public nuisance, and
declaring its intention to provide for the abatement thereof; and schedule the protest
public hearing for February 16, 2021.
