Staff said HDL will deliver a two‑phase project: an initial phase of data collection, market analysis and community engagement to formulate strategic recommendations, followed by a second‑phase implementation plan. The project is budgeted within the Economic Development Division; approximately half the contract is funded in the current fiscal year and the remainder is budgeted in the following fiscal year.

Acting Community Development Director Samantha Tewasark said the city issued a request for proposals in July and received six proposals; HDL was among the three firms interviewed and was selected based on relevant experience. HDL staff clarified the firm’s full name as Hinderliter de Lamas & Associates and noted the division providing services is sometimes referred to as HDL Econ Solutions.

Barry Foster, principal and managing director with HDL, told council the firm has completed more than 20 economic development action plans and has experience with Southern California cities and downtown revitalization efforts. “We don’t do cookie‑cutter plans,” Foster said, and described a stakeholder‑driven outreach approach tailored to San Gabriel’s characteristics.

Council members asked whether the study could assess the city’s development process and barriers affecting long‑standing projects; staff said the planned scope focuses on market analysis, community engagement and a strategic roadmap but staff will review status and obstacles for existing projects in parallel and may gather developer feedback as part of outreach. Council also discussed how the plan could help attract tenants and address vacancies in retail spaces.

There were no public comments on the item. A motion to authorize the city manager to execute the contract with Hinderliter de Lamas & Associates for $59,750 was approved on a roll‑call vote of 5-0 (Council Members Chan, Ding, Herrera Avila, Vice Mayor Menchaca and Mayor Wu voting yes).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Regular Meeting - February 18, 2025 - City of San Gabriel","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council authorized the city manager to execute a professional services agreement with Hinderliter de Lamas & Associates (HDL) for $59,750 to produce a two‑phase, three‑year economic development action plan; council approved the contract 5-0.","taxTitle","San Gabriel, Yuba County, California","taxId",79252,"location","California","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6687192,"San Gabriel council introduces sidewalk vending ordinance with new trash and noise rules",2299,1527000,3826000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2486031-b4cb1473148af275eaf92c2b225876af&start=1527&end=3826","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2486031-b4cb1473148af275eaf92c2b225876af/thumbnail_1527000.jpg","/articles/6687192/California/San-Gabriel-council-introduces-sidewalk-vending-ordinance-with-new-trash-and-noise-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6687192-b091704179de8aad4c4200635f90fb4d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157514&Signature=TFLXaoQIXHL2ufKsi0Sx3Yx9OD-1ZX5LbNqR7hS-BghmgPNUkEEs5yeybVRQexpxW9DXVNeJb38C3py~m4dShncPNe1oLTYuXHILK21ak3QHtGYWdLOZvtUOTcpcC5STmEWGoIqNgiJq6j~tXRXnYhS4qW2mCbPKobhseDB7LvyJ6McMA4Lr~Y3GcjfSwjdhhlOB5nbi7MhY7HG5N213gjnF7OC2YHdoApRgDAU1d5Vi0xzkXvJ-Hbu9ElRqPjWhzhOXQ7t1nG64a93u0vpzr3J0tgdxbmgFhYP9zOsxq2Km4j24sevtGb-UZwRmqJXhVBhBFnnORCaAvJlGojGeaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Gabriel City Council introduced Ordinance No. 718 on first reading Tuesday, adopting local regulations for sidewalk vendors in response to state law (Senate Bills 946 and 972) and approving council amendments to strengthen trash and noise controls. The motion to introduce and waive full reading passed 5-0.

Acting Community Development Director Samantha Tewasark explained the ordinance implements state rules while preserving allowable time, place and manner regulation. The proposal, she said, incorporates definitions and requirements drawn from the state bills, distinguishes between “roaming” vendors (who complete transactions while moving) and “stationary” vendors (fixed-location transactions), and ties vending permits to compliance with the California Retail Food Code.

Key requirements in the ordinance as introduced include: a seller’s permit filed with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, a Los Angeles County Public Health permit where required, and a city business license; issuance of a one‑year vending certificate (with or without conditions) after documentation is submitted; an initial education period during implementation, followed by warnings and escalating penalties for violations; minimum sidewalk width (9 feet) and a 4‑foot clear path; and distance/place restrictions including prohibition within 500 feet of farmers markets and specified buffers from hydrants, driveways, building entrances and intersections. The ordinance also prohibits stationary vendors in residential areas and limits roaming vendors in residential areas to nominal daytime hours (the draft references 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.).

Council debate focused on enforcement, sanitation and public‑safety safeguards. The ordinance as amended requires vendors to carry a waste disposal bag or container for trash and expressly prohibits disposal of vendor trash in public or private trash cans (council amendment to subsection H). The council also added a new subsection (K) restricting amplified sound, flashing lights, digital signage or other visual media unless expressly approved in a vending permit; the council discussed making no amplified sound allowed as a practical standard. City staff clarified fines for unpermitted vendors escalate from $250 to $1,000, and the city can pursue civil injunctions in court if fines are ignored. The city attorney said the city can tow or remove vehicles in instances that create an imminent public health or safety hazard.

Council members discussed enforcement roles: the city’s code enforcement, police department and county public health will participate; staff said enforcement will be initially collaborative with the health department and police, then predominantly a code enforcement responsibility after community outreach. The ordinance directs staff to add fee amounts to the city fee schedule at a later date. There were no public comments at the hearing.

The motion to introduce Ordinance No. 718 as amended (adding the trash prohibition language and the noise/lighting/signage subsection) was made by Council Member Herrera Avila, seconded by Council Member Ding, and passed on a roll‑call vote of 5-0 (Council Members Chan, Ding, Herrera Avila, Vice Mayor Menchaca and Mayor Wu voting yes). The ordinance is scheduled for second reading and possible adoption at the next regular council meeting; if adopted it would become effective 30 days later.","The City Council introduced Ordinance No. 718 to regulate sidewalk vending under state law (SB 946/972), adding council amendments that prohibit vendors from disposing trash in public or private cans and restrict amplified sound, lighting and signage unless approved as part of a permit; council voted 5-0 to introduce the ordinance.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6687197,"San Gabriel council adopts PLHA Year 5 allocation, authorizes contract with LACDA",564,956000,1520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2486031-b4cb1473148af275eaf92c2b225876af&start=956&end=1520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2486031-b4cb1473148af275eaf92c2b225876af/thumbnail_956000.jpg","/articles/6687197/California/San-Gabriel-council-adopts-PLHA-Year-5-allocation-authorizes-contract-with-LACDA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6687197-3079cecd719b2144d24eb25a520862ac/orig.mp4?Expires=1771157514&Signature=FQUwqh4y1DkDp4yqFPIZbewgEkowm84dmKvwPAxmGYuKCNEOTuERCf8LNPWJxN7-TIJccbcWMZzQOvYxv6UjIystBS6IAkeuiQghNTxD0c6Ee~9CBzLa0if0ooI7hwY7E7in8Sajmsq5F1Yh~uYfCd3ukpUT1XdbP4S7cs8i2nAOKWRHAEwj0llwMdIVX14LhJavJQSOEhy8vPxmGocR3kauOrpE9g9tRJcEyE~MF2Eehd457SVw9SFMTFaXAPGLFGKMRtr0~bohd3ixDxNxvC2E6o4sLLrk23LyPiGPOGcvwmBZb5cRUQ1EfnLA-NNKbqBtOnLdZmoQk7EFgNexxQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The San Gabriel City Council on Tuesday adopted Resolution No. 25-03 to accept the city’s Year 5 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) award and to allocate $135,222 toward predevelopment activities for a low‑income housing project, voting 5-0.

The resolution directs the city to accept the PLHA Year 5award from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), authorizes the city manager to execute a new contract with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) and any other required documents, and permits adjustments to reflect the actual allocation to San Gabriel once finalized by the state.

Samantha Tewasark, Acting Community Development Director, told the council the PLHA program stems from the Building Homes and Jobs Act (Senate Bill 2) and is funded by a $75 recording fee on certain real estate documents; HCD distributes funds through an allocation formula administered in Los Angeles County by LACDA. “The item before you this evening is the permanent local housing allocation, year 5 funding,” Tewasark said during her presentation.

Staff said San Gabriel’s estimated Year 5 allocation is “a little bit over $135,000.” Council heard that to date roughly $94,500 in PLHA reimbursements have been set aside for the 405 South Del Mar 100% affordable senior housing project and that LACDA recently made an additional $384,000 available for reimbursement to the city. HCD released the Year 5 notice of funding availability (NOFA) on Dec. 5; a deadline noted in the report is Feb. 14, 2025.

The staff recommendation presented to council included (1) electing the eligible activity for Year 5 (predevelopment/development for a low‑income project) subject to state approval, (2) allocating $135,222 for that activity upon state approval, and (3) authorizing the city manager to execute a new contract with LACDA and any other required documents and to make necessary adjustments to reflect the final allocation amount. The city attorney clarified the recommendation language to allow the city manager to execute “any other required documents” so the city would not have to return to council for routine paperwork.

There were no public comments on the item. With no substantive edits requested by council, a motion to approve the staff recommendation as amended by the city attorney was seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote of 5-0 (Council members Chan, Ding, Herrera Avila, Vice Mayor Menchaca and Mayor Wu voting yes).

Next steps identified by staff: the allocation is subject to state approval and the city manager may finalize contracts and technical adjustments after the state confirms the final amount. The PLHA funds are intended for activities such as predevelopment, site acquisition, construction financing for affordable multifamily housing, accessibility modifications, down payment assistance and homeless services as defined by HCD.","The San Gabriel City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-03 to accept a Year 5 Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) award of approximately $135,222 for predevelopment activities, and authorized the city manager to execute agreements with the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) and other required documents; the motion passed 5-0.","actionData","errors"]
