DIRECT the LADOT, upon Council adoption of the Resolution establishing the District, to post the parking restrictions set forth above in Recommendation 3.a. and 3.c. without petition and without further actions by the City Council.

7.

DISCUSSION

Councilmember Cedillo submitted a letter to LADOT requesting the emergency Establishment of a Temporary Preferential Parking District to provide relief from the immediate safety related displacement of the residents along Park Row Drive from the temporary elimination of parking required by LADWP in order to allow for safe passage of large vehicles through the neighborhood. The parking impact is one from which the residents require immediate, short­term relief. The Councilmember believes that residents deserve immediate relief from this situation during the 2 Vi year construction project and that the establishment of this TPPD is the only viable and rapid option to address the problem.

BACKGROUND

The establishment of TPPD No. 244, pursuant to LAMC Section 80.58.d, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption, under Article lll.l.a.3 of the 2002 Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines.

The City Council has the authority, pursuant to LAMC Section 80.58.d, to establish TPPDs by resolution "to provide relief for residents who suffer an excessive parking impact... as the

The Honorable City Council December 8, 20153

result of any conditions which impact fewer than six blocks and which, in the judgment of the Council member of the District and after consultation with the Parking Administrator, deserve immediate relief until a permanent solution can be found."

COORDINATION

The Councilmember and his staff have consulted with LADOT regarding the parking problems in this area and have concluded that a TPPD is the best possible solution to address the residents' parking concerns at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT

Revenue from the sale of permits will cover the cost of implementing and administering TPPD No. 244. If motorists are cited for violating the posted signs, some additional General Fund revenue could result.

Dear Resident:

Subject: Elysian Reservoir Water Quality Improvement Project (Project)Parking Modifications on Park Row Drive

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) will be temporarily modifying the street parking on Park Row Drive from Grand View Drive to approximately 500-feet northwest of Grand View Drive. The parking modification will be in effect starting September 21,2015 and throughout the construction of the Project to early 2018. A new floating cover will be installed within the Elysian Reservoir Complex.

Project Overview

The Project consists of installing a new chlorosulfonated polyethylene floating cover over the existing reservoir. The Project will also include the demolition of existing structures; abandonment of existing pipeline; construction of two hydraulic control buildings, two valve vaults, 900 linear feet of 48-inch bypass pipeline, rockfall barrier, reservoir floor and slope repaving, perimeter and park road repaving, debris basin grading, security upgrades, and landscaping.

Why are Parking Modifications Necessary?

The Project’s haul route necessitates the use of Park Row Drive to turn northeast on Grand View Drive to access the reservoir facility. The turn onto Grand View Drive is very difficult for construction vehicles due to the turning radius being obstructed by parked vehicles. By modifying parking on Park Row Drive, construction vehicles can access Grand View Drive with greater efficiency and without the risk of damaging parked vehicles.

The temporary loss of parking will be mitigated as described below.

Park Row Drive Parking Modification Details

* Starting at the bridge near the intersection of Park Row Drive and Grand View Drive (Bridge) to approximately 150-feet northwest on Park Row Drive, parking on the west side of the street is currently designated as “Residential Parking Only." LADWP will be re-designating this area as temporary “No Parking from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Except Saturday and Sunday)". Immediately to approximately 100-feet North-West, street parking will temporarily be designated as "No Parking Except for Residents of Park Row Drive."
