The purpose of this chapter is to establish rules and regulations
applicable within the city to ensure that suitable on and off-street
parking areas are provided and identified for the exclusive use of
physically handicapped persons.
(Ord. 133 § 1, 1977)
There is established a uniform color coding system identifying
parking spaces necessary to facilitate use by physically handicapped
persons. Such color identification shall consist of blue painted curbs
together with other identifying symbols and standards as are specified
in this chapter.
(Ord. 133 § 2, 1977)
The traffic engineer shall designate special blue curb parking
spaces for the purpose of providing on-street parking for exclusive
use by physically handicapped persons where, in his judgment, such
spaces are necessary and appropriate.
(Ord. 133 § 4, 1977)
The city manager shall designate those parking stalls or spaces
in publicly owned, leased, or controlled off-street parking facilities,
which are to be reserved and identified as provided in this chapter
for exclusive use by physically handicapped persons.
(Ord. 133 § 5, 1977)
The city declares that there are privately owned and maintained
parking stalls or spaces which shall be required to be reserved and
identified, as provided in this chapter, for the exclusive use by
physically handicapped persons. The number, location and identification
of required spaces shall be determined by the city as part of the
issuance of any land use permit, and such determination shall become
a condition of approval of such permit.
(Ord. 133 § 6 1977)
Blue curb spaces shall be indicated by light blue paint on the
curb edge of the paved portion of the street. For further identification,
the International Symbol of Access may be painted on the light blue

than seventeen inches by twenty-two inches in size with lettering
not less than one inch in height shall be posted stating:
Unauthorized vehicles not displaying distinguishing license
plates or placards issued for physically handicapped persons will
be issued citations.
|
All signs shall be posted at a height of eighty inches from
the ground.
(Ord. 133 § 7(1), 1977)
Designation of blue curb parking stalls in publicly financed
off-street parking facilities shall be made by posting immediately
adjacent to, and visible from such facilities, a sign consisting of
the International Symbol of Access.
In addition, a sign not less than seventeen inches by twenty-two
inches in size must be posted either at the entrance to the parking
facility or immediately adjacent to and visible from the reserved
stall(s), which states with lettering not less than one inch in height:

(Ord. 133 § 7(2), 1977)

department, cause the removal of a violator's automobile from the
stall reserved and identified for handicapped persons to the nearest
public garage.
A sign must be posted at the entry to all off-street parking
facilities to the effect that the facility is subject to public traffic
regulations and control.
