(b)Is legally domiciled at a single-family residence in the District of Columbia that is her or his principal place of residence;

 

(c)Cannot avail herself or himself of any other form of transportation;

 

(d)Has no readily available parking within a distance that is reasonably accessible for the resident as determined by rules promulgated pursuant to this chapter; and

 

(e)Does not have off-street parking available in the form of a driveway, garage, or private parking space immediately adjacent to or on the premises of the single family dwelling where the individual with a disability resides.

 

2710.2The reserved space shall be in front of the applicant’s residence, if parking is permitted by law.

The Director shall give due consideration to the concerns of adjacent property owners regarding the space to be reserved.

 

2710.3No more than one (1) on-street parking space may be reserved pursuant to § 2710.1 for each single-family residence, even though more than one (1) qualified applicant may reside at the same residence.
