Approving the artwork submitted by artists Jeffrey Hsieh, Andrew Davis, and Timothy Yan for a mural in Barnes Park celebrating all the parks in Monterey Park; 2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable. CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act): The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed action pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). Under CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3), CEQA does not apply where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed action consists of approving artwork to be painted on an existing City facility and has no possibility of causing a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, the proposed action is exempt from CEQA. | September 16, 2026 Order of Business 10 # A | LA County | Monterey Park | City Council | 6ac4379f878302ed9befcf3d |

| September 16, 2026 | Order of Business 10 | D | 10.D. Resolution supporting Measure HOM, a ballot proposition creating HOME (Housing Overlay - Mixed Environments) Overlays in the City’s Commercial and Industrial Areas, for the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election It is recommended that the City Council consider: 1. Adopting a Resolution supporting Measure HOM, a ballot proposition creating HOME Overlays in the City’s Commercial and Industrial Areas for the November 3, 2026 General Municipal Election; and 2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable. CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act): These actions are not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because the Council would adopt a resolution supporting a ballot measure at the November 3, 2026 general municipal election. Such actions do not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. If the voters approve Measure HOM, the City Council’s subsequent adoption of the implementing HOME Overlay Zoning regulations and its discretionary approval of any project activating a HOME overlay on a particular parcel, will each be reviewed under CEQA at that time. Accordingly, the proposed resolution and related actions do not constitute a “project” under CEQA. | September 16, 2026 Order of Business 10 # D | LA County | Monterey Park | City Council | 6ac4379f878302ed9befcf37 |
