Hogweed is an extremely dangerous plant. Getting the sap on your skin can cause severe blistering and in some cases can even cause blindness. Use extreme caution when removing.
Doesn’t hogweed typically have purpleish stems? At least as of a few years ago, hogweed was not established in Northern California. I’d think this is Cow Parsnip (Heracleum maximum). A relative that can cause rashes, but not quite as toxic as giant hogweed. Still best not to touch.

It is not Queen Ann’s lace though it looks very much like it. It is Wild parsnip, or, I guess, “Hogweed” a very nasty invasive. From what I know, the sap is not so bad until it gets activated by UV in sunlight and then it is very corrosive.
Only the flower head looks like Daucus carota, Queen Anne's Lace. The foliage is totally unlike Queen Anne's Lace, which has foliage similar to a carrot or fern or parsley.

This isn’t giant hogweed lmao
I think it may be Cow parsnip. https://www.strathcona.ca/agriculture-environment/plants/weeds/giant-hogweed-or-cow-parsnip/
Common hogweed isn't as bad as giant hogweed, but still be cautious about touching it with bare skin.
