grant a permit for a Special Permit Parking Space, the Parking Enforcement
Supervisor shall consider the following factors, along with other
factors, which in the Parking Enforcement Supervisor’s discretion
are relevant: the proximity of the affected properties to available
public or private off-street parking; the availability to the affected
properties of private off-street parking solutions; the availability
of sufficient street width and capacity to assure the free movement
of general vehicular traffic, fire, other public safety and public
works vehicles; potential interference with access to fire hydrants
and visibility of stop signs and traffic at or near intersections.
