6. Discussion and Background
A disabled resident has submitted a request for blue curb along the frontage of 1025 E. Chalynn Avenue. The 1000 block of E. Chalynn Avenue is situated between S. Cambridge Street and S. Gardner Drive and consists of single-family residential properties.
The property has a single-car driveway, which is utilized by multiple caregivers rotating through the home daily. The resident has provided substantial evidence demonstrating the need for a blue curb parking spot on the street adjacent to their home, including to accommodate an ACCESS OC van for pickup and drop-off services.
It should be noted that blue curb is still public parking and may be utilized by anyone with a disabled decal or placard on their vehicle. In the event that the resident no longer requires the blue curb, they are to contact the Public Works Department so that it may be removed.
Based on these considerations, staff recommends that the City Traffic Commission approve the installation of 22 feet of blue curb along the frontage of 1025 E. Chalynn Avenue.
