| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Condominium Property Act is amended by | ||||||
5 | adding Section 18.12 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (765 ILCS 605/18.12 new) | ||||||
7 | Sec. 18.12. Accessible parking. | ||||||
8 | (a) The board of managers shall adopt a policy to | ||||||
9 | reasonably accommodate a unit owner who is a person with a | ||||||
10 | disability who requires accessible parking. Such a policy | ||||||
11 | shall include, without limitation, the procedure for | ||||||
12 | submitting a request for an accessible parking space and the | ||||||
13 | time in which the board shall review the request. The time for | ||||||
14 | review shall not be more than 45 days from the date the request | ||||||
15 | is submitted. The board must review and make a decision on the | ||||||
16 | request within a reasonable period of time. A copy of such | ||||||
17 | policy shall be given to any unit owner upon request. The board | ||||||
18 | of managers shall adopt such policy no later than 90 days after | ||||||
19 | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General | ||||||
20 | Assembly for condominiums existing on said effective date or | ||||||
21 | 90 days after the date of the election of the initial board of | ||||||
22 | managers pursuant to Section 18.2 of this Act. | ||||||
23 | (b) The board of managers shall make reasonable efforts to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facilitate a resolution between unit owners to provide for | ||||||
2 | accessible parking when the association does not own or | ||||||
3 | otherwise control parking that meets the accessible parking | ||||||
4 | needs of a unit owner who is a person with a disability who | ||||||
5 | requires accessible parking. | ||||||
6 | (c) For all new construction condominiums and conversion | ||||||
7 | condominiums submitted to the provisions of this Act after the | ||||||
8 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General | ||||||
9 | Assembly, all accessible parking spaces constructed or created | ||||||
10 | in accordance with applicable federal, State, and local | ||||||
11 | building and accessibility statutes, codes, and ordinances | ||||||
12 | must remain part of the common elements. No developer or | ||||||
13 | declarant shall construct, create, or otherwise make parking | ||||||
14 | units (a unit as defined in Section 2 of this Act that is a | ||||||
15 | parking space) or limited common elements of such accessible | ||||||
16 | parking spaces. The board of managers has the authority to | ||||||
17 | establish rules and regulations for the use of such common | ||||||
18 | element accessible parking spaces, including, but not limited | ||||||
19 | to, renting or licensing such common element accessible | ||||||
20 | parking spaces to non-disabled unit owners, provided that the | ||||||
21 | rules and regulations must provide that a unit owner who is a | ||||||
22 | person with a disability who requires accessible parking has | ||||||
23 | priority over non-disabled unit owners, and that non-disabled | ||||||
24 | unit owners must immediately stop using such common element | ||||||
25 | accessible parking space when a request by a unit owner who is | ||||||
26 | a person with a disability for accessible parking is approved |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by the board. | ||||||
2 | Nothing in this subsection (c) shall preclude a disabled | ||||||
3 | person from purchasing a parking unit or a residential unit to | ||||||
4 | which a limited common element parking space is assigned, and | ||||||
5 | no developer or declarant shall refuse to sell a parking unit | ||||||
6 | to a disabled person or assign a limited common element | ||||||
7 | parking space to a residential unit purchased by a disabled | ||||||
8 | person. If a disabled person purchases a parking unit or a | ||||||
9 | residential unit to which a limited common element parking | ||||||
10 | space is assigned, that unit owner who is a person with a | ||||||
11 | disability who requires accessible parking may request use of | ||||||
12 | a common element accessible parking space in exchange for | ||||||
13 | permitting the association use of that disabled unit owner's | ||||||
14 | parking unit or limited common element parking space. | ||||||
15 | (d) Subsections (a) and (b) apply to all condominiums that | ||||||
16 | have parking, regardless of whether the parking comprises | ||||||
17 | parking units, limited common elements, common elements, or | ||||||
18 | parking rights. | ||||||
19 | (e) An aggrieved unit owner, an aggrieved prospective unit | ||||||
20 | owner, or the board of managers may commence a civil action in | ||||||
21 | State court against a developer or declarant who fails to | ||||||
22 | comply with its requirements under subsection (c). If the | ||||||
23 | court finds that the developer or declarant failed to comply | ||||||
24 | with these requirements, it may award declaratory relief, | ||||||
25 | actual damages, punitive damages and, if appropriate, | ||||||
26 | equitable relief. |
