I think Steatoda nobilis is more likely. They were introduced to California and have become common there. Thanks for jumping into the identification pool Dlee! The Steatoda spiders are some of my favorites. At least one Steatoda species, Steatoda grossa kills and eats Black Widows.
This could be a Steatoda borealis.

I have other views of this spider. I don’t know how to upload other views of it.
