Additionally, for multi-family projects with more than 15 units, strongly encourage developers to incorporate enhanced accessibility features in required adaptable units (such as roll-in showers, variable height work surfaces, and wider hallway and door widths) through expedited review or other methods. An equal or greater proportion of required adaptable very low- and low-income units as adaptable market-rate units in the project shall be provided with such features, to meet the needs of persons with disabilities and to allow for aging in place. With respect to single-family, duplex, and tri-plex projects not covered by Chapters 11A and 11B, adopt a local Universal Design Ordinance consistent with the HCD Universal Design Model Ordinance that requires enhanced accessibility in a proportion of units within projects of a specified size. • Responsible Agency: Planning Division, Building and Safety Division • Time Period: Adopt Universal Design Ordinance by September 2023; implement Universal Design Ordinance and multi-family accessibility requirements as project applications are submitted • Funding Source: Planning Division Budget, Building and Safety Division Budget, developer funds • Quantified Objective: Enhanced accessibility features included in all projects subject to the Universal Design Ordinance during the planning period; target the application of Universal Design Ordinance and multi-family accessibility requirements to the production of 50 units by March 2026 and another 50 units by January 2031
