Title: Cedar Street 10 Minute Parking Space Details: Diane Wintzer, the new tenant and business owner of Wintzer Acupuncture, has requested that the northernmost parking space on the east side of NE Cedar Street between 4th and 5th Avenues be designated as a handicap space. The existing space was designated as a 10-minute parking space at the request of the prior tenant. She has also requested that, if the space is not converted to a disabled space that it be returned to a 2 hour slot so that there is more opportunity for parking directly in front of the clinic and near the curb ramp at 5th and Cedar. While there are currently two 10 minute parking spaces on this block, staff would note that the majority of the parking spaces on this block have been changed to a 3 hour limit. While staff finds that a disabled spot is physically feasible in this location, staff will need to assess the current needs of the public in this location to determine if there is merit to this designation.

Title

Cedar Street 10 Minute Parking Space

Details:  Diane Wintzer, the new tenant and business owner of Wintzer Acupuncture, has requested that the northernmost parking space on the east side of NE Cedar Street between 4th and 5th Avenues be designated as a handicap space.  The existing space was designated as a 10-minute parking space at the request of the prior tenant.  She has also requested that, if the space is not converted to a disabled space that it be returned to a 2 hour slot so that there is more opportunity for parking directly in front of the clinic and near the curb ramp at 5th and Cedar.  While there are currently two 10 minute parking spaces on this block, staff would note that the majority of the parking spaces on this block have been changed to a 3 hour limit.  While staff finds that a disabled spot is physically feasible in this location, staff will need to assess the current needs of the public in this location to determine if there is merit to this designation.  Staff tends to not convert a parking space with a specially identified time limit, such as a lone 10 minute parking space, into a disabled space.
