Explanation
Ms. Toni Palos, resident of 1338 E. 16th Street, has requested a blue curb
handicap parking space in front of her home. Ms. Palos is visually impaired and
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 accessible parking on the
property. Access to Ms. Palos' residence is provided off of N Avenue, just south
of E. 16th Street. 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.
