ANALYSIS: City Council Resolution 79-89 outlines warrants for assigning on-street handicap parking. In order to assign'an on-street handicap parking space all of the following warrants must be met: 1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of a valid license plate for "Disabled Persons" or "Disabled Veterans" issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles on the vehicle. 2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the disabled persons' place of residence. 3. Subject residence must not have off-street parking available or off-street space that may be converted into disabled parking. 4. Applicant must provide a signed statement from a medical doctor that the disabled person is unable (even with the aid of crutches, braces, walker, wheelchair or similar support) to travel more than 50 feet between his or her home and automobile without the assistance of a second person. 5. Applicant must pay an initial fee of $ 50.00 to cover the cost of field investigation, H:\WORDI'ILh'�VUI3WOILRS\TPC\TPC Items\MAY 2004.DOC installation, maintenance and future removal. 6. Applicant must pay an annual fee of $25.00, after the first year, to cover the cost of the yearly investigation to confirm the present need for the handicapped parking zones. Staff met with Mrs. Lockett at the site to review the application. Mrs. Lockett stated that she suffers from severe osteoporosis and that she runs the risk of shattering her bones with any fall she might suffer. She also stated that her spinal chord is in misalignment due to arthritis. Mrs. Lockett also stated that one of her knees has been reinforced with a special surgical screw since she had a car accident in 1985. She uses a cane to aid her walking. Mrs. Lockett is 53 years old. At the present time, there exists a concrete driveway that leads to an attached one-car garage at their property (see attached sketch). Mrs. Lockett stated that her garage is filled with stored items. She also stated that parking space in front of her house is not always available for her to park and she sometimes has to park a block away, but it makes it very difficult for her to walk this far. Staffs opinion is that Mrs. Lockett does have on-site parking facility. Based on this reasoning, their request for the on-street handicap parking is not justified. Staff is recommending denial of this request. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Traffic, Parking and Safety Commission review this application and concur with staffs denial of the on-street handicap-parking request in front of 11669 Elm Street. � H:\WOIiDFII.E\PUBWORRti\TPC\TPCI[cros�N1AY2004.DOC I 30' N.T.S. ��_ a � — . �' � w °�`' ' ':< a . , � � � �+CONCRETE . � , � w v. e .
