CITY OF ALHAMBRA

AGENDA REPORT
Item No.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Paddy Taber, Grants Specialist
Katie Martel, Sustainability Management Analyst
Lucy Garcia, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF GRANT FUNDS UNDER THE

INTEGRATED CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY PROGRAM
(ICARP) FOR THE CREATION OF AN URBAN FORESTRY

MANAGEMENT PLAN AND THE PLANTING OF TREES CITYWIDE
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council approve the City’sapplication titled, “Let’sGrow Alhambra, A Tree Forward Approach to Combating Extreme Heat” to the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) to fund the City’sfirst Urban Forestry Management Plan and the planting of trees; authorize the designation of TreePeople and Active San Gabriel Valley (ActiveSGV) as grant co-applicants; authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all grant documents; and direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’saction.

BACKGROUND:

A total of $27.5 million is available for funding heat related projects from the California Climate Bond (Proposition 4) and State’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. The proposed grant application is in direct alignment with the City’s Sustainability Plan’s Green Space Goal of increasing the City’stree canopy.

Staff is in the process of preparing an ICARP grant application to fund the development of the City’sfirst Urban Forestry Management Plan (UFMP). A UFMP will be beneficial to the City by recommending types of species to plant and identifying where the need to increase the canopy is the greatest. The focus of the selection of trees will be native drought-tolerant species. Ongoing, the document will serve to advise City staff on how to maintain a healthy urban forest. In addition, grant funds will be used for planting trees and providing public outreach on the benefits trees have on society. The funding request of $750,000 is based on estimates to produce the UFMP and the planting of trees along with maintenance to continue through the establishment period. A requirement of the grant application is to identify at least one Co-Applicant that will serve as a partner throughout the project from application through completion. The partnership is meant to strengthen the project by pairing municipal agencies with community-based organizations with subject matter expertise. Staff identified TreePeople and Active San Gabriel Valley (ActiveSGV) as Co-Applicant partners on this project application. TreePeople is a community-based organization that has for the past fifty years planted and cared for millions of trees, restored thousands of acres of fire-scarred wildlands, and helped educate hundreds of thousands of environmentalists. As technical advisors, TreePeople will be assigned to produce the UFMP.

ActiveSGV is a San Gabriel Valley —based nonprofit that works with communities to create healthier, more equitable neighborhoods through active transportation, environmental justice, and community-led projects. ActiveSGV will work with City staff to provide the public outreach, a critical component to the success of this project.

After Council review and discussion of the proposed ICARP grant application at the September 14, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council requested additional information regarding the scope of work and related costs from the co -applicants. The proposal by TreePeople for the creation of the City's First Urban Forestry Management Plan (UFMP) and to serve as serve as an advisor on the City's tree planting project is for an estimated $428,013.44. The proposal submitted by ActiveSGV for public outreach is for an estimated $191 ,970. The outreach will consist of various proposed methods including twelve community tabling events, four community canvasing events and a survey to assist the City in reaching the public both on the Urban Forestry Management Plan and the distribution of trees. The remaining balance is $130,016.44. Those funds will be spent on purchasing additional trees, where demand and available planting space is warranted, and $25,000 will be set aside as required by the grant for post-award activities.

Staff is requesting the Council authorize the partnerships with TreePeople and ActiveSGV to execute the City's tree planning and planting efforts as it relates to the ICARP grant.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:

There is no fiscal impact from the application of ICARP grant funds. Grant funding announcements are expected by the first quarter of 2027. If funded, at least 8% of the total budget must go directly to the partners of the application.

Under the grant, the City will serve as the lead agency, with the community -based partners designated the bulk of the grant funds. The City must enter agreement with the partners, which based on the proposals received, the agreement values will exceed the City Manager's $75,000 contractual authority. Under section 3.381050 of the City's process for professional services, the City Council can dispense with the contracting procedures when it's deemed advantageous for the City to do so.

Such vehicle pursuits pose substantial safety risks to the community and law enforcement; in addition, in certain instances, fleeing suspects might never get identified, apprehended, or criminally prosecuted.
In October 2023, the City approved a contract with StarChase GPS Solutions to provide a law enforcement tool (vehicle mounted/installed and hand-held device) that allows a Police Officer to tag and track a suspect vehicle from a distance prior to or during a vehicle pursuit.
The initial contract was for three years, with a one-time upfront payment of $89,741.24.

This contract is set to expire in October 2026.
The StarChase GPS law enforcement tool has been successfully deployed approximately two dozen times since its inception at the Alhambra Police Department and has aided police officers with safely apprehending suspects wanted for grand theft auto, evading, robbery, drug sales, and other crimes. A contract renewal will allow Alhambra Police to continue equipping its officers with this law enforcement tool.

SoCalREN provides end-to-end support, from identifying equipment upgrades to coordinating low- or no-cost installation by a qualified contractor. As a member of SoCalREN, the City is eligible for this program.

Currently, SoCalREN is offering incentives to public agencies to upgrade existing water heaters to high-efficiency tankless water heaters or heat pump water heaters.

Potential projects for SoCalREN’sconsideration may include water heater upgrades at Police and Fire stations, Park & Recreation facilities, City Hall, the City Yard, and the Library.

Replacing existing, aging water heaters with tankless or heat pump water heaters will improve energy efficiency and conserve water at these City properties.

City Council approval is needed to participate in the program and enter into the participation agreement with SoCalREN. Projects completed through this program support the City’ssustainability goals to increase energy efficiency and water conservation in municipal buildings and operations.

This was the time and place set by Notice No. N2M26 -34 for the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance approving a Zoning Text Amendment to amend Title 23 (Zoning) of the Alhambra Municipal Code to update Chapter 23.15 (Inclusionary

4 4-13-26

Housing) consistent with the objectives of the City’s adopted 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Community Development Director HO delivered a staff report. Paul PENINGER, from BAE Urban Economics working with Environmental Science Associates (ESA), delivered a PowerPoint presentation, which is on file in the City Clerk’s office. Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-03 was a City-initiated update to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO). Based on the proposed updates to the IHO, updates were 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 and were intended to improve clarity as well as align with state housing law - specifically, State Density Bonus Law. The proposed amendments maintained the City’s 15% inclusionary unit requirement while revising affordability level requirements and simplifying compliance mechanisms. Updates to the Inclusionary Housing Regulations and Inclusionary Housing In -Lieu Fee schedule would 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 would be deposited into 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 was not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2)); (2) there was no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, by itself, did not constitute a “project” as defined in section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). It could be seen with certainty that there was no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment.

City Manager BINNQUIST noted that there were corrections made to the in -lieu fee schedule as shown in the PowerPoint presentation and that the updated presentation would be available to the public and on file in the City Clerk’s office.

Open Public Hearing: Mayor Maloney opened the public hearing.

Public Comment:
1) Lewis Mccammon agreed with the recommendations overall and expressed some concerns with the practice in allowing in-lieu fees which results in a continued lack of constructed affordable units. He also discussed difficulties in providing more for -sale units rather than more affordable rental units and referred to the project at 110 S.

Chapel Ave. which evicted tenants.

2) Melissa Michelson discussed the in -lieu fee schedule recommendations and noted that staff recommendations were too low. She further expressed concerns with the in- lieu fees and the lack of constructed affordable units.

3) Adam Bray-Ali expressed concerns with the in -lieu fees and the lack of constructed affordable housing units. He stated that the needed to be less rules and allow for

5 4-13-26

simple building permits to encourage construction.

4) Alborz Motashami, via Zoom, expressed concerns with in -lieu fees and the lack of constructed affordable housing units and made several recommendations regarding the IHO such as density bonuses, lower construction fees, and lower parking minimums.

5) Simon Gibbons, via Zoom, expressed concerns with the restrictions in the IHO and asked Council exercise caution.

City Attorney MONTES made clarifications regarding the density bonus benefits under the current housing ordinances in response to public comment. He further explained the recommendations from staff and the Planning Commission.

Close Public Hearing: After receiving public comment, Mayor Maloney closed the public hearing.

Discussion: Vice Mayor ANDRADE -STADLER discussed in -lieu fees not included in the development and the relation to the Housing Trust Fund with Mr. MONTES and Mr. HO.

Councilmember LEE discussed in-lieu fees schedule in the staff report and the Housing Trust Fund with Mr. HO.

Ms. LEE motioned to increase the in-lieu fees per square foot for rental and sale units and to change the threshold for in-lieu fees from 20 units to 5 units.

Mayor MALONEY continued to discuss in -lieu fees and the ways the City could support affordable units, balancing State density bonus law, and the housing ordinances for neighboring cities.

5. REVIEW OF LOCAL TENANT RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS – F2M26-7

Management Analyst ALVAREZ delivered a staff report. 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 th e owner to enter the residential property). Under AB 1482, landlords are required to provide relocation assistance for certain no-fault evictions, including owner move-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 days 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 protections. 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.

PUBLIC HEARING

2. PUBLIC HEARING TO ADOPT ORDINANCE O2M26-4863 APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMD -26-04 MAKING GENERAL CLARIFYING UPDATES TO THE CITY’S ZONING CODE; AND DETERMINE THIS ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA – F2M20-24, N2M26-46, O2M26-4863

Associate Planner VARGAS presented Notice No. N2M26-46 for the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance approving a Zoning Text Amendment amending various sections of Title 23 (Zoning) of the Alhambra Municipal Code, as well as adding new sections, to address new State legislation, eliminate inconsistencies, clarify ambiguous provisions, correct typographical and formatting errors, and modify use allowances. This is a City-initiated application. From time-to-time updates are made to the Alhambra Municipal Code (AMC) to address new State legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or delete outdated language. While some of these changes require immediate consideration by the Council, most can be addressed periodically. Accordingly, staff brings a code clean -up ordinance to the Council on an annual basis to address modifications needed due to new legislation, as well as other suggested clarifying changes. Clean-ups to the Zoning Code are processed separately from clean -ups to the rest of th e AMC as Planning Commission review is required for Zoning and General Plan Amendments.

Similar to prior clean -ups, this update would address new State legislation, eliminate inconsistencies, and create greater clarity in implementing the Zoning Code. This Zoning Code clean -up include d both proposed amendments and additions. Amendments consisted of revisions to existing sections of the AMC, while additions incorporated entirely new sections into the AMC. The nature of and reasoning for each proposed amendment and addition could be classified by five (5) general categories: 1.) Clarification; 2.) Consistency; 3.) Compliance with State laws/Federal laws; 4.) Typographical &

3 5-11-26

Formatting; and 5.) Use Allowances & Regulations. Some of the proposed amendments and additions were a combination of these five categories. In Attachment 1 of the staff report for this item, each proposed amendment/addition was briefly described in a table, which included a breakdown of the categories applicable to each amendment/addition. All of the proposed amendments and additions were reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan, as required by AMC Section 23.40.080 (General Plan Consistency Required for Zoning Amendments).

At their April 6, 2026 regular meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments and additions in Ordinance No. O2M26 -4863, and adopted Planning Commission Resolution No. 26 -02 by a vote of 7 -0, recommending the City Council approve Zoning Text Amendment AMD -26-04, with one minor revision to verbiage for tandem parking standards (incorporated at the recommendation of staff) and a request to verify accuracy of language included in two sections pertaining to Urban Dwelling Units (SB 9 Units). The recommendations by the Planning Commission were listed in Planning Commission Resolution No. 26-02, which was Attachment 3 of the staff report for this item, and appropriate revisions were incorporated into Ordinance No. O2M26-4863.

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 was not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there was no possibility that this Ordinance would 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 could be seen with certainty that there was no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment.

Open Public Hearing: Mayor Maloney opened the public hearing.

Public Comment:

1) Brian Maida expressed concerns regarding the recent zoning amendments, noting that the smoke shop would cease operations due to the new zoning requirements, highlighting businesses were not involved early in the decision -making process and urged the City Council to reconsider these standards.

2) Sara Durghalli raised objections to the vape and smoke shop regulations, due to the insufficient public noticing timelines and the additional requirements on the current business.

3) Scott Abdulhai concerned on impact of current businesses and transparency of the noticing to businesses.

4) Lewis McCammon commented that AB130, noting his understanding on state mandated laws but recommended that public hearings remain accessible to ensure transparency and community involvement.

Close Public Hearing: After receiving public comment, Mayor Maloney closed the

4 5-11-26

public hearing.

Discussion: Vice Mayor Andrade-Stadler received clarification on the three-year period to implement the proposed changes.

Councilmember WANG supported implementing restrictions on data centers and emphasized the buffer requirement for vape and smoke shops, mandating that these businesses be spaced at least 600 feet apart, with a minimum separation of 1,000 feet to maintain distinction between them. She recommended that applications for Conditional Use Permits be processed within three years to ensure compliance for continued operation. Businesses that fail to meet the distance requirements after this period should be subject to closure.

Councilmember LEE spoke in opposition of allowing vape and smoke shops within the City, and urged for the City Council to include grocery stores and other retail outlets within this requirement to limit the amount of buffer areas available for additional b usiness to come in.

Council Member MAZA expressed opposition to the proposed requirement requiring relocation of vape and smoke shops within three years and discussed the new regulations, emphasizing that they should not adversely affect current vape and smoke shops if there are no performance concerns. The proposal aims to ensure that businesses continue to operate in accordance with established performance standards.

Mayor MALONEY spoke on the proposal to utilize a Director’s hearing, which aims to increase efficiency of approval timelines, as the director is able to hold more hearings over the Planning Commission meetings that are held twice a month. The directors hea ring would still require proper noticing of the affect residence and news paper posting requirements. He wasn't aware that some smoke shops may need to close and is concerned about the current 5 businesses operating under existing regulations.

Vice Mayor ANDRADE -STADLER proposed reviewing a performance report on the current businesses to help identify a balance approach that support existing establishments.

Mayor MALONEY noted that if the City Council's goal is to prohibit smoke and vape shops, it should be reflected in the ordinances rather than focusing on increasing buffer zones or adding additional businesses within the designated areas.

City Attorney Villegas clarified the City Council could: Businesses that are in compliance will be grandfathered and required to go through the CUP process, thus becoming legally non-conforming uses. If any businesses were cited, they should be addressed accordingly.

Action Taken: City Council took the following actions:

1) Directed the City Attorney to introduce and give first reading by title, only waiving further reading to Ordinance entitled:

Ordinance No. O2M26 -4863: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Alhambra adopting Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-04, amending the Alhambra

Municipal Code to address new state laws, eliminate inconsistencies, clarify ambiguous provisions, correct typographical and formatting errors, and modify use allowances

Additionally, no longer permitting smoke and vape retail shops in Alhambra.

Management Analyst ALVAREZ delivered a staff report. This was the time and place set by Notice No. N2M26-35 for the City Council to hold a public hearing regarding Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME funding for the City of Alhambra’s proposed 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan to receive comment pursuant to and in compliance with the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pre -submission requirements as outlined in Section 24 Part 91 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

The City adopts a one -year Action Plan that outlines specific program activities and funding allocations for the upcoming program year using CDBG and HOME funds, in accordance with HUD requirements. The Action Plan is developed in alignment with the City’s five-year Consolidated Plan that was adopted in FY 2025-2026. HUD has officially notified the City of its funding allocations for FY 2026 -2027. The City of Alhambra would receive approximately $823,981 in CDBG funds, an increase of $8,181 from prior year, and $395,699.04 in HOME funds, a decrease of $8,584.28 from prior year’s allocation.

The Proposed Work Program for CDBG funds for FY 2026 -2027 were presented in two alternative schedules based on the approval status of a Section 108 Loan to assist in building the community center: Under Schedule A, the City anticipate d the approval of a Section 108 Loan, which would result in the allocation of $318,000.00 toward the first-year loan repayment obligation. As a result, funding available for direct program activities was adjusted accordingly. Under Schedule B, if the Section 108 Loan was not approved, no debt service payment would be required. As a result, the funding originally designated for loan repayment was reallocated to Housing Rehabilitation and Code Enforcement. The use of Schedule B would not constitute a substantial amendment to the Annual Action Plan. The complete breakdown of funding allocations for the Proposed Work Program (CDBG) Schedule A, Proposed Work Program (CDBG) Schedule B, and Proposed Work Program (HOME) were outlined in the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Assistant City Manager and Management Analyst.

PRESENTATIONS

5. AMENDED BUDGET REVIEW AND RESOLUTION ADOPTING FY 202 6-27 BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS – F2M25-17, R2M26-12

Director of Finance LIEU delivered the presentation and staff report. On June 23, 2025, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27 Budget. On February 23, 2026, the Mid -Year Budget Review was presented, and the City Council approved the recommended budget adjustments for Fiscal Year 2025 -26. Since then, st aff has continued to monitor revenues and expenditures and is now presenting the Amended Budget Review to update the City’s financial projections and appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026-27. Fiscal Year 2025 -26 ended with an unappropriated surplus of $2,007,354, primarily attributable to higher-than-anticipated revenues. These increases were driven by stronger-than-projected property tax receipts resulting from rising assessed values, CPI adjustments, and property reassessments, as well as growth in service charges, grant reimbursements, and interest earnings. These gains were partially offset by declines in sales tax revenues and transfers supporting capital improvement projects. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, staff presents an Amended General Fund Budget reflecting a projected deficit of $1,482,209. When combined with the Fiscal Year 2025 -26 surplus, the overall unappropriated surplus is $525,145. Historically, such surpluses have been allocated to priority needs, including reserve contributions, capital repair and replacement, pension and retirement obligations, and the acquisition of essential equipment. Appropriations to these efforts are made through City Council-approved budget adjustments. City Manager

City Manager BINNQUIST provided clarification during the discussion as needed.

In their discussion, Council noted the other unfunded Strategic Plan Goals and discussed their importance. Council directed staff to continue to seek additional funding sources. Ms.

Coalition to Protect Community Services.

Rising liability costs are directly impacting local budgets and essential community services, which is why CJPIA sought support for this new legislative advocacy effort. The Coalition would bring cities, counties, schools, special districts and other local agencies together to advocate for a more balanced and sustainable liability environment though targeted reforms to state law. Per CJPIA, the effort is focused on protecting public resources while ensuring fair compensation for people injured by local government negligence.

CODE PERTAINING TO THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING

COMMISSION, PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION, LIBRARY BOARD AND

TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AS WELL AS DA YTIME LOITERING AND THE SALE OF SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS – F2M26-16, O2M26-4862

The Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) is a comprehensive gathering of ordinances adopted by the City Council covering a wide range of topics. From time -to-time updates are made to the AMC to address new state legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or delete outdated language. While some of these changes require immediate consideration by the Council, most can be addressed periodically. For this annual review, City staff suggested minor changes to the AMC to reflect current practices and clarify confusing parts of the AMC. First, City staff identified the proposed addition of Section 3.12.180 (Two Year Budget) which would allow for the preparation of two-year budgets, which has been staff’s and the Council’s recent practice and preference to better stabilize the City’s finances. Staff also identified proposed amendments to Sections 2.24.020, 2.28.020,

2.32.030, 2.34.020 (Qualifications – Parks & Recreation Commission, Board of Library Trustees and Transportation Commission) which would further clarify the residency requirements for members of those Boards/Commissions. Furthermore, staff proposed amendments to Section 9.12.030 (Loitering; Daytime) which would change the truancy hours from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily to instead refer to “school hours,” given the variation in school hours on a daily basis, and by school. A minor stopped for a potential violation would only be cited if the particular school they attend was in session at that time and the minor was not excused from attendance. Finally, staff proposed an amendment to Section 19.01.010 (Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks) to address an inconsistency between the fee amount currently stated in the City’s adopted ordinance as it pertained to the sales of Safe and Sane fireworks and the City’s adopted Master Fee Schedule. To ensure accuracy and flexibility moving forward, the proposed ordinance would remove the specific fee amount and instead direct the public to the City’s current fee sche dule, as adopted and periodically updated by resolution of the City Council.

Public Comment: Lewis McCammon discussed the added requirements to Boards and Commissions as well as the other changes to AMC.

22.52.020; CHAPTERS 5.38, 5.52, 5.90, 5.92, AND 22.12; AND ADDING CHAPTER

22.30 OF THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE – F2M26-16, O2M26-4864

Periodically amendments are needed to the Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) based upon changes in legislation and issues arising in implementation of the AMC. This ordinance contains updates to the AMC related to Community Development that are not contained within the Alhambra Zoning Code (“Zoning Code”). A similar clean-up ordinance amending the Zoning Code is also being considered by the City Council at their meeting on May 11, 2026. The proposed ordinance, which shows the proposed AMC text changes in strikethrough and underline, is provided as an attachment to the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Director of Community Development. 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©(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.

Public Comment: Lewis MCCAMMON noted the additional requirements for the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Environmental Sustainability Commission, specifically that members must be residents of the City of Alhambra.

Discussion: None

22. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 6.29 (“RESIDENTIAL TENANT PROTECTIONS”) TO TITLE VI (HEALTH AND

SANITATION) OF THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING AN

INCREASED RELOCATION ASSISTANCE OBLIGATION ON CERTAIN NO -FAULT RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA – F2M26-7, O2M26-4861

Staff is requesting that the City Council consider second reading and adoption of an ordinance adding Chapter 6.29 (Residential Tenant Protections) To Title VI (Health and Sanitation) of the Alhambra Municipal Code establishing an increased relocation assistance obligation on certain no-fault residential evictions in the City of Alhambra. On April 13, 2026, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance to increase relocation assistance payments for no -fault evictions from one (1) month to three (3) months’ rent. The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 6.29 to the City’s Municipal Code, requiring that in those circumstances where relocation assistance is required under AB 1482, that the obligation would be increased from one to three months. To the extent that an owner/landlord does not comply with this requirement, the ordinance provides that such noncompliance can be asserted as a defense in any action brought by the owner to recover possession of a residential unit. Under AB 1482, landlords are required to provide relocation assistance for certain no -fault evictions, including owner move -in, substantial rehabilitation, demolition, or withdrawal of units from the rental market. The proposed ordinance was given first reading at the April 27, 2026 City Council meeting.

He agreed with Ms. Wang’s suggestion to consider language to mitigate impact on small property owners. He suggested carving out 1-4 units, to include a section which would state that the 3 months relocation would apply i n cases where the eviction is due to demolition or substantial remodel.

Ms. LEE did not support further exception for 1-4 units and continued to support the ordinance as written. She stated that she could support exception for 1-2 units. Mr. MONTES provided further clarification as to the application of the ordinance.

Mr. MAZA motioned to move forward with the existing ordinance, with amendments for eviction related to demolition and to exclude 1-4 units from the ordinance. Ms. ANDRADE- STADLER seconded the motion. Ms. LEE proposed a substitute motion for exceptions for single family homes and duplexes, which did not receive a second. Ms. Lee’s motion failed.

Council continued to discuss the ordinance and the proposed exemption for 1-4 units. Mr.

MONTES provided additional clarification and stated that due to the number of proposed changes, staff would have to bring the ordinance back revised for a first readin g. Mr.

MALONEY clarified Council direction to amend the ordinance to create a new exemption for properties of 4 units or under, except in cases where the property is being demolition or substantial renovation then the 3 month assistance would apply. Mr. MONTES and Council discussed where in cases where the 3 months assistance would still apply under the ordinance. Mr. MAZA suggested Council review the ordinance after a year.

Assistant City Manager GARCIA delivered a staff report. Consultants Eugene WONG and Brandon FRIEDMAN from Kimley-Horn delivered the presentation, which is on file in the City Clerk’s office. On February 9, 2026, the City Council received an update to the City’s 710 Mobility Improvement Projects. Specifically, Kimley -Horn provided an overview of how past studies and agency coordination have resulted in today’s phased approach; recapped the latest pro ject updates including the status of the City’s Project Study Report-Project Development Support (PSR -PDS) for the Fremont Improvements; and reviewed the Measure R funding allocations for each of the City’s 710 projects. Kimley- Horn summarized the City’s early corridor -wide study efforts involving the 710 Stub, Fremont Avenue, Atlantic Boulevard, and Garfield Avenue interchanges. The City’s study goals were to reduce neighborhood cut -through traffic, improve traffic safety and operations, and support future bicycle and pedestrian connectivity throughout the corridor. From the February 9 th meeting, the Council requested more clarification and follow up including a meeting with Cal State University, Los Angeles to receive their interests or land use preferences for the Stub; construction updates for both the Fremont Improvements and the Stub Arterial Conversion Project; and clarification on the sequencing of the City’s four main projects (Fremont, 710 Stub, Garfield, Atlantic) and the Caltrans review process. Staff will present 710 Project Updates on the Fremont Avenue Improvements and the 710 Arterial Conversion (Stub) including costing, funding, and additional information obtained from meetings with Cal State University, Los Angeles, Kimley-Horn and Associates, and Caltrans.

Public Comment:

1. Ron Sahu discussed the item at length with members of the City Council, consultants and staff. He felt the money allocated should be used to benefit Alhambra and that the value of this money has decreased over time. He noted

2 5-26-26
his belief that the City was faced with only bad options now due to the decrease in the value of the money allocated. He felt a new team was needed to move forward – consultants and managers. He requested documentation of communications between City staff and Cal State Los Angeles representatives and requested a stand-alone study of the traffic impacts on the main I -10 to get clarity on the effects of the Stub project.

2. Yvonne Guerra expressed concern regarding the possibility that her property would be taken via eminent domain. Responding, Mayor MALONEY noted that her property would not be taken as there were not any residential right -of-way acquisitions related to this project.

3. Mark Nisall, Alhambra Transportation Commissioner, spoke on his own behalf and noted he felt that the cost of construction materials was higher than the rate of inflation; therefore, the City would run out of money by 2034. He felt if the City sped up the timeline, it would make the money available more viable. He no ted the focus should be on the most important issue – getting traffic moving.

4. Michael Legnahcra spoke about his concerns with Alhambra Police Department and his recently filed claim for damage.

5. Tom Ferguson felt the 710 should be extended to Mission Road to alleviate the bottleneck effect on Valley Boulevard. Mayor MALONEY noted that this was not an option per the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority . Mr.

Ferguson also submitted his public comments via email, a copy of which is email is on file in the City Clerk’s office.

6. Lewis McCammon made various comments about the item, including his belief that the biggest traffic problem coming north on the 710 freeway was the I-10 on- ramp and that this was not really Alhambra’s problem to solve with the money it had been allocated. He preferred for the City to move forward on the Stub, the Bike/Ped Plan and the Signal Synchronization projects. He provided the City Council with a handout, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk’s office.

7. Val Marquez favored shutting down the Stub and felt that Alhambra should not pay for state highway traffic issues.

8. Raymond Quan took issue with the confusing technical jargon used to describe the mobility improvement projects and noted it made it difficult for people to understand the issues and the big picture. He also felt the report by Kimley -Horn was incomplete because it only addressed 1 out of 4 issues – the northbound cut-through traffic during evening rush -hour – but not the o ther 3 issues such as the southbound cut -through traffic during the evening rush hour . He noted his frustration with how long the process was taking and the lack of forward progress.

9. Omar Galicia expressed his desire for the City to move forward with implementation of the Bike/Ped Plan.

10. Alborz Mohtasham representing Alhambra Urbanists, noted a preference for the City to redesign the Stub as a c ommunity neighborhood using the Main Street

3 5-26-26
CBD as a template. Mr. Mohtashami also submitted his publi c comments via email, a copy of which email is on file in the City Clerk’s office.

11. Walter Okitsu advocated for more bike-friendly infrastructure work in the City.

12. Shirley Tatsuno noted that with respect to the money allocated for the 710 Mobility Improvements, the City should concentrate on what Alhambra wants first and focus on helping the Fifth District.

48. APPROVAL OF A CHANGE ORDER TO CONTRACT FOR THE STORM DRAIN REHABILITATION PROJECT ON CARLOS AVENUE – F2M25-64, C2M26-5, M2M26-83

9 6-22-26

On January 26, 2025, the City Council approved an award of Contract to Torres Sanitation Systems Construction for the Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project on Carlos Avenue in an amount not to exceed $100,300.00 (C2M26 -5). The Storm Drain Pipe Repair Project originally intended to rehabilitate a failing drainage line from 2027 Carlos Avenue to Montezuma Avenue. Due to the alignment passing multiple private properties, a trenchless pipe-lining method was selected to minimize surface disruption. However, pre- lining video inspections revealed severe structural deterioration undetected during initial assessments. Portions of the existing corrugated metal pipe were completely rusted out, leaving the pipe without a bottom section. This structural failure made immedia te trenchless lining technically infeasible without structural stabilization. To resolve this issue and complete the project, the contractor would perform open-trench spot repairs at three distinct locations. This proposed Change Order would cover the direct costs of these structural spot repairs, alongside necessary site restoration efforts including concrete paving, soil leveling, and property cleaning.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council approve d Change Order No. 1 for the Storm Drain Rehabilitation Project on Carlos Avenue, increasing Contract No. C2M26-5 with Torres Sanitation Systems Construction by $48,000.00 and bringing the total revised contract value to an amount not to exceed $148,300.00 to complete the project; appropriate d $48,000.00 from the Safe Clean Water Program Fund to cover the change order; and , directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

36. APPROVAL OF A CHANGE ORDER TO THE CONTRACT FOR ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY TRANSIT AND SENIOR RIDE – F2M24-30, C2M25-30, M2M26-106

Effective July 1, 2025, a contract with First Transit was executed to provide contracted transit operations for Alhambra Community Transit (ACT) and Alhambra Senior Ride. The agreement with First Transit would expire on June 30, 2030. During the past year, several unanticipated construction projects and service disruptions resulted in delays and extended operating hours on the route. Based on the actual service hours incurred during the first eleven months of FY 2025-26, the original contract budget was projected to be insufficient to cover operating costs for the final month of the fiscal year. A change order was required to address the funding shortfall. The additional funding would allow for payment of the final invoice for June 2026 services and facilitate the closeout of the FY 2025-26 contract term.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council approve d Change Order No. 1 for FY 2025-2026, Alhambra Community Transit and Senior Ride contract with First Transit Inc., increasing Contract No. C2M25-26 by $102,000.00, bringing the total revised contract value to $3,081,821.02, subject to approval by the City Manager and City Attorney ; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.

As part of that process, the California State Board of Equalization required the Society’s governing documents to include provisions dedicating its assets to charitable purposes and specifying the distribution of assets upon dissolution. To meet these requirements while preserving the City ’s interest in the Museum collection and assets associated with the Museum, the City and the Society propose d amending Paragraph 4 of the Agreement.

Paragraph 7 of the Agreement provided that amendments must be approved in writing by both parties and recorded with the Los Angeles County Recorder.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with the Alhambra Historical Society, revisions to the Bylaws, and an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation; and , directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s actions. (M2M26-108)

39. AWARD OF CONTRACT PURCHASE OF ONE COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS FUELED PASSENGER BUS FOR THE ALHAMBRA COMMUNITY TRANSIT – F2M26- 6A, C2M26-41, M2M26-110

Staff recommended the purchase of a single replacement bus at this time because the City was actively working with transit consultants to develop a long-term fleet electrification strategy. As the City evaluates the transition to battery -electric buses and the infrastructure necessary to support them, purchasing one replacement CNG bus would ensure the continued reliability of transit operations while maintaining flexibility for future fleet replacement decisions. The proposed purchase would be made through the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (Cal ACT) cooperative purchasing program. Using the co -op purchase contract enable d the City to leverage competitively solicited pricing and streamlined procurement procedures, resulting in cost savings. The City’s Municipal Code under 3.36.080(B)(3) authorizes dispensing with the City’s purchasing methods if the supply or equipment is available through or in conjunction with another public agency’s purchase of such supply or equipment, and the other public entity has gone through a bidding process the City determines is comparable to the City’s processes (piggybacking).

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council awarded a contract to GILLIG LLC, for the purchase of one (1) 35-foot compressed natural gas (CNG) transit bus for the Alhambra Community Transit (ACT) system in the amount of $850,000.00 ; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

With services remain ing acceptable, the City Manager was authorized to approve two consecutive one -year extensions. This second contract amendment would not only extend the term to June 2027, but also increase the annual contract by $25,000.00 beginning June 2026. Contract fee increases would reflect the rising costs of production, materials, and expanded paramedic services.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council approved an amendment to the contract with Infosend Inc. (Contract No. C2M22-26), subject to final language review by the City Manager and City Attorney, to increase the contract by $25,000.00 a year for electronic bill presentation, payment services, data processing, printing, and mailing services for uti lity billing; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.

42. APPROVAL OF THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PLAN – F2M22-64, M2M26-113

City staff and consultants from ESA completed the City of Alhambra’s first Comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Plan (the Plan) to provide a long-term framework that would help improve environmental and sustainability issues within Alhambra. This final draft of the Plan was the product of extensive data analysis, community engagement, and input from experts and stakeholders. At the direction of the City Council, staff and ESA held a monthlong period for public comment on the public draft that was released in late March 2026. The final draft of the Plan contain ed unique strategies, measurable targets, and achievable actions to describe the steps for reaching the City’s vision of sustainability. It identified high priority programs and projects for staff to undertake in the first years after adoption. Importantly, the Plan also identified key metrics that would be used to measure the impact of the actions. A detailed path for implementation was a key component of the Plan. Staff would continue to provide regular updates to the Environmental Sustainability Commission and seek guidance on prioritization of the recommended actions in the Plan with the budget Council provided. Staff would continue community engagement and outreach to educate residents, businesses, and stakeholders about the sustainability action items. Staff would actively pursue grant funding, strategic partnerships, and other resources to support implementation and leverage City investments to maximize community and environmental benefits.

Public Comment:
1) Lewis McCammon spoke in favor of the Plan.

2) Sawyer Brooks encouraged more Council discussion of the item. He supported sustainability measures for renters. He stated that the Plan fell short with respect to handling buildings and cars. He suggested stronger language and more requirements to incentivize all -electric developments, walkable mixed use development neighborhoods, and better transit options and connections. He also suggested expanded responsibility for the Environmental Sustainability Commi ssion and a dedicated staff member to oversee implementation.

Discussion: Mayor MALONEY spoke in support of the Plan and agreed with comments made by Mr. Brooks. He stated that the Plan should be considered a living document which could continue to evolve to meet the community’s needs. He also stressed the importance to implement the plan. He made a motion to adopt the Plan with additional suggestions for the implementation plan. He suggested reviewing similar plans in other divisions, coordination between departments, a public dashboard to review progress, for staff to provide progress updates at Environmental Sustainability Commission meetings, for the Environmental Sustainability Commission to provide input to staff for implementation, for staff to continue to seek out additional funding sources with sustainability aspects, requested a distilled down list of projects from the Plan which would not require capital investment, requested an energy audit of the City, and receive input from staff regarding use of surplus money Council allocated to the Plan.

Vice Mayor ANDRADE -STADLER supported Mr. Maloney’s suggestions and spoke in support of the Plan. Councilmember WANG spoke in support of Mr. Maloney’s suggestions. Councilmember MAZA supported Mr. Maloney’s suggestions.

Councilmember LEE supported the Plan and the need for continued review.

43. AWARD OF CONTRACT TO THE ENERGY COALITION FOR DIRECT -TO-RENTER PILOT PROGRAM – F2M26-36, C2M26-43, M2M26-114

In December, the City secured funding from the Clean Power Alliance Innovation Fund to develop a program to provide income-qualified Alhambra renters energy-efficient electric appliances, such as HEPA air purifiers, portable heat pump HVAC units, smart plu gs, or portable power stations. The pilot program, called Renter’s EDGE (equity -driven green electrification), will provide these renter -friendly electric appliances at no cost directly to income-qualified Alhambra renters who are Clean Power Alliance customers. Successful implementation of a new direct-to-renter program requires specialized technical expertise, data management, and appliance procurement capabilities. Staff recommends utilizing the piggybacking process to award this contract to the Energy Coalition (TEC) based on the procurement process undertaken by other public agencies (Alhambra Municipal Code Section 3.36.080(B)(3)). The City of Santa Monica and Orange County Power Authority each selected TEC to provide technical assistance, support and/or program design oversight for similar direct -to-renter programs, through their respective competitive processes. TEC was also awarded, through a competitive process, a Community Energy Innovation Prize from the U.S. Department of Energy to design and implement a pilot project in Pomona. For the City of Alhambra, TEC will provide comprehensive program implementation services, including the creation of marketing and outreach materials, development of the participant application process, procurement and delivery of appliances, and data collection and analysis.

Public Comment: Lewis McCammon spoke in favor of the program.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council approved a contract, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, by and between the City of Alhambra and the Energy Coalition (TEC), for the direct-to-renter pilot program in an amount not to exceed $125,000.00; and, directed staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

44. CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH KIMLEY HORN FOR ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC STUDY WORK TO FURTHER ASSESS IMPACT FROM THE CITY’S 710 STUB ARTERIAL CONVERSION PROJECT – F2M19-32, C2M20-43, M2M26-115

29 6-22-26

At the May 26, 2026 710 MIPs Town Hall, the City Council directed staff and engineers pause on the next phase of work —the Project Approval and Environmental Document, Plans, Specifications and Estimate (PSE) and Right of Way (RW) work for the Fremont Interchange Project —until such time additional traffic and impact analyses were conducted to further evaluate the potential effects and mitigation associated with the City’s 710 Stub Arterial Conversion Project before determining future project development sequencing. Understanding the City’s Municipal Code would allow the Council to waive additional procurement procedures when advantageous for the City to do so, the City Council further directed Kimley Horn facilitate the study work considering their intimate knowledge with the City’s MIPs. On June 17, 2026, staff received a detailed proposal from Kimley Horn outlining the scope of work under this task, schedule, and related costs.

Kimley Horn would provide a corrido r- wide traffic analysis independent of the Caltrans project development process. The purpose of this effort was to evaluate the Stub Arterial Conversion Project alternatives, assess resulting impacts to local and regional transportation facilities, identify operational deficiencies, and develop mitigation strategies that may improve overall system performance. The study would evaluate traffic conditions throughout the corridor, including the l-10/Fremont Avenue, 1-10/Atlantic Boulevard, and 1-10/Garfield Avenue interchange areas, and would provide technical findings and recommendations to support future City decision-making. The costs for the study work were $326,098, bringing the contract’s not-to-exceed total to $6,639,613.79. It would take approximately six months to complete the study work, which results would subsequently be presented to the Council during a public meeting.

Public Comment:
1) Lewis McCammon provided a handout to Council and discussed traffic merging on Fremont and Hellman. He did not support an arterial design, which would impact traffic traveling east on the 10 Freeway.

2) Ron Sahu, representing Grassroots Alhambra, submitted his comments via email. Mr.

SAHU thanked Council for the Town Hall discussion regarding the 710 project and supported the traffic study with some amendments. He requested greater transparency, increased public involvement, and completion in 4 months.

3) Melissa Michelson expressed concerns with the neutrality of Kimley -Horn as a contracted consultant. She also requested that the traffic study include Valley and Fremont.

4) Jeffrey Gomez spoke against the study and discussed the lack of need for the study.

Discussion: Mayor MALONEY addressed Mr. Sahu’s comments and suggestions. He supported the suggestion for greater transparency to track changes, requested staff try to expedite the work to be presented before the winter holidays, and suggested a subcommittee of the Council to participate in meetings with the consultant to then provide updates to the public. He went on to address concerns regarding funding and provided clarification.

Vice Mayor ANDRADE -STADLER agreed with Mr. Maloney’s comments regarding transparency and volunteered to be a part of the subcommittee. She agreed with the suggestion for the subcommittee to interact with the public and receive input. She also

30 6-22-26

supported the new funding sources and reported positive feedback from families of Fremont Elementary School.

Councilmember WANG discussed the need for continued clarification and updated information and discussed the impact assessment and mitigation which was included in the new scope of work. She questioned if the scope could be narrowed to expedite the traffic study and the continuation of the PAD process. Eugene WONG from Kimley -Horn provided clarification regarding the new scope of work after receiving feedback from the Town Hall meeting.

Councilmember MAZA supported Ms. Wang’s suggestion for Kimley -Horn to try and expedite the study. He supported the creation of a subcommittee and cautioned that the additional input should not slow down the process.

Councilmember LEE discussed the Town Hall meeting and receiving feedback from residents directly impacted. Mr. WONG provided clarification regarding the traffic study and the potential exploration of the Fremont Interchange Project. They continued to discuss pressure from Council, the need to expedite analysis, and the increased costs.

They also discussed the next steps in deliverable goals and the assessment report.

Mayor MALONEY discussed the City’s overall objective with the project and supported the study. He requested a motion with his added suggestions regarding transparency, Ms.

Wang’s suggestion regarding streamlined costs, and the suggestion for a subcommittee consisting of Mayor Maloney and Vice Mayor ANDRADE-STADLER. Council continued to discuss Mr. Maloney’s suggestions.

Action Taken: City Council approved a Fourth Contract Amendment with Kimley- Horn (Contract C2M20-43), subject to final language approval by the City Manager and the City Attorney, for an additional $326,098 for professional engineering consulting services for additional traffic and impact analyses to further evaluate the potential effects and mitigation associated with the City’s 710 Stub Arterial Conversion Project; authorize appropriations in the amount of $326,098 from Measure M Funds in Fiscal Year 2026-27 for the costs associated with t his study work; directed the consultant and staff provide progress updates; authorized the creation of a Council subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Maloney and Vice Mayor ANDRADE -STADLER, to meet with the consultant and the public; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize the Council’s action.

49. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 6.29 (“RESIDENTIAL TENANT PROTECTIONS”) TO TITLE VI (HEALTH AND SANITATION) OF THE

ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING AN INCREASED RELOCATION

ASSISTANCE OBLIGATION ON CERTAIN NO -FAULT RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA – F2M26-7, O2M26-4861

50. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR A GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN SAID CITY TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 3, 2026, PROVIDING FOR

THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION WITH THE STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION; SAID ELECTION BEING HELD FOR A BALL OT MEASURE TO AMEND ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.70
(“TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX”) – F2M26-33, O2M26-4865

Alhambra has provided a variety of essential municipal services, including Fire, Police,

34 6-22-26

Emergency 911, youth and senior services, library, parks, public works and utilities. In recent years, the City’s ability to maintain these services has become more difficult with service costs increasing including costs from impacts to infrastructure and public safety from short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. Short-term vacation rentals have impacted local services and infrastructure just as traditional hotels; however, short- term rentals currently in Alhambra have not been paying the same transient occupancy tax imposed on traditional hotels. For the 2026-27 Fiscal Year Budget, the City’s finances showed a net zero unassigned General Fund Balance, meaning there have been no additional or surplus funds available to address a host of priorities including facility upgrades, reserve contributions, capital and equipment repair and replacement, and unfunded liability. The City must identify and secure funding streams, if adopted by Alhambra voters, which ensure visitor-related impacts would be funded by visitors and not residents. The City of Alhambra aims to preserve Alhambra’s quality of life, including well- maintained streets, quality of local parks, safe and clean neighborhoods, and rapid 911 response. A local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) for short-term vacation rentals for stays up to 30 days at the same rate (12% of the rent charged by an operator of a hotel or motel) as specified under the City’s existing TOT under the Alhambra Municipal Code Chapter

5.70 would help support the services the Alhambra community have designated as important at levels consistent with the community’s priorities. Calling the election requires adoption of an ordinance. The proposed ordinance would do the following: Set forth City Council approval of a TOT of 12% for short-term vacation rentals for stays up to 30 days, subject to Alhambra voter approval; Call a general municipal election on November 3, 2026, for the purpose of submitting the Ballot Measure for consideration of the qualified electors of the City, modernizing the definitions of “transients” and “hotel” in the TOT Ordinance, while not changing the TOT rate of 12%, and that ballot measure would be presented as an amendment to a general tax imposed for general governmental purposes, with revenue from the tax to be placed in the City’s general fund to pay for any general governmental purpose; Direct the City Attorney to prepare the measure summary per Elections Code 9280; and, Sets out time frames and deadlines for submittal of ballot arguments and rebuttals.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council, by one motion, took the following actions:

1.

51. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE APPROVING ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT AMD-26-04 MAKING GENERAL CLARIFYING UPDATES TO THE CITY’S ZONING CODE; AND DETERMINE THIS ACTION IS EXEMPT FROM CEQA – F2M20-24, O2M26-4863

Staff requested that the City Council consider second reading and adoption of an ordinance approving Zoning Text Amendment AMD -26-04 making general clarifying updates to the City’s Zoning Code; and determine this action is exempt from CEQA. This would be a City-initiated application. From time-to-time updates are made to the Alhambra Municipal Code (AMC) to address new State legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or delete outdated language. While some of these changes require immediate consideration by the Council, most can be addressed periodically. Accordingly, staff brings a code clean- up ordinance to the Council on an annual basis to address modifications needed due to new legislation, as well as other suggested clarifying changes. Clean-ups to the Zoning Code are processed separately from clean -ups to the rest of the AMC as Planning Commission review is required for Zoning and General Plan Amendments. Similar to prior clean-ups, this update will address new State legislation, eliminate inconsistencies, and create greater clarity in implementing the Zoning Code. This Zoning Code clean -up included both proposed amendments and additions. Amendments consist of revisions to existing sections of the AMC, while additions incorporate entirely new sections into the AMC. The nature of and reasoning for each proposed amendment and addition could be classified by five (5) general categories: 1.) Clarification; 2.) Consistency; 3.) Compliance with State laws/Federal laws; 4.) Typographical & Formatting; and 5.) Use Allowances & Regulations. Some of the proposed amendments and additions were a combination of these five categories. In Attachment 1 of the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Director of Community Development, each proposed amendment/addition was briefly described in a table, which include d a breakdown of the categories applicable to each amendment/addition. All of the proposed amendments and additions were reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan, as required by AMC Section 23.40.080 (General Plan Consistency Required for Zoning Amendments).

For this annual review, City staff suggested minor changes to the AMC to reflect current practices and clarify confusing parts of the AMC. First, C ity staff identified the proposed addition of Section 3.12.180 (Two Year Budget) which would allow for the preparation of two -year budgets, which has been staff’s and the Council’s recent practice and preference to better stabilize the City’s finances. Staff also identified proposed amendments to Sections

2.24.020, 2.28.020, 2.32.030, 2.34.020 (Qualifications – Parks & Recreation Commission, Board of Library Trustees and Transportation Commission) which would further clarify the residency requirements for members of those Boards/Commissions. Furthermore, staff proposed amendments to Section 9.12.030 (Loitering; Daytime) which would change the truancy hours from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily to instead refer to “school hours,” given the variation in school hours on a daily basis, and by school. Finally, staff proposed an amendment to Section 19.01.010 (Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks) to address an inconsistency between the fee amount currently stated in the City’s adopted ordinance as it pertained to the sales of Safe and Sane fireworks and the City’s adopted Master Fee Schedule. To ensure accuracy and flexibility moving forward, the proposed ordinance would remove the specific fee amount and instead direct the public to the City’s current fee schedule, as adopted and periodically updated by resolution of the City Council. The proposed ordinance was given first reading at the May 11, 2026 City Council meeting.

Periodically amendments are needed to the Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) based upon changes in legislation and issues arising in implementation of the AMC.

The proposed ordinance, which showed the proposed AMC text changes in strikethrough and underline, was provided as an attachment to the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Director of Community Development . 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 was not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal.

Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there was no possibility that this Ordinance would have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, by itself, would not constitute a “project” as defined in section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal.

3. CONSIDERATION OF AND INTRODUCTION FOR FIRST READINGS OF ORDINANCE NO. O2M26-4867 AND ORDINANCE NO. O2M26-4868 CALLING AN ELECTION FOR

A BALLOT MEASURE TO AMEND THE ALHAMBRA CHARTER PERTAINING TO

TERM LIMITS AND A BALLOT MEASURE BANNING DATA CENTERS, INCLUDING ASSOCIATED CEQA DETERMINATION LANGUAGE FOR EACH – F2M26-33, O2M26- 4867, O2M26-4868

Mayor MALONEY provided an introduction for the item and provided background and clarifications regarding City process to adopt an ordinance. At the June 22, 2026 City Council meeting a member of the public submitted for Council’s consideration proposed language that could be used in two ballot measures for consideration by the voters in Alhambra. The first pertained to Council term limits and the second pertained to a ban on data centers. Council expressed interest in potentially holding a special meeting to discuss the two measures. The City Attorney’s office reviewed both measures, made some clarifying changes to the language to resolve certain ambiguities and drafted the ordinances necessary to place these on the ballot, should the Council wish to do so.

The Alhambra Charter currently provides that a Councilmember may serve three consecutive four-year terms and then must take a three-year break before running again.

At that point the Councilmember can serve another three consecutive terms before another break must be taken. This could be repeated indefinitely. The proposed language would limit a person from holding more than 5 Council terms during their lifetime. After the third consecutive term they must sit out one four-year term before running again, at which point they would be limited to two more consecutiv e terms. The language also was not intended to apply to terms served prior to 2027 by sitting Councilmembers. The proposed language has been modified to eliminate certain potential ambiguities that could arise in its implementation.

On June 22, 2026, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. O2M26-4863 which included a ban on data centers. More specifically, the amendment includes a definition of data centers, and then lists them as prohibited in the employment zoning districts and does not list them as a permitted use in any other zone in the City. (Uses not listed as permitted are prohibited.) The proposed Ordinance would use the same definition used previously and add “Data Centers would be prohibited in all zones of the City” to the end of the definition.

Mr. MALONEY noted receiving feedback from the public and that there was no community consensus regarding a charter amendment to amend Councilmember’s term limits . He stated that community expressed concerns in the perceived urgency of the ballot measure pertaining to term limits and that the majority of public urged Council review the subject in time. Mr. MALONEY stated that should the City decide to review term limits, that the review be conducted with time to receive appropriate input from staff and the public. He requested Council table discussion of the proposed ballot measure pertaining to Council term limits and stated that the public could still provide comment. Vice Mayor ANDRADE-STADLER supported Mr. Maloney’s suggestion and agreed that there could be future discussion of the topic. Council supported tabling consideration of a ballot measure pertaining to a

4 7-14-26
Charter Amendment to change Council term limits at this time.

Mr. MALONEY provided further clarification regarding the proposed Ballot Measure to ban data centers.

The proposed Ordinance No. O2M26-4868 would enact the same ban with no additional environmental impacts and as such is not a new project within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 20165 and it can be seen with certainty that there will be no additional impacts not previously studied under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

Senior Planner, Megan WU presented a staff report and Jamie WILLIAMS of RRM Design Group delivered a presentation, which is on file in the City Clerk’s office. This was the time and place set by Notice No. N2M26 -84 for the City Council to hold a public hearing to consider an application for Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-07, Zoning Map Amendment AMD-26-05, General Plan Text Amendment AMD -26-08, and General Plan Map Amendment AMD-26-06. Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-07, Zoning Map Amendment AMD-26-05, General Plan Text Amendment AMD -26-08, and General Plan Map Amendment AMD -26-06 were City-initiated applications to update the City’s existing objective design standards in Title 23 (Zoning) of the Alhambra Municipal Code, as well as eliminate the West Main Corridor Master Plan Overlay District Zoning classification and the corresponding Downtown Specific Plan Overlay General Plan Land Use designation, to accommodate adoption of new focus -area design guidelines. The proposed amendments were intended to facilitate and encourage quality design in the City, and would also ensure City documents reflect internal consistency in their references to General Plan Land Use designations and Zoning classifications. Additionally, updates were proposed to rectify prior mapping errors for two (2) existing parcels at APN 5364 - 018-019 and 5364-018-020.

The City’s adopted 2021 -2029 Housing Element include d programs to establish design guidelines and city -wide objective design standards. Additionally, the City Council’s Strategic Plan identified development of design guidelines for multi -family residential, commercial, and mixed -use developments to further t he goal of improving housing opportunities in the City. While design guidelines have provided recommendations that encourage high-quality architecture and reinforce the City’s desired community character, objective design standards are required under various State housing laws to ensure qualifying development projects are reviewed and approved using measurable, objective criteria, rather than subjective or discretionary judgment. The proposed design guidelines and design standards pertained to regulating and guiding the architecture and design of buildings and did not propose to change any physical development standards such as density, setbacks, height, or parking.

On May 18, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed Zoning Text Amendment, Zoning Map Amendment, General Plan Text Amendment, and General Plan Map Amendment. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 26-07 recommending that the City Council approve the proposed amendments. Once adopted by the City Council, the updates to the objective design standards would go into effect 40 days after final approval and adoption of the Ordinance, and these standards would be applied to new projects going forward. The newly adopted design guidelines would become effective upon the effective date of the Ordinance adopting the updated objective design standards and eliminating the West Main Street Corridor Master Plan area. While the new standards and design guidelines would start being implemented for new projects later this year, the timeline of when the community would start seeing the fruition of these new standards and guidelines in future development projects could be several years.

Finally, the City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance and City Council Resolutions under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.

4 7-27-26

Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). This Ordinance and City Council Resolutions were not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there was no possibility that this Ordinance or City Council Resolutions would have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance and City Council Resolutions, by itself, did not constitute a “project” as defined in section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). It could be seen with certainty that there was no possibility that this Ordinance and City Council Resolutions could have a significant effect on the environment.

20. CONSIDERATION OF AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. O2M26 -4868 CALLING

AN ELECTION FOR BALLOT MEASURE BANNING DATA CENTERS, INCLUDING ASSOCIATED CEQA DETERMINATION LANGUAGE – F2M26-33, O2M26-4868

At a special meeting of the Alhambra City Council held July 14, 2026 the City Council introduced ordinance No. O2M26-4868 for first reading, calling for an election on a ballot measure to ban data centers in the City. The Ordinance was attached for consideration and adoption by the Council. Additionally, a resolution was attached for the Council’s consideration, requesting that the County consolidate the election on the ballot measure with the General Election on November 2,2026. Additionally, should the Council wish to be the authors of the argument in support of the bal lot measure, a draft argument was included for consideration. The argument cannot be more than 300 words.

Public Comment:

1) Amy Wong, expressed support for the ban on data centers and noted involvement in

15 7-27-26

this initiative within the City of Monterey Park.

2) Andrew Yip, spoke in support of banning data centers.

3) Lewis McCammon, via Zoom, spoke in support of banning the data center, which was already incorporated into the General Plan and mentioned it was encouraging to see this measure presented to residents for a vote, making it difficult to reverse this discussion.

Discussion: None.

Action Taken: City Council, by one motion, took the following actions:

1. Found that adoption of Ordinance No. O2M26 -4868 pertaining to a ban on data centers in the City was not subject to further CEQA review as the city previously adopted a van via City Council Ordinance No. O2M26 -4863, for which CEQA review was undertaken and a CEQA determination was made. The proposed Ordinance No. O2M26 -4868 would enact the same ban with n o additional environmental impacts and as such was not a new project within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 20165 and it could be seen with certainty that there would be no additional impacts not previously studied under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).

2. Adopted the following ordinance entitled:

Ordinance No. O2M26-4868: An Ordinance of the Alhambra City Council providing for a General Municipal Election in said City to be held on November 3, 2026, providing for the consolidation of the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Electio n; said election being held for a Ballot Measure to Ban Data Centers within the City of Alhambra.

3. Adopted the following resolution entitled:

Resolution No. R2M26-26: A Resolution of the Alhambra City Council requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to order the consolidation of an Alhambra General Municipal Election to consider a ballot measure banning data centers to be held on November 3, 2026 with the Statewide General Election to be held in Los Angeles County the same day, to authorize the Board Of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to canvass the returns of said General Municipal Election and to request that th e Registrar of Voters of said County be permitted to render specified services to the City of Alhambra relating to the conduct of said General Municipal Election pursuant to Elections Code Section 10403.

4. Designated the City Council as the authors of the argument in support of the Ballot Measure and approve the form of the argument included with this staff report.

21. SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR A GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN SAID CITY TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 3, 2026, PROVIDING FOR

THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION WITH THE STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION; SAID ELECTION BEING HELD FOR A BAL LOT MEASURE TO AMEND ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.70
(“TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX”) – F2M26-33, O2M26-4865

Alhambra has provided a variety of essential municipal services, including Fire, Police, Emergency 911, youth and senior services, library, parks, public works and utilities. In recent years, the City’s ability to maintain these services has become more difficult with service costs increasing including costs from impacts to infrastructure and public safety from short-term vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods. Short-term vacation rentals have impacted local services and infrastructure just as traditional hotels; however, short- term rentals currently in Alhambra have not been paying the same transient occupancy tax imposed on traditional hotels. For the 2026-27 Fiscal Year Budget, the City’s finances showed a net zero unassigned General Fund Balance, meaning there have been no additional or surplus funds available to address a host of priorities including facility upgrades, reserve contributions, capital and equipment repair and replacement, and unfunded liability. The City must identify and secure funding streams, if adopted by Alhambra voters, which ensure visitor-related impacts would be funded by visitors and not residents. The City of Alhambra aims to preserve Alhambra’s quality of life, including well- maintained streets, quality of local parks, safe and clean neighborhoods, and rapid 911 response. A local Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) for short-term vacation rentals for stays up to 30 days at the same rate (12% of the rent charged by an operator of a hotel or motel) as specified under the City’s existing TOT under the Alhambra Municipal Code Chapter

5.70 would help support the services the Alhambra community have designated as important at levels consistent with the community’s priorities. Calling the election requires adoption of an ordinance. The proposed ordinance would do the following: Set forth City Council approval of a TOT of 12% for short-term vacation rentals for stays up to 30 days, subject to Alhambra voter approval; Call a gener al municipal election on November 3, 2026, for the purpose of submitting the Ballot Measure for consideration of the qualified electors of the City, modernizing the definitions of “transients” and “hotel” in the TOT Ordinance, while not changing the TOT ra te of 12%, and that ballot measure would be presented as an amendment to a general tax imposed for general governmental purposes, with revenue from the tax to be placed in the City’s general fund to pay for any general governmental purpose; Direct the City Attorney to prepare the measure summary per Elections Code 9280; and, Sets out time frames and deadlines for submittal of ballot arguments and rebuttals.

Public Comment: Lewis MCCAMMON discussed the transient occupancy tax that would be present in the November 2026 Election for resident to vote.

Discussion: None
