ADA standards for accessible parking (4.1.2(5)) states when a business restripes it's parking spaces, this is an alteration and triggers the requirement to provide accessible parking spaces. (1)One out of 25 spaces must be a Disable Parking Space and at least one space must be Van accessible. If the Parking Lot is open to the Public or the Landlord controls the parking, it is the landlord's responsibility to provide the correct amount of spaces. This is both a requirement of Federal and State Laws. It's cheaper to follow the Law than to face a dicrimination lawsuit.I'm surprise that the restriping company did not include Disable Parking, as they they are held to the same penalties as the Landlord can face. It would be a great idea to provide Disable Parking as 20% of the population is Elderly or Disabled.

Thanks for the reply, I'm just wondering what you (or others) might do if you were the landlord? Basically the parking lot is "full", that is, every space has been "given away" to somebody already under their own lease. So where would this disabled space go? A "van accessible" spot is really the size of 2 regular spots, and we only have about 15 spaces total. Somebody already has a "claim" to each of these spots. Is somebody going to have to give up space they've already been told to use under their lease?
