What happened
The Whittier City Council adopted several urgency ordinances on October 27, 2026, establishing a 45-day temporary moratorium on specific businesses. These ordinances freeze the approval, permitting, or establishment of data centers, detention facilities, massage parlors, and car washes. Councilmember Cathy Warner was the only dissenting vote on the ordinance related to car washes.

Why it matters
The ordinances immediately go into effect for 45 days, and the council has the option to extend the moratorium until December 8, and potentially for another 10 months and 15 days. The measures were adopted following public hearings and came out of expressed community concerns regarding the impacts of these businesses.
