PRESENTATION S

1. CONSIDERATION OF DEADLINE FOR PLANNING COMMISSION TO REVIEW ZONING CODE AMENDMENTS – F2M20-37, M2M23-165
City Attorney MONTES delivered a staff report. At the last City Council meeting, the City Council requested that an agenda item be placed on the Council ’s agenda to consider setting a deadline for the Planning Commission to complete their review of the revisions to the housing element and the proposed zoning code amendments. Even though the Planning Commission 2 9- 25 -2 3
has completed its review of the Housing Element, without the completed zoning code updates, HCD will not certify the City ’s housing element. Government Code section 65853 provides that when a planning commission has not provided a recommendation on a zoning code amendment within a reasonable time, the City Council may require by written notice that the planning commission make its recommendation to the Council within 40 days. Failure to do so shall be deemed a recommendation for approval of the zoning amendment. Staff recommends that the Council discuss whether or not to set a deadline for the Planning Commission to make a recommendation to the City Council on the zoning code updates currently pending before the Planning Commission. If Council decides to set a deadline, staff should be directed to transmit that deadline to the Planning Commission in writing.

Public Comment:
1) Lewis McCammon , 105 N. Cordova St., discussed the timeline of the h ousing e lement and the z oning c ode update and suggested dealing with the h ousing e lement first if there is a tight deadline.

Public Comment via Zoom:
1) M elissa Michaelson, via Zoom, discussed the timeline of the housing element and expressed hope that the Council will insist on more thorough revisions of the Housing Element . 2) Ms. Judy , via Zoom, inquired about the timeline to adopt a revised housing element and zoning code.

Director of Community Development HO responded to questions.

PÉREZ: Vice Mayor PÉREZ entered the meeting at 6:38 p.m.

Councilmember MALONEY discussed the importance of finishing this process and stated there could be penalties from the State if the City does not adopt their housing element in time.

Vice Mayor PÉREZ discussed the current build er ’s remedy projects in the City, suggested pushing back non-essential items for the Planning Commission so that the housing element and zoning code updates can be finished, and noted that she ’s in favor of providing the community an opportunity for feedback but noted that there is a time crunch to get these updates finished.

Mayor MAZA expressed his appreciation to the Planning Commission for their work on the housing element and zoning code updates, discussed the City ’s exposure to builder ’s remedy and the need to get these updates finished.

The Council continued to discuss a timeline for the City ’s housing element and zoning code updates and a potential deadline for the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation.

2. CONSIDERATION OF AN URGENCY INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW FIREARM SALES BUSINESSES; FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING SAFE STORAGE OF FIREARMS; AND FIRST READING OF AN

ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE CARRYING OF FIREARMS ON PUBLICLY OWNED PROPERTY AND DETERMINE THAT THESE ACTIONS ARE EXEMPT FROM CEQA – F2M23-7, O2M23-4818, O2M23-4819, O2M23-4820
City Attorney MONTES delivered a staff report. At the September 11, 2023 City Council meeting, Vice Mayor Pérez requested that a suite of ordinances recently adopted by the City of Monterey Park be presented to the City Council for consideration. The Council concurred in agendizing those items for Council consideration. One of the ordinances, a buffer zone ordinance, would require a public hearing before the Planning Commission prior to consideration by the City Council. In light of the delay that presents for adoption, the Council requested an interim urgency ordinance be brought forward for Council ’s consideration to potentially go into effect pending the preparation of and hearings on a buffer zone ordinance.

Monterey Park adopted an ordinance that would prohibit the sales of firearms within certain areas of the city — those within 1000 feet of sensitive receptors (residences, schools, community resource centers). In those areas where firearm sales are allowed, a conditional use permit is required in order to ensure that the sale activity does not have negative impacts on surrounding uses. Staff intends to study a similar ordinance for Alhambra, which will ultimately require a public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council.

Government Code Section 65858 allows for the adoption as an urgency measure of interim zoning regulations that prohibit certain uses while those are being studied for additional regulation. A 4/5 vote of the Council is required to adopt this interim ordinance, which will last for a period of 45 days. In order to extend the moratorium, a public hearing must be held, at which time the Council can extend the term of the ordinance.

Additionally, staff has drafted a safe storage ordinance and an ordinance prohibiting firearms on City property for Council consideration. The safe storage ordinance would add a new section 9.92.050 to the Alhambra Municipal Code entitled “Safe Storage. ” The proposed ordinance requires any person in a residence within the City to store firearms in a locked container or disable them with an appropriate safety device in the home. Keeping a firearm locked when it is not being carried prevents unauthorized users, including children, from accessing and using firearms which can reduce unintentional discharges, firearm theft, and suicide. The proposed ordinance regarding prohibiting guns on City property would prohibit (with exceptions for law enforcement personnel) the possession of loaded firearms on any City-owned property. That would include, without limitation, persons carrying concealed weapons in accordance with valid permits.

Finally, the City reviewed the environmental impacts of these three Ordinances under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA ”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines ”). These Ordinances are not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) they will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there is no possibility that the Ordinances themselves may have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinances, by themselves, do not constitute a “project ” as defined in the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). The Ordinances are for general policies and procedure-making. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that these Ordinances may have a significant effect on the environment.

Public Comment:
4 9- 25 -2 3
1) Lewis McCammon , 105 N. Cordova St., expressed support for the item suggested putting additional clarification language on what City owned property is in the ordinance. 2) Katie Chan , Environmental & Sustainability Commissioner, expressed concern with the proposed language in the ordinance and stated she did not fell it did enough to prevent gun violence but support ed the overall ordinance.

Public Comment via Zoom:
1) Melissa Michelson , via Zoom, expressed support for the ordinance but stated it d id not go far enough to protect the community from gun violence and suggested banning all sales of firearms in the City.

Discussion: Vice Mayor PÉREZ inquired about the definition of public spaces in the proposed ordinance. City Attorney MONTES provided clarification.

Councilmember MALONEY expressed support for the urgency ordinance and noted it gives the City time to think about what a permanent ordinance would look like.

Councilmember LEE discussed the importance of educating gun owners of the new regulations once these ordinances are approved.

Mayor MAZA inquired if the City ’s ordinance can supersede State regulations regarding concealed weapons. City Attorney MONTES responded to questions.

Action Taken: City Council took the following actions :
