Such features include: * Zero Step Entrances: no steps, is at least 36 " wide and is not steeper than 1:20 (5% grade) for walkways or 1:12 for ramps. * Minimum widths for ground floor doorways and hallways: The ground floor should have doorways designed to provide 32 " of clear space and hallways that have at least 36 " of clear width. * Ground floor bathroom. Basic access to a half bath or full bath on the ground floor. Regardless of implementing an accessible strategy versus a visitability one, both utilize Universal Design.
