Ginkgo Stonehouse Residential Project (TTM No. 65348)

The Ginkgo Stonehouse Residential Project, identified by State Clearinghouse Number 2023100084 and Tentative Tract Map 65348, involves the development of nine single-family residential detached lots on approximately nine acres of land located at 935 and 965 East Grand View Avenue in Sierra Madre, California. The scope of work includes the demolition of four existing single-family detached units. A critical component of the project is the designation of approximately four acres as a non-buildable area, which will be deed restricted to prohibit development and limit activities to passive open space and maintenance, such as brush management and fuel modification. The City of Sierra Madre served as the lead agency and approved the project on January 27, 2026, following the completion of a Final Environmental Impact Report in December 2025. This report ensured compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, and the subsequent Notice of Determination issued on January 28, 2026, concluded that the project would not have a significant environmental effect, provided that specific mitigation measures are implemented as conditions of approval. Project administration is managed by Clare Lin, Director of Planning, with additional coordination involving VCS Environmental and Caltrans.
