1) Waive reading and adopt Ordinance requiring Universal
Design.
An Ordinance on Universal Design will have a financial impact on
the City due to the increased Staff time required to plan check,
permit and inspect the dwellings. This impact will be offset when
the City's valuation table in the City's Fee Schedule is amended to
achieve cost recovery of plan check, permit and inspection costs.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Background:
The City of Dublin adopted the Housing Element of the General Plan in 2003. The Housing Element was
certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development, and contains a number of
policies aimed at promoting equal housing opportunities for Dublin residents.
Program E.2.1 of the Housing Element states that "the City will evaluate the feasibility of a Universal
Design Ordinance that provides for greater adaptability and accessibility of housing for persons with
disabilities." Universal Design is defined as the design of products and residential environments to be
usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation. or specialized
modifications. Universal Design benefits persons of all ages and abilities, including seniors and persons
with disabilities.
The concept behind universal design is that, if desired, a new residence can be built with certain design
features that will make living in that home easier for someone with limited mobility, strength, or
functionality. Such features include door handles that are easier to grasp, doorways that are wider and
easier to navigate through, electrical outlets that are located higher on the wall and easier to reach, and
grab bars in baths and showers to provide stability and support.
The guiding principles behind Universal Design are that the features should be useful to people with
diverse abilities, easy to understand and utilize, require limited physical effort, and provide appropriate
space and size regardless of the user's body size, posture, or mobility.

In an effort to implement this program of the Housing Element, the City Council listed as a high priority
goal in the 2006-2007 Goals and Objectives, the preparation of a Universal Design Ordinance for
adoption as an amendment to the California Building Code requirements.
Proposed Universal Design Ordinance
The proposed Universal Design Ordinance requires projects in excess of 20 residential dwelling units
(including duplex and triplex units) to meet the Universal Design Requirements. The Ordinance mandates
that certain base universal design features be installed and mandates that other universal design features be
offered. The mandatory-to-install items are as follows:
. An accessible doorbell must be installed for an installed accessible entrance.
. Grab bar reinforcements must be installed in powder rooms or bathrooms located on the primary
entry level.
. Faucets and handles not requiring tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist must be
installed in powder rooms or bathrooms located on the primary entry level.
. Sink controls not requiring tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist must installed when a
kitchen is located on the primary entry level.
. Hand-activated door hardware not requiring tight grasping, pinching, or twisting ofthe wrist.
. Rocker light switches and controls or light switches and controls meeting ANSI A117.1 or the
CBC chapter llA.
· Receptacle outlets, lighting controls and environmental controls throughout the dwelling unit must
comply with CBC Chapter 11 A or applicable provisions of the California Electrical Code.
With regard to the mandatory-to-offer items, homebuyers would have the ability to purchase those items
as an option from the developer/builder.
This Ordinance will apply to 100% of the units in residential development projects in excess of 20
residential dwelling units.
City Council Action of September 18, 2007
On September 18, 2007, the City Council introduced the Universal Design Ordinance requiring proj ects in
excess of 20 single-family dwelling units (including duplex and triplex units) to meet certain Universal
Design Requirements. This Ordinance will apply to 100% of the units in those projects. The Ordinance
mandates that certain base universal design features be installed and mandates that other universal design
features be offered. With regard to the mandatory-to-offer items, homebuyers would have the ability to
purchase those items as an option from the developer/builder. In addition, the Ordinance has an "opt out
clause". The "opt-out" clause permits the buyer of a unit to forgo any or all of the mandatory installation
features.

Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Waive reading and adopt Ordinance requiring Universal
