Re: Condominium Application CDM-2024-02 (Submission #1)
1588 St. John’s Sideroad
To: Accessibility Advisory Committee
From: Gregory Peri, Accessibility Advisor
Date: November 13, 2024
Recommendation
1. That the memorandum regarding Condominium Application CDM-2024-02
(Submission #1) 1588 St. John’s Sideroad be received; and
2. That the Accessibility Advisory Committee comments regarding Condominium
Application CDM-2024-02 (Submission #1) be received and referred to staff for
consideration and further action as appropriate.
Background
The following comments have been submitted on October 29, 2024, and are
recommendations made on behalf of the Accessibility Advisory Committee:
For units with customer service counters, consideration for an accessibility spot and
induction loop.
Although the four (4) Barrier-Free Parking spaces meet the parking minimums,
recommend two (2) additional spaces by Unit 11 and Unit 12 to reduce the travel
from the existing spaces to the middle of the building.
Where a curb ramp meets the exterior path of travel (at each barrier-free access
aisle), ensure 1200mm from the top of the curb ramp to the end of the building to
avoid a cross slope across the path.
Automatic door openers for all public access locations, including proper timed door
delays
Should there be a washroom on main level and available to the public, ensure it is
served by the barrier-free path of travel and to be a universal washroom.

To ensure visibility on doors and windows, ensure a continuous, colour contrasting
opaque strip on the glass.
It appears there is a flush, level entrance to each unit. If not, ensure every public
entrance is accessible to enter.

Re: Accessibility Design Standards Analysis for Proposed Private School
240 Industrial Parkway South, Town of Aurora
1000259515 Ontario Inc. (Ms. Junqing Zhou)
Lot 57, Part 1, Plan 65R-2963, Town of Aurora
Dear Lawrence,
Brutto Consulting is pleased to submit this Accessibility Design Standards Analysis on behalf of
our client, 1000259515 Ontario Inc. (Ms. Junqing Zhou), in response to the Town of Aurora
Accessibility Design Standards which intends to implement standards that build a universally
designed and accessible community for its residents, visitors and employees. The purpose of
implementing these accessibility standards is to help standardize and encourage barrier free
access in all new buildings in the Town of Aurora.
The Subject Property is located on the west side of Industrial Parkway South and consists of one
lot with a total land area of 16,166 m2 (3.99 ac). The Site has 88.66 metres of frontage on Industrial
Parkway S and 182.88 metres of depth. The Subject Property is currently occupied by a large
industrial building that was previously occupied by a Flour Mill. The existing building on the Subject
Property will be retained and refitted to accommodate the development.
The Subject Property is rectangular in shape and is fully serviced with municipal water supply,
sanitary sewage, and storm sewers. The topography is generally flat and contains manicured lawns
as well as street trees.

Summary and Analysis of Accessibility Design Standards
As part of our analysis we have prepared the following materials that are enclosed within this
document (Refer to Appendix 1):
x Accessibility Design Standards Checklist (SP 07); and,
x Accessibility Design Standards Plan (SP 08).
The Accessibility Design Standards Checklist for the proposed private school at 240 Industrial
Parkway South, Aurora, follows the Town Facilities Accessibility Design Standards. The
Accessibility Design Standards Plan references where each section of the Checklist applies within
the proposed building renovation. The building areas include but are not limited to classrooms,
gymnasiums, storage rooms, building entrances, hallways, lobby, washrooms,
receiving/mechanical rooms, loading areas, signage, wheelchair access ramps and aisles, and
parking areas. This analysis evaluates compliance with the standards as outlined in Appendix 1 of
this document.
The following key accessibility design standards under Section 4.0 – Design Standards have been
evaluated as part of our analysis:
General Characteristics
Space and Reach Requirements (Section 4.1.1)
Section 4.1.1 intends to accommodate persons who use wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility
devices. The space and reach requirements include the following standards:
x 2440mm (96 inches) turning space for wheelchairs and scooters.
x 1370 x 810mm (54 x 32 inches) footprint for wheelchairs and scooters.
x Forward reach range from a seated position: 400 - 1200mm (15 ¾ - 47 inches).
x Side reach range from a seated position: 230 - 1370mm (9 - 54 inches).
Page 15 of 39
3 | Page
The proposed Site Plan (SP 08) has been designed to ensure that all spaces, including classrooms,
hallways, and other public areas meet these requirements to allow for unrestricted movement of
wheelchairs and scooters. The school hallways, classrooms, washrooms and other spaces will
provide the minimum required space and reach standards to accommodate people with
accessibility needs.
Ground and Floor Surfaces (Section 4.1.2)
Section 4.1.2 provides compliance measures for all ground and floor surfaces along all routes of
the building used by staff and students. As per this standard, all ground and floor surfaces shall be
stable, firm, slip-resistant and glare-free. The standard pertaining to changes in level does not
apply to this development as it will only have 1-storey.
The proposed private school will be designed to comply with the following standard requirements:
x Vertical level changes up to 6mm (¼ inch) which are deemed acceptable.
x Changes between 6.1mm and 13mm (9/32 - ½ inch) must be bevelled.
x Changes over 13mm must be ramped or use a curb ramp.
x Gratings must have maximum openings of 13mm, perpendicular to the direction of travel.
All flooring materials, including interior and exterior surfaces, noted on drawing SP 08 will meet
these level and surface requirements. Flooring transitions between different materials will also be
smooth and compliant. These details will be verified further during the Site Plan or Building Permit
Application.
Protruding and Overhead Objects (Section 4.1.3)
This standard intends to provide unobstructed pathways from protruding or freestanding objects
from walls, ceilings or other locations. The proposed private school will comply with the following
standards:
x Objects projecting more than 100mm (4 inches) to be cane-detectable.
x Lowest edge of protruding objects should not exceed 680mm (26 ¾ inches).
x Minimum headroom of 2100mm (82 ¾ inches).
Page 16 of 39
4 | Page
The interior design of the school floor plan will ensure all signage, architectural features, and
lighting fixtures are installed to meet these guidelines, particularly in hallways and common areas.
This can be examined further during the Site Plan application stage when more detailed floor plans
become available.
Accessible Routes, Paths, and Corridors (Section 4.1.4)
The intent of section 4.1.4 is to ensure the building addresses the full range of individuals that may
use it. The proposed private school must have the minimum required widths and clearances
necessary for persons using wheelchairs/scooters or those travelling in pairs. This section includes
the following requirements:
x Exterior routes must be at least 1500mm (59 inches) wide.
x Interior routes should be a minimum of 1100mm (43 ¼ inches) wide.
x Passing places required every 30m for routes narrower than 1830mm (72 inches).
x Slope no steeper than 1:25 (4%).
We can affirm that the all hallways, entrances, and exit routes meet the width and slope
requirements noted above. All of the exterior walkways will have a minimum width of at least
1500mm, the interior hallways will range between 2400-3000mm, and there will not be a need for
passing places as all routes will be wider than 1830mm. The slopes within the interior and exterior
of the building will also not surpass a slope of 4%. Refer to drawing SP 08 on Appendix 1.
Ramps (Section 4.1.9)
This section intends to provide well-designed ramps as these are essential for ensuring ease of use
and safety for individuals using wheelchairs, strollers, or trolleys. Steep inclines should be avoided
to decrease the risk of accidents, and adequate space for maneuvering is critical for a well-
designed ramp. Safety features like textured surfaces, edge protection, handrails, and heated
surfaces for winter conditions enhance ramp safety and functionality.
The requirements for this standard are as follows:
x Slope between 1:25 (4%) and 1:20 (5%).
Page 17 of 39
5 | Page
x Maximum 9 meters (29 feet 6 inches) between landings.
x Minimum landing dimensions: 2440 x 2440mm (96 x 96 inches) at top and bottom.
x Handrails required on both sides.
Any ramps within or leading to the building will comply with these dimensions. Proper handrails
will also be installed for safety and accessibility where required.
Stairs (Section 4.1.11)
As per this standard both interior and exterior stairs must adhere to specified regulations. However,
if the stairs are part of a retrofit connecting levels accessible by an elevator, ramp, or other means,
they are exempt from compliance. While dimensional changes to steps and landings are not
necessary, all other design requirements must still be met.
The requirements for stairs are the following:
x Open risers should not be used.
x Tread length between 280 - 355mm (11 - 14 inches).
x Riser height between 125 - 180mm (4 ⅞ - 7 inches).
While staircases are not proposed, our development proposal will ensure that any existing exterior
staircases meet these specifications and include detectable warning surfaces and handrails on
both sides.
Handrails (Section 4.1.12)
The requirement for handrails is that they must be 865 - 920mm (34 - 36 inches) high and color-
contrasted with the surrounding environment.
All handrail installations on all stairs, ramps, and other areas where required will be verified at the
site plan or building permit stage prior to final approval.
Page 18 of 39
6 | Page
Signage (Section 4.4.7)
As per this section, signage must comply with specified standards, including wall-mounted signs
for permanent rooms with tactile characters, as well as supplementary tactile markings for
regulatory, warning, and identification signs. Directional signs for functional spaces are also
required, while temporary signs like directories and menus are exempt. Key accessible features
must be marked with the International Symbol of Accessibility, including parking spaces, loading
zones, ramps, entrances, toilet facilities, telephones, elevators, egress routes, and rescue areas.
Audible signs for individuals with vision impairments may also be used.
The requirements are as follows:
x All signage must be accessible, using sans-serif fonts and Arabic numbers.
x Signage for permanent rooms must be tactile and on an accessible route.
x Signs should include the International Symbol of Accessibility.
A detailed pavement marking and signage plan will be provided at the Site Plan stage to ensure all
signage requirements are met. This will ensure that wayfinding signage throughout the exterior of
the building is accessible, well-placed, and compliant with tactile and visual requirements.
Detailed Floor Plans with accessible signage requirements will also be provided at this stage.
Lighting (Section 4.4.13)
This section states that exterior lighting must comply with the Illuminating Engineering Society
standards to ensure safe access for individuals with disabilities across pedestrian routes. Lighting
levels should be a minimum of 100 lux at entrances, 50 lux on frequently used paths, and 30 lux at
designated parking spaces, drop-off areas, and other key locations. Additional requirements
include lighting near steps to define treads and evenly distributed fixtures to minimize shadows.
Supplementary lighting is needed for signage and landmarks, with ground-level lighting designed to
avoid snow accumulation.
The standard requirements are as follows:
x Pedestrian entrance lighting should be at least 100 lux.
Page 19 of 39
7 | Page
x Evenly distribute lighting in interior spaces to minimize shadows and glare.
A Photometric Plan will be provided at the Site Plan stage to ensure all requirements for this
standard are met. The lighting design will be reviewed to ensure compliance with standards for
exterior and interior illumination, especially along accessible routes and signage.
Site Characteristics
Curb Ramps (4.1.10)
Section 4.1.10 emphasizes the importance of designing proper curb ramps to safely guide
pedestrians off roadways. Like regular ramps, curb ramps should have minimal slopes to avoid
hazards. Flared sides prevent pedestrians from accidentally stepping off edges, enhancing safety.
While a smooth transition benefits wheelchair users, it may pose risks for individuals with vision
impairments, making textured surfaces vital for alerting them to the transition from sidewalk to
street. Additionally, curb ramps must be kept clear of snow after each snowfall to maintain
accessibility and safety.
Proposed curb ramps shall meet the following requirements:
x Accessible curb ramps must be on an accessible route as per section 4.1.4.
x They must align with the safe pedestrian crossing route across the roadway.
x Running slope must be between 1:50 and 1:20 (2%-5%). In retrofits, a slope up to 1:12 (8%)
is allowed if necessary.
x Maximum cross slope should be no more than 1:50 (2%).
x Minimum curb ramp width is 1500 mm (59 in.), except in Depressed Curb configurations
where it can be 1220 mm (48 in.) at the top.
x Flared sides should be 900 mm (35-1/2 in.) wide, with a slope no steeper than 1:12 (8.3%)
if pedestrians may cross them.
x Curb ramp configurations must comply with Town and Regional standards.
To ensure that the private school meets the curb ramp accessibility standards, any proposed curb
ramps leading to and from the school entrances will be part of an accessible route in compliance
Page 20 of 39
8 | Page
with section 4.1.4, ensuring they connect seamlessly to walkways, parking lots, and to Industrial
Parkway South. The routes will be clearly marked and designed for safe pedestrian use.
The proposed curb ramps align with safe pedestrian crossings, and will guide students, staff, and
visitors safely across vehicle roadways, particularly near the school drop-off zone and parking
areas. The proper alignment of our proposed curb ramps ensures the shortest, most direct, and
safest route for pedestrians of all abilities. The slopes will not be exceeded.
The curb ramps will be at least 1500 mm (59 in.) wide to accommodate multiple users, including
those in wheelchairs, without congestion. If a Depressed Curb configuration is used in specific
areas, the width at the top of the ramp will not fall below 1220 mm (48 in.). The flared sides of curb
ramps, typically set at 900 mm (35-1/2 in.) with a slope no greater than 1:12 (8.3%), will be
integrated where pedestrians may walk across them.
Tactile warning strips can be installed on all curb ramps to aid individuals with vision impairments
by providing a clear indication of the transition from sidewalk to street. The school will also have a
robust maintenance plan to keep ramps free from snow and ice, particularly during winter months,
always ensuring safe use.
The proposed curb ramp designs will be detailed further at the Site Plan stage and will adhere to
all relevant Town and Regional standards. Drawing SP 08 on Appendix 1 illustrates our preliminary
curb ramp locations, and the universally accessible walkways and sidewalks.
Parking (Section 4.3.12)
Given the proposed use is a private school, it is essential to provide accessible parking spaces
close to the entrance to accommodate individuals with varying abilities and limited mobility. This
minimizes travel distances, especially outdoors where weather can pose challenges. Accessible
parking spaces should be wider to allow room for wheelchair maneuvering and may require
additional space for vans with lifts or ramps. Consideration for overhead clearance is also
important for accessible vehicles. The number of accessible parking spots may need to be
increased based on the facility's user demographics. Additionally, parking signs should be
positioned away from pedestrian routes to avoid hazards, ideally placed at the curb to mark the
end of parking spaces.
Page 21 of 39
9 | Page
The primary parking requirements can be summarized as follows:
x Accessible and limited mobility parking spaces must be provided according to Table 4.3.12
(4% of total parking spaces).
x Accessible route connecting parking spaces to building without traveling behind vehicles.
The proposed private school layout includes 6 accessible parking stalls out of a total of 83 spaces,
exceeding the minimum requirement of 4% (which equates to at least 4 accessible spaces as per
Table 4.3.12). These stalls are strategically located near building entrances, ensuring convenient
access for individuals with limited mobility and minimizing travel distances. Additionally, direct
pedestrian pathways connect the accessible parking spaces to the building, allowing safe and
unobstructed access without navigating behind vehicles. Overall, the design satisfies and
surpasses the necessary accessibility standards, enhancing both usability and safety for all users.
Our consulting team will ensure sufficient accessible parking is provided, along with appropriate
signage and connection to the building entrance.
Passenger Loading Zones (4.3.13)
Passenger-loading zones are essential for individuals with mobility challenges. These zones need
enough space for lifts or ramps in accessible transit vehicles and must ensure adequate overhead
clearance. Protection from weather is important for all users, especially those with mobility
difficulties.
In the case of the proposed private school, a passenger loading zone should include a driveway, a
lay-by for the stopped vehicles, the access aisle for the loading and unloading, and the pedestrian
path of travel. These are all being provided.
Landscaping Materials and Plantings (4.3.14)
As per this section, landscape materials should be chosen with diverse users in mind. Fragrant
plants can aid orientation for people with vision loss, and contrasting flowers can guide along
walkways. Plants with thorns or large seed pods can create hazards for walkers and wheelchair
users. Overhanging plants or tree limbs can impede all users, especially those with vision loss.
Page 22 of 39
10 | Page
Raised garden beds are helpful for people using mobility devices or those who have trouble
bending. Maintenance of unit paver surfaces is important to ensure ongoing accessibility.
Since most of the landscaping on site is existing and the proposed trees will be located away from
pedestrian activity. Any new tree and shrub planting as well as planter design will follow the design
requirements contained in section 4.3.14. The standards will be analyzed in further detail at the
Site Plan stage when both a Landscape Plan and Planting Details are available.
Building Characteristics
Entrances (Section 4.1.5)
The purpose of this standard is to ensure the primary building entrances are universally accessible
by including features that facilitate entry into the building. The primary requirement of this standard
as it applies to the proposed private school is that all public and staff entrances must be
accessible.
We can confirm that the existing building currently contains universally accessible entrances on
its primary entrances on the east and north facades, which will be further enhanced as part of the
building renovations to better suit the proposed private school. The drawing on Appendix 1 shows
an automatic door at the principal building entrance and several other doors that access onto the
existing sidewalks. The renovations will ensure that all entrances provide accessibility features,
such as ramps, automatic doors, and proper signage where required.
Doors (Section 4.1.6)
This section states that accessible doorways should accommodate various users, including those
in wheelchairs, strollers, or carrying items. Wide doorways without raised thresholds are essential,
and automatic door openers provide greater independence, especially for seniors and individuals
with mobility challenges. Entrances without doors are preferred where feasible. Doors should also
be easy to operate with one hand, avoiding heavy or two-handed mechanisms.
The requirements for doors under this standard are the following:
Page 23 of 39
11 | Page
x Power operators required at entrances, washrooms with accessible stalls, universal
washrooms, and change rooms.
x Clear opening of at least 950mm (37 ½ inches).
We can confirm that new doors used for the private school use will comply with these accessibility
standards, especially in high-use areas like entrances, washrooms, and classrooms.
Washroom Facilities
Washroom Facilities (Section 4.2)
In the proposed private school, washroom facilities should be designed to accommodate diverse
users, including individuals with disabilities. Individual washrooms should be provided, where
possible, to ensure privacy and ease of assistance. Safety is crucial, as washrooms can be prone
to accidents; therefore, design elements like door swings, material finishes, and emergency call
switches should be carefully considered. Clear identification through symbols or pictograms is
essential for accessibility, especially for those with visual impairments, while color-contrasting
features can further enhance usability.
The primary requirements for washroom facilities for the type of building being proposed can be
summarized as follows:
x One (1) universal washroom is required in addition to any accessible common-use toilets
for 1-storey buildings.
x Accessible toilet stalls and portable toilets must be provided at a minimum of 5% where
applicable.
As per drawing SP 08 on Appendix 1, at least 1 universal washroom is proposed near the building
entrance, and another 2 are being proposed in the boy’s and girl’s changeroom in the gymnasium
area. Also, four common-use washrooms are proposed within the private school building each
having six (6) toilet stalls including one (1) accessible stall. This means at least 15% of all toilet
stalls will be universally accessible. Prior to final approval, our team will ensure that all washroom
facilities, including accessible stalls and washrooms, are well-equipped and meet the space and
fixture requirements.

Other Amenities
Drinking Fountains (4.3.1)
When designing drinking fountains, the varying needs of different users must be considered. This
includes ensuring the height is accessible for individuals in wheelchairs or scooters, and those who
have difficulty bending, requiring higher fountains. The operating mechanism should accommodate
limited hand strength or dexterity. Fountains should be recessed to avoid obstructing the path of
travel, and angled alcove designs provide greater flexibility, requiring less precision for wheelchair
or scooter users.
The design requirements can be summarized as follows:
x On an accessible route.
x Cane-detectable at or below 680 mm.
x Clear floor space provided for either knee/toe clearance or parallel approach.
Any drinking fountain proposed with the premises of the private school will follow these
requirements.
Change/Dress Rooms (4.3.4)
Dressing rooms provided for school gymnasiums must comply with accessibility requirements
based on the following standards:
x Be on an accessible route.
x Have sufficient turning space in each changeroom.
x Have accessible benches and collapsible coat hooks.
The private school is proposing one change room for boys and one for girls, both of which will be
accessible and will include the above noted standards.
Page 25 of 39

Offices, Work Areas, and Meeting Rooms (4.3.5)
As per this standard, offices within the proposed private school should be accessible to people of
all abilities, with quiet environments to accommodate those with hearing loss and assistive
devices for individuals with speech difficulties. Workstations should meet the needs of wheelchair
users, where required, and circulation areas should accommodate mobility devices like scooters.
Natural-colored task lighting should be considered, especially for those with vision impairments,
and blinds should be used to reduce glare from reflective surfaces.
The primary accessibility standards for office spaces are as follows:
x Be on an accessible route.
x Provide 180-degree turning space for mobility devices.
x Include height-adjustable work surfaces in a minimum of 5% of workstations.
The above noted standards can be accommodated in the proposed office spaces of the proposed
use as required.
Tables, Counters and Work Surfaces (4.3.7)
The intent of this standard is that tables, counters, and work surfaces be designed to
accommodate both standing and seated users, including those in wheelchairs.
The primary requirements can be summarized as follows:
x Accessible tables, counters, and work surfaces must be on an accessible route per 4.1.4.
x Accessible routes must lead to and around these fixed or built-in surfaces.
x Wheelchair seating requires clear floor space of at least 810 mm (32 in.) x 1370 mm (54
in.).
The design of the private school will aim to adhere to these specifications in classrooms, dining
areas, libraries, and other spaces where tables and counters are installed. More specific
architectural plans will be reviewed in subsequent stages of the development application process
to ensure all dimensions and routes align with these requirements.
Page 26 of 39
14 | Page
Information, Reception and Service Counters (4.3.8)
This standard notes that service counters should be designed to accommodate all visitors by
offering multiple counter heights to suit persons of short stature and individuals using mobility
devices like wheelchairs. Lowered sections and knee space under the counter make them
accessible for those using wheelchairs or scooters. Assistive speaking devices help individuals
with low vocal volume, and color contrast, tactile differences, or audio landmarks aid visitors with
vision impairments in locating counters or speaking ports more easily.
The design requirements for reception and service counters is as follows:
x Counters must be located on an accessible route.
x At least one accessible counter section must:
o Have a height between 710 mm (28 in.) and 865 mm (34 in.).
o Have a surface width of at least 920 mm (36 in.).
o Have a counter depth no more than 1270 mm (50 in.).
o Provide knee space of at least 685 mm (27 in.) high, 480 mm (18-7/8 in.) deep,
and 810 mm (32 in.) wide.
x Wheelchair seating space at counters must have a clear floor space of 760 mm (30 in.) by
1370 mm (54 in.).
x Forward approach wheelchair spaces must provide clear knee space of 810 mm (32 in.)
wide, 480 mm (18-7/8 in.) deep, and 685 mm (27 in.) high, which may overlap the floor
space by 480 mm (18-7/8 in.).
x Assistive speaking devices must be provided, such as:
o Speech Transfer Intercom System with volume controls.
o Gooseneck or cordless microphone.
o Telephone system with voice/speech amplification.
x Speaking ports at accessible counters should be no higher than 1060 mm (42 in.).
The private school reception and service counter design will aim to comply with these accessibility
standards by ensuring an accessible route and incorporating at least one counter section with a
height between 710 mm and 865 mm. The counter surface width meets the 920 mm requirement,
and knee space is provided with appropriate dimensions on both sides. Additionally, the school
will look to include clear wheelchair seating space and forward approach knee clearance. Assistive

speaking devices, including a speech transfer intercom system and speaking ports no higher than
1060 mm, may also be installed to accommodate individuals with various needs.
Storage, Shelving and display Units (4.3.9)
Storage, shelving, and display units should accommodate a range of heights, including the lower
sightlines and reach of individuals using wheelchairs or scooters. Proper lighting and color contrast
are crucial for individuals with vision impairments.
The following standards should be followed to meet this standard:
x A clear floor space of at least 810 mm (32 in.) by 1370 mm (54 in.) must be provided for
forward or parallel wheelchair/scooter approach.
x Accessible storage spaces must be within specified reach ranges:
o Clothes rods/shelves: Maximum height of 1370 mm (54 in.) for side approach.
