Mr, Benjamin Cazares, resident of 541 "C" Avenue, has requested a blue curb handicap parking
space in front of his residence due to physical limitations. The residence is located on the
northeast corner of East 7th Street and "C' Avenue. Mr. Cazares possesses a valid disabled
person placard from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Staff visited the site and verified that the aforementioned residence does not have a driveway or
garage to accommodate a vehicle. Currently, there is on -street disabled parking spaces
provided at 319 East 7`h Street (one space). Per the City Council Disabled Persons Parking
Policy, since the total number of on -street handicap parking * a,.. (including the proposed
handicap parking space in front of 319 "C' Avenue) does not exceed 3% of the total number of
available on -street parking spaces in the area, Mr. Cazares's request is eligible for further
consideration.
At their meeting on June 11, 2014, the Traffic Safety Committee unanimously approved the staff
recommendation to install blue curb handicap parking space with signage adjacent to the corner
lot residence at 641 "C" Avenue.
If approved by City Council, all work will be performed by City Public Works.
