City of Aliso Viejo AGENDA ITEM DATE: August 21, 2024 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mitzi Ortiz, Acting City Manager SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 8.22 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY Recommended Action: Conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTER 8.22 OF THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND IS EXEMPT UNDER STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3). Discussion: On August 7, 2024, the City Council approved the introduction and first reading of the subject Ordinance by a 5-0 vote. If adopted, the Ordinance will take effect 30 days after adoption. Attachment: 1. Ordinance 12

Page 1 of 4 ORDINANCE NO. 2024-___ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA AMENDING CHAPTER 8.22 OF THE ALISO VIEJO MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AND FINDING THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT QUALIFY AS A PROJECT SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND IS EXEMPT UNDER STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061(B)(3) WHEREAS, Chapter 8.22 of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code (“AVMC”) prohibits camping on public property; and WHEREAS, AVMC section 8.22.040 bars enforcement of Chapter 8.22’s prohibition on public camping if the potential arrestee had no alternative shelter, as required under Martin v. City of Boise (920 F.3d 584, 616), a recently-reversed 2019 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that required that limitation on enforcement; and WHEREAS, on June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in Johnson v. City of Grants Pass, Oregon. Among other things, the Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment does not prohibit cities from enforcing laws regulating camping on public property (144 S.Ct. 2202); and WHEREAS, the Supreme Court’s Johnson decision abrogates (i.e., overrules) the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Martin. Consequently, Martin is no longer good law or binding on cities; and WHEREAS, given the foregoing, this ordinance (“Ordinance”) amends AVMC section 8.22.040 to remove the outdated Martin limitation on enforcement; and WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALISO VIEJO AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the recitals above are true and correct and are incorporated herein. SECTION 2. CEQA. The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The Ordinance does not qualify as a project because it has no potential to result in either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15378, subd. (a).) It simply strikes a reference to a Ninth Circuit decision that was overruled. In the alternative, the City Council finds that the Ordinance falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3), which exempts activity from CEQA where “it can be seen with certainty 13

Page 2 of 4 that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Here, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because the Ordinance simply strikes an outdated reference to an overruled Ninth Circuit decision; it will not result in any development or in any new activity with the potential to impact the environment. SECTION 3. Code Amendment. Section 8.22.040 of the Aliso Viejo Municipal Code is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows (additions shown in underline and deletions shown in strikethrough): “8.22.040 Exceptions. This chapter shall not apply to the following: A. Anyone sleeping or camping in a specified camping area designated by the city. The city council may, by resolution, establish one or more specified camping areas. Such camping areas, if any, may be located on public property. B. Any event involving camping that is approved or sponsored by the city. C. Absent exigent circumstances relating to immediate threats to the public health, safety, or welfare, the provisions of this chapter will not be enforced against indigent homeless persons sitting, lying, or sleeping on public property when no alternative shelter is available in accordance with the holding in Martin v. City of Boise (9th Cir. 2018) 902 F.3d 1031. CD. The Aliso Viejo Ranch, which is subject to the regulations set forth in Chapter 11.12 AVMC.” SECTION 4. Severability. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof. SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance takes effect 30 days after its adoption. SECTION 6. Publication. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause a summary thereof to be published within 15 days of the adoption and shall post a certified copy of this Ordinance, including the vote for and against the same, in the Office of the City Clerk, in accordance with Government Code Section 36933. 14
