The meaning of terms not specifically defined in 106.5 or in regulations issued by TDLR to implement Chapter 469, or in referenced standards, are as defined by collegiate dictionaries in the sense that the context implies.

106.3 Undefined Terms

The following terms are not defined in TAS, therefore, based on 106.3, they shall have

the following meanings:

Texas Department of Licensing and RegulationExcerpt from

These terms are used interchangeably.

A small kitchen or alcove containing cooking facilities.

Kitchen

Kitchenette

A place (as a room) with cooking facilities.


Cooking Facilities

Excerpt from

Range Oven Cooktop Microwave Oven Convection Oven

This term is not defined in collegiate dictionaries, however, “Cook” means “To prepare food for eating especially by means of heat.”

Therefore, based on this definition and input from the U.S. Access Board, cooking facilities shall include the following:


Wet BarA bar for mixing drinks that contains only a sink with running water.

A bar used for purposes other

than drink preparation is not

a wet bar.

Scope

Scoping: 201.1

Fixed or Built-In


201.1 ScopeThese standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings…


Since TAS only applies to fixed or built-in elements based on 201.1, the “cooking facilities” provided in a space must be fixed or built-in for the space to be considered a kitchen or kitchenette. The following is the criteria to be used when

determining if an appliance is fixed or built-in:


FixedThe appliance is attached to a cabinet, shelf, or other surfaces or to a gas supply.

The cabinetry design or location of utilities (i.e. gas supply or 220V electrical outlet) creates a dedicated shelf or space for the appliance.The following are examples of

fixed and built-in cooking facilities:

Built-In


Fixed Microwave Ovens

Attached to ShelfAttached to Cabinet


Built-In Microwave Ovens

Cabinetry design and location of electrical outlet creates dedicated space for the microwave oven.


Built-In Convection Oven

Cabinetry design and location of 220V outlet creates a dedicated space for the convection oven.


These microwaves are NOT built-in or fixed.


Fixed and Built-In Ranges

Cabinetry design and location of electrical and gas outlets create a dedicated space for the range.


Fixed Gas Range

Attached to a Gas Supply


Fixed or Built-in Cooktop

Appliance is attached and the cabinetry design and location of electrical outlet creates

a dedicated space for the cooktop.

SUMMARY


Spaces With Fixed or Built-In Cooking Facilities

The space must comply with 212 and 804 if at least one of the following fixed or built-in cooking facilities is provided:

Range Oven Cooktop Microwave Oven Convection Oven


The space is not required to comply with 212 and 804 if no fixed or built-in cooking facilities are provided.

Spaces Without Fixed or Built-In Cooking Facilities

However, the space must still comply with applicable provisions of TAS.


Example: NOT a KitchenThis space has no fixed or built-

in cooking facilities


Not a Kitchen: Compliance Requirements

5% of the sinks must comply with 606 based on 212.3.

At least one of each type of storage must comply with 309 based on 225.2.

Operable parts must comply with 309 based on 205.

Compliance with TAS is based on the elements provided.

Example: Typical requirements for

spaces that are not kitchens


Counter HeightNot a Kitchen

Excerpt from

No counter height requirement (except at a sink) for spaces that are not kitchens since 804.3.2 is applicable only to work surfaces in residential and transient lodging kitchens.

Example: Storage and operable parts must comply but not the counter height.

Scoping: 201.1

How Many?


201.1 ScopeThese requirements (TAS) are to be applied to all areas of a facility:

Unless exempted* or Where scoping limits the number of

multiple elements required to be accessible.

*Exemptions are identified in Rule

68.30 and TAS 203 and will not be

discussed during this presentation.


Common and public use spaces (defined below) such as break rooms and classroom kitchens are not exempted by Rule 68.30 or TAS 203.

How does 201.1 apply to common and public use

spaces?

Common Use: …spaces made available for the shared use of two or more people. (106.5.21).Public Use: …spaces in privately or publically owned buildings that are made available to the public. (106.5.50).


In addition, the scoping for kitchens (noted below) does not limit the number of common or public use kitchens required to be accessible.

Where provided, kitchens, kitchenettes, and sinks shall comply with 212. (212.1).

Therefore, 100% of all common and public use kitchens must be accessible.


The following slides identify additional entities that must comply with 804 (Kitchens and Kitchenettes).


Residential


Social Service Establishments (See 224.1, Exception 2)

809 Residential Dwelling Units

Excerpt from

809.3 Kitchen. Where a kitchen is provided, it shall comply with 804.


Accessible work surface is required based on 804.3 (optional in other types of kitchens but recommended except in housing at a place of education based on 224.6 Exception 1).

Knee and toe spaces under sinks and work surfaces can contain cabinetry if the exception criteria of 606.3(2) and 804.3.1 are met.

Major Differences Between Kitchens in Residential Facilities

& Other Kitchens

804.3 and the referenced exceptions will be discussed later in the presentation.

In pass through kitchens where counters, appliances or cabinets are on two opposing sides, or where counters, appliances or cabinets are opposite a parallel wall, clearance between all opposing base cabinets, counter tops, appliances, or walls within kitchen work areas shall be 40” minimum.


804.1 AdvisoryMeasuring Clearances

Clearances are measured from the furthest projecting face of all opposing:

base cabinets counter tops appliances walls…

…excluding hardware.


Cabinets on opposing sides.

Cabinets opposite a wall.

804.2.2 U-Shaped Kitchen In U-shaped kitchens enclosed on three

contiguous sides, clearance between all opposing base cabinets, counter tops, appliances, or walls within kitchen work areas shall be 60” minimum.


EXAMPLE: Knee and toe clearance at base of “T”.

60” front of “T” shall always be unobstructed.

Arm

Base

Acceptable: The 30” clear floor space for the work surface can be used as part of a T-shape turning space, if the clear floor space is increased to 36” (809.2.2 Advisory).


Unacceptable: Both clearances cannot be used under the work surface and the sink, as part of a T-shape turning space, since the knee and toe clearance is permitted only: At the end of

the baseor

One arm.

(see 809.2.2 and 304.3.2)


A forward approach requires 6” of additional maneuvering clearance when the clear floor space is located in an alcove deeper than 24” (305.7.1).

811 Storage

General. Storage shall comply with 811.

Clear Floor or Ground Space. A clear floor or ground space complying with 305 shall be provided (811.2).

Height. Storage elements shall comply with at least one of the reach ranges specified in 308 (811.3).

48

max

This scenario is unlikely due to the depth of base cabinets.


Obstructed High Reach: 24” Obstruction

Figure 308.3.2(b) shows the upper reach lowered to 46” maximum when the counter top is 34” maximum but the depth of the counter exceeds 10” (24” maximum) (308.3.2).

46
