I'm looking at some micro residential units currently under construction in NorCAL. A plan is attached. This is in a building with over one hundred units.
This building meets the definition of "Covered Multi-Family" per 1102A.1. I don't see anywhere in chapter 11A that "efficiency units" are exempted from any of the requirements of 11A.
In a CA apartment building of any size all units are covered units and have accessibility requirements for accessible path, doors, door clearances, bathroom fixture clearances, kitchens etc. There is no Type A/Type B.
Disregard for the moment the challenges I see with the tub/shower controls and the lav. What about that front door? 1132A.5.2 calls for an 18" clear space beyond the door strike (pull side) regardless of whether it's an entry, required exit, or interior passage door. So why would this be allowed?
I'm looking through local zoning code, local building code amendments and don't see anything that would exempt any part of 11A for micro units.
Anyone have any ideas why this was allowed? This is all privately funded.
Thanks,
Neal
