ANALYSIS OF ISSUES
• Eligibility
The resident at 42 Van Buren Avenue South has made application to have a disabled parking zone installed
on the street directly in front of their property to ease in vehicle loading/unloading and minimize travel
distance from the residence to the street. A doctor has certified that the applicant is disabled, and is therefore
eligible for the disabled parking zone to be marked as requested.
• Location
The disabled parking zone will be located directly in front of 42 Van Buren Avenue South, see the attached
map. City staff have reviewed this location and determined that the disabled zone can be marked as
requested.
• Notification
Residents within a 350 -foot radius of the proposed parking zone have been notified of this application and
the pending council action. To date staff has received no objections to installation of the proposed disabled
parking zone and has received one statement of support for the resident.
• Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution authorizing the disabled parking zone at 42 Van Buren Avenue
South.
