Since its incorporation in 1960, the unprecedented growth of San Dimas has transformed the City from an essentially rural area to a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living. In addition to the 1,700 acre Frank G. Bonelli Recreational Area which lies within the City boundaries, there are many parks such as San Dimas Canyon Park, a city-owned golf course (San Dimas Canyon Golf Club), and over 27 miles of equestrian trails for riding. The city services include an extensive recreational program for youth and for senior citizens, and the City boasts a new modern City Hall, with excellent provisions made for County Sheriff and Fire Departments, along with a fine Los Angeles County Library and Engineering Regional Office.

Shopping Cart Ordinance

Overview

The City of San Dimas is considering the adoption of a Shopping Cart Ordinance to reduce unauthorized cart removal and improve containment on business properties. Shopping cart theft and abandonment contribute to blight and safety concerns in commercial areas and public spaces. While the City currently retrieves carts as part of nuisance abatement, the increasing demand highlights the need for proactive measures.

This proposed ordinance will:

✔ Allow the City to cite individuals found in unauthorized possession of a shopping cart.
✔ Establish a notification process for cart owners when carts are found off their premises.
✔ Serve as part of broader efforts to address blight and maintain the community’s image.

We value input from local businesses and community members. Please review the draft ordinance and share your feedback.
