Code pertaining to monitoring ofthe mitigation measures included in the Final Environmental
.Impact Report for the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Update {dated November 2007).

i
ANNUAL MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM REPORT
FOR THE CITY OF VERNON GENERAL PLAN
Monitoring of the mitigation measures included in the General Plan Update Final Program EIR
was initiated by City Council Resolution No. 9483 (adopted December,3, 2007). This annual
report is the method through which the City of Vernon complies with the requirements of Section
21-081__6_of
the_California-P-ublic-Resources-Code pertaining-to-Geiser-al-Plan-mitigation
ronitoring. 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 annuaLreport. The overall responsibility formonitoring 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-P-lan
revisions-that-may-berequired-in-thefuture. T-he-City-ofVernon
General Plan was adopted on December 3,-2007 and further amended on February 23, 2009.
The report. is prepared in atabular-format to illustrate the relationship between the proposals and
programs contained in the General Plan and implementation actions.. The table 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 table 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 table.
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 1lousing.
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 irrcprove 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.
lieveloprnent of subsfiantai numbersor new housing units in Vernon is uniiKeiy based on the
City's unique character as an exclusively industrial City. Constraints to new housing
development in Vernon include the absence of available land and environmental conditions. The
City's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance prohibits new 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.
