| 20260126 | LA County | Alhambra | City Council | Item | 6. AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE SMOKE SHOPS AND OTHER USES – F2M26-22 At the January 12, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council adopted an ordinance prohibiting the sale and distribution of nitrous oxide and directed staff to return with information related to regulating smoke shops and other uses. Smoke shops fall within the “General Retail” use category, which is permitted by-right in the CBD (Central Business District), CMU (Commercial Mixed-Use), EMC (East Main Corridor), PO (Professional Office), and I (Industrial) zones, as well as certain Specific Plans. There are six existing and proposed smoke shop locations in the City. The plan moving forward will be to amend Chapter 5.90 (Tobacco Retail License) of the Alhambra Municipal Code to establish additional operation requirements for smoke shops that will become effective immediately following adoption of the amendment. New proposed operational standards would limit smoke shops hours of operation from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and limit the area of sales for tobacco paraphernalia and smoke products to no more than 5% of gross floor area of the store. Additionally, an amendment will be made to the Zoning Code requiring all existing and new smoke shops to obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Recommended Action: City Council direct staff to amend the Municipal Code to regulate smoke shops. CONSENT AGENDA (Item Nos. 7 – 22): (TIME LIMITATIONS: 5 MINUTES PER SPEAKER FOR ONE ITEM, 10 MINUTES PER SPEAKER FOR 2+ ITEMS) All items listed under the Consent Agenda are considered by the City Council to be routine and will be enacted by one motion unless a citizen or Council member requests otherwise; in which case, the item will be removed for separate consideration. | January 26, 2026 LA County Alhambra City Council Item #6 |
