PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

From: The City of Sierra Madre

Subject: MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 16-02 (MCTA 16-02) 

Applicant: City of Sierra Madre

Project Location: Properties in 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 recommending adoption of an ordinance amending Chapter 17.28 (“R-3 
Multiple Family Residential Zone”) including Sections 17.28.060 (“Density”). The purpose of MCTA is to 
allow densities of approximately thirteen (13) units per acre and establish a maximum allowable floor area. 
The proposed ordinance is amended to read as follows:

Floor Area Ratio (gross dwelling/lot area).

1. On lots with a gross lot area of less than 10,000 square feet or street frontage of less than 50 feet, the 
floor area of all above-ground buildings and structures (including garages and other non-habitable areas, 
but excluding basements and other fully subterranean areas) shall be limited to 55% of the gross lot area.;

2. On lots with a gross lot area of 10,000 square feet or greater and with a street frontage of 50 feet or 
greater, the floor area of all above-ground building and structures (including garages and other non-
habitable areas, but excluding basements and other fully subterranean areas) shall be 5,500 square feet 
plus 70 percent of gross lot area in excess of 10,000 square feet.

Following a Planning Commission recommendation for approval, the proposed text amendment will be 
forwarded to the City Council for consideration. 

DATE AND TIME OF HEARING PLACE OF HEARING

City of Sierra Madre City of Sierra Madre

Planning Commission meeting City Council Chambers

Thursday, June 2, 2016 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 an exemption from the California 
Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of 
Regulations as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the adoption of this Ordinance may 
have a significant effect on the environment, because it will impose greater limitations on development in the 
City thereby serving to reduce potential significant adverse environmental impacts. 

APPEAL: The decision of the Planning Commission is subject to a 10-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.
