City Council

12D. UPDATE ON REGULATIONS RELATING TO LOST, STOLEN, OR ABANDONED\nSHOPPING AND LAUNDRY CARTS\nThe City Council requested staff to provide a report regarding whether there have been\nany updates to the law regarding lost, stolen, or abandoned shopping and laundry carts\nand to advise whether the City could make any changes to its Municipal Code.\nStanton’s current ordinance generally represents the current state of best practices\nunder shopping cart regulations found in Bus. & Prof. Code section 22435 et seq.\nRECOMMENDED ACTION:\n1. City Council find that the ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California\nEnvironmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections\n15378(a) (the ordinance is not a “project” and has no potential for resulting in\nphysical change to the environment, directly or indirectly) and 15061(b)(3) (there is\nno possibility that the ordinance or its implementation would have a significant\nnegative effect on the environment) (14 Cal. Code Regs.); and\n2. Consider whether to direct the City Attorney to bring back modifications to the City’s\nshopping cart control ordinance.\nOctober 10, 2023
