Subject: RE: Rehab project-Village at Washington Square
Hi Tom,
Thank you for meeting with Earl and Ito discuss Village at Washington Square. I would like to follow up on the barrier
removal requirement that we discussed.
I found the attached statewide code interpretation regarding the barrier removal requirement. Item #2 indicates that
the requirement does not apply to multifamily dwellings. Additionally, I reviewed the definition of"affected buildings"
in ORS 447.210 https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/447.210 and it states that affected buildings are places of public
accommodation, commercial buildings, and government buildings per Title II of ADA. Although this is affordable housing
with state funding, it does not have federal funding to trigger Title II of ADA. From this information, it appears to me
that the community building is an affected building as a place of public accommodation, but that the multifamily
buildings are not. As such,the barrier removal requirement would apply only to the community building, and as the
code interpretation further describes, barrier removal would only be related to the access and function of that space—
for instance, if a walkway from the parking lot to the building was found to not meet accessible requirements. Do you
agree?
Thank you, and I hope you have a great weekend,

Better Buildings for Oregon Alterations and Application of the
25% Disproportionate Cost Limitation JUL 2 3 2020
CITY OF TIGARD
BUILDING DIVISION
In accordance with OAR 918-008-0110, the information contained in this statewide code interpretation is
legally binding on any party involved in activities regulated by applicable Oregon law, applicable Oregon regulations
or the state building code.If the information contained in this statewide code interpretation is cited as a basis
for a civil infraction, a representative of the jurisdiction must cite the interpretation number found in this document.
Statutory reference: Oregon Revised Statute (ORS)447.241
Code/ section: 2019 Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC)—Chapter 11/Section 3403.4
Date: Issued—Nov. 3, 2014
Last updated—Oct.l, 2019
Subject: Alterations and Application of the 25%Disproportionate Cost Limitation
Question:
When an alteration is made to an existing building,how much additional work is required to remove
architectural barriers?
Answer:
1. All new work must comply with OSSC Chapter 11, regardless of cost.
2. Additional work to remove architectural barriers is only required when the existing building,
or portion thereof, is an affected building.
3. When an alteration project to an affected building affects the usability of an area of primary
function,the path of travel to the altered area must be made accessible,unless the additional
work is disproportionate to the overall alteration to the primary function area. Oregon Revised
Statute (ORS)447.241 defines "disproportionate" as when the cost exceeds 25% of the
alteration to the area of primary function, and defines "path of travel" as the elements listed
and prioritized in ORS 447.241(4).
4. Alteration projects include additions as indicated in OSSC Section 3403.4.
5. A barrier removal plan is approved in statute as an alternate method to spending up to 25% of
the alteration that affects the usability of the area of primary function.
Analysis
1. All new work must comply with OSSC Chapter 11,regardless of cost. For changes to existing
buildings, consideration should be given to OSSC Section 3403.4. This section provides
essentially identical provisions from the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) for
alteration projects. The intent is to provide accessibility to the maximum extent feasible.
Building Codes Division • Department of Consumer and Business Services • State of Oregon
1535 Edgewater St.NW, Salem, OR 97304 • P.O.Box 14470, Salem, OR 97309-0404
503-378-4133 ♦ Fax: 503-378-2322 ♦ oregon.gov/bcd
• Example 1.1: A new exit is required from an existing building because of a change in
occupancy classification. The new exit must be accessible, or have an area of refuge,
regardless of cost. However, any existing exits that are not accessible are not required to
have an area of refuge.
• Example 1.2: Additional plumbing fixtures are required in an existing building because
of a change in occupancy classification. The new fixtures must be accessible,but any
existing fixtures are not necessarily required to be upgraded.
• Example 1.3: A parking lot that serves an affected building is restriped. The new parking
lot striping is required to comply with the appropriate number of accessible parking
spaces and access aisles required by ORS 447.233.
2. Additional work to remove architectural barriers is only required when the existing building,
or portion thereof, is an affected building. ORS 447.241 clearly does not apply to other
facilities such as covered multifamily dwellings. This is consistent with OSSC Chapter 11 and
Section 3403.4.
3. When an alteration project to an affected building affects the usability of an area of primary
function, other accessible path of travel elements must be added, or existing path of travel
elements made accessible, unless the additional work is disproportionate to the overall
alteration. This requirement is consistent with the ADA. However, ORS 447.241 defines
"disproportionate" as when the cost exceeds 25% of the alteration to the area of primary
function; ADA uses 20%. The following detailed discussion of this determination is
essentially what is printed in the ADA Title II and Title III Technical Assistance Manuals.
[Call 1-800-HELP-ADA for free copies of these manuals, or access manuals at
http:/Iwww.ada.gov ]
• To be considered in the disproportionate cost calculation, an alteration or the portion of
a larger renovation project,must affect usability of the area of primary function. Such
alterations include remodeling, renovation, rearrangements in structural parts, and
changes or rearrangements of walls and full height partitions. The following are NOT
considered by the state or the U.S. Department of Justice as alterations that affect
usability, unless the project involves alteration to elements required to be accessible:
• Normal maintenance; reroofing;painting;wallpapering; asbestos, lead, or other
hazardous material removal; automatic sprinkler retrofitting; and changes to electrical,
mechanical and plumbing systems.
• Example 3.1: An electrical outlet is being relocated. The location of the new outlet is
required to be within reach ranges if it were part of new construction. Therefore, the
outlet must be located according to Chapter 11. However, if the electrical wiring inside
the wall is being changed,usability by an individual with disabilities is not affected.
Thus,that work is not considered an alteration that affects usability.
• An alteration must affect the usability of an area of primary function. The term"primary
function" is defined in statute as "a major activity for which the facility is intended." See
OSSC Section 202. The U.S. Department of Justice's Title III Technical Assistance
Manual further clarifies this definition as including customer service areas and employee
work areas, such as offices. It specifically states that an area of primary function does
NOT include:
• Mechanical rooms,boiler rooms, supply storage rooms, employee lounges or locker
rooms,janitorial closets, entrances, corridors,rest rooms, windows,hardware (such as
on doors), electrical outlets, and signs.
Page 2 of 4
• • Therefore, in determining the 25 percent disproportionate limit that may apply to an
alteration project, only work that affects the usability of an area of primary function
(customer service areas and employee work areas) should be included.
• Example 3.2: New flooring is installed throughout a store. The flooring affects the
usability of the area because it affects whether or not a person in a wheelchair can travel
in the store. The new flooring must comply with accessibility requirements.
Additionally, no more than 25% of the cost of the flooring in the customer service areas
and employee work areas must be spent to provide accessible elements as outlined in
ORS 447.251(4).
• Example 3.3: Remodeling a store's public rest room is proposed. The remodeled rest
room must comply with the accessibility requirements in OSSC Section 1109.2.
However,no additional work is required because the rest room is not an area of primary
function of the store. An exception to this case is a highway rest stop building whose
primary function is being a rest room.
• Example 3.4: A library is remodeling its public reading area at a cost of$20,000. The
reading area is considered an area of primary function. Therefore the library must spend
up to an additional $5,000 to bring into compliance, accessible paths of travel as
described in ORS 447.241 Once the accessible path of travel to the area of primary
function is in full compliance with OSSC Chapter 11, additional accessible elements
within the building such as storage and alarms shall be improved until the $5,000 (25%)
threshold is met, or until the entire building is in compliance as per ORS 447.241(4)(g).
• Once it has been determined that the path of travel must be made accessible by spending
up to 25% of the alteration that affects the usability of the area of primary function,
priority shall be given to the list of elements, in the order provided, in ORS 447.241(4).
This list is identical to the list provided by the U.S. Attorney General. Note that
interestingly, "path of travel" is defined by both to include the rest rooms,telephones
and drinking fountains.This is consistent with ADA.
• Additionally, an owner cannot evade providing accessible path of travel elements by
making several "small" alterations. Such alterations, if considered alone, would be so
inexpensive that the 25% disproportionate limit would not result in additional accessible
path of travel features. Whenever the usability of an area containing a primary function
is altered, other alterations to this area(or to other areas on the same path of travel)
made within the preceding three years are considered together in determining
disproportionality. See ORS 447.241(6).
4. Alteration projects include additions as indicated in OSSC Section 3403.4. The intent of the
code and ADA is that the addition itself must comply with all new construction provisions.
Then, the paths of travel must be made accessible,unless the additional work is
disproportionate to the alteration as previously explained. OSSC 3403.4 references the
statutory requirement for path of travel upgrades, which takes precedence over the confusing
code language.
5. A barrier removal plan is approved in statute as an alternate method to spending up to 25% of
the alteration that affects usability of the area of primary function. The plan shall provide an
equivalent or greater level of barrier removal than required by ORS 447.241.
• The plan shall include a letter of participation from the building owner, a building
survey that identifies existing architectural barriers, an improvement plan, a time
schedule for the removal of architectural barriers, and an implementation agreement.

• • The plan MUST be reviewed and accepted through the waiver process under ORS
447.250 and shall be reviewed upon completion or every three years for compliance.
Therefore, the Oregon Disabilities Commission designee must be consulted in this
process.
• In developing an appropriate plan,consideration should be given to removing
architectural barriers that are readily achievable. Readily achievable means easily
accomplishable and able to be carried out without major difficulty or expense. The U.S.
Department of Justice has a published list of items that are considered readily
achievable,provided they can be accomplished without much difficulty or expense. The
list includes:
• Installing ramps; making curb cuts in sidewalks and entrances;repositioning telephones;
installing visual alarms; widening doors and installing accessible door hardware;
installing accessible signage; installing grab bars,rearranging toilet stalls and insulating
lavatory pipes in bathrooms; installing raised toilet seats, and full-length bathroom
mirrors; repositioning paper towel dispensers; creating accessible parking spaces;
installing accessible paper cup dispensers at existing inaccessible water fountains; and
removing high-pile, low density carpeting.
6. In effect, the building owner may use a barrier removal plan, when approved, to defer costs of
barrier removal over the lifetime of the barrier removal and improvement plan.
