Ms. Leticia Peregrina, resident of 340 D Avenue, has requested installation of a
blue curb handicap parking space in front of her home. Ms. Peregrina has back
problems (four herniated discs) and a prosthesis in one of her knees. Ms.
Peregrina has a valid Disabled Person Placard from the State of California
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Staff visited the site and observed that there is no "useable" parking available on
the property. There is no driveway or garage to accommodate a vehicle.
Currently, there are no blue curb handicap parking spaces provided nearby.
The City Council has adopted a policy, which is used to evaluate requests for
handicap parking spaces. The City Council Policy requirements for "Special
Hardship" cases are as follows:
1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates for
"disabled persons" or "disabled veterans". This condition is met.
2. The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the applicant's
(or guardian's) place of residence. This condition is met.
3. The residence must not have useable off-street parking available or an off-
street space available that maybe converted into disabled parking. This
condition is met.
All work will be completed by the City Public Works Department.
