ETA Editor's Note
The clearance prescribed for a personal lift device at CBC 11B-806.2.3.1 is not required by 2010 ADA Standards.
From DSA's "Summary of New and Amended 2025 California Building Code (CBC) Regulations for Accessibility in the Triennial Code Cycle: "Language was amended to clarify that the California-specific requirements for the clearance for a personal lift device is applicable to transient lodging facilities only, and not to housing at a place of education."
