A project has 2,400 square feet of office space that must comply with ADA requirements. What is the minimum number of accessible parking spaces required if the total parking lot has 85 spaces?
Correct Answer
D) 3 spaces
According to ADA requirements, for 76-100 parking spaces, a minimum of 3 accessible spaces is required (1 per 25 spaces). The office space square footage doesn't change this requirement - it's based on total parking spaces provided.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
According to ADA Standards, parking lots with 76-100 total spaces require exactly 3 accessible parking spaces. This follows the ADA requirement of 1 accessible space per 25 spaces for this range. The 85 total parking spaces falls within the 76-100 range, making 3 accessible spaces the correct minimum requirement. The office square footage is irrelevant to parking calculations.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option B: 5 spaces
2 spaces would be insufficient for 85 total parking spaces. This number would only be correct for parking lots with 51-75 total spaces. The ADA requires 3 accessible spaces for the 76-100 space range that includes 85 spaces.
Option C: 2 spaces
5 spaces significantly exceeds the minimum requirement for 85 total parking spaces. This number would be appropriate for much larger parking facilities with 151-200 total spaces, making it an overestimate for this scenario.
Memory Technique
Remember '76-100 needs 3' - when parking spaces are in the seventies to hundreds range, you need exactly 3 accessible spaces. Think 'Three for the high seventies to hundreds.'
