BOMA San Francisco Members:
The California Division of State Architect (DSA) is preparing for an update of the state accessibility codes. As such, the DSA is seeking input and comments from accessibility stakeholders, interested parties and the general public through a series of forums to be held in May, June and July of 2012. The forums will be held throughout California with the following discussion topics, dates and locations:
- Forum No. 1 – Chapter 3: Building Blocks and Proposed Emergency Items
- 24 May 2012 in Sacramento
- Forum No. 2 – Accessible Routes and Chapter 5:General Site and Building Elements
- 31 May 2012 in Oakland
- Forum No. 3 – Chapter 6: Plumbing Elements and Facilities

- Forum No. 4 – Chapter 7: Communication Elements and Features
- 14 June 2012 in Los Angeles
- Forum No. 5 – Chapter 8: Special Rooms and Spaces and Chapter 9: Built-in Elements
- 21 Jul 2012 in Los Angeles
- Forum No. 6 – Chapter 10: Recreational Facilities
- 10 July 2012 in San Diego
- Forum No. 7 – Chapter 1: Application and Administration, Title II State and Local Government Facilities and Title III Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities
- 17 July 2012 in Sacramento
The scoping requirements of ADA Chapter 2 will be reviewed as their associated technical guidelines as discussed.
DSA’s goal for the 2013 access code update is to produce an integrated document with the most stringent provisions from the 2010 California Building Code and the federal 2010 ADA Standards.
Interested parties may participate in person at the forum location and by video-conference at the other DSA Regional offices. A call-in teleconference line will also be available. Draft language will be posted on the DSA web-site and distributed to interested parties on the Access 2013 Stakeholder e-mail list, with alternative formats provided upon request.
Requests for alternative formats should be directed to Beth Sanchez at 916 322-1912 or by e-mail to: beth.sanchez@dgs.ca.gov.
