DISABLED PERSONS ON-STREET PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS - INSTRUCTIONS The City of Lynwood does not provide~on-street parking for private individuals. It must be emphasized that even "disabled parking zones" do not constitute "Personal reserved parking," and, that a_~ person with valid "disabled persons" license plates (DP or VT plates) may park in such stalls. -Persons parking in such stalls without valid DP or VT plates may be cited and towed away as resolved by City Council Resolution No. 77-89. Normally, in establishing on-street parking facilities for the disabled there shall be a reasonable determination made that the facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the .need is of an on-going nature. The intent is to prevent the pro- lifer`a ion of spec`i`al parking"stall`s -t'h'at"may~`be -i"nst~a`l1-ed~-for-a•-~----~--- -° -_ short-term purpose but later _a re seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily increases the City's maintenance and operations costs reduces available on-street parking for the general public and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program. However.,. exceptions may be made, in special hardship cases, provided all of the following conditions .exist: (1) Applicant (or .guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates 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 of.f-street parking available or off-street space that maybe 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 Jan initial fee of'$15.00 to cover ttiei cost"°` of field investigation, installation, maintenance and future removal. (6) Applicant must pay an annual fee of $10.00, after the first .year, to cover the cost of yearly investigation to confirm the pre- sent need for the handicapped parking zones.
