Requirement for Construction of Sidewalks, Curbs, and 1 Gutters in Conjunction with Building Construction. (a) The City Council of the City of Rosemead finds that there are areas in all zones within said City where sidewalks, curbs, gutters and street trees are lacking; that 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, sub- stantially aggravate or add to such traffic, drainage, street cleating, and maintenance problems, unless sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and street trees are provided concurrently with such construction; 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 constructing 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 (including swimming pools) estimated by the Building Department, on building plans, to have value of $2,000.00 or more, 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; 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 street fronting the improved portion of the subject lot. Removal of existing street trees located where establishment of sidewalk, curb, or gutter is required shall be accomplished at City expense. (c) When public right of way is needed to establish sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and street trees to City Standards, the applicant shall, prior to the issuance of a building permit, submit an irrevocable offer to dedicate the necessary street frontage. (d) The Director of Planning and the Building Inspector shall not issue a Certificate of Occupancy nor accept any structure for public utility connection, nor approve any structure or improvement for use unless and until the provisions of this section have been complied with or a bond or cash equivalent in sufficient sums to insure the installations required in subsection (b) hereof is filed with and accepted by the Planning Department PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 6, 1966 PAGE U of the City, or a modification theref : has been obtained, pursuant to the provisions of section 8111 of this code. 8111. (a) Any person desiring to obtain a modification from the provisions of section 8110 of this Code (Requirement for Construction of Sidewalks, Curbs, and Gutters, and Planting of Street Trees in Conjunction with Building Construction) may file with the Planning Commission a written application therefore. The Planning Commission shall give the applicant for such modification an oppor- tunity to be heard if he so desires, and thereafter may grant or deny the application for the modification, or may grant the same upon such conditions as the Planning Commission deems necessary for the preservation of the safety, health or property of the general public. (b) The Planning Commission upon such application, or on its own motion, may grant a modification from the provisions of this section for one or more of the following reasons: i. The construction of sidewalks or curbs and gutters and installation of street trees, in the area involved is included in a budgeted city project or within an approved assessment district. ii. Because of the peculiar circumstances of the property, the development of the surrounding property, or because of other similar reasons such sidewalks, curbs, gutters, or street trees can be best constructed or installed through use of an assessment proceeding. iii. Because of the location of the property the terrain or condition thereof, or other similar reasons, the construction of sidewalks or curbs and gutters and installation of street trees, would be impractical or unnecessary or would impose undue hardship on the owner of the property. (c) Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice of the decision of the Planning Commission concerning such modification application, any person affected thereby may appeal to the City Council, by filing a notice of appeal with the City Clerk. Except in case of an appeal filed by a governmental body or school district, such notice of appeal shall be accompanied by a $50.00 filing fee. (d) Unless the City Council, within thirty (30) days after notice of ap;eal has been filed, determines to grant a hearing or to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for rehearing the appeal shall be deemed dismissed and the decision of the Planning Commission shall thereupon become final. 0 0 PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 6, 1966 PAGE 5 MEETING (e) If the City Council determines to hear the appeal, ten (10) days written notice of such hearing shall be mailed by certified mail to the appellant and to all persons who requested such notice at the time of the hearing upon the application for modification before the Planning Commission. (f) The City Council may consider the appeal on the record, if any, made before the Planning Commission, or de novo; and thereafter the City Council may refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for further consideration or may reverse, affirm or modify the decision of the Planning Commission subject to the same standards and limitations imposed upon the Planning Commission by this section.. Except as herein expressly otherwise provided, the decision of the City Council shall be final.
