An extra step may be required for Barstow disabled residents wanting to add wheelchair ramps or other modifications to their homes.
The city planning department is developing an ordinance that would allow a disabled resident to apply for an exemption to a provision in Barstow’s zoning and land use code if it prevents them from accessing their homes.
Putting a wheelchair ramp or installing other modifications in a home currently requires a building permit, said City Planner Mike Massimini. But under the proposed reasonable accommodations ordinance if a person can show proof that he or she is disabled or is acting on behalf of someone who is disabled, depending on the request, another permit may not be necessary.
“In many cases it does not require a building permit,” he said. “Really it depends on the type of work.”
