We have a permit for a new ramp out of an existing church. My understanding is that the church wants the ramp to meet ADA guidelines. During framing inspection I noticed that two of the three ramp slopes exceed the ADA maximum (they averaged 15%). We use the 2009 IBC, have not adopted the IEBC.
Can the church opt to keep the ramp as is?
Does the City have the authority to require the ramp to meet ADA guidelines? The church currently does not have any accessible facilities or entrances.
Thank you
