UPDATE - October 7, 2014
The California Building Standards Commission has adopted regulations very similar to the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection's AB-090 that, barring any unusual and unforeseen challenges, will become part of the California Building Code effective July 1, 2015.
Click here for the approved final version of the code. You can reference the dispatch elevator requirements in Section 11B-411 beginning on page 23. It would be prudent for building owners to make sure all new installations meet these standards in order to avoid future path of travel problems.
