City of Sierra Madre
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
To: Citywide
From: The City of Sierra Madre
Subject: PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL CANYON ZONE ORDINANCE
Applicant: City of Sierra Madre
Project Location: Properties within the proposed Residential Canyon Zone of
the City of Sierra Madre, County of Los Angeles, State of California
The City of Sierra Madre gives notice, pursuant to State of California law, that the
Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a text amendment
to the City’s Zoning Code (Title 17), and corresponding Zone Change and
General Plan Amendment for the proposed Residential Canyon (RC) Zone. The
difficulties inherent in applying citywide R-1 Zoning standards to the Canyon
area of Sierra Madre prompts the need to adopt zoning standards that allow
reasonable development of properties located therein while preserving the unique
character and natural environment of this area, as well as preserving the overall
quality of life for its residents. The purpose of the new Ordinance is to 1) facilitate
residential canyon preservation through single-family development standards
as set forth in this chapter; 2) maintain the environmental equilibrium unique
to the residential canyon consistent with the aesthetic of its rustic and historic
character; and 3) establish dwelling size, lot coverage, building massing, and floor
area ratios which are consistent with the smaller homes and lots in the canyon
area. Adoption of the Ordinance includes amendments to the City’s Zoning Map,
Land Use Map and amendment to Title 17 (Zoning Code) of the City of Sierra
Madre Municipal Code.
DATE AND TIME OF HEARING PLACE OF HEARING
City of Sierra Madre City of Sierra Madre
Planning Commission meeting City Council Chambers
Thursday, August 19, 2010 232 W. Sierra Madre Blvd.
(Hearing begins at 7:00 p.m.) Sierra Madre, CA
All interested persons may attend this meeting and the Planning Commission will
hear them with respect thereto.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The project qualifies for a Negative
Declaration pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA).
APPEAL: The decision of the Planning Commission, in the case of a denial of a
proposed amendment, is subject to a 10-business-day appeal period to the City
Council. If in the future anyone wishes to challenge the decision of the Planning
Commission in court, one may be limited to raising the issues that were raised or
presented in written correspondence delivered to the Planning Commission at,
or before, the scheduled public hearing. For further information on this subject,
please contact the Development Services Department at (626) 355-7138.

SCARY
DREAMS
Last night I dreamed
another variation of
the same nightmare
that has plagued
me since my early
years of childhood –
being unprepared for
school. The settings
and characters have
changed since those
days, but the general
theme of being caught
unawares continues.
Last night’s dream found me in college and
started with the sickening realization that, not
only was my algebra final about to take place (as
you can imagine, math is not my strong suit), but
I had not completed any of the homework, which
was usually my primary means of passing left-
brain classes. Furthermore, I had never attended a
single session. I had no idea where the classroom
even was!
Haven’t I already finished college? I asked myself.
I already have my degree, so I must have. Even in
my dream state I was aware of these realities.
Maybe I forgot to take this class and now I’m
being made to go back and make it up. That must
be it.
I spun around to view the myriad of buildings
and could not find any that looked particularly
familiar. In reality, my subconscious’ rendition of
my college is nothing like the real place, but, as
dreamers do, I knew it was meant to be.
Time was slipping away and I knew I had
better at least locate my class. There were many
people strolling around the grounds, but I was too
embarrassed to ask any of them where the math
department was. Desperately, I ran up the stairs
of the closest building and opened the door to a
room that felt like the sort of place where people
would learn about algebra.
It was the right room, but the test was nearly over
and my teacher, who I’d never met, was glaring at
me over a stack of finished exams. I blubbered
some excuse about bad traffic and sat down
with a fresh test covered with incomprehensible
symbols and graphs. I reached into my backpack
for a pencil, only to discover with horror that my
underwear and pants were stuffed inside. Trying
to be a discrete as possible, I looked down and
realized I had neglected to put them on before
arriving at school.
Why didn’t someone stop me? I thought to
myself. There were plenty of people walking
around outside. Why would I put my clothes in
my backpack? I never do that.
At this point, algebra had lost some of its sting
and my primary concern was finding a way to
dress myself without drawing the attention of my
malevolent teacher and the few remaining test
takers. As I contemplated how I might accomplish
this, my subconscious mercifully spit me back to
reality, and I woke up.
I stared with wide eyes into the 3 a.m. darkness
and tried to relax my rigid limbs. I reminded
myself that, other than balancing my checkbook,
math is a thing of the past, a foe long ago defeated.
I have finished higher education and will not have
to darken the door of a classroom again unless
I want to. Despite these assurances, I remained
shaken for several minutes.
From film, literature, and conversations
with others, I have come to believe that people
everywhere experience dreams such as these. It
seems that going to school universally instills fear
in children that they will be lost on campus or
caught with their clothes missing. This led me to
wonder whether people who have never attended
school have these dreams as well. Assuming
school-based nightmares result from fear of
failure, which is something inherent in the human
experience, it leads to the question of what people
used to dream about before school existed.
Perhaps in nomadic communities people
dream that when they go out to milk their goats
all the udders are shaped like pinecones, or are
just missing altogether. Maybe pre-academic man
dreamt that when he tried to hunt a mastodon the
spear bounced off like a rubber gumby toy or went
spinning away like a boomerang.
Considering that fears of discovering oneself
naked pervade these dreams, one wonders what
nightmares people who live in cultures that do
not use clothes have. Do those people dream that
they suddenly find themselves running around
the jungle in constricting woolen leotards? Do
they peer around for a tree to hide behind where
their fingers can race over their encased bodies
in search of some fastener that will undo their
stifling clothing?
I don’t know, nor does anyone with whom I’ve
discussed the matter. Perhaps I will dream about
it tonight. All I know is that I’m glad I’m done
with algebra!
