Staff reviewed the application and conducted a site inspection (see attached photos). ANALYSIS: The applicant has access to a parking facility that can be accessed through an unpaved alley way. The resident has no access through the front along Cortland Street. Cortland Street is wide enough to allow outside parking. In addition, depending on the physical disability and certain physical limitation, replacing the parkway with concrete walkway along Cortland Avenue, may not be necessary. However, if the recipient uses a wheelchair as a mode of transportation, then, a concrete pad leading to the front walkway of the house may be required. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Traffic, Parking and Public Safety Commission review this application and concur with staff's approval of the on- street disabled parking request in front of 4330 Cortland Street with the condition that if the recipient uses a wheelchair, then the resident needs to install a concrete pad adjacent to the existing curb on the parkway. 4330 Cortland Street Garage (a-)- Alley Way b Dear resident: City of LYNWOOD � ALL- AMERICA CRY c-A City Meeting C�a��enges o' ' 11330 BULLIS ROAD I f LYNWOOD, CALIFORNIA 90262 (310) 603 -0220 Per your request, attached is the application for disabled person on- street parking in residential areas.
