   B.   Number Of Required Disabled Parking Spaces: Disabled parking shall be provided as set out in table 8-8-1-6A, "Disabled Parking Requirements", of this section. Disabled parking is included in the total number of required parking spaces.

DISABLED PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Number Of Required Parking Spaces	Number Of Disabled Spaces	Number Of Disabled Spaces That Must Be Van Accessible
1 to 25	1	1
26 to 50	2	1
51 to 75	3	1
76 to 100	4	1
101 to 150	5	1
151 to 200	6	1
201 to 300	7	1
301 to 400	8	1
401 to 500	9	2
501 to 1,000	2 percent of total	1 out of 8 disabled parking spaces, rounded up
1,001 and over	20 plus 1 for each 100 over 1,000	1 out of 8 disabled parking spaces, rounded up

 

   C.   Disabled Parking Space Dimensions, Design, And Location:

      1.   Disabled parking spaces shall be nine feet by twenty feet (9' x 20'), with an access aisle on one side (may be shared with another disabled space), as shown in figure 8-8-1-6B, "Disabled Parking", of this section, with the following dimensions:

         a.   Car space: Five feet by twenty feet (5' x 20').

         b.   Van space: Nine feet by twenty feet (9' x 20').

      2.   The access aisle adjacent to disabled spaces shall be:

         a.   Clearly marked (the end of the aisle that is adjacent to the driving aisle may be a squared or curved shape);

         b.   Level (1:50 maximum slope in all directions, no intrusion by ramps);

         c.   The same length as the adjacent parking space(s) it serves; and

         d.   Connected to an accessible route to the building served by the space.

      3.   An accessible route shall be provided from disabled spaces to the building, which:

         a.   Shall always be provided from the accessible parking to the accessible entrance;

         b.   Shall not be obstructed by curbs or stairs;

         c.   Shall be at least three feet (3') wide (if the accessible route is located in front of a parking space, as shown in figure 8-8-1-6B, "Disabled Parking", of this section, wheel stops shall be installed to keep vehicles from reducing the effective width of the accessible route to less than 3 feet);

         d.   Shall have a firm, stable, slip resistant surface; and

         e.   Shall have a slope of not greater than one to twelve (1:12) in the direction of travel.

      4.   A vertical clearance of not less than eight feet two inches (8'2") shall be provided and maintained above van accessible disabled parking spaces and the vehicular routes that access them.

      5.   Disabled spaces shall be posted with a sign that includes the international symbol of accessibility, mounted high enough so it can be seen while a vehicle is parked in the space. Signs posted for van accessible spaces shall also include the words "Van Accessible".

      6.   Accessible parking spaces shall be located on the shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible facility entrance (where buildings have multiple accessible entrances with adjacent parking, the accessible parking spaces must be dispersed and located closest to the accessible entrances), except that:

         a.   Accessible parking spaces may be clustered in one or more lots if equivalent or greater accessibility is provided in terms of distance from the accessible entrance, parking fees, and convenience; and

         b.   Van accessible spaces located in parking structures may be clustered on one floor if necessary to accommodate the eight foot two inch (8'2") minimum vertical clearance requirement.

   D.   Alternative Disabled Space Dimensions: In the alternative to providing car and van accessible spaces, the applicant may provide all required disabled spaces with the following dimensions:

      1.   Width: Eleven feet (11').

      2.   Depth: Twenty feet (20').

      3.   Accessible route width: Five feet (5').

   E.   Parking Module Dimensions: Parking modules shall be dimensioned as shown in table 8-8-1-6C, "Minimum Horizontal Parking Dimensions For Standard Automobiles", of this section. The dimensions that are set out in the table are illustrated in figure 8-8-1-6D, "Parking Module Standards", of this section.
