The City of Alhambra reached significant milestones in approving and adopting the 2040 General Plan in 2019 and the Comprehensive Zoning Code in 2024. RRM Design Group was a significant contributor to both of these efforts and was recently selected to develop objective design standards. Currently, the City seeks greater consistency and compatibility in urban design throughout the City. RRM will work with the City to refine and tailor the approach to design standards and guidelines to ensure an attractive and aesthetically pleasing city environment and foster unique neighborhood identities. The current work effort entails four deliverables: (1) review and update the existing citywide objective design standards in Alhambra Municipal Code (“AMC”), (2) Develop specific objective design standards for two distinct commercial/business zones, (3) Review and update the City’s existing single-family residential design guidelines, and (4) Develop design guidelines for commercial, mixed-use, and multi-family residential projects.
