important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give 
notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the 
proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless

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.

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

the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account 
as provided in Probate Code section 1250. ARequest for Special Notice form is

City of Sierra Madre

ORDINANCE NO. 1348

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIERRA MADRE AMENDING 
MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 17.22 SECOND UNITS. 

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIERRA MADRE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:

WHEREAS, on June 11, 2013, the City Council adopted the 2008-2014 Housing Element; 

WHEREAS, a housing program objective of the 2008-2014 Housing Element is to amend the City’s second unit ordinance (Chapter 17.22 of 
the Municipal Code) in 2013 to better facilitate the provision of second units for seniors, caregivers, and other lower and extremely low income 
households; 

WHEREAS, it was identified that some of the current provisions were considered constraints which prevented homeowners to apply for a 
second unit. Such constraints were the affordable rent and income restrictions, second units limited to only the R-1 zoned areas, limitation on 
unit size, and one-story height limit, which prohibited second units to be located above a garage or on the second story; WHEREAS, second 
units offer a benefit to homeowners by receiving a supplementary income by renting out their second units, which can help many modest income 
and elderly homeowners afford to remain in their homes; 

WHEREAS, second units can offer an important opportunity to help Sierra Madre address its regional housing needs while maintaining the 
community’s small town character; 

WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared for the 2008-2014 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 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 June 11, 2013; and 

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on September 5, 2013, and thereafter recommended that the 
City Council approve this Ordinance; and 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Sierra Madre as follows: 

SECTION 1: Municipal Code Amendment. Chapter 17.22, entitled “Second Units”, is hereby replaced with Chapter 17.22 as provided herein 
as Exhibit “A”. 

SECTION 2. California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council has considered all of the evidence in the record, including the staff 
reports, the testimony received during the public hearing on the matter held by the Planning Commission and City Council, and hereby 
determines that the Initial Study prepared for the 2008-2014 Housing Element in accordance with the City’s guidelines implementing the 
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the housing program objectives identified 
in the Housing Element to fulfill the City’s RHNA allocation may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the City Council 
concludes that the amendments to Chapter 17.22 will not have a significant effect on the environment. 

SECTION 3. Severability; Continuation of Provisions. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this 
Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability 
of the remaining sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Ordinance or the rules adopted hereby. 
The City Council of the City of Sierra Madre hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, 
sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more other remaining sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, 
sentences, clauses or phrases hereof be declared invalid or unenforceable. To the extent the provisions of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code 
as amended by this Ordinance are substantially the same as the provisions of that Code as they read immediately prior to the adoption of this 
Ordinance, then those provisions shall be construed as continuations of the earlier provisions and not as new enactments. 

SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect thirty days after its passage and adoption pursuant to California Government 
Code section 36937. 

SECTION 5. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted 
in the manner prescribed by law. 

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of December, 2013.
