F: ___Yes PART IV: Explanation of Laws Governing Checklist and Use of the List The City of Dublin has adopted a Universal Design Ordinance that requires Developers to install or offer and install for purchase certain accessible features. The purpose of the Universal Design Guideline, established by this chapter is to enhance the full life cycle use of housing without regard to the physical abilities or disabilities of a home’s occupants or guests in order to accommodate a wide range of individual preferences or physical abilities. The Ordinance is applicable to all residential dwellings units that are part of a residential development project is excess of 20 residential dwellings units, that are single-family, duplex and triplex units. All other unit types are regulated by Chapters 11A and 11B of the California Building Code. California law, section 17959.6 of the Health and Safety Code, requires a builder of new for-sale residential units to provide buyers with a list of specific “universal design features” which make a home safer and easier to use for persons who are aging or frail, or who have certain temporary or permanent activity limitations or disabilities. A developer is not required to provide the listed features during construction or at any other time, unless the developer has offered to provide a feature and the buyer has requested it and agreed to provide payment. All features covered by “Chapter 11A” of the California Building Code (Title 24, California Code of Regulations, Part 2) are identified by an asterisk and must comply with that Chapter unless otherwise specifically provided. All features not in Chapter 11A must be selected and installed in a workman like manner by the builder unless they are further described in Part V. ---PAGE BREAK--- LEGEND Standards in CA Bldg Code (Chapter 11A) Status: Standard Limited (L),Option Mandatory to Install (MI), Mandatory to Offer (MO), or Not Available (NA); Timing: Any Time (AT), Before Foundation (BFo), Before Framing (BFr), Before Internal Wall Covering (BIW); Details: See Part V (Y or Yes), None (N or No). G:\Forms & Handouts - 2019\ACCESSIBILITY\Universal Design Checklist (Rev 2020).docx Page 7 of 7 Unless otherwise exempted by the City, the items listed as Mandatory to Install in Chapter 7.90 of the Dublin Municipal Code shall be installed in all residential dwellings units that are part of a residential development project in excess of 20 units. These items shall be installed at no additional cost to the buyer. Mandatory to Offer upgrades listed in the Chapter 7.90 of the Dublin Municipal Code shall be offered to the buyer of each dwelling that is subjected to this chapter. The developer shall determine the option selection cut off dates and any additional cost to the buyer. The Mandatory to Offer items, are items that have been determined by the City to reasonable enhance the full life cycle use of housing without regard to the physical abilities or disabilities of a home’s occupants or guests in order to accommodate a wide range of individual preferences and functional abilities. Features listed may not actually be available or offered by the builder. In addition, certain items must be requested prior to certain phases of construction, as specified by the builder. The builder may provide estimated costs for the special features. The features must be installed and comply with Chapter 11A, unless the builder and buyer agree in writing to different standards than those in Chapter 11A and the differences are clearly disclosed in Part V. A builder is not required to install the listed features unless the builder offers them and both of the following occur: the buyer requests them with the specified phase of construction, and the buyer agrees to provide payment for the features. Any violation of this law is enforced by the local building department and local public prosecutors, and is punishable by civil penalties. The attached chart lists the specific features, which must be disclosed, as well as others commonly requested but not required by law. There are four categories for each feature: Status: whether it is a standard limited and option mandatory to install if provided (MI), Mandatory to offer (MO), or not available (NA), as determined by the builder, or City of Dublin Code. Timing: by what stage in construction it must be requested (such as “any time”, “before foundation”, “before framing”, or “before internal wall covering”), with actual times selected by the builder and approved by the City.
