PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE 
From: The City of Sierra Madre 
Subject: ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS ORDINANCE 1395 
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 adoption of Ordinance 1395 amending Title 15 - Building and Construction, adding Chapter 15.62 
establishing procedures for an expedited permitting process for an “Electric Vehicle Charging Station.” The purpose of the 
amendment is to comply with AB 1236 which requires local jurisdictions with a population less than 200,000 residents to 
adopt an ordinance to create an expedited, streamline permitting process for electric vehicle charging stations. An electric 
vehicle charging station is any level of electric vehicle supply equipment station which delivers electricity from a source 
outside an electric vehicle into a plug-in electric vehicle. The City Council will also consider Resolution 18-03 adopting a 
plan check fee for expedited permitting of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station.

City Council meeting City Council Chambers 
Tuesday January 9, 2018 232 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. 
(Hearing begins at 6:30 p.m.) Sierra Madre, CA 
All interested persons may attend this meeting and the City Council will hear them with respect thereto. 
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The adoption of this Ordinance will not have a significant effect on the 
environment. This Ordinance is therefore exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to 
Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations. City Council further finds that in accordance with CEQA 
Guidelines section 15268, 15308, and 15378, the adoption of this amendment to the Municipal Code is exempt from CEQA 
provisions because such actions are administrative in nature. 
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.
