RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING NEW FEES FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION
APPLICATIONS – F2M20-51, R2M25-42
At the October 13, 2025 City Council meeting, Historic Preservation Application fees were
discussed and continued. The Council requested additional information regarding
surrounding cities’ fees and details about the fee study that was conducted. The Council
also asked staff to look into additional grant funding opportunities as well. Lastly, the
Council had a brief discussion about Certificates of Economic Hardship that merited a
follow up on the topic. Staff reached out to adjacent cities with Historic Preservation
programs and inquired about their processes and fees. Information was obtained through
reviewing municipal codes and fee schedules and then verifying by speaking with
respective staff. While each city had slightly different processes and applications,
tremendous effort was made to try to accurately show what other cities were doing in
comparison to Alhambra’s proposed fees. Staff will present information regarding the
results of the survey as well as on the topics Council requested additional information on
at the October 13, 2025 meeting.
Recommended Action:
City Council adopt Resolution No. R2M25-42 entitled: A
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Alhambra, California, establishing new fees
for Historic Preservation Applications to establish new fees for applications required under
the Historic Preservation Ordinance, or direct staff as deemed appropriate in providing
further direction on establishing new fees for Historic Preservation applications. |
