TC - Item 4A - Earle Ave CA Mission Inn Parking ConcernsROSEMEAD TRAFFIC COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
TO: TRAFFIC COMMISSION
FROM: CHRIS MARCARELLO, DEPUTY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: MAY 7, 2009
SUBJECT: EARLE AVENUE/CALIFORNIA MISSION INN PARKING CONCERNS
SUMMARY
City staff received a petition from Sheryl Blum, 4824 Earle Avenue, regarding parking
conditions along Earle Avenue north of Mission Drive and south of Grand Avenue. Ms.
Blum has asked that the Traffic Commission review the existing parking conditions and
identify possible alternatives for improving parking in this area.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Traffic Commission direct staff to continue outreach with
representatives at California Mission Inn and residents along Earle Avenue and provide a
quarterly status update on parking conditions in the area.
DISCUSSION
Residents along Earle Avenue, north of Mission Drive and south of Grand Avenue
submitted a petition asking staff to evaluate the parking conditions in their neighborhood.
The residents in this area maintain that employees of the nearby California Mission Inn
park along Earle Avenue, limiting parking for residents in this area.
After conducting field observations, staff found that Earle Avenue is heavily parked
adjacent to the California Mission Inn. However, in reviewing City documents staff learned
that this property was granted a parking exemption (Attachment 1) that reduced the
minimum number of parking spaces required at the site. This exemption remains in effect
to this date.
Staff met with Sheryl Blum to discuss parking issues on Earle Avenue. Ms. Blum has
suggested implementing a residential parking permit program for residents in this area.
Ms. Blum also asked the City for assistance discussing parking issues with representatives
at the California Mission Inn. City staff agreed to help communicate with residents in the
area and the California Mission Inn on parking issues. California Mission Inn
representatives have expressed a willingness to help in any way possible.
Ms. Blum has also indicated that her neighbors would be interested in discussing their
concerns related to neighborhood parking with the Traffic Commission. Residents have
been notified of this meeting and encouraged to attend to express their concerns regarding
parking concerns in the neighborhood.

Dear Mr. Saeki,
We, the residents of Earle Ave, formally request
enforced Resident Permit Parking only on the east side
of Earle Ave between Mission Rd and brand Ave. We
acknowledge the co-operation of the California mission
Inn, Rosemmud Manor, Medic 1, and the rehab center
but unfortunately a good will agreement cannot be
enforced as employees view themselves as the public.
Leaving no parking for the residential homeowners or
quests, 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. A situation

20NE EXCEPTION CASE
DATE OF *HEARINOi
April 4, 1960
APPLICANT'S PROP06AL: To establish operate, and maintain additions
to a home for the aged while pproviding less than the required off-
street parking in the R-3 (Unlimited Multiple Residence) and
A-1-5,000 (Light Agriculture 5,000 sq. ft, min.) Zones.
The existing and proposed uses are shown on the plot plan marked
Exhibit "A". The existing home accomodates 100 aged members and is
be expanded to a total of 186 members, 24 of which would be married
couples living in self-sufficient apartments. In addition, a staff
of employees numbering 46, living on and off the premises, is
anticipated. The total number of proposed parking spaces numbers
86 and is intended to serve the entire facility.
A strict interpretation of the parking requirements as stated in
the Zoning Ordinance would require 213 parking spaces for the 142
aged persons who will be living in the existing and proposed rest
home units (See Section 746) and 12 covered parking spaces for the
aged married couples living in the two room apartments (See Section
743). The employee parking would be calculated at 1 parking space
per each 2 employees, but it should be noted that many employees
will live on the premises. The applicant expects that 80 cars
could be parked on the streets surrounding the subject property
with no detriment to the adjacent property owners. Finally a 20
foot setback is shown on all sides of the subject property except
for the northeast corner parking area which shows a 10 foot setback.
This use is permitted in the C-3 (Unlimited Commercial) Zone as
a matter of course and in the A-1 (Light Agriculture) Zone with a
special permit, providing that in both cases the off-street parking
is in keeping with the ordinance requirements.
FACTUAL D ATR BE.tRING ON THI:i CASE ARE NOTED AS FOLLOWS :
The subject property consists of an entire block bounded by
E. Mission Dr. on the south, N. Delta St, on the west, E. Grand
avenue on the north, and N. Earle St, on the east. It is
developed with a home for the aged on the south half, with no
off-street parking except for that available in an existing
driveway and a single family residence on the north half. The
latter structure is to be removed.
The surrounding area in all directions is developed predomin-
ately to mixed residential uses except for a county water
district yard immediately west of the subject property.
2. The subject property is zoned R-3 and A-1-5,000 as established
by County Ordinance 4944 adopted on 6-17-47 and retained after
the incorporation of the City of Rosemead.
Zoning Case No. 608, a request for an addition to the original
home for the aged was granted by the Board of Supervisors in
the form of Ordinance No. 3683 on 9-17-40.
4. E. Mission Drive, though only a 75 feet wide secondary highway,
requires no widening along the subject property. The other
streets, N. Delta St., E. Grand Ave., and N. Earle St. are local
streets varying in width from 60 feet to 75 feet.
5. One hundred and thirth-five (135) notices of this hearing were
mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, on March 25, 1960,
to those persons whose names and mailing addresses appeared on
the latest available assessment roll of the County Assessor as
property owners of record within a 500-foot radius of the ex-
terior boundaries of the property under consideration.
Legal notice of this hearing was published in the Rosemead
Review on Thursday, March 18, 1960.
