TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEME D CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BILL CR E, CITY MANAGER
DATE: MAY 4, 2005
•
RE: APPROVAL OF MODIFICATION TO EXISTING RED CURB ON NEVADA
STREET (ROSEMEAD/IVAR)
The residents of Nevada Street, between Rosemead Boulevard and Ivar Avenue, submitted
a petition to the City expressing their concerns regarding overflow parking from Sea
Harbour Seafood Restaurant onto their block, particularly between the hours of 10 a.m. and
2 p.m., and that employees park in front of their homes for extended periods of time during
the day.
Staff met with representatives of the residents on the block, along with the management of
Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant. Several issues were discussed, including encouraging
employees of the restaurant to park in the restaurant's parking lot and for restaurant
management to work with neighboring commercial property owners to obtain additional off-
street parking in nearby, under utilized parking lots.
Staff also reviewed the amount of red curb adjacent to the restaurant and whether or not
removal of some of the red curb was feasible in order to increase the amount of parking
near the restaurant.
Staff recommended to the Traffic Commission that they consider removing 65 feet of red
curb on the north side and adding 40 feet of red curb on the south side of Nevada Street
immediately west of Rosemead Boulevard, as shown on the attached exhibit. Although this
yields a net increase of only one parking space on Nevada Street, it does provide three
additional parking spaces immediately next to the restaurant.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Traffic Commission's recommendation to remove 65 feet of red curb on the
north side and add 40 feet of red curb on the south side of Nevada Street immediately west
of Rosemead Boulevard.

Rosemead Traffic Commission
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS
FROM: JOANNE ITAGAKI, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DEPUTY
DATE: March 23, 2005
SUBJECT: Request for Parking Restrictions on Nevada Street Between
Rosemead Boulevard and Ivar Avenue
REQUEST
A request was received from residents of Nevada Street between Rosemead
Boulevard and Ivar Avenue. The residents submitted a petition (attached) to the
City Engineer indicating that on-street parking is occupied especially between
10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The vehicles of the employees and patrons of Sea
Harbour Seafood Restaurant overflow onto Nevada Street.
CONDITIONS
Nevada Street is a 30-foot wide east/west residential roadway. Parking is
allowed on both sides of the street with street sweeping parking restrictions.
There is also red curb on the north side of Nevada Street immediately west of
Rosemead Boulevard.
An exhibit will be provided at the regular meeting of the Traffic Commission
depicting the existing conditions on Nevada Street.
DISCUSSION
City staff, including the City Engineer, reviewed Nevada Street between
Rosemead Boulevard and Ivar Avenue. These field observations identified that
on-street parking, especially on the east end of the street, is heavily used during
the early afternoon hours.
The City Engineer and Planning Director then met with resident's representatives
and the management of Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant. Several items were
discussed at this meeting including, encouraging e'ployees to park in the
restaurant's parking lot and working with adjacent businesses to obtain additional
off-street parking. In addition, the City Engineer requested the Traffic
Commission review the existing red curb to determine if some of this red curb
could be reduced to provide additional parking.

Rosemead City Hall
8900 E. Vallev Blvd.
Rosemead, CA 91770
We, the undersigned, are residents of the 8900 block of Nevada Avenue in Rosemead,
and would like to call your attention to the fact that we have major parking problems on
our street between 10:00am and 2:00pm, every day. Patrons of Sea Harbour Seafood
Restaurant, : 939 Rosemead Blvd., fill the restaurant's parking lot and then overflow onto
our meet. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that restaurant employees park in front
of our homes for long periods of time. if we have visitors, they seldom get to park in
front of our homes, but have to park on Ivar Street or the Recreation Center parking lot.

Ms. Gentry stated that after speaking with the restaurant manager who stated
that the employees would not be parking on the street, the parking situation at
this location has improved. However, she would like to have the Commission
re-visit this location, should the problem arise again.
It was moved by Commissioner Knapp, seconded by Commissioner Matsdorf,
and carried unanimously to approve the Traffic Engineer's recommendation,
and re-visit this location again in 6 to 9 months.
