Mr. Inspector
SAWHORSE
This is for a complete change of occupancy to R2 Type B apartments. The exception to this section seems to be in conflict with sections in ICC A117.1-2017. I'm not sure what to go by.
2018 IEBC:
305.4.2 Complete change of occupancy. Where an entire
building undergoes a change of occupancy, it shall comply
with Section 305.4.1 and shall have all of the following
accessible features:
1. Not fewer than one accessible building entrance.
2. Not fewer than one accessible route from an accessible
building entrance to primary function areas.
3. Signage complying with Section 1111 of the International
Building Code.
4. Accessible parking, where parking is being provided.
5. Not fewer than one accessible passenger loading
zone, where loading zones are provided.
6. Not fewer than one accessible route connecting
accessible parking and accessible passenger loading
zones to an accessible entrance.
Where it is technically infeasible to comply with the
new construction standards for any of these requirements
for a change of group or occupancy, Items 1 through 6
shall conform to the requirements to the maximum extent
technically feasible.
Exception: The accessible features listed in Items 1
through 6 are not required for an accessible route to
Type B units.
ICC A117 - 2017
1102.3 Primary Entrance. An accessible primary entrance shall be on an accessible route from public and common areas.
1102.3 Accessible route. Accessible routes within accessible units shall comply with section 1102.3.
1102.4 Walking Surfaces that are part of an accessible route shall comply with section 403.
1102.6 Ramps shall comply with section 405
1102.7 Elevators shall comply with sections 407, 408, 409
1102.8 Platform Lifts within the unit shall comply with section 410
Under Parking 502.4.1 requires the parking accessible to adjoin to an accessible route.
Under Passenger Loading Zones 503.3.1 Access aisles shall adjoin an accessible route.
I do not know if the IEBC exception or ICC A117 is the rule.
