Parking is a problem on Orange Grove Place. On-site parking requirements are based on the number of bedrooms. The problem is that, in our opinion, the developer persists in identifying rooms as home offices/rec rooms rather than as bedrooms. For example, the front Unit 1 is a one-bedroom plus a home office; we believe that it will be used as a bedroom, and should count toward the parking requirements.


Gold Line commuters park both on Orange Grove Place and on Orange Grove Ave., making parking very limited. The development at 817 Orange Grove Place will add to this problem.


The Parking Map illustrates how parking restrictions have forced street-parking commuters to park in our neighborhood.

Parking is restricted to 2, 3, or 4 hours on Meridian, Glendon Way, Glendon Ct., Orange Grove Ave., (north of El Centro), and on El Centro (east of Orange Grove Ave.).
