Released proposed ordinance language to Social Service Human Relations Board (SSHRB) and Commission on Disability Issues (CDI) last month. Proposed ordinance lays out requirements on all new major projects in Alameda. Concept is Universal Design Unit is one that could be adapted to accommodate persons with disabilities. Bedroom, Kitchen, Living Area, Bathroom on first floor, has elements that accommodate range of physical disabilities. Percentage of new units that this would apply to is under discussion. What does the building code require now? Chapter 11-A of Uniform Building Code should be referenced, which is well known by City inspectors and planners. City adopts building code changes every year, and any changes to that chapter at the state level would be adopted each year. Add these items to conditions of approval. Then it is on City to make sure building code is adhered to, rather than adopting new language that is only specific to Alameda. Percentage: 15% seems too low - what is the right number? What do we tie the percentage to? We want to write something that is easily adaptable. Keep it simple. Unit should be accessible to enter, 4 primary living spaces without stairs. Stairs could in unit, but the primary living spaces are accessible. | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2015-10-26.pdf |

Mr. Thomas discussed the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance regarding existing housing, whereby anyone with a disability needing to make changes to their home could seek a variance in order to make modifications to accommodate their disability. This proposal could allow the Planning Director to sign off on such items without a full hearing before the Planning Board, as would normally be required for a variance from building codes, so it would make the process of providing home modifications less onerous for seniors and persons with disabilities. Chair Lord-Hausman asked if this would apply to aging in place residents, to which Mr. Thomas confirmed it does apply. Vice-Chair Deutsch asked if it applied to inside and outside, to which Mr. Thomas said it applies to the exterior. | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2014-01-27.pdf |
