State of California

On April 23, 2019, the City Council introduced for first reading and conducted a public hearing 
to consider adoption of Ordinance 1412. The City of Sierra Madre gives notice, pursuant to State

Madre Blvd. All interested persons may attend this meeting and the City Council will hear them 
with respect thereto.

Ordinance 1412 amends various sections of the SMMC with the intent to achieve consistency 
and clarity included within Title 10 “Vehicles and Traffic” and Title 17 “Zoning.” The Municipal 
Code Text Amendments accomplish the following: Adding “utility trailers” to the definition 
of recreational vehicle; to achieve consistency in notification procedures for ministerial and 
discretionary applications specific to mailed and posted notices; to utilize the Department of Parks 
and Recreation (DPR Series 523) Forms to determine historic eligibility for structures 75 years of 
age and older and requiring architectural historians preparing such reports to be certified by the 
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, and establishing driveway width standards in the R -1 (One-
Family Residential) and R-2 (Two-family residential) zoning districts to be not less than 10 feet 
in width.

This summary is published pursuant to Government Code Section 36933(c)(1) and a full and 
complete certified copy of the text of Ordinance 1412 is available at the Sierra Madre City 
Manager’s Office located at City of Sierra Madre City Hall, 232 W. Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra 
Madre, CA. 

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The adoption of this ordinance 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.
