Buyers have accepted higher interest rates as 
the new standard and the supply of available 
homes is insufficient to meet the demand of 
buyers. This is a moment that calls for action! 
Instead of getting sidetracked by uncertainties, 
pay attention to the actual developments in our 
local market, stay committed to your objectives,

CITY COUNCIL TO REVIEW 
BUDGET - STONEHOUSE 
DEVELOPMENT


On Tuesday, the Sierra 
Madre City Council will 
review for approval the 
city's proposed 2023-
2024 Budget for the new 
fiscal year that will begin 
on July 1, 2023. 

In addition, the Stonehouse 
Development, 
another controversial 
development in Sierra 
Madre will be on the 
agenda. 

A brief analysis of the 
current status of the 
project is as follows:

(From Staff Report):

On March 23, 2010, CS 
Stonehouse LLC, CS 
One Carter LLC, and 
the City of Sierra Madre 
entered into a settlement 
agreement with respect 
to various disputes between 
the parties arising 
out of the development 
applications for One 
Carter (Stonegate) and

Stonehouse. Ginkgo 
Stonehouse, LLC is the 
successor in interest to 
CS Stonehouse LLC. It 
is the owner of certain 
real property identified 
as 935 East Grand View 
Avenue". 

The city and the property 
owners entered into a 
settlment agreement that 
has had 12 previous extensions 
which is due to 
expire on June 30, 2023. 
At Tuesday's meeting 
will include a request 
for an extension until 
June 20, 2025 to allow 
Ginkgo Stonehouse, 
LLC additional time to 
submit a complete development 
application for 
the Stonehouse Properties..
In addition to the 
extension of time, parties 
have agreed that the 
property is to be held as 
one parcel and not to be 
sold separately. Further, 
the selection of the consultant 
to perform the 
Environmental Impact 
Report is to be discussed 
on Tuesday.

Earlier this week, the driver of a passenger vehicle cut in front of a PUSD School 
Bus requiring the driver to quickly move the bus and the precious cargo inside out 
of harms way. The bus landed on the sidewalk, however the six children inside were 
unharmed. Sierra Madre Police and Fire were on scene within minutes. No information 
on the vehicle that caused the incident or the driver of that vehicle was available 
at press time.
