What is a Site Specific Alternate Design?
A site specific alternate design is an alternate design that departs from the technical and/or scoping requirements of Hawaii Revised Statutes §103-50, but provides substantially equivalent or greater access to and usability of the facility for persons with disabilities. Site Specific Alternate Design rulings by DCAB only apply to the project it was submitted for and the specific design that was proposed. Any deviations to that design must be submitted for another ruling and will require a public hearing. For more information, go to DCAB's web site:
