Gardena Ordinances
Just as each state has its own laws, cities have the authority to create their own laws in the form of "ordinances." Gardena's ordinances are assembled into a book known as the Gardena Municipal Code. This information is available to you on-line, including search capabilities to help you find the information you seek.
Ordinances are usually considered by the City Council in two consecutive meetings, first for introduction and then for final adoption. The exception are those noted as "urgency ordinances" which are presented to the City Council for immediate adoption, at a single Council meeting. Consideration of most ordinances requires a noticed public hearing and a 30-day post-adoption period before taking effect. All ordinances, except those for specific land-uses or interim application, are published in the City's Municipal Code.
