SPECIAL ELECTION DATE SET FOR REFERENDUM: 
NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE 
On Tuesday, the Sierra Madre City Council set a date for a Special Election on the Referendum to overturn Ordinance 1461 which ap-
proved the Meadows at Bailey Canyon Project on N. Sunnyside. After the defeat of Measure HR in November which also attempted to 
stop the project, signatures were gathered and certified to place a referendum on the Ballot to overturn the Ordinance. The developer 
has submitted another project that would be larger and protected under SB 330 as an alternative that neither the council nor opponents 
of the original project want. If a referendum was passed by the voters, it would not stop the larger project from proceeding. (See 
Mountain Views News: http://mtnviewsnews.com/v17/htm/n01/index.htm ) 
The council tabled the matter on January 10th and City Manager Jose Reynoso began negotiations with a ‘working committee’ of 
representatives of the proponents of the referendum to see if a compromise could be reached and the referendum withdrawn. At 
Tuesday’s council meeting Reynoso reported that no agreement had been reached to withdraw the referendum, noting that only 5 of 
8 demands requested had been agreed upon by the Developer and the working committee. The ‘committee’ requested more time to 
‘vet’ SB330. The Developer, New Urban West who is willing to move forward with the original project that includes benefits for the 
city that the larger project does not. 
The council, after discussing the risks and wisdom of extending more time , unanimously agreed to move forward and set a Special 
Election for May 9, 2023. It is estimated that the special election will cost the city approximately 325, 000 - $400,000. Reynoso dis-
closed that the developer is willing to help defray some of that cost. 
However, negotiations will continue in the hopes that an agreement can be reached prior to February 10, 2023, the date that the devel-
opers will pull the original project and proceed with the larger, less desirable S330 project.
