Committee approves disabled parking sign at 3824 Peach Blossom Street after staff site review
Summary
Staff recommended approval of a signed disabled parking space at 3824 Peach Blossom Street despite a driveway slope exceeding the preferred threshold; the committee accepted staff’s recommendation by voice vote.
The National City Traffic Safety Committee approved staff’s recommendation to install a blue-curb disabled parking space at 3824 Peach Blossom Street after staff confirmed dimensions and assessed adjacent parking availability.
Committee members heard from a representative for the resident, identified in the record as speaking for Gloria Garcia. The staff site visit measured the driveway and garage. Staff reported the driveway dimensions were adequate for curbside parking but that the driveway slope averaged about 6 percent, exceeding the committee’s typical 2 percent preference for a signed on-site accessible space; the garage measured 19 by 11 feet, short of the 20 by 12 feet standard for an on-site accessible garage.
Staff concluded the curbside space, rather than garage access, met the practical needs for the resident and recommended approval. The report also noted only one additional curbside parking space already existed nearby and the addition would not exceed a local metric threshold for area parking impact.
A committee member moved to accept staff’s recommendation; a second was given and the committee approved the request by voice vote. Staff said it will follow up with the resident about next steps for signage and placement.
