Ms. Lupe Sandoval, daughter of residents Jose and Adelia Acevedo of 405 "E" Avenue, has
requested a blue curb handicap parking space in front of her parent's residence due to physical
limitations. The residence is located on the east side of "E" Avenue at the southeast corner of
"E" Avenue and E 4th Street. Mrs. Acevedo possesses a valid disabled person placard from the
California Department of Motor Vehicles. According to Ms. Sandoval, Mr. Acevedo is in the
process of attaining a disabled person placard.
Staff visited the site to determine whether or not the Acevedo's driveway could accommodate a
vehicle and provide ADA access. Their driveway length inside their private property is
approximately 10 feet. The driveway width does not provide for accessible loading/unloading,
nor does it provide a minimum of 4 feet of clearance as required by ADA. Based on the site
evaluation, staff has determined that accessible parking is not available on the property,
Currently, there are no on -street handicap parking spaces provided nearby the Acevedo's
residence.
At their meeting on November 13, 2013, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved
the staff recommendation to install a blue curb handicap parking space in front of 405 "E"
Avenue.
If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works.
