Office of the County Clerk
L
From: Christopher J. Yuen, Deputy Corporation Counsel
Subject: Bill No. 1038 - Ordinance Requiring
Handicapped Accessible Restrooms.
At your request, I have changed Bill No. 1038 slightly
to conform to the present County Code.
I have also made a slight change at the beginning of
11c(1)" to make it clear that this bill would create an
exception to the present Building Code, which allows
existing buildings to continue although not in conformance
with the Code.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.
