Report
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
DATE: September 4, 2003 (Council Meeting 9- 17 -03)
SUBJECT: Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions: Handicap
Exemption
DISCUSSION
A. Handicap Parking / Street Sweeping Parking Restrictions
The primary purpose for a handicap license or placard is to
allow vehicles to park in a designated handicap parking space.
A vehicle with a handicap license or placard is not exempt
from any parking prohibitions. [Note: Such vehicles are exempt
from limited time parking restrictions.] Accordingly, such
vehicles parked in violation of the City's street sweeping
parking restrictions, are subject to citation.
B. Committee Recommendation
Concerns have been expressed regarding the hardship posed by
the City's street sweeping parking restrictions upon persons
with a handicap. The matter was discussed by the
Transportation and Streets Committee [Councilmembers Harper
and Millhouse ] on September 2. The Committee recommended that
the City Council adopt a policy to exempt vehicles with
handicap licenses or placards from the City's street sweeping
parking restrictions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the exemption of vehicles with a handicap license or
placard, from the City's Street Sweeping Parking Restriction and
direct staff to include this new policy in the next update of the
City Council's Policies Resolution.
