Mr. Roberto Gonzalez, resident of 1036 Hoover Avenue has requested a blue curb handicap
parking space in front of his residence due to physical limitations. The residence is located on
the west side of Hoover Avenue near the northwest corner of Hoover Avenue and W. 11t Street
within Residential Permit Parking District "Cr. Mr. Gonzalez possesses a valid disabled person
placard from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Staff visited the site and verified that the residence does not have a driveway or garage to
accommodate a vehicle. Currently there are on -street disabled parking spaces provided at
1048 Roosevelt Avenue (two spaces) and 1140 Coolidge Avenue (one space). However, these
locations are approximately 600 and 700 linear feet respectively from Mr. Gonzalez's residence.
Based on the site evaluation, staff has determined that accessible parking is not available on
the property.
At their meeting on February 12, 2014, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the
staff recommendation to install blue curb handicap parking space with sign in front of the
residence at 1036 Hoover Avenue.
If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works.
