PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

From: The City of Sierra Madre

Subject: MUNICIPAL CODE TEXT AMENDMENT 16-06 (MCTA 16-06) – GROUP LIVING FACILITIES 

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 City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider recommending adoption 
of Ordinance 1385 amending Chapter 17.08 (“Definitions”) Section 17.08.020 (“Words, terms, phrases defined”), Chapter 17.60 Section 17.60.030 ("Conditional Use 
Permits–When Required"), and a new Chapter 17.94 (“Group Living Facilities Subject to a Conditional Use Permit”). The Planning Commission recommended approval 
of the proposed text amendment to the City Council at a public meeting held on January 5, 2017. The amendments would afford the City the ability to better regulate 
unlicensed and licensed group living facilities serving more than seven (7) residents by imposing operational and distance requirements through a conditional use permit 
to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods and to provide some protection to a vulnerable population in the absence of State or Federal licensing or other 
regulatory oversight. The conditional use requirements will establish a framework for the inclusion of housing and care facilities for people with disabilities in the City.

DATE AND TIME OF HEARING PLACE OF HEARING

City of Sierra Madre City of Sierra Madre

City Council Meeting City Council Chambers

Tuesday, January 24, 2017 232 W. Sierra Madre Blvd.

(Hearing begins at 6:30 PM) Sierra Madre, CA 

All interested persons may attend this meeting and the Planning Commission will hear them with respect thereto.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: An Initial Study was prepared for the 2014-2021 Housing Element in accordance with the City’s guidelines implementing 
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the measures identified in the Housing 
Element to fulfill the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the Initial Study, 
the Planning Commission and City Council concluded that they will not have a significant effect on the environment, and a Negative Declaration was adopted by City 
Council on July 28, 2013. Furthermore, the project qualifies for an exemption form the CEQA 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 regulations and standards for unlicensed and licensed group living facilities serving seven (7) or more residents to ensure protection of the residential 
environment and character of the City of Sierra Madre.

APPEAL: If in the future anyone wishes to challenge the decision of the City Council in court, one may be limited to raising the issues that were raised or presented in 
written correspondence delivered to the City Council at, or before, the scheduled public hearing. For further information on this subject, please contact the Planning and 
Community Preservation Department at (626) 355-7138.
