Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-03 is a City-initiated update to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO). Based on the proposed updates to the IHO, updates are also required to the Inclusionary Housing Regulations and Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee schedule.
The proposed updates were informed by implementation of the IHO over the past five (5) years an d are intended to improve clarity as well as align with state housing law - specifically, State Density Bonus Law. The proposed amendments maintain the City’s 15% inclusionary unit requirement while revising affordability level requirements and simplifying c ompliance mechanisms. Updates to the Inclusionary Housing Regulations and Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee schedule will ensure consistency with the proposed IHO updates. Adoption of these proposed updates aligns with the goals, policies, and objectives set forth in the City’s 2021 -2029 Housing Element. Any fees collected under the proposed updated Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee Schedule shall be deposited into
4 4-13-26
the City’s Inclusionary Housing Trust Fund pursuant to the provisions of the proposed Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and proposed Inclusionary Housing Regulations.
The City reviewed the environmental impacts of this Ordinance 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”). This Ordinance is not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it 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 this Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, by itself, does not constitute a “project” as defined in section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.

The City’s 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element includes actions to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH). Specifically, as part of Housing Element Program 30 (Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing), under the fair housing issue of “disproportionate housing need”, the City committed to providing a report to City Council detailing alternatives for mitigating rent increases for lower income residents to reduce displacement risk. The City’s Housing Element Implementation consultant team, Environmental Science Associates (ESA) and Veronica Tam and Associates (VTA), have prepared a report in alignment with the actions identified in the City’s Housing Element. Strategies outlined in the report will assist the City
5 4-13-26
in considering, developing, and implementing rent increase an d displacement risk mitigation measures consistent with commitments in the Housing Element. The complete report is included in the April 13, 2026 staff report by the Director of Community Development. ESA and VTA’s report summarizes the various tenant protection strategies the City may consider, and identifies the three broad categories that each strategy falls within: (1) Controlling Rent Increases; (2) Protecting against eviction and displacement; and (3) Preserving and expanding supply of affordable hous ing. Ms. Veronica Ta m, Principal, Veronica Tam and Associates will present information regarding the Housing Element Implementation tenant protection strategies
Recommended Action: City Council receive and file this report, or direct staff as deemed appropriate.
5. REVIEW OF LOCAL TENANT RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS – F2M26-7
On February 23, 2026, the City Council directed staff to research and provide information regarding tenant relocation assistance programs. In 2019, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1482 (AB 1482), the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, which established statewide tenant protections including rent stabilization and just cause eviction requirements (i.e., default in payment of rent, breach of a material term of lease, maintaining a nuisance, engaging in criminal activity, tenant’s refusal to allow the owner to enter the residential property). Under AB 1482, landlords are required to provide relocation assistance for certain no -fault evictions, including owner mov e-in, substantial rehabilitation, demolition, or withdrawal of units from the rental market. The required relocation assistance is equal to one month of the tenant’s rent or a waiver of the final month’s rent. Payment must be provided within 15 calendar da ys of the notice of termination. AB 1482 establishes a minimum statewide standard; however, it does not preclude local jurisdictions from adopting more protective tenant regulations, including higher relocation assistance amounts or expanded tenant protect ions. Staff reviewed tenant relocation assistance programs across multiple jurisdictions and will present a review of those programs as well as policy options for consideration to the City Council.
Recommended Action: City Council receive and file this report or provide direction to staff as deemed appropriate.
6. MID-CYCLE REPORT AND PRESENTATION ON THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA 6 TH CYCLE (2021-2029) HOUSING ELEMENT – F2M20-37

This report describes the City’s approach and methodology to managing implementation of the City’s 6th Cycle HE and summarizes the status of all 40 programs as of April 2026. The City and Environmental Science Associates (ESA), the City’s selected consultant for the oversight and management of Implementation Programs contained in the 2021 -2029 6 th Cycle Housing Element, began working together on implementation of HE Programs in October 2024 and have continued to work collaboratively to meet the quantified objectives outlined in the City’s HE. The City and ESA team’s methodology and approach toward
