Case Studies

Plaza de Monterey (Bristol Farms Market) Shopping Center

The shopping center property manager contacted Phil Kaplan to conduct an ADA access site analysis for the existing parking lot and path of travel to the stores and shops on the property. The owner was being asked to upgrade the entire site to meet current ADA access requirements before the new tenant (Bristol Farms Market) would agree to a lease.

The property was built in the 1980s before the passage of the ADA and required several modifications to become compliant with disability access requirements.

The Heiress Gift Shop

A small gift shop was facing an ADA lawsuit based on a number of compliance violation accusations. The site analysis determined that only a small number of low cost changes would be required in order to bring the property into access compliance. The store owner then complied with the recommendations and removed the barriers. As a result, the lawsuit was ultimately dropped.
