Owner Information: Contact/Owner: Keith Marvin Company Name: City of Coppell Address: 255 Parkway Blvd. City: Coppell State: TX Zip: 75019 CHAPTER 1: APPLICATION AND ADMINISTRATION APPLICABLE 101.1 General. This document contains scoping and technical requirements for accessibility to sites, facilities, buildings, and elements by individuals with disabilities. The requirements are to be applied during the design, construction, additions to, and alteration of sites, facilities, buildings, and elements to the extent required by regulations issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under the authority of Texas Government Code, Chapter 469. These standards are intended to be consistent to those contained in the 2010 Standards of Accessible Design, and are generally the same except as noted in italics. APPLICABLE 105 Referenced Standards APPLICABLE 105.2 Referenced Standards. The specific edition of the standards listed below are referenced in this document. Where differences occur between this document and the referenced standards, this document applies. APPLICABLE 105.2.4 ICC/IBC. Copies of the referenced standard may be obtained from the International Code Council, 5203 Leesburg Pike, Suite 600, Falls Church, Virginia 22041 (www.iccsafe.org). International Building Code, 2000 Edition (see 207.1, 207.2, 216.4.2, 216.4.3, and 1005.2.1). International Building Code, 2001 Supplement (see 207.1 and 207.2). International Building Code, 2003 Edition (see 207.1, 207.2, 216.4.2, 216.4.3, and 1005.2.1). APPLICABLE 105.2.5 NFPA.

NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code, 1999 Edition (see 702.1 and 809.5.2). Page 2 of 11 NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code, 2002 Edition (see 702.1 and 809.5.2). CHAPTER 2: SCOPING REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE 201.1 Scope. All areas of newly designed and newly constructed buildings and facilities and altered portions of existing buildings and facilities shall comply with these requirements. These standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings, structures, site improvements, and pedestrian routes or vehicular ways located on a site. Unless specifically stated otherwise, advisory notes and figures explain or illustrate the requirements of the standards; they do not establish enforceable requirements. The standards for determining the appropriate or minimum numbers contained in this document are considered minimal and the Executive Director shall have the authority to make adjustments when it is determined that the standards would cause the numbers or locations to be insufficient to adequately meet the needs of people with disabilities based on the nature, use, and other circumstances of any particular building or facility. In determining the appropriate number and location of a particular element, space, or fixture, the following factors shall be among those considered: (i) population to be served (ii) availability to the user; (iii) location relative to distance and time; (iv) location relative to isolation and separation; (v) function of the building or facility; and (vi) equal treatment and opportunity EXCEPTION: Commercial Facilities and Public Accommodations Located in Private Residences. When a commercial facility or public accommodation is located in a private residence, the portion of the residence used exclusively as a residence is not covered by these standards. Those portions used in the operation of the commercial facility or public accommodation or that portion used both for the commercial facility or public accommodation and for Page 3 of 11 residential purposes is covered by the new construction and alterations requirements of these standards. The portion of the residence used in the operation of the commercial facility or public accommodation extends to those elements used to enter the commercial facility or public accommodation, including the homeowner's front sidewalk, if any, the door or entryway, and hallways; and those portions of the residence, interior or exterior, available to or used by employees or visitors of the commercial facility or public accommodation, including restrooms. APPLICABLE 202 Existing Buildings and Facilities APPLICABLE 202.3 Alterations. Where existing elements, spaces, or common use areas are altered, each altered element, space, or common use area shall comply with the applicable requirements of Chapter 2. EXCEPTIONS: 1. Unless required by 202.4, where elements or spaces are altered and the circulation path to the altered element or space is not altered, an accessible route shall not be required. 2. In alterations, where compliance with applicable requirements is technically infeasible, the alteration shall comply with the requirements to the maximum extent feasible. For purposes of ensuring compliance with Texas Government Code, Chapter 469, all determinations of technical infeasibility and maximum extent feasible are made by the Department in accordance with the variance procedures contained in Chapter 68, Texas Administrative Code. 3. Residential dwelling units not required to be accessible in compliance with a standard issued pursuant to Texas Government Code, Chapter 469, shall not be required to comply with 202.3. APPLICABLE 202.4 Alterations Affecting Primary Function Areas. Page 4 of 11 In addition to the requirements of 202.3, an alteration that affects or could affect the usability of or access to an area containing a primary function shall be made so as to ensure that, to the maximum extent feasible, the path of travel to the altered area, including the parking areas, rest rooms, telephones, and drinking fountains serving the altered area, are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, unless such alterations are disproportionate to the overall alterations in terms of cost and scope. For purposes of ensuring compliance with requirements of Texas Government Code, Chapter 469, all determinations of maximum extent feasible and disproportionality are made by the Department in accordance with the variance procedures contained in Chapter 68, Texas Administrative Code. If elements of a path of travel at a subject building or facility that have been previously constructed or altered in accordance with the April 1, 1994 Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) they will enjoy safe harbor and are not required to be retrofitted to reflect the incremental changes in the 2012 TAS solely because of an alteration to a primary function area served by that path of travel. Those elements would be subject to compliance with the 2012 TAS only when the elements of a path of travel are being altered. EXCEPTIONS: 1. Residential dwelling units shall not be required to comply with 202.4. 2. If a tenant is making alterations as defined in 106.5.5 that would trigger the requirements of this section, those alterations by the tenant in areas that only the tenant occupies do not trigger a path of travel obligation upon the landlord with respect to areas of the facility under the landlord's authority, if those areas are not otherwise being altered.
