Monterey Park
City Council
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.
