Pico Rivera council adopts zoning changes for second‑hand dealers, health-and-safety ordinance and remote-participation policies

The Pico Rivera City Council voted unanimously during its meeting to adopt a zoning code amendment affecting second‑hand dealers, an ordinance updating Title 8 (health and safety) of the municipal code, and new policies to comply with Senate Bill 707 on remote participation and agenda posting.

The council opened and closed a public hearing on Zone Code Amendment No. 200, which amends Title 18 of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code to adopt provisions consistent with California Assembly Bill 2632 for second‑hand dealers. Councilmembers moved, seconded and approved the amendment in a recorded 5–0 roll-call vote; Councilmembers Garcia, Lara, Letts, Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Sanchez and Mayor Camacho voted yes.

The zoning vote was followed by a set of regular-agenda approvals. With no presentation requested, the council approved an ordinance amending Title 8 (health and safety) of the municipal code by a 5–0 vote. The council also adopted policies related to Senate Bill 707 — covering remote participation and public‑agenda posting — in a unanimous vote after staff indicated a presentation was not required.

Several consent items (items 2–14 on the agenda) were approved together after the mayor called for a motion; item 10 was briefly pulled for questions and then approved without opposition. The council earlier acknowledged adoption of the city’s 2026–2027 operating budget and year two of its five‑year capital improvement program.

The meeting record shows formal motions and roll-call tallies for each adopted measure. No substantive public testimony opposed the measures during the hearings and votes recorded on the agenda.

What happens next: the zoning amendment and ordinance will be implemented according to the municipal-code provisions; staff indicated routine follow‑up for posting and outreach related to the SB 707 policy changes.
