2004 ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES & WATER
TO THE CITY COUNCIL
ON THE STATUS OF
THE CITY OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003-2004
June 2004
Prepared by City of Vernon
Department of Community Services & Water
INTRODUCTION
This annual report serves two purposes. First, the report is the method through which the City of
Vernon complies with the requirements of Section 21081.6 of the California Public Resources
Code pertaining to monitoring of the mitigation measures included in the Final Environmental
Impact Report for the General Plan Update and Zoning Ordinance Revision (dated April 18,
1989) and the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan Revisions
(dated June, 1992). Second, the document is the Annual Report of the Director of Community
Services & Water to the City Council on the status of the General Plan and the progress of its
implementation, in accordance with Government Code Section 65400(b).
ANNUAL MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM REPORT
FOR THE CITY OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN
Monitoring of the mitigation measures included in the General Plan Update Final EIR was
initiated by City Council Resolution No. 5612 (adopted May 2, 1989). This annual report is the
method through which the City of Vernon complies with the requirements of Section 21081.6 of
the California Public Resources Code pertaining to General Plan mitigation monitoring. Section
21081.6 requires a lead agency to adopt a mitigation monitoring program in order to mitigate or
avoid significant effects on the environment. The monitoring program for implementation of the
General Plan mitigation measures consists of the annual review process undertaken for the
annual report. The overall responsibility for monitoring adherence to General Plan policies
belongs to the City of Vernon Department of Community Services & Water.
ANNUAL REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE
CITY OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN
Government Code Section 65400(b) requires in part that each city "Provide an annual report to
the legislative body on the status of the plan and progress of its implementation...." This annual
report is a working document that provides specific direction for the City of Vernon and alerts
the City to General Plan revisions that may be required in the future. The City of Vernon
General Plan was originally adopted on April 18, 1989, and amended on June 16, 1992 and
February 21, 2001.
The report is prepared in a tabular format to illustrate the relationship between the proposals and
programs contained in the General Plan and implementation actions. The matrix identifies each
General Plan policy whose implementation requires a specific monitoring process, then describes
how each policy is being implemented, the current status of each implementation program, and
the future action required in order to complete each program.
The matrix does not include every policy listed in the General Plan. Some policies are
statements of basic City outlook toward an issue and could be associated with a wide variety of
actions. More specific related policies, however, contain specific direction. These specific
policies, generally linked with land development and program actions, are found in the matrix.
Government Code Section 65400(b), as amended in 1990, requires that the annual report include
"the progress in meeting [the City's] share of regional housing needs determined pursuant to
Section 65584." The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) identified a future housing need of zero for the City based
largely on environmental constraints and the loss of jobs which would result if industrial
employment were displaced by housing.
Government Code Section 65400(b), as amended in 1992, requires that the annual report provide
the status of "local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement,
and development of housing pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65583."
Section 65583(c)(3) states, "Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove
governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing." The
City of Vernon Housing Element discusses actions to maintain and improve housing in the City.
Since the City owns the majority of the housing stock, direct maintenance and improvement is
possible. In the past year the City has continued its program of maintenance and repair.
Development of substantial numbers of new housing units in Vernon is unlikely based on the
City's unique character as an exclusively industrial City. Constraints to new housing
development in Vernon are generally not governmental, but due to the absence of available land
and environmental conditions. The City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance permits residences
in any zone. The industrial nature of Vernon results in noise, dust, vibration, odors, and toxic or
chemical storage and wastes from local industries, many of which operate around the clock.
These environmental conditions restrict the availability of appropriate locations for new housing
development in Vernon. The City requires conditional use permits in the Heavy Industry (M-2)
Zone to ensure that any potential new housing is not adversely affected by ongoing industry.
