The City of Sierra Madre gives notice that the previously scheduled City Council Special Meeting of May 26, 2026,
has been cancelled and rescheduled for the date, time and place listed below. As a reminder, the City Council will

(Objective Design Standards) to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code and amending various 
sections therein applicable to multifamily residential and mixed-use developments. 
The purpose of the amendment is to adopt the City of Sierra Madre Objective Design Standards. Several state 
housing laws, including SB 167, SB 423, SB 330, SB 4, and AB 2011, strongly incentivize cities to develop 
objective design standards for multifamily residential uses and mixed (residential and commercial) uses. Byadopting Objective Design Standards, the City of Sierra Madre maintains the ability to impose design standards 
on multifamily residential and mixed-use developments. These Objective Design Standards are intended to 
streamline the approval process for housing units while maintaining good design.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should 
understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the 
property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear 
ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you 
are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being 
auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, 
priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office 
or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of 
these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on 
the property. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. 
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more 
times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. 
The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, 
as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, 
and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (949) 776-4697 or 
visit this Internet Website https://prestigepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-16503. 
Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled 
sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to 
verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. 
NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to 
Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if 
you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to 
purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to 
exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (949) 776-4697, or 
visit this internet website https://prestigepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 25-16503 
to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of 
the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more 
than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 
days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you 
should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding 
this potential right to purchase.

All interested persons may attend this meeting and the Planning Commission or City Council will hear them with respect 
thereto. 
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The Project consists of policy-level updates to the City’s General Plan that do 
not authorize or result in direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes to the environment and are intended to 
strengthen environmental protection. The updates function as a planning framework to guide future decision-making and 
do not approve or commit the City to any specific development, construction activity, or other physical alteration of the 
environment. Any future actions implementing the policies contained in the updated Elements would be subject to separate 
discretionary review and environmental analysis under CEQA. Based on the foregoing, and in light of the whole record, it can 
be seen with certainty that the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Accordingly, the Project is exempt 
from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption set forth in State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3). In addition, the 
Project qualifies for the Class 8 categorical exemption under State CEQA Guidelines §15308 because it constitutes an action 
taken by a regulatory agency for the purpose of protecting the environment. 
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
