In California, I have a small condo project on a podium over an even smaller private garage.
The planning code requires at least one visitor parking stall, so that stall will be van accessible.
Our resident parking stalls are assigned per CBC 1109A.4, therefore I need one accessible stall (but it need not be marked accessible).
The plan checker is saying that both the resident accessible stall AND the guest accessible stall EACH need to be van accessible. In other words, they can't share a common 8' loading aisle between them, because a van stall must have the loading aisle on the passenger side. That means that two accessible stalls will take up over 34' of garage width!
Does their logic compel TWO van spaces? or can the guest and resident accessible parking be lumped together, where only one is a van, and the other is a conventional accessible stall, with a shared 8' aisle between them?
