The purpose of this article is to establish an expedited procedure
for the application, review and issuance of restricted on-street parking
areas for parking by a handicapped person, which person has been issued
a windshield placard or wheelchair symbol license plate for the vehicle
owned by the handicapped person, or a vehicle owned by a member of
the immediate family who resides with the handicapped person throughout
the Borough of Prospect Park.
Notwithstanding an applicant's compliance with §
84-46, above, an application for handicapped parking space shall be denied if:
A. Pursuant to applicable state or municipal law, the parking of motor
vehicles is prohibited at the location of the requested handicapped
parking space or the permitting of such parking would interfere with
the normal flow of traffic;
B. The applicant is the owner of the property at which the space/area/zone
is to be designated and has reasonable access to a driveway on the
property or reasonable access to some other area of the property which
may achieve the requested purpose of the application;
C. For purposes of the request for a designated handicapped parking
space, the applicant is not the operator of the vehicle for which
the handicapped parking space is required, unless the State of New
Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission has issued the applicant a windshield
placard or wheelchair symbol license plates for a vehicle owned by
the handicapped person or owned by another occupant of the residence
who is a member of the immediate family of the handicapped person;
D. For purposes of the request for a designated handicapped parking
space, the applicant resides, either as a tenant or an owner, which
provides off-street parking and has reasonable access to said parking
and/or an on-street handicapped parking space has already been designated;
or
E. Due to the lack of on-street parking available, the Borough is unable
to accommodate and/or approve the request.
