31B-158 (2) 521 CMR: ARCHITECTURAL ACCESS BOARD 3.00: JURISDICTION 3.11 SECURITY STRUCTURES Accessibility is not required to observation galleries used primarily for security purposes. 3.12 NON - OCCUPIABLE SPACES Spaces accessed only by ladders, catwalks, crawl spaces, or freight (non - passenger) elevators, and frequented only by service personnel for repair purposes, are exempt. Such spaces may include, but are not limited to, elevator pits, elevator penthouses, piping or equipment catwalks. 1/27/06 521 CMR - 12 521 CMR: ARCHITECTURAL ACCESS BOARD 3.00: JURISDICTION 3.6 MULTIPLE USES When a building is occupied by two or more uses, the Regulations which apply to each use shall apply to such parts of the building within that use. 3.6.1 521 CMR 3.3, Existing Buildings shall apply based upon each use and not on the entire building. Example: If a three story building valued at $300,000 has one floor of retail use and two floors of residential use, the full and fair cash value of the retail portion shall be 1/3 of the total value which would be $100,000. 3.7 PARTIAL APPLICATION When only a portion of a building is subject to 521 CMR, thefull and fair cash value shall be prorated by the ratio of the square footage of that portion to the square footage of the whole building. Example: Where the whole building is 100,000 square feet, thefull and fair cash value is $1,000,000, and the part subject to 521 CMR is 10,000 square feet (one -tenth of the total), then the full and fair cash value of the part subject to 521 CMR would be one -tenth of $1,000,000 or $100,000. 3.7.1 If the Board determines that such prorating would cause an inequitable result, the Board may otherwise calculate the full and fair cash value of the portion of the building. 3.8 OUTDOOR FACILITIES For facilities where the primary function areas are outdoors, including but not limited to beaches, parks, picnic areas, playgrounds, and campsites, thefull and fair cash value shall include the value of the land as well as any buildings or facilities on the land. 3.9 HISTORIC BUILDINGS An historic building or facility that is listed or is eligible for listing in the National or State Register of Historic Places or is designated as historic under appropriate state or local laws may be granted a variance by the Board to allow alternate accessibility. If a variance is requested on the basis of historical significance, then consultation with the Massachusetts Historical Commission is required in order to determine whether a building or facility is eligible for listing or listed in the National or State Register of Historic Places. The Massachusetts Historical Commission may request a copy of the proposed variance request and supporting documentation to substantiate the variance request and its effect on historic resources.

Where the cost of constructing an addition to a building amounts to 30% or more of the full and fair cash value of the existing building, both the addition and the existing building must be fully accessible. 3.3.3 Alterations by a tenant do not trigger the requirements of 521 CMR 3.3.Ib and 3.3.2 for other tenants. However, alterations, reconstruction, remodeling, repairs, construction, and changes in use falling within 521 CMR 3.3.1b and 3.3.2, will trigger compliance with 521 CMR in areas of public use, for the owner of the building. 3.3.4 No alteration shall be undertaken which decreases or has the effect of decreasing accessibility or usability of a building or facility below the requirements for new construction. 3.3.5 If alterations of single elements, when considered together, amount to an alteration of a room or space in a building or facility, that space shall be made accessible. 3.3.6 No alteration of an existing element, space, or area of a building or facility shall impose a requirement for greater accessibility than that which would be required for new construction. 3.4 CHANGE IN USE When the use of a building changes from a private use to one that is open to and used by the public, an accessible entrance must be provided, even if no work is being performed. When a portion of a building changes use from a private use to one that is open to and used by the public, then an accessible route must be provided from an accessible entrance even if no work is being performed. 3.4.1 RESERVED FOR FUTURE ACTION: Changes in use, from private to public, in private residential homes where no work is being performed. 3.5 WORK PERFORMED OVER TIME When the work performed on a building is divided into separate phases or projects or is under separate building permits, the total cost of such work in any 36 month period shall be added together in applying 521 CMR 3.3, Existing Buildings. 1/27/06 521 CMR - 10 521 CMR: ARCHITECTURAL ACCESS BOARD 521 CMR 3.00: JURISDICTION 3.1 SCOPE All work performed on public buildings or facilities (see 521 CMR 5.00: DEFINITIONS), including construction, reconstruction, alterations, remodeling, additions, and changes of use shall conform to 521 CMR. 3.1.1 To determine the scope of compliance, refer to 521 CMR 3.2, New Construction and 521 CMR 3.3, Existing Buildings.
