TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Clare Lin, Director of Planning & Community Preservation By: Katelyn Huang, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT:

Ordinance No. 1493 Amending Chapter 12.28 (House and Building Numbering) of Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 1493 amending Ordinance No. 1493 Amending Chapter 12.28 (House and Building Numbering) of Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code

SUMMARY
The City of Sierra Madre has prepared Municipal Code Text Amendment No. 26-03 to Chapter 12.28 (House and Building Numbering) to update house and building numbering regulations. The ordinance updates administrative responsibility, eliminates outdated language regarding cost of address assignments, updates homeowner requirements to mandate compliance with California Building Code standards, and includes minor technical corrections. It is therefore recommended that the City Council conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 1493, amending Chapter 12.28 (House and Building Numbering) of Title 12 (Streets, Sidewalks, and Public Places) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Chapter 12.28 of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code presently designates the Director of Public Works as the official responsible for assigning house and building numbers. Due to organizational changes and the current allocation of duties, the City Manager has assigned these functions to the Planning and Community Preservation Department.

This part of an overall effort to streamline operations within the City's organizational struture and service delivery model. The proposed ordinance therefore revises Chapter 12.28 to replace references to the “Director of Public Works” with “Director of Planning and Community Preservation,” thereby aligning the Municipal Code with existing administrative practice and clarifying departmental responsibility.

Chapter 12.28 further provides that the issuance of house and building numbers shall be provided to property owners at no cost. This provision is inconsistent with the City’s most recently adopted fee schedule, which includes fees for address and street assignments. The proposed ordinance amends the relevant provisions to remove the “free of cost” language and to specify that address assignment and related services are subject to the City’s adopted fee schedule, ensuring consistency between the Municipal Code and the City’s fee resolutions.

In addition, Chapter 5 of the California Building Code requires that each character of an approved address be a minimum of 4 inches in height with a minimum stroke width of 1/2 inch. SMMC Section 12.28.030 (Home Owner Duty) does not currently reference these standards. The proposed ordinance amends Section 12.28.030 to require that house and building numbers furnished and displayed by property owners comply with the California Building Code, as adopted and amended by the City of Sierra Madre, including the minimum character height and stroke width requirements. This amendment promotes public safety and facilitates effective emergency response by ensuring that addresses are consistently legible from the public right‑of‑way.

Finally, the ordinance includes minor, non‑substantive “clean‑up” amendments to Chapter 12.28, including corrections to grammar, punctuation, and phrasing, to improve clarity and readability without altering the substantive intent of the existing regulations.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
This item is not directly correlated to the goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
CEQA Project, exempt under: 14 CCR 15061(b)(3)- common sense exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action.

PLANNING & COMMUNITY PRESERVATION
DATE: May 12, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Clare Lin, Director of Planning & Community Preservation By: Joshua Wolf, Senior Planner
SUBJECT:

Ordinance No. 1494 Amending Section 17.08.020 (Words, Terms, Phrases Defined) of Chapter

17.08 (Definitions) and Chapter 17.22 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code and Consideration of a Resolution Regarding the Administration of Public Facilities Fees for Applicable Accessory Dwelling Units

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council conduct a public hearing to introduce Ordinance No. 1494 amending Section 17.08.020 (Words, Terms, Phrases Defined) of Chapter 17.08 (Definitions) and Chapter 17.22 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code to update the Sierra Madre Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance consistent with new state laws.

SUMMARY
The Sierra Madre Accessory Dwelling Units Ordinance governs the development and use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in Sierra Madre. These units are additional homes in areas zoned to allow residential use and provide housing options and can help address housing shortages. The ordinance needs to be updated to align with recent state laws and policies that promote the creation of more ADUs to increase affordable housing availability. Updating the ordinance will ensure that local regulations are consistent with state requirements and support community goals for housing development. On April 16, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to review Municipal Code Text Amendment (MCTA 26-01) of Sierra Madre's Accessory Dwelling Units Ordinance, as drafted by City staff, and recommended the City Council adopt an ordinance to its effect.

Public Facilities Fees may be imposed on the creation of new ADUs that meet certain conditions; however, in July 2021, the City Council believed that imposing these fees on ADUs would be cost prohibitive and discourage the creation of ADUs. Since then, state legislation enabled double the number of ADUs that may be permitted on residential property and further constrained the City's ability to regulate the location, size, and height of ADUs.

Sierra Madre is overwhelmingly a city of single-family residences which is now primed for an unprecedented growth through development of ADUs and the City Council is being asked to consider the current conditions of the City's public facilities and whether the impact of development of ADUs should be subsidized by existing public facilities or mitigated by charging the fee in accordance with state law.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Ordinance No. 1494 Amending Section 17.08.020 (Words, Terms, Phrases Defined) of Chapter 17.08 (Definitions) and Chapter 17.22 (Accessory Dwelling Units) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code
The changes to California State Law regarding ADUs and Junior ADUs was made by Assembly Bills (AB) 1154, 130, and 462 and Senate Bills (SB) 9 and 543:

AB 1154, Juan Carillo, (Increasing Parity in Junior ADU Regulation) creates a single set of statewide rules for Junior ADUs prohibiting parking standards for these small units, and removing owner‑occupancy requirements for certain Junior ADUs with independent bathrooms. It prohibits short‑term rentals of Junior ADUs, aligning Junior ADU treatment more closely with existing ADU law.

AB 130, Committee on Budget, (ADU and Junior ADU CC&Rs) prohibits fees and other financial requirements from being included in a covenant or deed restriction for an ADU or JADU.

AB 462, Josh Lowenthal, (ADU Occupancy in emergencies) allows detached ADUs to receive certificates of occupancy in certain disaster‑recovery situations even if the primary dwelling is not yet reconstructed.

SB 9, Jesse Arreguín, (Removing Local Barriers to ADUs) requires submission of an ADU or Junior ADU ordinance to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and authorizes HCD to determine that a local ADU ordinance is inconsistent with state law and to declare that ordinance void, thereby requiring the local agency to apply state default ADU standards until a compliant local ordinance is adopted. This statute strengthens state oversight of ADU implementation and creates significant risk for jurisdictions that retain restrictive or non‑conforming ADU provisions in their municipal codes. This law by itself does not require an amendment to the Sierra Madre Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance, but must be complied with if and when an amendment is adopted.

SB 543, Jerry McNerney, (ADU Clarity and Consistency) codifies key HCD guidelines by (1) giving HCD explicit oversight and enforcement authority over local JADU ordinances, (2) requiring local governments to complete initial review of ADU applications within 15 business days, and (3) clarifying size, safety, density, and impact‑fee rules for ADUs and Junior ADUs.

Sierra Madre's Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance, last amended in 2023, includes provisions that have become inconsistent with these newly enacted state laws. Additionally, this is an opportunity to address internal code conflicts, inconsistencies, and ambiguities. It is recommended that Sierra Madre's Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance be amended to accomplish the following:

Update the definitions of words, terms, and phrases related to ADUs in alignment with definitions of state law.

Limit an ADU from being created within the existing habitable area of a multifamily dwelling.

Reference objective design standards applicable to ADUs created in relationship with a multifamily dwelling.

Clarify the requirement to install fire sprinklers.

Revise floor area requirements to specify interior livable space and update the relevant terms and definitions.

Furthermore, stipulate that any floor area that is not interior livable area be governed by the underlying zone if it extends beyond the exterior walls necessary to enclose the interior livable area of an ADU.

For example, if an ADU is proposed on an R-1 zoned lot with an existing single-family dwelling and the proposed ADU includes a proposed carport or patio covered by a solid roof or a garage, the area of that carport, patio, or garage must conform with applicable development standards applicable under the zoning code, including maximum height, setbacks, and size and may be subject to discretionary approval.

Include the angle plane standard as part of the height standards applicable to ADUs per zoning standard and reogranize the height provisions based on whether the ADU is attached or detached.

Reinstate on-site parking requirements for ADUs proposed within the Hillside Management Zone.

Include a reference to general development standards for setbacks and permissible projections into setbacks.

Remove owner-occupancy requirements for Junior ADUs with an independent bathroom.

Clarify existing regulation applicable to "State-mandated ADUs" aligning with Government Code section 66323.

Provide an exemption for issuance of a certificate of occupancy for an ADU before the primary dwelling due to the primary dwelling being substantially damaged or destroed by an event referenced in a proclaimed state of emergency exemption.

Revise the application procedure to accommodate the 15-business-day requirement for determinations of application completeness and the 60-day requirement for project design compliance.

Provide an appeal process for determinations of application completeness or compliance to the Planning Commission.

Streamline permitting by consolidating the Planning approval process with the Building and Safety plan check review and building permit process.

Provide clarification that public facilities fees shall not be charged for ADUs with 750 square feet of interior livable space or less or Junior ADUs.

Update historic preservation requirements consistent with the recent amendment to the Discretionary Demolition Permit Ordinance.

A Resolution Regarding the Administration of Public Facilities Fees for Applicable Accessory Dwelling Units
The City of Sierra Madre imposes fees under Government Code Sections 66000 through 66008. These fees, known as "Public Facilities Fees", "Development Impact Fees" or "Mitigation Fees", are charged to mitigate the effects of development on the City’s public facilities. The fees were based on a Nexus Study performed by MuniFinancial Services in 2006, as determined by residential density factors for single-family (2.48 residents per dwelling unit) and multifamily (1.55 residents per dwelling unit), projected residential growth. The fees are periodically updated based on the Construction Cost Index. The City's adopted fee schedule includes the current rate for the Public Facilities Fees. The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1251 in July 2006, which sets forth the administration of the Public Facilities Fees. The fees ensure that any new development will fund the expansion or improvement of existing facilities thereby ensuring that new developments are not subsidized by existing development. Examples of valid expenses for the fees collected includes replacement furniture and fixtures for the Sierra Madre Library renovation, new or replacement public safety vehicles, recreational facilities lighting replacement, public restroom renovations, improvements to public parking facilities, city-wide accessibility improvements, and water main replacement projects. To date, no ADUs in Sierra Madre have been subject to this fee.

In July 2021, the City Council considered imposing the fee on applicable ADUs and decided that doing so would counter the need to create more housing to respond to the state-wide housing crisis and in accordance with the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Staff understood the City Council's direction and maintained that the fee not be charged for the construction of any ADU, but this direction was not well documented. At that time, state legislation regulating ADUs permitted up to one ADU and one Junior ADU on a property with a single-family dwelling. State legislation has since been amended to allow up to three ADUs and one Junior ADU on a property with a singlefamily dwelling, effectively doubling the number of ADUs that could previously be permitted. Today, the City Council is again being asked to consider a resolution regarding the administration of Public Facilities Fees on the creation of applicable ADUs with several approaches.

State legislation limits local agencies from imposing the fee for ADUs with 750 square feet of interior livable space or less and provides that local agencies imposing the fee on ADUs with more than 750 square feet of interior livable space be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit; the rate charged cannot be more than the fee established under any circumstance. 2025-2026 Public Facilities Fee Rate Schedule

For Single Family, divide the area of the ADU by the area of the single-family dwelling (treat quotients greater than 1 as 1) then multiply it by the fee rate for Single Family:

A new 800-square-foot ADU created on a property with an existing 3,200-square-foot single-family dwelling can be charged the fee at one-quarter the normal rate applicable to a new single-family dwelling: $18,885.00
A new 1,200-square-foot ADU created on a property with an existing 2,400-square-foot single-family dwelling can be charged the fee at one-half the normal rate applicable to a new single-family dwelling:
$37,769.99
A new 800-square-foot ADU created on a property with an existing 700-square-foot single-family dwelling can be charged the fee at the full normal rate applicable to a new single-family dwelling:
$75,539.98
For Multi Family, divide the area of the ADU by the area of the largest primary dwelling (treat quotients greater than 1 as 1) then multiple it by the fee rate for Multi Family:

A new 800-square-foot ADU created on a multifamily property where the largest primary dwelling is 1,600 squre feet can be charged the fee at one-half the normal rate applicable to a new multifamily dwelling: $18,439.90
A new 1,000-square-foot ADU created on a multifamily property where the largest primary dwelling is 900 square feet can be charged the fee at the full normal rate applicable to a new multifamily dwelling:
$$36,879.80
A new 750-square-foot ADU created on a multifamily property where the largest primary dwelling is 1,300 square feet cannot be charged the fee, because ADUs of up to 750 square feet are exempted by state legislation
Generally, the affordability of a dwelling unit has an inverse relationship with its size and cost to construct; smaller dwelling units are more affordable than larger dwelling units. Existing state legislation provides that the fee may be imposed on ADUs that have more than 750 square feet of interior livable space. In principle, imposing a Public Facility Fee on larger ADUs (more than 750 square feet) serves both as a barrier to the creation of less affordable, larger dwelling units and as an incentive to the creation of more affordable, smaller dwelling units. Moreover, existing laws increase the cost of ADUs larger than 500 square feet, thereby reducing their affordability. Low Impact Development standards (Chapter 15.58 of Title 15 of the Sierra Madre Municipal Code) requires that a civil engineer design and prepare plans to mitigate storm water runoff for developments increasing the impermeable area on a site by more than 500 square feet. Under California Education Code section 17620, Arcadia Unified School District and Pasadena Unified School District are authorized to levy a fee against residential construction resulting in an increase to the assessable space exceeding 500 square feet.

In principle, a waiver of Public Facility Fees for the creation of an ADU is new residential development subsidized by existing public facilities that serve the dwelling unit and the residents who occupy it. State law exempts smaller, more affordable ADUs from this fee. To date, no ADUs in Sierra Madre have been subject to this fee. Staff analyzed the ADU applications received from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2025 and found that from the larger ADUs (more than 750 square feet), the City has foregone a revenue up to $1,764,293 ($294,049 average per year) to fund public facilities. However, it is worth noting that had the fee been imposed for these ADUs, many applicants may have been incentivized to reduce the area of their ADUs to 750 square or less. Staff's analysis of ADU applications received since 2020 also revealed the following statistics:

Overall ADU size
Median: 654 square feet
Average: 666 square feet
Largest: 1,200 square feet
Smallest: 180 square feet
Overall ADU size relative to the primary dwelling
Median: 33.8%
Average: 40.8%
Largest: 127%
Smallest: 8%
Number of ADUs reviewed
Total: 147
More than 750 square feet: 58 (39%)
Overall ADU Construction
Number of ADUs built: 74
Number of ADUs in progress 49
With respect to a resolution regarding the administration of Public Facilities Fee for ADUs, the City Council may consider the following approaches:

Charge the fee for the creation of all ADUs with more than 750 square feet of interior livable space (in accordance with GC 66311.5)
Charge the fee for the creation of any ADU with more than 750 square feet of interior livable space (in accordance with GC 66311.5) beyond the first ADU and first Junior ADU Regardless of their size or whether the fee could be charged for the first ADU and first Junior ADU, the fee is charged for any additional ADU with more than 750 square feet of interior livable space (in accordance with GC 66311.5)
For any application to create two or more ADUs (excluding Junior ADUs) on a lot with no ADUs, the first ADU shall be the smallest of the ADUs in the application Waive the fee for all ADUs
To further reduce costs, the City Council may consider the following options:

Apply the Multi Family rate of Public Facilities Fee ($36,879.80) to all applicable ADUs Fee applied for each ADU subject to reduction based on the application-specific ADU-to-primary dwelling ratio
Adopt an amendment to the Public Facilities Fee Rate Schedule to create a new residential land use for ADUs at a maximum rate calculated one of the following ways:

A maximum fee equal to the Single Family rate multiplied by the average size of ADUs relative to primary dwellings
Per the current rates, $75,539.98 x 0.4 = $30,215.99
Fee applied for each ADU subject to further reduction based on the application-specific ADU-toprimary dwelling ratio A maximum fee equal to the Multi Family rate multiplied by the average size of ADUs relative to primary dwellings
Per the current rates, $36,879.80 x 0.4 = $14,751.92
Fee applied for each ADU subject to further reduction based on the application-specific ADU-toprimary dwelling ratio

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Ordinance No. 1494 is consistent with the following Goals and Policies of Sierra Madre General Plan’s Housing Element:

Goal 2.0: Facilitate the provision of a range of housing types to meet community needs.

Policy 2.1: Encourage diversity in the type, size, price and tenure of residential development in Sierra Madre, while maintaining quality of life goals.

Policy 2.5: Encourage the construction of new, well designed accessory dwelling units in residential zones as a means of addressing a portion of Sierra Madre’s regional housing needs.

The Housing Element relies on accessory dwelling units as a key strategy to accommodate a portion of the City’s 2021–2029 Regional Housing Needs Allocation and includes a program commitment to adopt a new accessory dwelling unit ordinance consistent with State law and to submit that ordinance to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for review. The proposed amendments directly carry out this commitment by aligning local standards with State ADU law and removing unnecessary regulatory barriers to accessory dwelling unit and junior accessory dwelling unit production.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
Strategic Objective: Maintain a safe, secure community. • Goal 1. Enhance and Provide a Mechanism to Maintain Excellent Fire Service • Goal 2. Enhance and Provide a Mechanism to Maintain Excellent Police Service Strategic Objective: Align infrastructure with projected population size and needs. • Goal 1. Strategically Manage Infrastructure Improvements A City Council resolution requiring certain ADUs be subject to Public Facilities Fees creates a means to fund improvements to public facilities, including renovations to enhance existing facilities for Fire and Police services and improvements to utilities and circulation infrastructure.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Ordinance No. 1494 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Public Resource Code Section 21080.17 as a local ordinance regulating the construction of accessory dwelling units.

FISCAL IMPACT
Government Code section 66311.5 allows Public Facilities Fees to be applied to ADUs with more than 750 square feet of interior livable area on a proportional basis relative to the primary dwelling, while ADUs of 750 square feet of interior livable area or under must remain exempt. Imposing Public Facilities Fees on Accessory Dwelling Units could generate a modest new revenue stream for capital facilities but could also discourage some new ADU production, the City may realize added revenue to fund accounts 34002 - Development Impact Fees (General), 34004 - Development Fees - Library, 34005 - Development Fees - Public Safety, 34006 - Development Fees - Quimby, 34007 - Development Fees - Transportation, 34008 - Development Fees - Water, and 34009 - Development Fees - Sewer. These fees are intended to fund the expansion of government services necessary to support the growth induced by residential development. However, funds must be expended on Capital projects within five years of collecting the fee.

Exhibit 1
Chapter 17.08 DEFINITIONS

17.08.020 Words, terms, phrases defined.
"Accessory dwelling units" also known as a "second unit," means the same as provided by Government Code section 66313an attached or a detached residential dwelling unit that provides complete independent living facilities for one or more persons and is located on a lot with a proposed or existing primary residence. It shall include permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation on the same parcel that the single-family or multifamily dwelling is or will be situated. An accessory dwelling unit also includes an efficiency unit and a manufactured home, as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code. “Livable space” means the same as provided by Government Code section 66313 and where the interior livable space is regulated under Title 17 of this code, it shall be measured from the interior side of the walls enclosing the dwelling unit, and including interior walls. "Living area" means the same as provided by Government Code section 66313interior habitable area of a dwelling unit, including basements and attics, but does not include a garage or any accessory structure.

Chapter 17.22 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS

17.22.010 Purpose and intent.

The purpose of this chapter is to implement the requirements under Government Code 66310 et seq.

Sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 for accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units. If this chapter of the Government Code Sections 65852.2 or 65852.22 areis ever repealed or deemed to be unconstitutional or no longer in effect, this chapter of the code shall automatically be repealed.

Accessory dwelling units do not exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located, shall be considered a residential use that is consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot and shall not be considered to exceed the allowable density for the lot upon which the accessory dwelling unit is located.

17.22.015 Applicability of other zoning standards.

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to mean that an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit is at all times exempt from any other section of this code, as applicable.

Although this chapter permits the new construction of an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit that may exceed otherwise allowable zoning requirements for lot coverage, open space, floor area and front setback, or structure conversion, such an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit, once permitted and built, may preclude the addition, expansion or enlargement of the primary dwelling unit or accessory structure otherwise permitted or conditionally permitted prior to the permitting of said accessory dwelling unit.

Section Footnotes:

Example 1: The new construction of an eight hundred square foot accessory dwelling unit increases the gross floor area of a property in the R-1 zone to a number equal to the maximum allowed in the R-1 zone. Future additions, expansions and enlargements are no longer possible without removal of floor area to compensate the addition, expansion or enlargement.

Example 2: The conversion of a two-car garage to an accessory dwelling unit or junior accessory dwelling unit, located on a lot in the R-1 zone, creates a nonconformity with the Parking Code (Chapter 17.68) where the minimum requirement for parking is the provision for two covered spaces. Bedroom additions in the R-1 zone are required to meet compliance with the Parking Code and thus the size of the bedroom addition would be limited or entirely precluded to necessitate the additional area for a garage or carport.

17.22.020 EligibilityUse permitted by-right.

One aAccessory dwelling units and one junior accessory dwelling unit shall be a use permitted within zones that permit or conditionally permit residential uses by-right with the following limitations:when the following conditions are met.

3B. The aAccessory dwelling units is are either attached to, or located within, the a proposed or existing primary dwelling, including an attached garages, storage areas or similar uses, or an accessory structure or detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling and located on the same lot as the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including detached garages; and C. Accessory dwelling units meeting all applicable development standards of this code.

4. Neither the primary residential dwelling unit nor the accessory dwelling units shall be a mobile home, trailer, or vehicle; and

5. Manufactured homes and modular dwelling units mounted to a permanent foundation shall be permitted as an accessory dwelling, unit or as a junior accessory dwelling unit when proposed as part of a primary dwelling unit that is a manufactured home or modular dwelling unit.

17.22.025 Limitations.

Accessory dwelling units shall be subject to the following limitations on use.

A. Accessory dwelling units may be rented separate from the primary residence, but shall not be sold or otherwise conveyed separate from the primary residence; and B. A proposed primary dwelling unit or accessory dwelling units shall not be a mobile home, trailer, or vehicle. Except that, manufactured homes and modular dwelling units mounted to a permanent foundation shall be permitted as an accessory dwelling, unit or as a junior accessory dwelling unit when proposed as part of a primary dwelling unit that is a manufactured home or modular dwelling unit.

C. Multifamily dwellings. Accessory dwelling units shall not be created by conversion of existing living area within a multifamily dwelling. Not more than 25% of existing units within a multifamily dwelling, not including accessory dwelling units, shall be created by conversion of existing non-livable area within the multifamily dwelling. This limitation shall allow at least one accessory dwelling unit to be created by converting existing non-livable areas within a multifamily dwelling. Junior accessory dwelling units shall not be permitted within a multifamily dwelling.

17.22.030 Development standards.

For accessory dwelling units created with existing or proposed multifamily development, the standards of this Chapter 17.22 shall be considered in combination with the City of Sierra Madre Objective Design Standards (Chapter 17.50).

STAFF REPORT

FINANCE
DATE: May 12, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Harry Wong, Director of Finance
By: William Zaragoza, Accounting Technician
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 26-34 Approving Certain Demands for Payment

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-34 and approve payment for the following:

1. Outstanding Obligated City Warrants: $807,050.60

2. Outstanding Obligated Sierra Madre Library Warrants: $229,191.05

3. Payroll Transfer: $567,002.29

SUMMARY
The City Council is requested to ratify warrants and approve checks issued for payment, as certified by the Director of Finance. These payments have been reviewed for compliance with the City’s approved budget, financial policies, and authorized spending limits. Ratification by the City Council formally authorizes the disbursement of public funds, ensuring transparency, accountability, and adherence to sound fiscal management practices.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Warrant Register provides an aggregated breakdown of the warrants, including descriptions (e.g. categories of payments), amounts, and corresponding fiscal year allocations. Note that the last page serves as a reference document to support the warrant approvals requested in this report, ensuring transparency and accountability in financial transactions. The attachment includes details on general warrants, utility bills, library warrants, and payroll transfers.

The Check Approval Register provides a comprehensive record of financial disbursements by the City of Sierra Madre, detailing payment transactions, vendor information, and check dates to ensure transparency and accountability. Additionally, the Payroll Summary Register outlines payroll disbursements, including total earnings, employer expenses, and overall payroll costs for each pay period. The total payroll expenditure for the most recent pay period (PR #08) for Date 4/23/26:

Total Earnings (Salaries) @ $405,308.35 plus Total Employer Expenses for Benefits @ $161,693.94 = Total @ $567,002.29
This aligns with the payroll transfer amount listed in the attachment. These records collectively support the accuracy and legitimacy of the financial transactions presented for approval.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
None.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute as a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be determined with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action.

STAFF REPORT

FIRE DEPARTMENT
DATE: May 12, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brent Bartlett, Fire Chief
By: Amy Hsu, Administrative Analyst
SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 26-35 Authorizing a Supplemental Budget Appropriation from the General Fund Reserve in the Amount of $50,000 for Payment to Emergency Planning Consultants

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-35 authorizing a supplemental budget appropriation from the General Fund Reserve in the amount of $50,000 for account 10000-62000-52100 in FY 2025–26 for payment to Emergency Planning Consultants for the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan update.

SUMMARY
The City entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Emergency Planning Consultants for preparation of a FEMA-required Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update. The consultant has completed all work in accordance with the agreement and submitted a final invoice in the amount of $50,000. Funding for this project was not included in the adopted FY 2025-26 operating budget for the Fire Department. This item requests City Council approval of a budget appropriation to allow payment for services rendered.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
On January 21, 2025, the City executed a Professional Services Agreement with Emergency Planning Consultants for preparation of the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update, with a total contract amount not to exceed $50,000.

A Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) is a FEMA-defined, five-year plan that documents how a local jurisdiction will reduce long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards. Adoption of an updated LHMP is required to maintain eligibility for several FEMA hazard mitigation assistance programs, including funding for wildfire prevention, flood control, and post-disaster recovery projects. The City’s previous LHMP expired on September 10, 2025.

Emergency Planning Consultants has completed all required scope items, including plan development, risk assessment, stakeholder coordination, and preparation of the draft LHMP. The submitted draft is available for public review on the City’s website at:
https://www.sierramadreca.gov/media/pwxhfcee/sierra-madre-hmp-2025-first-draft.pdf Currently, Resolution No. 26-10, adopting the 2025 LHMP sits with FEMA, whom will be providing their Letter of Approval; however, the government shutdown has created a delay is processing the letter. The consultant has submitted a final invoice totaling $50,000 for completed services. As sufficient funds are not currently appropriated in the applicable account, City Council approval of a budget appropriation is required prior to processing payment. Approval of this item will allow the City to fulfill its contractual obligation.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
This item supports the City’s goal of enhancing emergency preparedness and community resilience through proactive hazard mitigation planning.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Not a CEQA Project under: PRC 21080(b)(4)- actions to mitigate or prevent emergency

FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding is avaialble in the General Fund Reserve for this expense. An additional appropriation of $50,000 for account 10000-62000-52100 is requested in FY 2025–26. Upon approval, sufficient funds will be available to process payment to Emergency Planning Consultants.

STAFF REPORT

PUBLIC WORKS SERVICES
DATE: May 12, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brian Dickinson, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 26-36 Authorizing a Supplemental Budget Appropriation from the Sewer Fund and Sewer Development Impact Fee Fund and Approval of Purchase Order with Municipal Maintenance Equipment (MME) for the Acquisition of a VacCon VJT1500 Sewer Jetter Truck in the amount of $459,562.54

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 26--36 authorizing a supplemental budget appropriation of $259,562.54 from the Sewer Fund Reserve and $200,000.00 from Development Impact Fees - Sewer Fund; and

2. Authorize the purchase order of one (1) Vac-Con Vec-Jet VJT1500 Jetter mounted on a new Freightliner 108 SD CARB22 4x2 chassis through Municipal Maintenance Equipment, utilizing Sourcewell Contract No. 101221-VAC, in an amount not to exceed $459,562.54.

SUMMARY
The Public Works Department is responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the City’s wastewater collection system, which includes approximately 32 miles of pipeline, 747 manholes, and 3,248 service laterals. In compliance with regulatory requirements established by the State Water Resources Control Board and as outlined in the City’s Sewer System Management Plan, the City must perform routine cleaning and video inspection of sewer pipelines and manholes to ensure proper system performance, minimize the risk of sanitary sewer overflows, and identify structural or operational deficiencies.

During Fiscal Year 2026/27, the Public Works Department will initiate preparation of an updated Sewer System Master Plan and Hydraulic Model. The proposed equipment acquisition will play a critical role in supporting this effort by enabling effective cleaning of sewer mains in advance of CCTV inspection, allowing for accurate condition assessment and evaluation of system infrastructure. Upon completion of the Master Plan and identification of associated Capital Improvement Program needs, the City will undertake a comprehensive Cost of Service Rate Study to evaluate and align sewer rates with system demands and long-term infrastructure investment needs.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Public Works Department’s existing sewer jetting truck is more than 30 years old and has reached the end of its useful service life. Due to its age, replacement parts have become increasingly difficult—and in some cases impossible—to procure, resulting in extended downtime and challenges in maintaining reliable operations. These limitations hinder the Department’s ability to consistently perform routine sewer cleaning and respond effectively to urgent maintenance needs.

In addition to mechanical reliability concerns, the vehicle no longer complies with current air quality regulations established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD). As a result, the City is restricted to operating the unit for fewer than 1,000 hours per year. This limitation significantly reduces operational capacity, constraining the Department’s ability to meet required sewer system maintenance schedules and respond to emergency situations, such as blockages or potential sanitary sewer overflows.

The combination of regulatory restrictions and mechanical inefficiencies creates operational risk for the City’s wastewater system. Continued reliance on this aging equipment may lead to increased service disruptions, higher maintenance costs, and potential non-compliance with regulatory requirements. Replacement of the existing jetting truck is therefore necessary to restore full operational capability, improve reliability, and ensure the City can effectively meet its ongoing sewer maintenance and emergency response obligations.

Municipal governments are permitted to utilize cooperative purchasing programs such as Sourcewell to access competitively bid pricing for vehicles and equipment that have been procured through nationally solicited contracts.

This approach allows agencies to streamline procurement while ensuring cost competitiveness based on pricing already secured by other public entities. The City is a registered Sourcewell participant (Registrant No. 40306), enabling it to leverage these cooperative agreements for efficient and compliant purchasing.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
This purchase will build on the City's Strategic Initiative to create a Sustainable Capital Investment Plan, and Asset Inventory and lifecycle planning of assets.

Not a CEQA Project under: PRC 21080(b)(1)- ministerial acts

FISCAL IMPACT
The purchase of the Vac-Con Jetter Truck will be funded by an additional FY 2025-26 approproiation from the Sewer Fund Account No. 72000-81200-56007 for the amount of $259,562.54, and an additional FY 2025-26 appropriation from Development Impact Fees - Sewer, Account No. 34009-81200-56007 for the amount of $200,000.00. The Sewer Fund balance reserves are utilized for capital infrastructure improvements as well as equipment purchases. The Development Impact Fees - Sewer are fees collected as part of any new development projects and are to be utilized for infrastructure improvements or capital equipment purchases, and cannot be used for ongoing operation and maintenance purposes.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brian Dickinson, Director of Public Works
By: Eric Lozick, Management Analyst
SUBJECT:

Resolution No. 26-33 Adopting the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-33 adopting the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition, as the City’s baseline standard plans reference for public works construction in the City of Sierra Madre.

SUMMARY
The City of Sierra Madre does not currently have an adopted standard plans reference for public works construction. When the City prepares or reviews improvement plans and construction documents, there is no single adopted baseline set of engineering drawings and details to which staff, consultants, contractors, and utility providers can refer for commonly recurring public works design elements. This resolution would establish that baseline by adopting the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition.

The Standard Plans publication provides standardized engineering drawings and details across major public works categories, including street improvements, sewers and sanitation, flood control and storm drain facilities, landscaping and irrigation systems, and general facilities. The Standard Plans are a companion publication to the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (the Greenbook), which addresses written construction specifications and is being considered separately. This item is limited to the Standard Plans.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Public Works Department requests adoption of the 2021 edition as the City’s standard plans reference for public works construction. Cities, counties, and public agencies throughout California use the Standard Plans as standardized engineering references for public works construction. The publication states that the Standard Plans are to be used in conjunction with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction as a companion document; however, this item is limited to adopting the Standard Plans as the City’s baseline reference for recurring design details. The publication of the Standard Specifications is being considered separately.

The 2021 edition includes standard plan details across major public works categories. These sections include recurring public works details such as driveway approaches, curb ramps, curb and sidewalk joints, sidewalk and driveway replacement, curb and gutter types, sewer manholes, catch basins, irrigation components, retaining walls, handrails, and related facilities commonly encountered in public works projects.

Adoption will provide the City with a consistent baseline reference already familiar to many public agencies, engineers, contractors, and utility providers. Use of a standardized plan set may improve consistency in plan preparation, plan review, and field interpretation during construction while reducing the need to recreate common engineering details from project to project.

The Standard Plans are not a substitute for project-specific engineering judgment or project-specific contract documents. The publication states that the Standard Plans, as engineering plans, do not have the legal effect of a contract document or construction plan until officially adopted by the particular user agency. The publication also states that, when used in California, the plans are subject to applicable provisions of the Business and Professions Code. Adoption of the 2021 edition does not relieve any person of the obligation to comply with applicable professional licensing requirements, and any project requiring approval, signing, sealing, or responsible charge by a licensed engineer must still be handled by the appropriately licensed engineer responsible for that project.

Adoption of the 2021 edition will therefore establish a baseline reference while preserving the City’s authority to supplement, revise, or depart from those details through project-specific plans, notes, special provisions, and other contract documents where appropriate.

Although future editions of the Standard Plans may be considered by the City Council as they are issued, the recommended action is limited to the 2021 edition. Limiting the current action to the 2021 edition preserves City Council oversight if and when updated standard plan editions are considered.

The Standard Plans for Public Works Construction is a copyrighted publication of BNI Publications, Inc. on behalf of Public Works Standards, Inc. The publisher’s copyright notice states that reproduction is expressly prohibited except that user public agencies may reproduce individual elements of the Standard Plans for their own agency use, and that no other reproduction is authorized except by express written permission of the publisher. The carveout for agency use of individual plan elements supports the City’s use of individual standard plan sheets in project documents following adoption, but does not authorize reproduction or public posting of the complete publication.

For these reasons, the Standard Plans publication is not reproduced in or attached to the public agenda packet. A copy of the Standard Plans is on file with the City Clerk and the Public Works Department, and copies have been made available to the City Council for review.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
This action supports consistent project delivery and efficient administration of public works construction contracts.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact as a result of this recommended action. This action adopts standard plans for public works construction only. It does not appropriate funds, authorize construction, award a contract, or approve a specific capital project. Use of standardized plans may reduce staff and contract engineering time spent preparing recurring engineering details and may improve consistency in the preparation and review of future public works construction documents, although any such administrative benefit is not readily quantifiable in advance.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

SIERRA MADRE, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE

STANDARD PLANS FOR PUBLIC WORKS
CONSTRUCTION, 2021 EDITION, AS THE CITY’S

BASELINE STANDARD PLANS REFERENCE FOR

PUBLIC WORKS CONSTRUCTION

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City of Sierra Madre undertakes public works projects that require consistent baseline engineering plan references for the preparation of improvement plans and the administration of public works construction projects; and WHEREAS, the City does not currently have an adopted standard plans reference for public works construction; and
WHEREAS, the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction is a widely used publication providing standardized engineering drawings and details for public works construction; and
WHEREAS, the Standard Plans publication states that it is to be used in conjunction with the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction as a companion document, and that the plans represent the professional thinking of leading public works officials and private members of the construction industry; and WHEREAS, the Standard Plans publication states that uniform plans embracing modern design and construction techniques will benefit the general public and the private contracting industry by eliminating conflicts and confusion, lowering construction costs, and encouraging more competitive bidding by private contractors; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition, as the City’s baseline standard plans reference for public works construction, while preserving the City’s ability to use project-specific plans, Special Provisions, standard details, City standards, and other contract documents where appropriate.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SIERRA MADRE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated into this Resolution by this reference.

SECTION 2. Adoption. The Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition, prepared and promulgated by Public Works Standards, Inc., is hereby adopted as the City’s baseline standard plans reference for public works construction. A copy of the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition, shall be maintained on file with the City Clerk and the Public Works Department and made available for public inspection.

SECTION 3. Project-Specific Contract Documents. Nothing in this Resolution shall preclude the City from using project-specific plans, Special Provisions, standard details, City standards, or other contract documents where appropriate for a particular public works project. Where a project-specific contract document conflicts with the Standard Plans adopted herein, the project-specific contract document shall control.

SECTION 4. Professional Engineer Approval. Adoption of the Standard Plans does not relieve any person of the obligation to comply with applicable California professional licensing requirements. To the extent use of the Standard Plans on a particular project requires approval, signing, sealing, or responsible charge by a licensed engineer under California law, that responsibility shall remain with the California-licensed civil engineer in responsible charge of the project, whether serving as the City Engineer, a retained oncall engineer, or the engineer of record, as applicable.

SECTION 5. Scope of Adoption. This Resolution adopts only the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction, 2021 Edition. The companion publication, Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook), 2024 Edition, is not adopted by this Resolution.

SECTION 6. Future Amendments and Editions. Future amendments or later editions of the Standard Plans for Public Works Construction may be considered by the City Council as they are issued and shall be adopted only through future action of the City Council in the manner required by law.

SECTION 7. CEQA. The City Council finds that the adoption of this Resolution is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines section 15378, because it does not directly authorize any specific construction activity and will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, to the extent the action is considered a project, the City Council finds that it is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of baseline standard plans will have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 8. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Resolution.

SECTION 9. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 12th day of May 2026. __________________________

Resolution No. 26-37 Approving the Fourth Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release with CETT Investments Corporation

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 26-37 approving the Fourth Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release with CETT Investments Corporation ("Fourth Amendment").

SUMMARY
The City has approved successive amendments to the settlement agreement with CETT Investments Corporation to facilitate the development of the Stonegate and Stonehouse developments pursuant to the approved design guidelines attached to the Settlement Agreement. The Third Amendment is set to expire on June 13, 2026, and the City Council must consider whether to extend the settlement agreement through June 13, 2028 via approval of the Fourth Amendment.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Procedural Background
The litigation involving the One Carter (Stonegate) property has a nearly two-decade long history that is intertwined with the Stonehouse property. The timeline below highlights the milestones involving both properties:

Pre-1999- Maranatha High School acquires properties known as Stonehouse and One Carter 1999- Maranatha High School applies to amend the General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Map to build a high school
January 2001- the City Council denies the General Plan and Zoning application December 2002- Maranatha High School proposes a residential subdivision at One Carter, which is denied by the City
January 2003- Maranatha High school sues in federal court alleging a violation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act

Approving Tentative Tract Map
65348
December 2023 – City and CETT
enter into the Third Amendment to
Settlement Agreement and Release
to extend the deadline for submitting
complete applications, attached as
Attachment A
Effect of Proposed Second Amendment
One Carter (Stonehouse) consists of 29 separate lots as indicated in the attached map. Of the 29 lots, one is set aside as open space, three have been issued building permits, five are completing the plan check process, and a complete application has yet to be submitted for the remaining 19.

The Settlement Agreement and Release entered into in June 2018 allowed CETT to submit complete development applications for the remaining 19 lots by December 13, 2019. The Amendment to the Settlement Agreement and Release extended that deadline to December 13, 2021. The Second Amendment extended that deadline to December 13, 2023. The Third Amendment further extended the deadline to June 13, 2026. CETT desires to enter into the Fourth Amendment to extend the deadline to submit complete development applications for an additional 24 months to June 13, 2028.

If the City Council rejects the Fourth Amendment, the parcels contemplated to be developed pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Release will instead need to be developed pursuant to the current Sierra Madre Municipal Code. It is also likely that CETT will resume litigation.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
Not applicable.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this Fourth Amendment.

Third Annual Report of the Development Agreement Between the City of Sierra Madre, Toll West Coast, LLC and The Congregation of the Passion

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Third Annual Report of the Development Agreement Between the City of Sierra Madre, Toll West Coast, LLC and The Congregation of the Passion.

SUMMARY
On May 23, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-41, causing Ordinance No. 1461 and the associated Development Agreement for the Meadows at Bailey Canyon project with NUWI Sierra Madre, LLC and the Congregation of the Passion, Mater Dolorosa Community ("Development Agreement") to take effect. Development Agreement Section 4(m) requires the Developer to submit an Annual Report to the City within 30 days of the anniversary of its effective date. On November 25, 2025, Toll West Coast, LLC became the successor in interest to NUWI Sierra Madre, LLC and assumed all rights and obligations under the Development Agreement as the Applicant.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-41 on May 23, 2023, certifying the results of the special election rejecting the referendum and causing Ordinance No. 1461 to take effect. This action encompassed the adoption of the Specific Plan, approval of a zoning map amendment, and approval of the Development Agreement.

The Third Annual Report of the Development Agreement covers the period of May 23, 2025 through May 31, 2026.

Significant advancements in the project were made during this annual reporting period including securing the approval from Willdan Engineering, the City's contracted engineer, of the grading plans, utility plans, and improvement plans. According to Section 4(m) of the Development Agreement, within 30 days of the one-year anniversary of the Effective date, and annually thereafter until the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the last single-family residential unit of the project, the developer, NUWI-Sierra, is required to submit an annual report (included as Attachment A) including a progress report, a list of remaining tasks, and details on the expected completion:
a. Recordation of the conservation easements and lot tie affidavit pursuant to Section 3; b. Application for subsequent land use entitlements pursuant to Section 4(a); c. Design, dedication, and development of the Public Park pursuant to Section 4(b); d. Formation of a CFD pursuant to Section 4(c);
e. Attainment of Net Zero Water pursuant to Section 4(d); f. Construction of Utilities pursuant to Section 4(e);
g. Construction of low impact development improvements pursuant to Section 4(f); h. Payment of Development Impact Fees pursuant to Section 4(g); i. Initiatives to encourage electric appliances pursuant to Section 4(h); and j. Progress on the completion of the offsite improvements pursuant to Section 4(i).

On April 22, 2025, the City Council approved a tentative parcel map to further subdivide the Retreat Center Open Space. The Congregation of the Passion is currently in the process of finalizing the subdivision and recording the conservation easements. It is anticipated this process will be completed witin the next reporting period.

In May 2025, the City received the Design Review Permit application for the 42 homes proposed in the project, the final land use entitlement required for the project. Staff reviewed the application over the course of six months and recommended three design changes to ensure that the project meets the standards established by the Specific Plan adopted under Ordinance No. 1461. On January 15, 2026, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the home designs' consistency with the adopted Specific Plan and unanimously approved the Design Review Permit. On February 24, 2026, the City Council upheld the decision of the Planning Commission upon the consideration of an appeal of the Planning Commission's approval. Pursuant to Development Agreement section 4(n), now that Toll West Coast, LLC has secured the City's approval of both the Tentative Tract Map and Design Review Permit, it is required to pay the City $250,000 to be used for public safety purposes.

The City issued a grading permit on the condition that soil testing occur prior to breaking ground to address community concerns relating to soil contamination resulting from the Eaton Fire. Soil testing results found an area in the northwest quadrant of the project site with mild contamination. The area was staked and a ground depth of 12 inches, amounting to 100 cubic yards of soil, was removed and safely remediated.

RE: Meadows at Bailey Canyon Development Agreement Annual Report Dear Ms. Lin:

Thank you for this opportunity to submit this third annual report as required by Section 4(m) of the Meadows at Bailey Canyon Development Agreement (the “DA”). The enclosed report covers the period of May 23, 2025 – May 31, 2026 As you are aware, the DA was adopted by the City Council on September 27, 2022 by Ordinance No. 1461. Although the DA was adopted on September 27, 2022, a referendum petition challenging the enactment of Ordinance No. 1461 was filed and a special election was held in May of 2023. The City Clerk certified the election results upholding the adoption of Ordinance No. 1461 on May 23, 2023. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 7(a), the effective date of the DA is May 23, 2023.

Pursuant to Section 4(m) of the DA, “within 30 days of the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date” the Developer shall submit an annual report to the City of Sierra Madre. The Annual report shall include a progress report, a list of remaining tasks, and the expected date of completion for 10 items, each described in detail herein.

Substantial progress has been made to advance the project over the past year, including the issuance of a grading permit, supplemental soil remediation work to address community feedback, commencement of grading operations, the approval of a design review permit, and continued processing of building plans, final map, improvement plans, and other necessary entitlements. Construction activities began in January of 2026. As of the date of this report, grading operations are approximately 85% complete. However, 2 many of the tasks included in the list of reportable items will be completed in future years as vertical construction gets underway. All dates provided in this annual report are best estimates and are subject to change depending on factors outside of the control of the project team such as market conditions, weather delays, and permitting by third party entities like LA County and SCE, amongst others.

We look forward to continuing to work with the City of Sierra Madre to deliver a world class project. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Jonathan Frankel

3 The Meadows at Bailey Canyon
Third Annual Report of the Development Agreement Between the City of Sierra Madre, Toll West Coast, LLC and The Congregation of Passion
May 23, 2025 – May 31, 2026
Introduction and Overview
On September 27, 2022 the City of Sierra Madre adopted Ordinance No. 1461, approving a development agreement (“DA”) between NUWI Sierra Madre, LLC (the “Applicant”), The Congregation of Passion (the “Congregation”), and the City of Sierra Madre (the “City”) related to the development of approximately 17 acres of vacant land at the Mater Dolorosa property (the “Project Site”). Ordinance No. 1461 also included the adoption of a Specific Plan and zoning map amendment that would permit the construction of 42 single family homes and a 3-acre public park on the Project Site. On November 25, 2025, Toll West Coast, LLC became the successor in interest to NUWI Sierra Madre, LLC and assumed all rights and obligations under to the DA as the Applicant.

Per Section 4(m) of the DA, within 30 days of the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date of the DA, the developer shall submit an annual report outlining progress on a variety of obligations contained in the DA.

Progress Report
During the reporting period, the Applicant made significant progress in advancing the project. Our design team hassecured approval by the City Engineer of a wide variety of construction plans including grading plans, utility plans, and improvement plans. The City of Sierra Madre issued a grading permit in February of 2026. Prior to the commencement of mass grading, the project team completed supplemental soil testing to address community concerns regarding soil contamination as a result of the Eaton fire. One small area of contamination was identified and was fully remediated in accordance with all state and federal protocols and regulations. Grading operations are underway alongside the construction of onsite retaining walls.

The project team achieved a major milestone in the architectural design process during the reporting period. On January 15, 2026 the City’s Planning Commission unanimously approved a design review permit (“DRP”) for the project. On appeal, the City Council upheld the planning commission determination to approve the DRP. This permit will allow the completion of building plans and ultimately the issuance of a building permit for the new residences.

Below is a list of those specific items that must be included in each annual report, 4 pursuant to Section 4(m)(ii) of the DA.

I. Recordation of the Conservation Easements and lot tie affidavit pursuant to Section 3
Pursuant to Section 3 of the DA, within 24 months of the effective date, the Congregation shall submit a complete tentative tract map application that will further subdivide the area to the north of the existing retreat center (the “Retreat Center Open Space”). This new lot encompassing the Retreat Center Open Space will be subject to a permanent conservation easement and lot tie affidavit.

On March 20th 2025, the City’s Planning Commission considered an application by the Congregation to furthersubdivide the hillside property behind the existing retreat center to create permanent open space as required by the DA. The Commission recommended approval of the application, subject to conditions of approval. The City Council finally approved the tentative parcel map on April 22, 2025. The Congregation is in the process of finalizing the subdivision and recording the conservation easements.

It is anticipated this process will be complete within the next 12 months.

II. Application for subsequent land use entitlements pursuant to Section 4(a) All applications for subsequent land use entitlements have been submitted, as required. Permits associated with these applications have been approved.

The subsequent land use entitlements required submitted by the Applicant include two components: (1) the tentative tract map, and (2) the DRP.

The tentative tract map application was submitted on June 29, 2023. The City Council approved the tentative tract map on February 27, 2024. The DRP application was submitted on May 27, 2025. The DRP was approved unanimously by the Planning Commission on January 15, 2026. The City Council denied an appeal of the planning commission decision on February 24, 2026.

III. Design, dedication, and development of the Public Park pursuant to Section 4(b) The Community Services Commission (the “Commission”) completed three public workshops on the park design in June 2024. The applicant presented three alternative designs for consideration by the Commission, each containing different amenities and layouts. At the conclusion of the third workshop, the commission voted unanimously to support the proposed design. The public park will be fully constructed and dedicated to the City of Sierra Madre upon 50% of the new homes being occupied. This is anticipated to occur in Spring of 2028 but is dependent on market conditions and overall home sales rates. 5 IV. Formation of park assessment district pursuant to Section 4(c) The DA obligates the Applicant to form a community facilities district (“CFD”), landscape maintenance district (“LMD”), or similar mechanism, for the funding of ongoing park maintenance. Any such funding mechanism must be formed prior to the dedication of the public park to the City of Sierra Madre. The dedication of the public park will occur after construction has been completed. This is anticipated to occur in Spring of 2028.

Accordingly, the formation of a CFD will likely occur by Spring of 2027, but in any event, no later than the dedication of the park. The project team, in coordination with City staff, has selected a CFD consultant to begin the formation process. It is anticipated that the City Council will approve the CFD within the next 12 months.

V. Attainment of Net Zero Water pursuant to Section 4(d) The DA requires that the Applicant pay $983,500 to implement net zero water use strategies. This payment is intended to create water-neutral development. The payment will be paid in installments prior to the issuance of a building permit associated with each residential unit. Accordingly, prior to the issuance of each building permit, the Applicant will pay $23,416.67 toward the attainment of netzero water. Building permits are anticipated to be issued in phases, beginning in winter of 2027.

VI. Construction of Utilities pursuant to Section 4(e)
All newly constructed onsite utilities will be undergrounded as a part of project implementation. Construction of onsite utilities is anticipated to begin in Summer of 2026 and will be completed by winter 2027.

VII. Construction of low impact development improvements pursuant to Section 4(f) All applicable construction plans include compliance with Sierra Madre Municipal Code (“SMMC”) Chapter 15.58 and best management practices related to stormwater management and treatment. These improvements will be constructed on a phased basis alongside the development of certain infrastructure and each residential unit.

Implementation of these best practices is anticipated to begin alongside construction of the residential units, beginning in winter of 2027.

VIII. Payment of Development Impact Fees pursuant to Section 4(g) The Applicant will pay all applicable development impact fees, including the art in public places fee and the park facility fee, prior to the issuance of each respective 6 building permit. Building permits are anticipated to be issued beginning in winter of 2027.

IX. Initiatives to encourage electric appliances pursuant to Section 4(h) The Applicant remains committed to encouraging the use of electric appliances and will complete the following prior to the commencement of home sales, anticipated to begin in winter of 2027: (1) Furnish a model home with all electric appliances and make educational pamphlets available that explain the benefits of electric appliances, (2) erect onsite signage and maintain a website that explains the benefits of electric appliances and how to maximize their value, (3) ensure that each home is energy star certified, and (4) promote full electrification of the project by providing educational materials and electric cooking demonstrations.

X. Progress of the completion of offsite improvements pursuant to Section 4(i) On January 2, 2025 the County of Los Angeles approved the proposed improvements to Carter Avenue. On March 11, 2025, the County granted an easement to the City of Sierra Madre for public right-of-way purposes necessary to construct the improvements. This concludes the easement acquisition process and satisfies the obligations pursuant to Section 4(i) of the DA. Construction on the offsite improvements are anticipated to begin in fall of 2026, but in no event will construction commence later than the issuance of the first building permit for the project, as required by the DA.

(a) Certain Remedies. In any action at law or equity or other legal or administrative proceeding to remedy a Default of this Agreement or otherwise enforce this Agreement or that otherwise may arise out of this Agreement, the sole and unique remedies shall consist of:
(b)
(c)
260145.v18
260145.v23
260145.v25
260145.v28
260145.v30
(i) specific performance,
(ii) mandatory or injunctive relief,
(iii) writ of mandate, or
(iv) termination.

No Party shall be liable, regardless of whether the Claim is based in contract or tort, for any special, indirect or consequential damages or lost profits.

Termination. The Parties agree that if Developer fails to carry out its material obligations under this Agreement, and such failure is not cured pursuant to Section 12(b), the City has the right to terminate this Agreement subject to the resolution of any formal dispute and equitable considerations.

Equitable Relief. Due to the size, nature and scope of the Project, it will not be practical or possible to restore the Property to its natural condition once implementation of this Agreement has begun. After such implementation, Congregation and Developer may be foreclosed from other choices it may have had to utilize the Property and provide for other benefits. Congregation and Developer have invested significant time and resources and performed extensive planning and 19 processing of -the-Projeet-in agreeing to the terms of this Agreement and will be investing even more substantial time and resources in implementing the Project in reliance upon the terms of this Agreement, and it is not possible to determine the sum of money which would adequately compensate Congregation and Developer for such efforts. By the same token, in the event that City issues any permit or other approval for a structure, and the public facilities, improvements, and infrastructure reasonably necessary to provide an adequate level of public services to that structure are not timely completed or Developer or Congregation otherwise fails to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, then it would not be possible to determine a sum of money that would adequately compensate City for the resulting hardship. For the above reasons, the Parties agree that, notwithstanding any other language in this Agreement, damages would not be an adequate or appropriate remedy.

15. EMERGENCY WORKJNG GROUP MEETINGS.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Parties shall not commence any legal action or willfully engage in any other act or omission inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to withholding or delaying issuance of any ministerial approval by City, without first initiating and participating in good faith in, an "Emergency Working Group" meeting pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.
(b) Notice of Meeting. Upon receipt of any Default Notice, or upon the existence of any dispute or disagreement between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Project, any Party may request a meeting of the Emergency Working Group to address and seek to resolve the dispute or disagreement by giving written notice to the other Party setting forth the nature of the issue in dispute and the desire to hold an immediate Emergency Working Group meeting. ( c) Date of Meeting. The meeting shall be held within 10 days of the written notice, unless extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties. (d) Composition. The Emergency Working Group will be composed of at least one and not more than five representatives from each Party.

260145.vJ0
20 excluding any Claims---resulting solely from the intentional conduct or active negligence of the City Parties.

Counsel in any such legal defense shall be selected by Developer and reasonably approved by the City. Developer shall not settle any such proceeding without the consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
(d) Rejection of Tender. If Developer should fail to accept the City's tender of defense as set forth above, the City shall defend such Claims and control the defense or settlement of such Claims in the City's sole discretion, and the City may take any and all actions it deems necessary and appropriate in connection therewith.

17. BANKRUPTCY INDEMNIFICATION. The requirement of Section 16 above extends to any claims third parties may raise due to the bankruptcy of the Developer, including any parties that were connected to the Developer. City is relying on this representation as part of City's participation in and consent to this Agreement. Developer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless City Parties for any Claims resulting from any party claiming any interest in the Developer or any potential bankruptcy proceedings.

PLANNING & COMMUNITY PRESERVATION DEPARTMENT

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aleks Giragosian, City Attorney
FROM: Vincent Gonzalez, Director of Planning & Community Preservation DATE: July 28, 2022
RE: Administrative Interpretation (Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center Open Space Easement - Permitted Uses)
It shall be the duty of the director, where reasonably necessary, to interpret the provisions of the code to assure adherence to the City Council's purpose and intent in adopting the provisions contained therein. All such interpretations shall be reduced to written form, and shall be permanently maintained by the director.

Mater Dolorosa Retreat Center (Retreat Center) has requested a Director's interpretation for the dedication of a portion of the Retreat Center property as an open space easement. The easement shall prohibit future residential development in the Retreat Center Open Space in perpetuity, but shall reserve to the Congregation all subsurface rights, including but not limited to, water and mineral rights, and all development rights consistent with the permitted uses under SMMC section 17.60.020, as interpreted by the Director referenced below.

Background: The Congregation of the Passion, Mater Dolorosa Community, a California charitable corporation, operates a 90-guest retreat center in Sierra Madre ("Applicant"). The Applicant is the owner of property (Assessor's Parcel Number 5761-002-008) located at 700 North Sunnyside Avenue, Sierra Madre, CA 91024 ("Property").

Municipal Code: Sierra Madre Municipal Code ("SMMC") Chapter 17.16.020 - regulates uses permitted in the Open Space Zone. Specifically, Section 17.16.020.B allows Parks, playgrounds, wildlife preserves, recreation areas and such nonhabitable buildings and structures as are accessory.

Director's Interpretation: It is the Director's interpretation of Section 17 .16.020.B, that certain passive religious uses are similar to recreational area uses, including nonhabitable structures that would be auxiliary to such uses.

Nonhabitable structures include but are not limitied to:
• Prayer/mediation garden(s)
• Prayer/mediation trail(s) similar to Stations of the Cross • Small gathering area for group prayer
In connection with these "passive religious" uses, the Retreat Center may construct nonhabitable structures, including but not limited to:
• Pergola with vines over a segment of a trail
• Gazebo or similar over a bench or benches
• An altar within a small gathering area
• A small shed if needed to hold equipment relevant to the keeping of the religious uses Director's Conclusion: It is the conclusion of the Director that the Municipal Code allows nonhabitable structures referenced above as a use permitted by right.

PLANNING & COMMUNITY PRESERVATION
DATE: May 12, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Clare Lin, Director of Planning & Community Preservation SUBJECT: First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommedned that the City Council approve the First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates to update the City's General Plan Open Space and Conservation Elements for an additional six-month period, and authorize the City Manager to execute such contract in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

SUMMARY
On September 23, 2025, the City Council approved the Professional Services Agreement contract to update the City's General Plan Open Space and Conservation Elements. Kimley-Horn and Associates’ contract is set to expire on June 30, 2026, and this amendment extends the agreement by six months, through December 31, 2026. The scope of work and fee schedule for the new contract will remain unchanged from the prior agreement.

DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Open Space Element is a required component of a local government's General Plan pursuant to Section 65302(a) of the California Government Code. Its primary goal is to establish a comprehensive vision and policies for preserving, expanding, and enhancing the City's parks, recreational resources, and community facilities. The Conservation Element guides the City of Sierra Madre in protecting and managing its natural and cultural resources. It provides a framework for conserving water, land, air quality, and scenic areas, while also addressing wildlife habitat preservation and disaster preparedness.

Staff and the consultant held community workshops at Hart Park House in December 2025 and staffed an informational booth at the Wistaria Festival in March 2026 to collect feedback from the community.

On May 4, 2026, Staff and the consultant completed incorporating all comments and feedback and prepared the final draft for public review. The 30-day public review period runs from May 12, 2026 through June 15, 2026. The General Plan elements update is scheduled for the Planning Commission Public Hearing on June 18, 2026 and the City Council Public Hearing on July 14, 2026.

STRATEGIC PLAN RELATIONSHIP
Strategic Objective: Maintain a safe, secure community. Goal 3. Manage Outdoor Environment

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The decision to contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates qualifies for a Common Sense Exemption pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). 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.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of the recommended action. The proposed professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. established a not-to-exceed cost of $155,510. This contract is fully supported within the City’s FY 2025–2026 General Plan Internal Services Fund (Fund 60008) Adopted Budget.
