ORDINANCE NO. 16-1369
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
PROHIBITING SCAVENGING FROM SOLID WASTE CONTAINERS
AND AMENDING THE HERMOSA BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH, CALIFORNIA,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Subsection 8.12.320.G of Section 8.12.320 of Chapter 8.12 of Title
8 of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) is amended to read as follows:
G. It is unlawful for any person to scavenge materials from any solid waste
container.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance is effective thirty days following adoption.
SECTION 3. This Ordinance is categorically exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act pursuant to California Code of Regulations sections 15308 describing
projects that protect the environment and 15061(b)(3), the common sense exemption. Scavenging
disrupts the City's solid waste disposal system, which is designed to protect the public health and
safety. The HBMC already prohibits scavenging on residential, commercial and industrial
premises, but does not expressly regulate scavenging from public cans on City property. This
Ordinance clarifies that scavenging is prohibited throughout the City. This ordinance will not
result in any physical changes to the environment, and may reduce the amount of unhealthy solid
waste removed from solid waste containers.
SECTION 4. Prior to the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date of its adoption, the
City Clerk shall cause this ordinance to be published in the "Easy Reader," a weekly newspaper of
general circulation published and circulated in the City of Hermosa Beach, in the manner provided
by law.
