Introduction
Businesses and not-for-profit organizations with establishments in the City of St. Louis and who otherwise meet the criteria listed below may apply for a Non-Residential Disabled Parking Space Permit at the location of their operations.
Eligibility & Application
The following are eligible for a Non-Residential Disabled Parking Space Permit:1. Any owner or manager of any public or private building providing fewer than 25 off-street parking spaces;
2. Any not-for-profit organization with offices providing fewer than 25 off-street parking spaces.
The following must be provided with the completed application:
- The name and address of the business or not-for-profit organization;
- Specification of number and location of non-residential disabled parking spaces requested;
- Payment of the fee for businesses at $100.00 for the first year if a for-profit business (there is no fee for eligible not-for-profit organizations;
- Copy of a recognition of Section 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service if a not-for-profit tax exempt organization (not-for-profit organizations are not required to pay a fee);
- Approval of the property owner for the designation of the parking spaces requested for disabled parking if the business or not-for-profit organization does not own the location.
The Office on the Disabled exercises discretion about whether to grant an application depending on circumstances in the affected area, even if the application is otherwise complete. Circumstances at the location, such as, for example, no parking on that side of the street or items such as driveways, fire hydrants, proximity to stop signs or crosswalks, and the presence of multiple other non-residential disabled parking spaces may make designating a non-residential parking space at the specified location impossible or impractical.
After the application is verified and processed, the Street Inspector will check out the location for designated parking spaces. If approved, signs will be installed within two to four weeks.
Usage
Only the vehicle with disabled placards or license plates may park in the designated space. If vehicles use the spaces, the illegally parked vehicle may receive a ticket with fine of $50.00 to $200.00.
Please call 911 to report illegal vehicles in a space. Vehicles otherwise eligible to park in the designated spaces may not when such is prohibited by such things as street cleaning schedules, no parking signs, snow route or emergency evacuation rules issued by the Police or Fire Department, etc.
