An unreasonable hardship exists where the cost of providing an accessible entrance, path of travel, sanitary
facilities, public phones, drinking fountains, etc. exceeds 20% of the cost of project without these features.
The actual work of the project must comply with current code and an additional amount equal to at least 20%
of the cost of the project must be spent to improve required accessibility features that are not in compliance
with current code.
In choosing which accessible elements to provide, priority should be given to those elements that will provide
the greatest access, in the following order: 1) An accessible primary entrance; 2) An accessible route to the
altered area; 3) At least one accessible restroom for each sex; 4) Accessible public telephones (when
provided); 5) Accessible drinking fountains (when provided); 6) When possible, additional accessible
elements such as additional parking, storage and alarms.
To request an unreasonable hardship, complete the attached worksheet, and prepare a site and floor
plan of the existing and proposed accessibility improvements. This information must be submitted to
the Building Division in duplicate, prior to processing a permit application. One copy of the approval or denial
will be returned to the applicant.
For projects exceeding the valuation threshold of $186,172, a hardship approval can only be obtained
through a ratification application and hardship application.
The $186,172 is based on $50,000 in 1981 dollars as of January 1, 2022.

TECHNICALLY INFEASIBLE. An alteration of a building or a facility that has little likelihood of being
accomplished because the existing structural conditions require the removal or alteration of a load -bearing
member that is an essential part of the structural frame, or because other existing physical or site
constraints prohibit modification or addition of elements, spaces or features which are in full and strict
compliance with the minimum requirements for new construction and which are necessary to provide
a. zessibility.
Describe why the nature of accessibility is technically infeasible:
Partial pathway from the Men's restroom entry door to the accessible toilet stall
is 42" wide for approx. 4'-6" in length & 38" wide for approx. 3'-10" of length.

buildings structure.
Describe how equivalent facilitation will be provided:
Figure 11 B-403.5.2 shows allowing a 36" wide path when there is a 5'-0" space beyond which
