Omnibus Ordinance Amendment

The City of Signal Hill is undertaking a comprehensive update to its Municipal Code through an omnibus ordinance amendment aimed at aligning local regulations with current State law, eliminating outdated or redundant provisions, and adopting best practices in municipal governance. The proposed changes span multiple titles of the code, including General Provisions, Administration and Personnel, Health and Safety, Public Peace, Vehicles and Traffic, Zoning Code, and Public Dedication Requirements. Key revisions include prohibiting smoking in all public parks and enclosures, restricting organized sports activities on public property, updating rules for adult businesses, adjusting off-street parking standards, refining property development and landscape requirements, and revising procedures for commission hearings and site plan submissions. Amendments to Chapter 21.28 address impact fees for development projects, while updates to zoning definitions and fence regulations reflect modern land use planning principles. The ordinance also revises public notice and filing fee structures to improve transparency and administrative efficiency. The action is categorized as a forecast with no formal solicitation number or contract value, indicating it is a regulatory rather than a procurement initiative. The posting date is January 15, 2026, with a CEQA signature date of January 14, 2026, confirming compliance with environmental review exemptions under California law for editorial and non-substantive revisions. The project is being managed by the City’s Community Development Department, with Carlos Luis, Acting Community Development Director, serving as the primary point of contact. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, contractor representations, evaluation factors, or procurement terms apply, as this is a legislative update carried out internally by the City. The place of performance is citywide within Signal Hill, California, and all changes are intended to modernize governance and enhance consistency with state mandates without requiring external contracts, deliveries, or financial transactions.
