Subject to subsections (e)(2) and (I) of this section, all restricted parking spaces created pursuant to this section shall require approval by a vote of the city council to be effective. Upon receiving an initial application, the alderman of the ward in which the restricted parking space will be located may introduce an ordinance proposing approval of the creation of a restricted parking space. However, the city council shall not take action on the ordinance to create a restricted parking space during the 30 day period required for the comptroller to complete the parking study.
(1) After introduction of an ordinance described in subsection (c), the comptroller shall arrange for a parking study if:
(4-i) the applicant has tendered the required fee for restricted parking,
and
(2jj) the comptroller concludes that the above conditions (1) through (3) of subsection (b) of this section are met and the application is otherwise acceptable.
Such parking study shall be completed within 30 days after the conditions in subsections (d)(1) and (d)(2) are met and shall include a determination regarding the feasibility and, if appropriate, the proposed location of a proposed restricted parking space. The determination shall be based upon the number of restricted parking spaces currently installed on the residential street; the proximity of the requested restricted parking space to crosswalks, curb cuts, alleys, intersections and fire hydrants; and any other information concerning the applicant's needs and local traffic restrictions. The determination may also be based upon the extent of the alternative accessible off-street parking at the applicant's primary residence.
Such parking study shall be completed within 30 days after the conditions in subsections (d)(1)(i) and (d)(1)(ii) are met.

(I) Any holder of a permit for disability parking who changes a residence in the city prior to the expiration of that permit may apply to the department of finance for a transfer of the permit and restricted parking signs to the holder's new residence. The department of finance shall forward a copy of the application to the alderman of the ward in which the signage is being transferred. Eligibility for transfer of the permit and restricted parking signs is subject to completion of a parking study by the comptroller pursuant to subsection (d)(2). In addition, no such transfer of permit shall be allowed if the applicant has applied for such transfer in the

previous twelve months. If the comptroller recommends the transfer of the permit and restricted parking signs to the applicant's new residence, such transfer shall be made without assessing installation and maintenance fees for the transferred signs. Provided, however, the transfer of a permit pursuant to this subsection shall have no effect on that permit's expiration date, or on the fees associated with a permit renewal:
