Planning & Zoning Application Process Design

The City of Sierra Madre has initiated a subcontract to redesign its Accessory Dwelling Unit application workflows, forms, and review procedures to align with state-mandated timelines and transparency requirements. This project focuses on streamlining the entire planning and zoning application process to ensure efficiency, compliance, and public accessibility, with the goal of reducing delays and improving the experience for residents seeking to develop ADUs. The work will involve a comprehensive overhaul of existing systems to meet California’s housing goals and regulatory standards, including the implementation of clear, standardized procedures and digital tools that enhance accountability and ease of use. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541611, indicating it involves architectural, engineering, and related services, specifically tailored to municipal planning and zoning reform. Performance of the work is centered in Sierra Madre, California, with a zip code of 91024, and the project was posted on May 28, 2026. Although no solicitation number or set-aside information is provided, the effort reflects a strategic initiative by the city to modernize its administrative processes in response to state-level housing directives, ultimately supporting increased housing supply and regulatory compliance within the community.
