facilities district within the territorial limits of the
City of Inglewood and the School District, to be
known as “California Statewide Communities
Development Authority Community Facilities
District No. 2019-01 (333 North Prairie), City
of Inglewood, County of Los Angeles, State of
California” (the “Community Facilities District”), to
levy a special tax within the Community Facilities
District, and to finance construction of certain
public capital facilities eligible for payment from
certain development impact fees (collectively,
the “Improvements”). On January 24, 2019,
the Commission also adopted its Resolution
No. 19SCIP-2 (the “Resolution to Incur Bonded
Indebtedness”) wherein it declared its intention
to incur bonded indebtedness in a principal
amount not to exceed seven million dollars
($7,000,000) to finance the Improvements, all
under and pursuant to the terms and provisions
of the “Mello Roos Community Facilities Act
of 1982,” being Chapter 2.5, Part 1, Division
2, Title 5 of the Government Code of the
State of California, commencing with Section
53311 (the “Act”).
This Notice contains a brief summary of
the proposal embodied in the Resolution of
Intention and the Resolution to Incur Bonded
Indebtedness (collectively, the “Proposal”), but
you are referred to the Authority’s Resolution

Indebtedness on file with the Authority for the
definitive description of the Proposal, including
a description of the Improvements, a list of
incidental expenses and bond issuance costs
and the rate and method of apportionment of
the proposed special tax for the Community
Facilities District.
The Proposal consists of the authorization of (1)
the special tax within the Community Facilities

issuance of bonds to finance the Improvements,
and (3) the establishment of the initial
annual appropriations limit for the Community
Facilities District in the amount of $700,000 for
the 2019-2020 Fiscal Year.
In order to confer the authority upon the
Authority to levy the special tax and to issue
the bonds, a public hearing must be held on
the Proposal, the Authority must determine to
form the Community Facilities District, and the
qualified electors within the Community Facilities
District must approve the Proposal by a
two-thirds vote. As the Community Facilities
District is uninhabited, or inhabited by fewer
than 12 registered voters, the qualified electors
are, pursuant to the Act, the owners of property
within the Community Facilities District.
THIS IS THE NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC
HEARING.
The public hearing will be held Thursday, the

Summary of Proposed Ordinance 2171
& Urgency Ordinance 2174
On February 12, 2019 at 6:00 p.m., the City
Council of the City of Hawthorne is considering
the adoption of Ordinance No. 2174 and
on February 26, 2019 will consider adoption
of Ordinance No. 2171. Both ordinances
concern the authority of cities to regulate
sidewalk vendors.
Pursuant to California Government Code section
36933(c)(1), the City Council has directed the
preparation and publication of a summary of
Ordinance Nos. 2171 and 2174 as follows:
Senate Bill (“SB”) 946 was signed into law on
September 17, 2018, and became effective
January 1, 2019. SB 946 limits the authority
of cities and counties to regulate sidewalk
vendors, except in accordance with California
Government Code Section 51038 and 51039.
Presently, the City of Hawthorne Municipal
Code prohibits sidewalk vending, which now
conflicts with SB 946. Ordinance No. 2171
will amend Chapter 5.57 of the HMC so that
it will be consistent with SB 946. The new
law defines “sidewalk vendors” to include any
person who sells food or merchandise from
a pushcart, wagon, or other non-motorized
conveyance, or from his or her person, while
on a public sidewalk or other pedestrian
path. A sidewalk vendor may be “stationary”
or “roaming.” Stationary sidewalk vendors
are those who operate from a fixed location,
while roaming sidewalk vendors move from
place to place and stop only to complete a
transaction. The statutory requirements apply to
both stationary and roaming sidewalk vendors
unless otherwise indicated. Ordinance Nos.
2171 and 2174 will accomplish the following:
SB 946 prohibits cities from adopting regulations
that do any of the following:
Restrict the overall number of sidewalk vendors
allowed to operate within the jurisdiction, except
if directly related to objective health, safety, or
welfare concerns.
Require sidewalk vendors to obtain the consent
or approval of any nongovernmental entity or
individual before selling goods or merchandise.
Require sidewalk vendors to operate within
specific parts of the public right-of-way, except
if directly related to objective health, safety, or
welfare concerns.
Require sidewalk vendors to operate only in
designated neighborhoods or areas, except if
directly related to objective health, safety, or
welfare concerns.
The City of Hawthorne may, however, regulate
the time, place, and manner in which sidewalk
vending is conducted, provided that such
regulations are directly related to objective
health, safety, or welfare concerns. Permissible
regulations include, but are not limited
to, the following:
Limits on hours of operation, provided they
are not unduly restrictive. In nonresidential
areas, limitations cannot be more restrictive
than the hours of operation imposed on other
businesses on the same street.
Requirements to maintain sanitary conditions.
Requirements to ensure compliance with the
Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability
access standards.
Requiring a sidewalk vending permit, business
license, California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration seller’s permit, and/other licenses
from other state or local agencies.
Requiring that a food vendor provide proof of
completion of a food handler course and other
required approvals by the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health.
Requiring a sidewalk vendor to submit certain
information on his or her operations.
Requiring compliance with other generally
applicable laws.
SB 946 declares that perceived community
animus or economic competition are not valid
“objective health, safety, or welfare concerns” to
justify the imposition of time, place, or manner
restrictions. In addition, SB 946 precludes local
authorities from prohibiting sidewalk vendors in
public parks. A limited exception is allowed
where a concessionaire has been granted
an exclusive concession for the sale of food
or merchandise. In such case, the city can
prohibit stationary sidewalk vendors but must
still allow roaming sidewalk vendors. The city
may impose additional time, place, and manner
restrictions to sidewalk vending in public parks,
so long as the restrictions meet at least one
of the following criteria:
They are directly related to health, safety or
welfare concerns.
They are necessary to ensure the public’s use
and enjoyment of the park’s natural resources
and recreational opportunities.
They are necessary to prevent an undue
concentration of commercial activity that would
unreasonably interfere with the park’s scenic
and natural character.
Cities may prohibit sidewalk vendors within the
immediate vicinity of permitted certified farmers’
markets, filming permit, a parade, or an outdoor
concert, during those events’ operating hours.
Sidewalk vendors cannot be cited, fined, or
prosecuted for a violation of any rule or regulation
that is inconsistent with SB 946. Even
where a compliant sidewalk vending program
is in place, SB 946 precludes the imposition
of criminal penalties. Instead, violations may
be punished with administrative citations in the
amounts set forth in the new Government Code
Summary of Proposed Ordinance 2169
On February 26, 2019 at 6:00 p.m., the City
Council of the City of Hawthorne is considering
the adoption of Ordinance No. 2169 relating
to the comprehensive updating of the City’s
Noise Ordinance.
Pursuant to California Government Code section
36933(c)(1), the City Council has directed the
preparation and publication of a summary of
Ordinance Nos. 2169:
The City of Hawthorne municipal code noise
regulations have not been updated for nearly
thirty (30) years. This comprehensive revision of
the noise ordinance is divided into a subjective
portion (Chapter 9.33 herein) and an objective
portion (Chapter 9.34 following). For this
subjective portion, the City’s noise standards
consider the sound level of the noise, ambient
noise level, whether or not the nature of the
noise is unusual, proximity to residential sleeping
areas, time of day (e.g., daytime or nighttime),
as well as other considerations cited in Section
9.33.020. In general, this type of regulation is
aimed at controlling occasional and infrequent
events such as unruly parties, domestic
disturbances, and one-time incidents, while
giving the City’s enforcement officers flexibility
in implementing ad hoc quieting measures.
The objective portion of the City’s noise standard
(Chapter 9.34) restricts noise from machines,
animals, or devices (or any combination thereof)
from producing noise that exceeds the specified,
measurable noise limits (as summarized
in Tables N-1 and N-2 below). In general,
this type of regulation is aimed at controlling
stationary or on-going noise sources that are
more established (in both location and periodicity)
than the subjective-related occurrences (of
Chapter 9.33). Such sources might include,
for example, noisy HVAC or pool equipment,
on-going loud music (over repeated instances),
excessively and frequently barking dogs, or
home/landscaping activities that are too early or
too late in the day (see also Section 9.34.060).
Such objective criteria give the City’s enforcement
officers the capability of demonstrating a
measurable violation while using the defined
enforcement procedures to document potential
violations and to implement penalties (see also
Sections 9.34.050 and 9.34.100).
The noise standard presented in Chapter 9.35
(Architectural Acoustics) are aimed at controlling
the intrusion of excessive noise within interior
living spaces, from either exterior-to-interior or
unit-to-unit pathways (in the case of multi-family
dwellings). Such sound insulation features are
to be designed by architects and engineers for
each applicable interior space, and included
in plans submitted to the City of Hawthorne
Building and Safety Department as part of its
review and approval processes.
The noise standard presented in Chapter
9.36 (Vibration Ordinance) restricts vibration
from machines, animals, or devices (or any
combination thereof) from producing vibration
that exceeds the specified, measurable noise
limits (as summarized in Tables N-4 and N-5,
below). In general, this type of regulation is
aimed at controlling stationary or on-going
vibration sources that are established (in both
location and periodicity). Such sources might
include, for example, out-of-balance, mounted
machinery, impact-intensive manufacturing
equipment, or heavy construction processes.
Such objective criteria give the City’s enforcement
officers the capability of demonstrating a
measurable violation while using the defined
enforcement procedures to document potential
violations and to implement penalties (see also
Section 9.36.050).
In addition, this Ordinances adopt certain fees
for permits and administrative citations.
A certified copy of the entirety of the text of
Ordinance No. 2169 is available both on the
City’s website and also in the office of the City
Clerk, 4455 West 126th Street, Hawthorne,
California, and is open for public inspection.

Any protests to the Proposal may be made
orally or in writing by any interested persons or
taxpayers, except that any protests pertaining
to the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings
shall be in writing and shall clearly set
forth the irregularities and defects to which
objection is made. The Commission may

Written protests by a majority of the registered
voters residing and registered within the Community
Facilities District (if at least six such voters
protest), or by the owners of a majority of the
land area within the Community Facilities District
not exempt from the proposed special tax, will
require suspension of these proceedings for at
least one year. If such protests are directed
only against certain elements of the proposed
Improvements or special tax of the Community
Facilities District, only those elements need be
excluded from the proceedings.
The Authority’s special tax consultant, in
consultation with and on behalf of the Local
Agencies, has studied the Community Facilities
District and will provide, at or before the
time of the public hearing, a report which will
contain a brief description of the Improvements
by type which in their opinion will be required
to adequately meet the needs of the new
development expected to occur within the
Community Facilities District, together with
estimates of the cost of financing the construction
of the Improvements, and an estimate of the
incidental expenses related thereto. The report
will be available for inspection by the public,
and will become a part of the record of the
public hearing. Questions should be directed
to David Taussig, Special Tax Consultant, at
