ITEM 4-A
A. REQUEST:
Lulin Ignacio, West Covina Resident
THAT PARKING ON E. SHAMWOOD STREET FROM N. TOLAND AVENUE TO
N. MARDINA STREET BE RESTRICTED TO PERMIT ONLY PARKING EVERY
DAY, SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
FINDINGS:
Due to complaints regarding increased parking problems caused by the adjacent apartment
complex, the City has been requested to prohibit parking on Shamwood Street from Toland
Avenue to Mardina Street except by permit (see Exhibit A). Residents from the apartment
complex park their vehicles on Shamwood Street adjacent to the homes, interrupting street
sweeping, making it difficult for the homeowners to find parking adjacent to their home, as
well as leaving trash and debris behind.
In response to a request to restrict parking to permit only on Shamwood Street, a postcard
survey of the 34 affected properties was conducted. Based on the survey, 19 properties
(56%) responded in favor of permit parking Sunday through Saturday, every day, and 15 of
the properties did not reply to the survey. The City's policy requires that more than 50% of
the affected properties be in favor of the parking prohibition.
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 includes the issuance of four (4) 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.
