22511.10
. The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the
following:
(a) Two and one-half million Californians suffer from some form of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Those persons who are not in
wheelchairs have difficulty walking long distances.
(b) Encouraging those with physical disabilities to engage in
activities outside of the home promotes better health and
self-esteem, thereby lowering health costs.
(c) Placing disabled person parking spaces closest to the main
entrances of buildings does not cost taxpayers, but provides
accessibility to the physically disabled.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting Section
22511.11, to direct the Office of the State Architect to propose
regulations that require disabled person parking spaces to be located
on the shortest accessible route of travel to an accessible entrance
or exit of a building or parking facility.
