What occupancies are or are not subject to path of travel and/or accessible routes? …buildings subject to California Building Code (CBC) Chapter 11B? …multi-family buildings subject to CBC Chapter 11A? …others?
RESPONSE: Buildings and facilities required to comply with Chapter 11B, including public housing facilities, are required to comply with the CBC Chapter 11B accessibility provisions for EVCS. This includes the accessible route requirements for installation of EVCS. In addition, an accessible path of travel is required where EVCS are installed at existing facilities where vehicle fueling, recharging, parking or storage is a primary function. These types of facilities include gas stations, stand-alone parking lots and stand-alone parking structures. Compliance with path of travel requirements is required to the maximum extent feasible without exceeding 20 percent of the cost of the work directly associated with the installation of EVCS (see Section 11B-202.4 Exception 10). See note on page 1 of this FAQ for privately-owned multifamily housing facilities subject to CBC Chapter 11A, and under the regulatory authority of the Department of Housing and Community Development.
