Code Enforcement\ninvestigated the matter and determined the property in question was part of Story Park.\nThe investigation also revealed the land was landlocked and only accessible through the\nsix adjacent residential properties east of Story Park.\nOn January 25, 2021, the City Council requested staff prepare an appraisal of the Property\nand also directed staff to reach out to all six property owners immediately adjacent to the\neast of the property to inquire about potential interests in transferring the park land.

Specifically, the 710 Terminus\narea is excluded from the text, because of Alhambra’s Arterial Conversion Project. The\nbill, however, remains focused on “adjacent areas” that address land use, planning, and\ntransportation beyond Alhambra’s 710 Arterial Project. These areas include state owned\nproperties impacted by past planning for State Route 710, within Los Angeles County,\n18\n6-26-23\nincluding North Eastern Street (to the west); Huntington Drive (west of the Huntington\nDrive and West Main Street (east of that intersection, north); South Fremont Avenue (on\nthe east); and Route 10 (on the south). The revised bill is written such that the Committee\nwill not impede a local jurisdiction’s ability to implement any project at the Terminus or in\nadjacent areas. As supported, SB 710 ensures affected communities including Alhambra\nhave opportunity to comment and participate in the revitalization and planning of “other”\nareas adjacent to the Terminus.\nRecommended Action: City Council approve the letter of support as outlined in the\nAssistant City Manager’s June 26, 2023 report for SB 710, as amended, by Senator Maria\nElena Durazo regarding the Sale of Excess State Highway Property Bill, which excludes\nthat property portion of the State Route 710 Terminus for Alhambra’s conversion from a\nsix-lane freeway to a four-lane local arterial to reduce cut-through traffic, enhance safety,\nreduce congestion by improving operational efficiency and supporting multi-modal and\nsustainability options.

35. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE IMPOSING A TEMPORARY\nMORATORIUM ON NO FAULT, SUBSTANTIAL REMODEL EVICTIONS FOR CERTAIN\nRESIDENTIAL TENANCIES IN THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA – F2M23-7, O2M23-4812\nOn January 1, 2020, the California Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (AB 1482) established\nan annual rent increase cap of five percent plus inflation or ten percent, whichever is lower.\n19\n6-26-23\nAB 1482 also prohibits evictions without “just cause” (as defined). However, AB 1482\ncontains numerous exceptions. One of those exceptions allows owners to evict tenants in\norder “to demolish or to substantially remodel” a rental unit. This report refers to these as\n“substantial remodel evictions.” After the tenancy is terminated, the owner can raise rent\non the newly-remodeled unit in excess of AB 1482’s rent cap. At its regular meeting on\nMay 8, 2023, the City Council heard testimony from certain tenants and tenant advocates\nabout impending renovation eviction notices. The Council directed an ordinance similar to\nthat adopted by the City of Claremont and other cities be adopted to provide the City\nadditional time to study the appropriate tenant protections for Alhambra. Staff has\nprepared temporary renovation eviction moratorium ordinances for the City Council’s\nconsideration. Staff recommends the temporary moratorium be in place for six months,\nbut the City Council can direct staff to adjust the time period, if preferred. Many types of\nresidential rental properties are exempt from AB 1482’s tenant protections and would also\nbe exempt from the proposed ordinances. If adopted as drafted, the Temporary Eviction\nMoratorium Ordinances will apply to all non-exempt residential rental units, including\nwhere a notice to vacate or to quit the rental unit has been served prior to the effective\ndate of the ordinance, but where an unlawful detainer judgment has not been issued as of\nthe effective date of the ordinance. Many cities and counties (including the County of Los\nAngeles and the Cities of Los Angeles, Long Beach, South Pasadena, Claremont, and\nPomona) have adopted measures to heighten protection for tenants facing no fault\nevictions. These are issues that staff will study and can bring back to the Council for its\nconsideration during the pendency of the moratorium ordinance, if the Council adopts\nsame.\nRecommended Action: City Council declare introduced for its second reading and\nadopt the following ordinance entitled:\nOrdinance No. O2M23-4812: An Uncodified Ordinance of the City Council of\nthe City of Alhambra, California establishing a temporary Moratorium on\ncertain “no fault” residential evictions due to a property owner’s intent to\nsubstantially remodel the tenant’s unit in the City of Alhambra
