' Currently, there are no on -street handicap parking spaces provided nearby Mr. Manlangit's residence. Per the City Council Disabled Persons Paridng Policy, since the total number of on -street handicap parking spaces (including the proposed handicap parking space in front of 905 E. 5th Street) would not exceed 3% of the total number of available on -street parking spaces in the area, Mr. Manlangit's request is eligible for further consideration.

Applicant (or guardian) must be in poese¢sion of valid license plates or placard for °disabled persons' or $disabled veterans". This condition Is met 2.
