The parking lots are located across an alley behind the bu siness. Some of these businesses have an entrance at the rear as well. The question is\, does the city have an obligation to provide paths of travel from the parking lot to each rear entrance of the businesses or is an acc essible path of travel required only to the public side walk that eventual ly will lead to the front entrances of the buildings? If a path of travel to the rear entrances is required\, who would responsible to provide it\, the City or the owner of the business. Thank you and I’m looking forward to seeing you in Ontario this coming September.\n\nA Sanchez – City Pol ice station needs a seismic retrofit. This will only involve structural re inforcement\, shear wall\, pads\, beams. There are no improvements to the office. Is there an exemption for accessibility upgrades for seismic reinf orcement only? Thank you\n\nDavid -It is back-to-school time at our univer sity and as usual\, the accommodation requests start coming in. The latest one that has come across my desk is in regards to a student with allergy issues. This student has requested that the carpet be removed from their d orm room due to their allergies. In your opinion\, is this an impairment t hat is covered by the ADA (BTW: we are in California)? Does the student ne ed to provide some verification of the need? If we do need to address it\, how far do you believe we would need to go to accommodate this student? I f we remove carpet in a dorm room\, what precludes us from having to remov e carpet from other areas this student frequents (classrooms\, dormitory f amily rooms\, etc.) And then does this open us up to dealing with window c overings\, upholstered furniture\, etc?\n\nJose – In 11A 1109.A.8.1 Vert ical Clearance is 8 feet 2 inches\, which is 98 inches in vehicular passag eways in the same parking level. In 11B-503.5 The Vertical clearance is 11 4 inches\, which is 9 feet 6 inches\, my question which vertical dimension will apply when applying the code in a Commercial Building parking establ ishment.?\n\n \n\nWe are excited to announce that Paul Klein &\; Mark Wood have been asked to be part of the Building Officials panel for the CA SI Accessibility Codes and Standards Summit October 19th &\; 20th 2017 at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco.\n\nPlease join us for a special two -day event designed for expert-level CASp and building officials\, archite cts and inspectors\, to learn Accessibility Codes and Standards.
