Accessible parking spaces shall be located on the shortest accessible route of travel from adjacent parking to an accessible building entrance. If parking serves more than one accessible entrance, parking spaces shall be dispersed and located on the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrances. In parking facilities that do not serve a particular building, accessible parking spaces shall be located on the shortest accessible route to an accessible pedestrian entrance to the parking facility. If buildings have multiple accessible entrances with adjacent parking, accessible parking spaces shall be dispersed and located near the accessible entrances.
Exceptions:
1. In multilevel parking structures, van- accessible parking spaces are permitted on one level.
2. The total number of accessible parking spaces may be distributed among parking lots if greater accessibility is achieved in consideration of such factors as anticipated usage, user convenience, number and location of entrances and level of parking areas.
