FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department, Transportation Engineering received a request to have a disabled persons parking space installed at their residence at 1314 Francis Street in Crockett. Subsequently, staff conducted an assessment to determine if the resident qualified for the space. This included verification of the resident's disabled status, and an onsite determination that their driveway was unusable for purposes of a safe transition to the vehicle. Therefore, designation of a disabled persons parking zone is found to be supported. Entering/exiting the vehicle from the elevated curb/sidewalk in front of the residence will allow for a safer/easier transition into/out of the passenger seat of the resident’s non-accessible vehicle.
