FINDINGS:
Several complaints have been received regarding problems associated with the athletic
field patrons using the Baldwin Park High School sport fields from residents of
Grovecenter Street, El Dorado Street, Ranchero Street, Alisal Street, Puente Avenue,
and La Sena Avenue. The patrons park their vehicles on these streets adjacent to the
homes, interrupting street sweeping, obstructing the line of sight of vehicles exiting
driveways, snaking it difficult for the homeowners to find parking adjacent to their
home, as well as leaving trash and debris behind.
In response to these complaints, the City initiated a post card survey to find out if these
residents were in favor of permit parking on their respective streets. A postcard survey
of the affected properties was conducted on the six street segments to determine their
desires. The proposed permit parking restriction would be in effect all day, Sunday
through Saturday. The following table shows the results of the survey with the street
segments approved for the permit parking in bold:

At present, Section 22-174 of the West Covina Municipal Code does allow for the
installation of signs prohibiting or restricting parking of vehicles on certain streets or
portions thereof. The requirements of this section include the issuance of four free
permits per dwelling unit. The permits must be displayed in plain view on the dash or
hanging from the rear view mirror. Since the permits are registered to a particular
address and not a particular vehicle, it may be used for visitor's vehicles as well.
