Mr. Jerome Johnson has requested a blue curb handicap parking space in front of his residence
at 3819 Peach Blossom Street due to physical limitations.
Staff performed a site evaluation. Staff visited the site and verified that the aforementioned
residence does not have an accessible driveway or garage to accommodate his vehicles. He
has stated that parking anywhere aside from the front of his residence is a physical burden due
to his condition. Based on the site evaluation, staff has determined that accessible parking is
not available on the property.
There are no blue curb handicap parking spaces within approximately a 300 foot radius of Mr.
Romero's residence. Per the City Council Disabled Persons Parking Policy, since the total
number of on -street handicap parking spaces (including the proposed handicap parking space
in front of 3819 Peach Blossom Street) would not exceed 3% of the total number of available
on -street parking spaces in the area, Mr. Johnson's request is eligible for further consideration.
Mr. Johnson was not available to speak on behalf of his item at the Traffic Safety Committee
Meeting. There were no additional members of the public present at the meeting to speak
regarding this item.
At their meeting on September 11, 2013, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved
the staff recommendation to install a blue curb handicap space with signage in front of 3819
Peach Blossom Street.
If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works.
