ORDINANCE NO. 1350 


AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIERRA MADRE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AT 611 E. SIERRA MADRE BOULEVARD 
FROM R-1-15 TO CIV, AND REVISE THE ZONING MAP ACCORDINGLY, AND AMEND CHAPTER 17.18 OF TITLE 17 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE.

WHEREAS, the current zoning for the City-owned property at 611 E. Sierra Madre Boulevard (Assessor Parcel Number 5766-005-903) thus R-1-15, is inconsistent with 

the current civic uses on the property; 

WHEREAS, the current R-1-15 zoning allows development of single-family dwellings, and the CIV zone allows civic uses which are consistent with the current uses on 

the property; 

WHEREAS, the General Plan designates the land for the property as “Municipal Government”, which allows for public institutional, civic and governmental agency and 
service uses; the rezoning of the property to CIV would make the zoning and land use designation consistent with each other and implement the General Plan; WHEREAS, 
the rezoning of this property includes a code text amendment (MCTA 13-04) to amend Chapter 17.18 of Title 17 of the Municipal Code, to add park, public sports and 
wireless communication facilities as permitted uses in the CIV zone, so as to make the existing park space, ball fields and wireless communication facilities as permissible 

uses, pursuant to the Ordinance attached as Exhibit A. 

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning and the Municipal Code Text Amendment at the meeting of November 21, 2013; 

WHEREAS, it was determined that the rezoning and the code text amendment qualify for a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Exemption pursuant to 
Section 15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) of CEQA, as the there is no possibility that the rezoning and the code text amendment will have a significant impact on the 

environment; 

WHEREAS, notice was duly given of the public hearing on the matter, which public hearing was held before the City Council on January 14, 2014, with all testimony 
being received being made part of the public record;

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal rep

hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative 
appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) 
of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form 
DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice
