TC - Item 2A - Review of Request for 20 Minute Parking Zone at 8424 Garvey Avenuea
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: JONATHAN WU, PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER
DATE: May 5, 2016
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF REQUEST FOR 20 MINUTE PARKING ZONE (GREEN CURB)
8424 GARVEY AVENUE
SUMMARY
Staff received a request for the installation of an on- street 20- minute parking zone curb
marking (green curb) in front of mixed -use residence /business at 840818416 Garvey
Avenue. The requesting party is the owner of neighboring business located at 8424 Garvey
Avenue. This request has been forwarded to the Traffic Commission for review as staff
found that the request does not warrant the installation of time - restricted parking curb
marking in addition to the two -hour restriction currently in place for Garvey Avenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Traffic Commission direct the Engineering Division how to
proceed with the request for the installation of a 20- minute green curb marking in front of
8408/8416 Garvey Avenue.
ANALYSIS
Garvey Avenue is a major arterial in a commercial district. Currently Garvey Avenue is
restricted for two -hour parking and has adequate signage. The requested location for the
20- minute parking zone curb marking (green curb) is abutting 8424 Garvey Avenue to the
west in front of 8408/8416 Garvey Avenue. The nature of the business at 8424 Garvey is
automobile sales and services. There is currently green curb painted in front of the
business. There are no available records to indicate the existing green curb marking was
ordered by the City.
A field review and interviews with the business owner and property owners of the adjacent
properties where the green curb is requested were utilized by Public Works Department
when reviewing time - restricted parking application with the following considerations:
1. The parking demand for the residents and businesses on Garvey Avenue
2. The proximity from the applicant's business to the intended location

3. The impact to the business /residents directly in front of the requested location
4. The on- street parking is currently restricted to two -hour parking with adequate
signage
5. The line of sight for egress from the properties
6. The natures of the businesses in the area, e.g., dry cleaning, food -to -go restaurants,
and Post Office.
The Public Works Department has determined that the demand for parking on Garvey
Avenue is high. The intended location for the green curb is further away from the existing
green curb in front of the auto sales business and likely will impact the business and
residents next door'. The current two -hour parking restriction is compatible with zoning and
the nature of the business in the area. The sight line for vehicles traveling on eastbound
Garvey Avenue is likely restricted more by the existing parking in front of 8424 Garvey
Avenue than that 8408/8416 Garvey Avenue. At the conclusion of the investigation, staff
did not find enough justifications for addition on- street 20 minute parking zone curb marking
as requested. Staff has referred this item to the Traffic Commission for consideration
PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS
Notifications of the recommendation were circulated to affected residents and businesses
within a 300 foot radius of the location.

Request for Additional 20 Minute Parking Zone Curb Marking
Dear Business Owner:
After a careful evaluation of the information provided in the request for additional 20 minute
parking zone curb marking, "green curb ", in front of 840818416 Garvey Avenue, the city has
determined that the request can not be granted for the following reason(s):
• The current two -hour parking zone is compatible with zoning and the nature of the
business in the area.
The demand for parking on Garvey Avenue is high. The intended location for the
green curb is further away from the existing green curb in front of the auto sales
business to the west and likely will impact the business and residents next door.
Parking in front of 8408/8416 poses less restriction on the sight line for vehicles on
eastbound Garvey Avenue than the existing parking in front of 8424 Garvey Avenue
You have the option to appeal the decision to the City's Traffic Commission at 7:00 PM, May
5, 2016 at the City Council Chambers, 8838 E. Valley Boulevard, Rosemead.
If you have any questions, please contact me at (626) 569 -2189.
Sincerely,
CITY OF ROSEMEAD
