It is found and declared that under the Handicapped Access Regulations promulgated by the Office of the State Architect, state of California, effective July 1, 1982, and contained in Part 2, Title 24 of the California Administrative Code, every building occupancy type except non-publicly funded housing is required to be made accessible to the physically handicapped. The chief building official may grant certain exceptions to the regulations. Section 2-105(b) 11D of the regulations requires that some determinations of the chief building official be subject to an appeals process. The purpose of the ordinance codified in this chapter is to ensure that procedures set forth in this code are in compliance with the requirements of state law by establishing a process whereby the city manager, with the assistance of a voluntary advisory committee, hears appeals and renders final decisions concerning compliance with the Handicapped Access Regulations.
