ADDITIONAL ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. (a) In a gated community or multi-unit housing project that has one or more vehicular gates: (1) at least one vehicular gate must be wide enough for fire-fighting vehicles, fire-fighting equipment, emergency medical services vehicles, or law enforcement vehicles to enter; and (2) at least one driveway apron or entrance from the public right-of-way must be free of permanent obstacles that might impede entry by a vehicle or equipment listed in Subdivision (1). (b) The county fire marshal or other authority shall waive the vehicular gate width requirements of Subsection (a) for a multi-unit housing project completed before January 1, 2002, if the requirements cannot readily be met because of space limitations or excessive cost. For purposes of this subsection, $6,000 per entrance based on the value of the dollar on January 1, 2000, is considered an excessive cost for expanding gate width and achieving an obstacle-free driveway apron or entrance. (c) A pedestrian gate in a gated community or multi-unit housing project must be located so as to provide firefighters, law enforcement officers, and other emergency personnel reasonable access to each building. (d) This section does not require a multi-unit housing project to have a vehicular gate or a pedestrian gate. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 111, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 2001.
