That the memorandum regarding Facility Accessibility Design Standards be received; and 2. That the Accessibility Advisory Committee comments regarding Facility Accessibility Design Standards be received and referred to staff for consideration and further action as appropriate. Background The purpose of the Facility Accessibility Design Standards (FADS) document is to address requirements for the design and construction of new facilities, as well as the retrofit, alteration or addition to existing facilities, owned, leased or operated by the Town of Aurora. This standard particularly addresses the needs of persons with disabilities, including, but not limited to, persons using a mobility aid, hearing loss, vision loss/no vision, cognitive disability, persons who are deaf-blind and persons with limited stamina and/or dexterity. Additionally, the Facility Accessibility Design Standards will also provide the opportunity to include and build on the Design of Public Spaces standards that provide requirements for the construction and redevelopment of elements in public spaces. This standard is intended to encompass the intent of the Ontario Human Rights Code, in terms of respecting the dignity of persons with disabilities. “The phrase ‘respects their dignity’ means to act in a manner which recognizes the privacy, confidentiality, comfort, autonomy and self-esteem of persons with disabilities, which maximizes their inclusion and which promotes full participation in society.” (Ontario Human Rights Commission) Page 50 of 198 Facility Accessibility Design Standards March 10, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Currently the Ontario Building Code and Design of Public Spaces standards provide the minimum requirement for accessibility. By adopting the Facility Accessibility Design Standards the Town of Aurora will exceed the minimum requirements to increase accessibility for a broader group of individuals. Good public spaces are planned and designed from the beginning with accessibility in mind. The intent of this manual is to provide a simple, easy to follow, compact resource so that staff and developers feel empowered, prepared, and equipped to accommodate the unique needs of individuals with disabilities.

This updated document outlines Twon-wide standards that build a universally-designed and accessible community for residents, visitors and employees. What’s new • changes to the Ontario Building Code 2020; • the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act’s (AODA) Accessibility Standards for the Design of Public Spaces (O. Reg. 413/12); • larger dimensional requirements of wheelchairs and scooters; • requirements related to sensory disability (i.e. vision and hearing loss); and DGGLWLRQDOVHFWLRQVWKHUDSHXWLFSRROVVSUD\SDGVZD\¿QGLQJDQGLQIRUPDWLRQV\VWHPV These standards are applied to all new and/or renovated Town owned, leased or operated facilities. In addition to our municipal facilities, we encourage their use throughout the community. We would like to thank and recognize contributions of: • The City of London for its generous permission to use the City of London 2015 Facility Accessibility Design Standards (FADS 2015) as the basis for this standard. • The Town of Aurora’s Accessibility Advisory Committee, $FFHVVLELOLW\&RRUGLQDWRUDQGWKH$FFHVVLEOH%XLOW(QYLURQPHQW6WDϑ Committee. 0U%RE7RSSLQJDQGRWKHUVWDϑRI'HVLJQABLE Environments Inc.

Page 59 of 198 Town of Aurora - 2021 Facility Accessibility Design Standards 1.0 IntroductionDRAFT1.0 INTRODUCTION This standard addresses accessibility requirements for the design and construction of new facilities, as ZHOODVWKHUHWUR¿Walteration or addition to existing facilities, owned, leased or operated by the Town of Aurora. This standard particularly addresses the needs of persons with disabilities, including, but not limited to, persons using a mobility aid, hearing loss, vision loss/no vision, cognitive disability, persons who are deaf-blind and persons with limited stamina and/or dexterity. This standard is intended to encompass the intent of the Ontario Human Rights Code, in terms of respecting the dignity of persons with disabilities. “The phrase ‘respects their dignity’ means to act in a manner which recognizes the SULYDF\FRQ¿GHQWLDOLW\FRPIRUW autonomy and self-esteem of persons with disabilities, which maximizes their inclusion and which promotes full participation in society.” (Ontario Human Rights Commission) This standard incorporates the belief in universal design that recognizes the broad diversity of people who use facilities. Universal design is GH¿QHGDV “The design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.” The universal design philosophy is structured around the seven DESIGN PRINCIPLES LISTED BELOW. (Refer to Appendix A for further information on the universal design principles and their guidelines.) 7KLVVWDQGDUGUHÀHFWVPLQLPXP dimensional criteria required for adult persons. Prior to the design stage of a project, special consideration should be given to the function of the facility and the patrons who will use it. A review and upgrade of this standard may be required in some instances, particularly if a facility is designed primarily for the use of a particular type of user, such as children or older persons. :KHUHFRQÀLFWVH[LVWEHWZHHQ scoping and/or dimensional requirements of this standard and legislation enacted by the federal or provincial governments’, the most accommodating requirements shall apply (i.e. the requirement(s) that will result in the most accommodating environment but never less than the minimum requirements of the current Ontario Building Code). The Facilities and Property Management Division of the Town of Aurora shall review and/or update this standard as necessary, to UHÀHFWWHFKQRORJLFDODGYDQFHPHQW and new construction practices, as well as changes to the barrier-free design requirements of various codes and standards such as the Ontario Building Code (OBC), Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), and the CSA Standard B651 - Accessible Design for the Built Environment. This standard recognizes the concept of equivalent facilitation as a means to encourage new and innovative design ideas and solutions. Departures from particular technical and scoping requirements of this standard by the use of other designs and technologies are encouraged when the alternatives will provide substantially equivalent or greater access to the usability of the element and/or facility. Design departures from information provided and referenced in this standard should be carefully assessed to determine the validity of the application and may require review by the Accessibility Coordinator. Dimensions used in this standard are in metric units. Nearest imperial equivalent dimensions are in parentheses. For the purposes of this standard, words and terms in italics have their PHDQLQJVGH¿QHGLQ6HFWLRQ The Town of Aurora encourages all users of this standard to provide feedback, as well as to make proposals for changes, additions and/or deletions. A proposed Change Order Form is included in Appendix B of this standard. 1. EQUITABLE USE: The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities. 2. FLEXIBILITY IN USE: The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. 3. SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE USE Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. 4. PERCEPTIBLE INFORMATION: 7KHGHVLJQFRPPXQLFDWHVQHFHVVDU\LQIRUPDWLRQHϑHFWLYHO\WRWKHXVHUUHJDUGOHVVRIDPELHQWFRQGLWLRQVRU the user’s sensory abilities. 5.

LOW PHYSICAL EFFORT: 7KHGHVLJQFDQEHXVHGHϒFLHQWO\DQGFRPIRUWDEO\ZLWKDPLQLPXPRIIDWLJXH 7. SIZE AND SPACE FOR APPROACH AND USE: Appropriate size and space are provided for approach, reach, manipulation and use, regardless of user’s body position, size, posture or mobility.

WORK AREAS AND EMPLOYEE-DESIGNATED AREAS All facilities shall be accessible for employees, as well as patrons/ users. All areas intended for use by employees shall be designed and constructed to comply with this standard. TEMPORARY FACILITIES This standard applies to temporary facilities, as well as permanent facilities. RETROFITTING, ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS Each addition to an existing facility shall be regarded as an alteration. Each space or element added to the existing facility shall comply with the applicable provision(s) of this standard. Except where the provision of accessible features is technically infeasible, no alteration shall GHFUHDVHRUKDYHWKHHϑHFWRI decreasing accessibility or usability of an existing facility to below the requirements for new construction at the time of alteration. If existing elements, spaces or common areas are altered, then each such altered element/ space/feature/area shall comply with all applicable provisions. If the applicable provision for new construction requires that an element/space/feature/area be on an accessible route and the altered element/space/feature/area is not on an accessible route, this route shall be altered to become accessible. If alterations of single elements, when considered together, amount to an alteration of a room or space in a facility, the entire space shall be made accessible. No alteration of an existing element, space or area of a facility shall impose a requirement for greater accessibility than that which would be required for new construction. If an escalator or stairs are proposed as a means of access where none existed previously, and PDMRUVWUXFWXUDOPRGL¿FDWLRQVDUH necessary for such installations, then a means of accessible access shall also be provided. If a planned alteration entails alterations to an entrance, and the facility has an accessible entrance, the entrance being altered is required to be accessible. If the alteration work is limited solely to the electrical, mechanical or plumbing system, or to hazardous material abatement, or WRDXWRPDWLFVSULQNOHUUHWUR¿WWLQJ and does not involve the alteration of any elements or spaces required to be accessible under these guidelines, then this standard does not apply (except for alarms, public telephones and assistive listening systems).

However, ramps can be problematic in providing accessibility. RampsFDQEHGLϒFXOW and dangerous to negotiate. Also, the physical space required for ramps makes them cumbersome to integrate into a facility. However, where a change in level already exists or cannot be avoided, a properly designed ramp can provide access for those using wheelchairs or scooters, pushing strollers or moving packages on a trolley. The design of the ramp is critical to its usefulness and safety. A steeply inclined rampLVGLϒFXOWWRDVFHQG when using a wheelchair, and can increase the risk of the wheelchair tipping backwards. Descending a steep ramp can also be hazardous. Any cross slope will further increase WKHHϑRUWUHTXLUHGWRQHJRWLDWHWKH ramp. Manoeuvring space at the top and bottom are also important factors in a ramps usability. Level areas at points along a long ramp enable an individual to rest. Textured surfaces, edge protection and handrails all provide important safety features. Heated surfaces are recommended to address the safety concerns associated with snow and ice. APPLICATION Any part of an accessible route with a slope steeper than 1:20 (5%) shall be considered a ramp and shall comply with this section. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS Accessible ramps shall be on an accessible route complying with 4.1.4.

The authors, a working group of architects, product designers, engineers and environmental design researchers, collaborated to establish the following Principles of Universal Design to guide a wide range of design disciplines, including environments, products, and communications. These seven principles may be applied to evaluate existing designs, guide the design process and educate both designers and consumers about the characteristics of more usable products and environments. The Principles of Universal Design are presented here, in the following format: name of the principle, intended to be a concise and easily remembered statement of the key concept embodied in the principle; GH¿QLWLRQRIWKHSULQFLSOHDEULHI description of the principle’s primary directive for design; and guidelines, a list of the key elements that should be present in a design which adheres to the principle. (Note: all guidelines may not be relevant to all designs.) 35,1&,3/(21((TXLWDEOH8VH The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities. Guidelines: 1a. Provide the same means of use for all users: identical whenever possible; equivalent when not. 1b. Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users. 1c. Provisions for privacy, security, and safety should be equally available to all users. 1d. Make the design appealing to all users. PRINCIPLE TWO: Flexibility in Use The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. Guidelines: 2a. Provide choice in methods of use. 2b. Accommodate right- or left- handed access and use. 2c. Facilitate the user’s accuracy and precision. 2d. Provide adaptability to the user’s pace. PRINCIPLE THREE: Simple and Intuitive Use Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. Guidelines: 3a. Eliminate unnecessary complexity. 3b. Be consistent with user expectations and intuition. 3c. Accommodate a wide range of literacy and language skills. 3d. Arrange information consistent with its importance. H3URYLGHHϑHFWLYHSURPSWLQJ and feedback during and after task completion.

Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations. PRINCIPLE FIVE: Tolerance for Error The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. Guidelines: 5a. Arrange elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements eliminated, isolated, or shielded. 5b. Provide warnings of hazards and errors. 5c. Provide fail-safe features. 5d. Discourage unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance. PRINCIPLE SIX: Low Physical (ϑRUW 7KHGHVLJQFDQEHXVHGHϒFLHQWO\DQG comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue. Guidelines: 6a. Allow user to maintain a neutral body position. 6b. Use reasonable operating forces. 6c. Minimize repetitive actions. 6d. Minimize sustained physical HϑRUW PRINCIPLE SEVEN: Size and Space for Approach and Use Appropriate size and space are provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use, regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility. Guidelines: 7a. Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user. 7b. Make reach to all components comfortable for any seated or standing user. 7c. Accommodate variations in hand and grip size. 7d. Provide adequate space for the use of assistive devices or personal assistance. Please note that the Principles of Universal Design address only universally usable design, while the practice of design involves more than consideration for usability. Designers must also incorporate other considerations, such as economic, engineering, cultural, gender, and environmental concerns, in their design processes. These principles RϑHUGHVLJQHUVJXLGDQFHWREHWWHU integrate features that meet the needs of as many users as possible.

A mental “map” is formed of the overall setting and the desired destination. This map is based on information obtained from “orientation cues” that are available from the setting’s environment. These cues include not only signage, but also the overall spatial forms, structures, sounds, surface textures, colours, illumination levels, architectural features, etc. Tactile maps and/ or recorded instructions can augment these orientation cues DQGHQDEOHSHRSOHWR¿QGWKHLUZD\ independently, even in complex settings.

The Design Development and Assessment Checklist has been created to assist staff, designers and contracted consultants with the application of FADS and ensure each element has been applied to each project and to document elements of a project which may have been technically infeasible to implement. In a retrofit situation where a design element has little likelihood of being accomplished due to structural conditions or other existing physical or site constraints prohibit modification, the TECHNICALLY INFEASIBLE ELEMENT FORM is to be completed and signed by the Facilities and Property Management Division Manager and maintained in the project file. Where an equivalent means of facilitation is being proposed to achieve the intent of part of the Standards, an EQUIVALENT FACILITATION PROPOSAL FORM is to be completed by the designer and forwarded to the City Project Manager and Accessibility Coordinator. This Checklist is a reference tool only and must be used in conjunction with the FADS document. It does NOT include all requirements or exceptions applicable to each design element. Staff and the prime consultant where applicable, shall complete this checklist during the design phase of each project. Checklists are to be signed by the appropriate manager and maintained in the project file.
