Bill Pass and Chair of Senate. Please read the next agenda item. Agenda item 24 cancel 119333. Relating to planning and zoning in many sections. 11.14 point 150. 23.50 3.006.0 15.3 2020 2320 48.002.006.0 37. District Code for pedestrian access and circulation to make corrections. The committee recommends the bill passes amended. Councilmember Johnson thinks this legislation is required to help bring the city into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. It explicitly calls out curb ramps as a part of pedestrian access and circulation requirements would require corner lot development projects to construct new curb ramps and curbs, which was an ambiguity in the current code requires development inside urban centers and urban villages to improve existing sidewalks, curbs and curb ramps. The current standards and defines accessibility terms and makes minor changes to add clarity on the curb ramps are only one of many options possible for improvement during developments. This doesn't change the types of projects exempted from those requirements, but then again does require particular development projects like ones on corner. Lots to make investments in new curb ramps. A lot of public outreach done on this topic to both the Commission for People with Disabilities, the Bike and PED Advisory Board, the Master Builders Association, and was unanimously approved by committee. Very good. Any further comments in that? Please call the roll on the passage of the bill. Gonzalez HERBOLD Hi. JOHNSON Whereas. O'BRIEN So on.
