All parking lots, or wherever parking is provided, shall provide at least the number of handicapped accessible parking spaces as shown in Subsection B below. Where there are multiple lots, the handicapped accessible parking spaces shall be proportionately divided among those lots which are within 200 feet of an accessible entrance.
In parking lots or parking garages servicing a special
purpose hospital that treats conditions that affect mobility, 20%
of the parking spaces, but not fewer than two, shall be handicapped
accessible.
Parking spaces for the handicapped shall be located
as close as possible to elevators, ramps, walkways and the accessible
entrance they serve. They shall be as level as possible with paved
surface slopes not exceeding 1:48 ( 1/4 inch per foot) in any
direction. Such spaces, when possible, shall be located so that persons
in wheelchairs or using braces or crutches are not compelled to wheel
or walk behind parked cars, and, where applicable, curb ramps shall
be provided to permit handicapped persons access from the parking
area to the sidewalk.
Each parking space shall be identified with a sign
displaying the international symbol of accessibility and appropriate
wordage, to include "Disabled persons with valid ID only."
Each sign shall be a minimum of 12 inches by 18 inches
and shall be mounted with its bottom edge approximately 60 inches
above the parking lot surface.
