6. PRESENTATION REGARDING THE CITY OF ALHAMBRA’S DRAFT HOTEL MARKET\nAND FEASIBILITY STUDY – F2M26-25\nThe City of Alhambra commissioned HVS to conduct a hotel market and feasibility analysis\nto evaluate the City’s ability to attract a new hotel that would serve both residents and\nvisitors. HVS inspected the market area and multiple potential sites and analyzed the hotel\nmarket conditions in Alhambra and the surrounding areas. From a demand perspective,\nHVS found that the most likely profile for new hotel development in Alhambra will be an\nupper-midscale (such as Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, and Best Western Plus) or upscale\nlimited-service hotel (such as DoubleTree, Wyndham, and Hilton Garden Inn), given the\ngap in current supply and the potential market clientele’s ideal price points. Key\nconsiderations for hotel development include ease of access, proximity to major freeways,\nand adjacency to established commercial corridors. However, from a financial perspective,\nbased on HVS analysis of a potential upper-midscale hotel, a new hotel is not financially\nfeasible under current assumptions where development costs (land acquisition,\npermitting, and construction) are projected to be higher than hotel revenue. Feasibility can\nbe achieved with an incentivized structure, such as reduced land cost or other forms of\nmonetary support. The feasibility gap can also be mitigated if complementary uses, such\nas retail or residential, are developed alongside the hotel and are able to share\ninfrastructure and development costs. Because current market conditions do not make a\nhotel developer feasible, this effort will be reprioritized until market conditions change.\nStaff will continue to monitor market conditions and re-engage with the hotel development\ncommunity should anything change.\nRecommended Action: City Council receive and file this report.

7. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A POLICY TO IMPLEMENT NEW\nBROWN ACT AMENDMENTS REGARDING MEETING DISRUPTION PROCEDURES\nPURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 707 – F2M26-24, R2M26-9\nOn October 3, 2025, Governor Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 707 (SB 707), which\namends the Brown Act with the intent to diversify and increase public engagement during\nlocal government meetings of legislative bodies, such as the City Council. Among the\nvarious new requirements under SB 707, all qualified legislative bodies must now offer\nhybrid meetings (through a two-way phone or video platform). The City has already been\nproviding hybrid meetings via Zoom since 2020. In addition, SB 707 requires the City to\nformally adopt a policy that outlines how to restore any hybrid meeting broadcast\ndisruptions that prevent the public from virtually attending and participating in a meeting\non or before July 1, 2026. Staff prepared a resolution to satisfy this new State requirement.\nThe Disruption of Telephonic or Internet Service Policy mirrors the meeting disruption\nguidelines that are already outlined in SB 707, which requires the legislative body to take\na recess and try to restore service for at least one hour. If service cannot be restored within\none hour, the legislative body must conduct a roll call vote confirming that good faith efforts\nwere made and the public interest in continuing the meeting outweighs remote access.\n(Cal. Gov. Code §54953.4(b)(1).) The proposed Resolution outlines the actions that will\ntake place if disruptions were to occur. If adopted, the requirements will go into effect\nimmediately. Staff recommends adopting the proposed resolution to reflect the recent\nlegislative changes under SB 707.\nRecommended Action: City Council adopt Resolution No. R2M26-9 entitled: A\nResolution of the Alhambra City Council adopting a Disruption of Telephonic or Internet\nService Policy pursuant to Government Code Section 54953.4

8. LETTER OF CONCERN REGARDING MICROENTERPRISE HOME KITCHEN\nOPERATION (“CLUB COWBOY CHEDDAR”) – F2M26-7, M2M26-62\nOn April 13, 2026, the City Council directed staff to prepare a letter of concern to be\ntransmitted to Supervisor Hilda Solis and the Los Angeles County Department of Public\nHealth regarding a reported Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation (MEHKO) operating\nunder the name “Club Cowboy Cheddar,” located at 3333 Balzac Street. During the City\nCouncil General Public Comment period on April 13, 2026, several residents from the\nsurrounding neighborhood appeared before the Council to express concerns regarding\nthe reported operation. The City’s objective is to support safe and livable residential\nneighborhoods. Based on the concerns raised by residents, the reported activity is\nimpacting quality of life in Alhambra and may not be consistent with applicable MEHKO\nprogram requirements. Accordingly, the purpose of the letter is to request the Los Angeles\nCounty Department of Public Health conduct a thorough investigation into the reported\noperation, including verification or denial of permit, compliance with MEHKO\nrequirements, and address any other applicable violations.\nRecommended Action: City Council approve the letter as outlined in the April 27,\n2026 staff report by the Assistant City Manager and Management Analyst and direct staff\nto send the letter to Supervisor Hilda Solis and the Los Angeles County Department of\nPublic Health.
