Section 8110 of the Rosemead Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: § 8110. REQUIREMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS, CURBS AND GUTTERS AND PLANTING OF STREET TREES IN CONJUNCTION WITH BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. (a) The City Council finds that there are areas in all zones within the City of Rosemead where sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street trees are lacking (or in such condition as to need repair or replacement). The lack of adequate sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street trees is detrimental to the public' health, safety and welfare by the creation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic hazards, poor drainage and difficulty in street cleaning and maintenance; that the construction of additional buildings, dwellings, additions, garages, or.accessory.buildings will, in most instances, substantially aggravate or add to such traffic, drainage, street cleaning and maintenance problems, unless sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street trees are provided in conformity with present standards of the City, and that the public health, safety and welfare will be best protected and served by requiring the construction of sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and the installation of street trees in all instances of new construction. (b) Any owner, lessee, occupant or agent con- structing or causing the construction, in any zone, of any building, dwelling, building addition or repair (whether interior or exterior), garage, carport, or other accessory building or structure (excluding swimming pools) estimated by the Building Department on building plans to have a value of $10,000 or more, shall close all driveway approaches not in use or which are considered unsafe for ingress or egress; shall. construct sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and shall install street trees in accordance with city standards, unless sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street trees already exist, on the street frontage of the parcel of land on which the building or structure is to be constructed; and such improvements substantially conform to city standards and are in good condition and repair; except that on lots exceeding one-half acre in size, said sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street trees need be installed only along that portion of the subject lot. Removal of existing street trees located where establishment of sidewalk, curb or gutter is required shall be provided by the City. SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of the ordinance.
