This\nis a City-initiated application. From time-to-time updates are made to the Alhambra\nMunicipal Code (AMC) to address new State legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or\ndelete outdated language. While some of these changes require immediate consideration\nby the Council, most can be addressed periodically. Accordingly, staff brings a code clean-\nup ordinance to the Council on an annual basis to address modifications needed due to\nnew legislation, as well as other suggested clarifying changes. Clean-ups to the Zoning\nCode are processed separately from clean-ups to the rest of the AMC as Planning\nCommission review is required for Zoning and General Plan Amendments. Similar to prior\nclean-ups, this update will address new State legislation, eliminate inconsistencies, and\ncreate greater clarity in implementing the Zoning Code. This Zoning Code clean-up\nincludes both proposed amendments and additions. Amendments consist of revisions to\nexisting sections of the AMC, while additions incorporate entirely new sections into the\nAMC. The nature of and reasoning for each proposed amendment and addition can be\nclassified by five (5) general categories: 1.) Clarification; 2.) Consistency; 3.) Compliance\nwith State laws/Federal laws; 4.) Typographical & Formatting; and 5.) Use Allowances &\nRegulations. Some of the proposed amendments and additions are a combination of these\nfive categories. In Attachment 1 of the staff report for this item, each proposed\namendment/addition is briefly described in a table, which includes a breakdown of the\ncategories applicable to each amendment/addition. All of the proposed amendments and\nadditions have been reviewed for consistency with the City’s General Plan, as required by\nAMC Section 23.40.080 (General Plan Consistency Required for Zoning Amendments).\nAt their April 6, 2026 regular meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed\namendments and additions in Ordinance No. O2M26-4863, and adopted Planning\nCommission Resolution No. 26-02 by a vote of 7-0, recommending the City Council\napprove Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-04, with one minor revision to verbiage for\ntandem parking standards (incorporated at the recommendation of staff) and a request to\nverify accuracy of language included in two sections pertaining to Urban Dwelling Units\n(SB 9 Units). The recommendations by the Planning Commission are listed in Planning\nCommission Resolution No. 26-02, which is Attachment 3 of the staff report for this item,\nand appropriate revisions have been incorporated into Ordinance No. O2M26-4863.\nThe City reviewed the environmental impacts of this Ordinance under the California\nEnvironmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the\nregulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA\nGuidelines”). This Ordinance is not subject to further review environmental review\nbecause: (1) it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change\nin the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there is no possibility that this\nOrdinance will have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. §\n15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, by itself, does not constitute a “project” as defined in\nsection 21065 of the Public Resources Code and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code\nRegs. § 15378). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance\nmay have a significant effect on the environment.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council:\n1.\nConduct a public hearing to receive public testimony;\n2.\nDirect the City Attorney to introduce and give first reading by title only, waiving\nfurther reading to the following ordinance entitled:\nOrdinance No. O2M26-4863: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Alhambra\nadopting Zoning Text Amendment AMD-26-04, amending the Alhambra Municipal\nCode to address new state laws, eliminate inconsistencies, clarify ambiguous\nprovisions, correct typographical and formatting errors, and modify use allowances\nwhich ordinance shall return for a second reading and adoption at the next City\nCouncil meeting on June 22, 2026;\n3.\nDetermine this action is exempt from CEQA.

20.\nCONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 3.12.180 (TWO YEAR\nBUDGETS) AND AMENDING SECTIONS 2.24.020(C), 2.28.020(C), 2.32.030(A),\n2.34.020(C), 9.12.030 AND 19.01.010(SEC. 102)(G) OF THE ALHAMBRA MUNICIPAL\nCODE PERTAINING TO THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING\nCOMMISSION, PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION, LIBRARY BOARD AND\nTRANSPORTATION COMMISSION AS WELL AS DAYTIME LOITERING AND THE\nSALE OF SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS – F2M26-16, O2M26-4862\nThe Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”) is a comprehensive gathering of ordinances\nadopted by the City Council covering a wide range of topics. From time-to-time updates\nare made to the AMC to address new state legislation, clarify ambiguous provisions, or\ndelete outdated language. While some of these changes require immediate consideration\nby the Council, most can be addressed periodically. For this annual review, City staff is\nsuggesting minor changes to the AMC to reflect current practices and clarify confusing\nparts of the AMC. First, City staff identified the proposed addition of Section 3.12.180 (Two\nYear Budget) which would allow for the preparation of two-year budgets, which has been\nstaff’s and the Council’s recent practice and preference to better stabilize the City’s\nfinances. Staff also identified proposed amendments to Sections 2.24.020, 2.28.020,\n2.32.030, 2.34.020 (Qualifications – Parks & Recreation Commission, Board of Library\nTrustees and Transportation Commission) which would further clarify the residency\nrequirements for members of those Boards/Commissions. Furthermore, staff is proposing\namendments to Section 9.12.030 (Loitering; Daytime) which would change the truancy\nhours from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily to instead refer to “school hours,” given the\nvariation in school hours on a daily basis, and by school. A minor stopped for a potential\nviolation would only be cited if the particular school they attend was in session at that time\nand the minor was not excused from attendance. Finally, staff is proposing an amendment\nto Section 19.01.010 (Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks) to address an inconsistency\nbetween the fee amount currently stated in the City’s adopted ordinance as it pertains to\nthe sales of Safe and Sane fireworks and the City’s adopted Master Fee Schedule. To\nensure accuracy and flexibility moving forward, the proposed ordinance would remove the\nspecific fee amount and instead direct the public to the City’s current fee schedule, as\nadopted and periodically updated by resolution of the City Council.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council declare introduced for its first reading the\nfollowing ordinance entitled:\nOrdinance No. O2M26-4862: An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of\nAlhambra, California, adding Section 3.12.180 (Two Year Budgets) and\namending Sections 2.24.020(C), 2.28.020(C), 2.32.030(A), 2.34.020(C),\n9.12.030 and 19.01.010(Sec. 102)(G) of the Alhambra Municipal Code\npertaining to the qualifications for members of the Planning Commission, Parks\n& Recreation Commission, Library Board and Transportation Commission as\nwell as Daytime Loitering and the Sale of Safe and Sane Fireworks\nwhich ordinance will return for a second reading and adoption at the next regular Council\nmeeting.

5.\nAMENDED BUDGET REVIEW AND RESOLUTION ADOPTING FY 2026-27 BUDGET\nADJUSTMENTS – F2M25-17, R2M26-12\nOn June 23, 2025, the City Council adopted the Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27\nBudget. On February 23, 2026, the Mid-Year Budget Review was presented, and the City\nCouncil approved the recommended budget adjustments for Fiscal Year 2025-26. Since\nthen, staff has continued to monitor revenues and expenditures and is now presenting the\nAmended Budget Review to update the City’s financial projections and appropriations for\nFiscal Year 2026-27. Fiscal Year 2025-26 ended with an unappropriated surplus of\n$2,007,354, primarily attributable to higher-than-anticipated revenues. These increases\nwere driven by stronger-than-projected property tax receipts resulting from rising\nassessed values, CPI adjustments, and property reassessments, as well as growth in\nservice charges, grant reimbursements, and interest earnings. These gains were partially\noffset by declines in sales tax revenues and transfers supporting capital improvement\nprojects. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, staff presents an Amended General Fund Budget\nreflecting a projected deficit of $1,482,209. When combined with the Fiscal Year 2025-26\nsurplus, the overall unappropriated surplus is $525,145. Historically, such surpluses have\nbeen allocated to priority needs, including reserve contributions, capital repair and\nreplacement, pension and retirement obligations, and the acquisition of essential\nequipment. Appropriations to these efforts are made through City Council-approved\nbudget adjustments.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council receive and file the Amended Budget Review\nfor Fiscal Year 2026-27 and related reports; and, adopt Resolution No. R2M26-12\nentitled: A Resolution of the Alhambra City Council adopting Fiscal Years 2025-26 and\n2026-27 Budget adjustments of the City of Alhambra, Golf Course Clubhouse Corporation,\nAlhambra Capital Improvements Corporation, Alhambra Parking Authority, Alhambra\nFacilities Financing Authority and the Alhambra Public Financing Authority approving the\nFiscal Year 2026-27 budget adjustments.

Per CJPIA, the effort is focused on protecting public\nresources while ensuring fair compensation for people injured by local government\nnegligence.\nRecommended Action:\nCity Council approve the letter of support for the Coalition to\nProtect Community Services as outlined in the May 11, 2026 staff report by the Director\nof Human Resources and Risk Management; and, direct staff to undertake the steps\nnecessary to finalize the City Council’s action.
