Purpose
The purpose of this Assessment is to review existing City Parking District
improvements relative to current Federal and State accessibility requirements.
The Federal requirements are found in the Americans with Disabilities Act Title II
Regulations dated September 15, 2010. The State requirements are located in
California Code of Regulations Title 24; 2016 California Building Code (CBC) at
Chapter 11B. While the Federal regulations include many facility requirements,
they also include program and employment rules which are beyond the scope
of this assessment. The Federal facility related requirements are found in the
2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (ADAS). Chapter 11B is modeled
after the 2010 ADAS and includes many California additions. For the purpose of
this Assessment, Chapter 11B of the 2016 CBC will be the Standard.
Scope of Work
Perform a site visit to observe existing site and conditions at City Parking
Districts 1-4 in accordance with BKF’s proposal dated November 19, 2018. See
description of intersections below. The site visits were performed on November
6, 2019. An assessment was performed of site features relative to the Standard.
Measurements were obtained with the use of a “SmartLevel” and a steel tape.
This Assessment is intended to identify features which do not meet the
Standard. While an attempt has been made to identify each feature which does
not meet the Standard, no warranty is expressed or implied that all were
discovered. For example, the Assessment includes measurement of slopes at
various locations. While an attempt has been made to identify and measure
each condition which may not meet the Standard, it is beyond the scope of this
Assessment to measure each and every location.
It should be noted that in general, facilities are required to comply with the
requirements in effect on the day they were initially constructed. When an
alteration occurs, the alteration and certain paths of travel, must meet the most
recent requirements. This Assessment does not take date of construction or
alteration into account. As a result, it is possible that a more stringent Standard
than necessary for “compliance” with State and Federal ADA requirements have
been applied.

How to Read this Assessment
The Assessment is organized into three parts.
1. Part one includes Key Maps which show the location of the various
features which do not meet the Standard.
2. Part two is the list of various site features (referenced by number to the
Key Maps and Photos) which do not meet the Standard along with a
reference to the 2016 CBC requirement and the actual measured
condition.
3. Part three includes photos of the features which do not meet the
Standard.
