Temple City City Council July 21, 2026
Published: Jul 21, 2026
Temple City Proactive on Housing Element Compliance Amidst State Scrutiny
The city council discussed the upcoming housing element cycle and potential state-level actions regarding zoning codes. The City Attorney provided an update, noting that Temple City has a good relationship with the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and is not facing issues like other cities that have been sued. However, the update serves as a reminder that the state is actively monitoring cities' compliance with housing element requirements. The city aims to be proactive in the next planning cycle, which begins in the next 12-18 months, to ensure timely reviews and avoid delays.
Temple City Adopts Stricter Ordinance for Potentially Dangerous and Vicious Dogs
The council unanimously approved amendments to the animal control ordinance concerning potentially dangerous and vicious dogs. This ordinance, adopted by reference from the LA County Code Title 10, establishes a clear process for handling such cases. It defines 'potentially dangerous' and 'vicious' dogs based on bite severity, unprovoked actions, and previous classifications. The process involves investigation by the Humane Society, followed by a hearing before a neutral third-party hearing officer, with the option to appeal to Superior Court. Conditions for keeping such animals, including fence modifications, warning signs, insurance, and muzzling, can be ordered. The measure passed with a unanimous vote.
City Manager Updates on Pickleball Noise, Burglaries, and Community Services
City Manager Brian Cook provided updates on several community matters. He confirmed that physical improvements are being considered for the pickleball courts to mitigate noise and that the park's operating hours are under review. Regarding the burglaries discussed earlier, he assured that more patrols are being conducted and investigations are active. He also noted that the spay and neuter clinic at Primrose Park will continue next month, highlighting its accessibility and affordability. He addressed concerns about Miss Yamaguchi's noise complaint, stating staff are looking into noise-dampening measures and potential adjustments to park opening hours.
Temple City Considers Adjustments to Pickleball Court Hours and Noise Mitigation
The city council addressed resident complaints about noise from pickleball courts, particularly early morning noise. A resident, Kazuko Yamaguchi, complained about noise starting at 6:30 am, waking her up and disturbing her quiet time. The city manager indicated that staff are exploring physical improvements around the courts, such as sound-attenuating mats, to help deaden the noise. They are also reviewing the park's operating hours, specifically the 'dawn to dusk' rule and the municipal code's exemption for noise from municipal facilities. Council members discussed potentially adjusting the opening time to 7:00 am to align with noise ordinances for other activities and invited further public input.
Temple City Council Addresses Resident Concerns Over Burglaries, Boosts Patrols
The city council discussed resident concerns regarding ongoing burglaries on O Lima Street and surrounding areas. Residents reported multiple burglaries, loss of heirlooms, and feelings of violated safety. Suggestions included increased visible and targeted police patrols during peak burglary hours (10 am-3 pm), continued partnerships between the city, sheriff's department, and residents for safety meetings and crime prevention education. The city manager confirmed that more patrols are being conducted in the area and that active investigations are ongoing. The public safety meeting scheduled for the last Wednesday of every month was highlighted as a forum for addressing these issues.
