Hawthorne Council approves consent calendars and adopts zoning/parking ordinance 2260
Summary
Council approved City Clerk and City Manager consent calendars (items 1–6 and 9–12), including a $222,614.92 progress payment for a police department roof, and adopted Ordinance 2260 amending multiple Title 17 zoning sections related to off‑street parking and driveway standards.
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Hawthorne City Council approved multiple consent‑calendar items and adopted Ordinance 2260, a second‑reading zoning amendment related to off‑street vehicular parking and driveway standards.
The City Clerk presented Consent Calendar items 1–6, including approval of warrants, waiver of full readings, minutes approval for Dec. 9, 2025 (item 3) and three resolutions authorizing designated officers to order deposits or withdrawals from specified investment accounts (identified as Resolutions 8574, 8575 and 8576). Council approved the consent calendar with the mayor and council voting yes; Councilmember Andrea Singlish abstained on item 3, citing absence from the Dec. 9 meeting and the City Attorney confirmed that video review permitted participation on action items in some circumstances.
On the ordinance, staff recommended adoption of Ordinance No. 2260 (second reading), which amends multiple sections of Chapter 17 of the Hawthorne Municipal Code governing definitions, nonconforming uses, conditional use variances, loading, off‑street parking and minimum driveway widths/turning radius, and makes a CEQA finding as required. The council moved, seconded and adopted Ordinance 2260 by recorded vote (mayor and council voting yes).
The City Manager's consent calendar (items 9–12) was then presented and approved. Those items included progress payment No. 3 in the amount of $222,614.92 to Chapman Coast Roof Company for the Hawthorne Police Department roof replacement, an award of contract for alley improvement project No. 25‑08, approval of a parcel map for recording with the Los Angeles County Recorder, and authorization for the City Manager (or designee) to execute a master equity lease agreement between the Hawthorne Police Department and Enterprise Holdings. Council voted to approve items 9–12.
No additional information on contract terms, vendor selection criteria or capital‑project budgets was provided during the meeting; staff indicated those procurement and budget details are part of the administrative record.
