MITCHELL) PREPARED BY: Stephen Manganiello, Engineering Division DISCUSSION: Mr. Thomas Mitchell, resident of 3517 Stockman St., has requested a blue curb handicap parking space in front of his home. Both of Mr. Mitchell's parents are disabled along with another resident currently living in the home. All three residents have valid Disabled Person Placards from the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles. Staff visited the site and observed that there is one accessible parking space available on the property. However, since three of the residents are disabled it does not appear that an adequate number of accessible parking spaces are available on the property. 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 not met. It shall be noted that handicap parking spaces do not constitute "personal reserved parking" and that any person with valid "disabled persons" license plates may park in handicap spaces. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff defers to the Traffic Safety Committee as to whether or not all three conditions of the City Council's Disabled Persons Parking Policy are met for this "Special Hardship" case. 1 EXHIBITS: 1.

The City Council may upon recommendation of the City Engineer, designate specially marked and posted on -street parking spaces for disabled persons pursuant to California Vehicle Code 21101, et seq. at the following facilities: 1. Government buildings serving the public such as administration buildings, public employment offices, public libraries, police stations, etc. Hospitals and convalescent homes with more than 75-bed capacity. Medical facilities and doctors' offices staffed by a maximum of five practitioners. Zones shall be located to serve a maximum number of facilities on one block. Community service facilities such as senior citizens service centers, etc. 5. Accredited vocational training and educational facilities where no off- street parking is provided for disabled persons. 6. Employment offices for major enterprises employing more. than 200 persons. 7. Public recreational facilities including municipal swimming pools, recreation halls, museums, etc. 8. Public theaters, auditoriums, meeting halls, arenas, stadiums with more than 300 seating capacity. 9. Other places of assembly such as schools and churches. 10. Commercial and/or office building(s) with an aggregate of more than 50,000 square feet of usable floor space. Zone shall be located to serve a maximum number of facilities on one block. 11. Hotels catering to daily guests, maintaining a ground floor lobby and a switchboard that is operated 24 hours per day. 9 12. A hotel or apartment house catering to weekly or monthly guests and containing more than 30 separate living units. In addition, disabled persons parking spaces may be provided within all publicly owned, leased or controlled off-street parking facilities as specified in the General Requirements. General Requirements Each disabled persons parking space shall be indicated by blue paint and a sign (white on blue) showing the international symbol of accessibility (a profile view of a wheelchair with occupant). Where installed under the above criteria the total number of disabled persons curb parking spaces will be limited to 3% of the total number of on -street parking spaces available in the area and shall be distributed uniformly within the area. Disabled persons parking will not be installed at locations with a full-time parking prohibition. When a disabled persons parking zone is installed where a part-time parking prohibition is in effect, the disabled persons parking zone will have the same time restrictions as the part-time parking prohibition. The cost of installing disabled persons parking will be assumed by the City on public streets and public off-street parking facilities. In establishing on -street parking facilities for the disabled there shall be a reasonable determination made that the need is of an on -going nature. The intent is to prevent the proliferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short-term purpose but later are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily increases the City's maintenance and operations costs, reduce available on - street parking for the general public, and detract from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program. Special Hardship Cases It is not the intention of the City to provide personal reserved parking on the public right-jof-way, especially in residential areas. However, exceptions may be made, in special hardship cases, provided all of the following conditions exists: (1) Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of valid license plates for "disabled persons" or "disabled veterans." (2) The proposed disabled parking space must be in front of the applicant's (or guardian's) place of residence. 10 (3) Subject residence must not have useable off-street parking available or off-street space available that may be converted into disabled parking. NOTE:It must be emphasized that such parking spaces do not constitute "personal reserved parking" and that any person with valid "disabled persons" license plates may park in the above stalls.
