The disability-parking law covers off-street shopping-center spaces. What does the manual list as the minimum size that triggers the rule?
-
A.
Ten or more off-street public parking spaces total
-
B.
Five or more stores and twenty or more parking spaces Correct
-
C.
Any privately-owned lot that is open to the public
-
D.
At least one anchor store larger than 5,000 square feet
The answer is "Five or more stores and twenty or more parking spaces"
The trigger is five or more stores and twenty or more off-street public spaces, catching small strip malls but not tiny corner lots. Ten is the round figure a reader lands on when the actual space count has slipped from memory, which sends drivers to A.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Ten or more off-street public parking spaces total
The manual sets the space threshold at twenty, not ten. This answer substitutes ten for twenty, because ten is the round figure a reader lands on when the actual number has slipped.
C. Any privately-owned lot that is open to the public
Private ownership alone does not trigger the rule; the manual applies a store-and-space test. This answer reads the rule as covering every private lot, missing the sized-shopping-center scope.
D. At least one anchor store larger than 5,000 square feet
The manual measures by store count and space count, not by store size. This answer applies a big-box zoning test that the manual never uses to define a covered center.
