SECTION 8110 OF THE ROSEMEAD
MUNICIPAL CODE
THE CITY -COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. 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.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 12th day of October
