CONSIDERATION OF LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR ACTION ALLIANCE FOR THE
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM (HHIP) ROUND 5
FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
The City Council has a long history of regional leadership in advancing solutions to
address homelessness, demonstrated by its role in welcoming Orange County’s first three
Project Homekey developments, supporting and funding the Buena Park and Placentia
Navigation Centers as well as the OC HOPE Center, and actively participating in the
North Orange County Service Planning Area. Tonight, the Council will consider a new
opportunity to build on that legacy by supporting a first-of-its-kind model designed to help
individuals maintain their sobriety as they work toward housing stability and long-term
community connection. Action Alliance proposes to purchase and operate an apartment
building in Stanton, funded through CalOptima’s Housing and Homelessness Incentive
Program (HHIP) Round 5, to provide housing services that promote stability, recovery,
and successful long-term tenancy.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council find that this item is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(5) (Organizational or administrative activities
of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the
environment); and
2. Provide direction to staff. |

CONSIDERATION OF AN URGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 20.400.330
OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND FINDING THAT THE
ACTION IS STATUTORILY EXEMPT FROM CEQA UNDER PUBLIC RESOURCES
CODE §21080.17
The proposed urgency ordinance will amend Section 20.400.330 of the Stanton Municipal
Code to comply with recent changes to state law that impose new limits on local authority
to regulate Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units
(JADUs). Except as otherwise noted, these new laws take effect on January 1, 2026. The
Council previously held a public hearing for a similar ordinance that introduced the same
code amendments to comply with new ADU legislation, however, if adopted, the
Ordinance will not become effective until after January 1, 2026. If the City does not have
a compliant ordinance in place on January 1, 2026 then its regulations become entirely
null and void. The proposed urgency ordinance would become effective immediately after
approval so staff is requesting the proposed urgency ordinance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. City Council waive full reading and adopt by title only Urgency Ordinance No. 1168,
entitled:
“AN URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
STANTON AMENDING SECTION 20.400.330 OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL

STATE LAW, AND FINDING THE ACTION TO BE STATUTORILY EXEMPT
FROM CEQA UNDER PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE § 21080.17”; and
2. Find that the adoption of the proposed Urgency Ordinance No. 1168 is statutorily
exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
Public Resources Code § 21080.17. |
