A0.3 · ADA information Home2 Suites · Bradenton

Connect accessible site/building features with a continuous unobstructed route and accessible entrance. Walking-surface running slope: 1:20 maximum; cross slope: 1:48 maximum. Clear width: 36″ minimum. A 32″ restriction is permitted for 24″ maximum length, separated by segments at least 48″ long and 36″ wide.

For a 180° turn around an object under 48″ wide: approach 42″ minimum, turn 48″ minimum, exit 42″ minimum; exception where the turn is 60″ minimum. Routes under 60″ wide need passing spaces at intervals of 200′ maximum: 60″ × 60″ or the specified T intersection with 48″ extensions.

32″ minimum clear opening, measured at 90° for swinging doors. Openings over 24″ deep require 36″ clear. No projections below 34″; between 34″ and 80″, projection limit is 4″. Door closers/stops may be at 78″ minimum. At double-leaf doors, at least one active leaf must meet the cited clear-width and maneuvering requirements. Check each approach diagram.

Apply the figure matching front, hinge-side or latch-side approach and push/pull direction; include closer and latch conditions. Maneuvering surface slope: 1:48 maximum. For recesses: an obstruction within 18″ of the latch side and projecting more than 8″ triggers forward-approach clearance. Sliding/folding-door approach figures are also shown.

Interior hinged and sliding/folding opening force: 5 lb maximum, excluding fire doors and latch release. Fire-door force follows the appropriate authority. Provide smooth push-side surface within 10″ of floor; joints within 1/16″ plane and capped kick-plate cavities. The sheet lists exceptions for sliding doors, certain tempered-glass doors, and doors ending more than 10″ above floor. Vision-lite bottom: 43″ maximum; exception when lowest glass is above 66″.

Full-powered doors: referenced ANSI/BHMA A156.10; power-assist/low-energy: A156.19. Clear opening 32″ in power-on and power-off modes with all leaves open. Control switches need compliant operable parts and clear floor space beyond the door-swing arc.

Stable, firm, slip-resistant surfaces. Carpet securely attached; firm pad/backing or none; pile height 1/2″ maximum; exposed edges fastened and trimmed. Level change up to 1/4″ may be vertical. Over 1/4″ through 1/2″: bevel at 1:2 maximum. Over 1/2″: ramp under the sheet’s referenced Sections 405/406.

Clear floor space: 30″ × 48″. Circular turning space: 60″ minimum diameter. T-turn fits a 60″ square with 36″ minimum arms/base, 12″ clear arm extensions and 24″ clear base extension; permitted knee/toe overlap is limited as described. Turning surfaces: no level changes; slopes up to 1:48. Alcove figures show additional approach clearances.

Toe zone: floor to 9″ high; 30″ minimum width; depth 17″ minimum where required, 25″ maximum. Extension over 6″ beyond available knee clearance is excluded. Knee zone: 9″–27″ high; 30″ minimum width; at least 11″ deep at 9″ high and 8″ deep at 27″ high; 25″ maximum depth. Reduction rate: 1″ depth per 6″ height.

Objects with leading edges above 27″ and up to 80″ may project 4″ maximum into circulation paths. Handrail exception: 4-1/2″ maximum. Coordinate cabinets, signage, devices and fixtures along routes.

Unobstructed forward and side reach: 15″–48″. Forward obstruction: reach depth ≤20″ allows 48″ high; depth >20″ to 25″ allows 44″ high. Side obstruction: 34″ maximum height and 24″ maximum depth; reach ≤10″ allows 48″ high, >10″ through 24″ allows 46″ high. Laundry obstruction-height exception: 36″.

Provide clear floor space and place operable parts within reach ranges. One-hand operation without tight grasping, pinching or wrist twisting; activation force 5 lb maximum. Apply to lighting, panels, switches, receptacles, environmental/appliance controls, windows, plumbing and security/intercom controls.

Call buttons raised or flush, at least 3/4″ in the smallest dimension; objects beneath call buttons may project 1″ maximum. Provide clear floor space. Coordinate call-button and visible-signal mounting with the sheet’s elevator figures and elevator submittal.

Accessible primary entrance on an accessible route; not through a bedroom unless it is the only entrance. Connect unit spaces/elements to circulation and provide turning spaces, subject to the printed bathroom and shallow-closet exceptions. Door maneuvering, controls and laundry must comply with the sheet requirements. Clear parallel approach on both sides of bed. Follow bathroom and kitchen drawings.

A0.3 calls for at least two accessible means of pool entry and one for hot tubs/spas. Follow pool drawings for the selected access systems; transfer-step dimensions are illustrated on this sheet.

Lift at water depth ≤48″. Raised seat centerline ≥16″ from pool edge; intervening deck slope ≤1:48. Clear deck space 36″ wide × 48″ forward from a line 12″ behind rear seat edge; slope ≤1:48. Raised seat height 16″–19″; submerged seat ≥18″ below water. Capacity ≥300 lb with static-load resistance ≥1.5× rated load.
