WATERING RESTRICTIONS FOR LAWNS
On June 6, 2022, the City Council adopted a new resolution that mandates a Citywide reduction in water usage by 20 percent. As part of this resolution, the City Council adopted new outdoor watering restrictions of lawns to just one day each week. Communications will be sent out to the community through social media and postcards on the requirements.
The City plans on phasing in the restriction by first reducing watering of lawns to two days each week, through October 15, 2022. All homes that end in an odd number, may water their lawns (10 minutes per station) on Monday and Thursday. All homes that end in an even number, may water their lawns on Tuesday and Friday. The restriction will go to one day each week starting October 16, 2022. The City wants to give the community time to adjust to the new requirement and encourage those with lawns to start looking at the rebate programs through the Metropolitan Water District on ways to replace turf and other water efficiency rebate programs. Please visit www.bewaterwise.com and www.socalwatersmart.org for more information on these programs. It should be noted that the restriction applies to the watering of lawns. Watering of plants, gardens, and trees can continue using hand-watering methods and drip irrigation systems.

DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN
On June 9, 2022, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified consultants to prepare the City’s Downtown Master Plan with a focus on completing a Downtown Vision, which is the first step towards development of a Downtown Master Plan. This visioning process gives residents, business owners, property owners, local organizations, and other stakeholders the opportunity to express ideas about the future of San Fernando Downtown, and help set goals and priorities for economic development. The visioning effort will focus on identifying the community’s desired level of Downtown economic vibrancy, what type and intensity of development is required to achieve that, and the related consequences/impacts. As part of the visioning effort, an economic and fiscal evaluation will be conducted to determine an Economic Vitality Strategy appropriate for Downtown San Fernando into the future.
Through a series of meetings, workshops, surveys, and growth-scenario comparisons facilitated by the City, participants (residents, business owners, property owners, and other stakeholders) will create a Downtown Vision that reflects the community’s goals and priorities and describes how the Downtown area should look and feel in years to come. The Downtown Vision will help shape and cultivate a sense of place, and buy-in for future land-use decisions and regulations. The Downtown Vision will outline the community’s vision, mission, and goals for San Fernando Downtown, and identify strategies and specific actions to achieve the goals.
If you’re interested in helping prepare the City’s Downtown Master Plan, please respond to the RFP by 5 pm on July 19, 2022. The RFP is available on the City’s website at: SFCITY.ORG/RFPs-RFQs-NIBs-NOIs.

SMOKE FREE MULTI-UNIT HOUSING ORDINANCE
On June 6, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1710, adding Chapter 24 to the San Fernando Municipal Code (SFMC) to prohibit smoking in multi-unit housing. This is a proactive step to prevent or eliminate secondhand smoke from infiltrating living spaces.

The smoking regulations apply to traditional tobacco smoke, electronic cigarettes/vaping devices, and marijuana smoke.
- Smoking is prohibited in new, renewed, or extended leases for all multi-unit housing and associated outdoor exclusive-use unenclosed areas such as private balcony, deck, porch, or patio.
- Smoking is permitted inside the enclosed area of a detached unit, but no smoking is allowed in any outdoor exclusive-use unenclosed areas such as balconies, decks or patios associated with a detached unit. Smoking inside detached unit is allowed until July 7, 2027.
- Smoking is prohibited anywhere on the premises of a Multi-Unit Housing as follows:
- In all units, together with any associated outdoor exclusive-use areas such as balconies, decks, or patios; and
- In all common areas and other outdoor areas except for a Designated Smoking Area established in compliance with the Ordinance.
