Section 1110 Recreational Facilities

1110.2 Facilities serving Group R-2, R-3, and R-4 occupancies. Recreational facilities serving Accessible units in Group R-2, R-3 and R-4 occupancies shall all be accessible as applicable. Where recreational facilities are provided serving Type A or B units in Group R-2, R-3, or R-4 occupancies, at least 25 percent but not less than one of each type of such facilities shall be accessible. All recreational facilities of each type on a site shall be considered to determine the total number of each type that is required to be accessible. This requirement recognizes that not all recreational facilities need to be accessible, nor would such a requirement be feasible. However, at least one of every four recreational facilities shall be available to someone with a disability. Where multiple residential buildings are on a site, each type of recreational facility, such as a basketball court, a handball court, a weight room, an exercise area, a game room, or a television room serving each building, must be fully accessible. Each type of recreational facility on a site, such as a racquetball court in an apartment complex, is considered to determine the total number required to be accessible. Thus, if there were 12 racquetball courts on the site, at least three of the courts would need to be accessible. If they were evenly distributed in two separate buildings, one building would need to contain at least one accessible court, and another would need at least two accessible courts to meet the overall 25-percent rule. If the courts were located in four separate buildings, each building would require at least one accessible facility, even if the total exceeded the overall 25-percent requirement.

1110.4 Recreational facilities. The overall intent of these requirements is to provide access to recreational facilities so that persons with mobility impairments can participate to the best of their ability. The extent of the provisions is not intended to change any essential aspects of that specific recreational activity. The requirements are generally intended to coordinate with those of the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
