Sec.  8.26  Distribution of accessible dwelling units.



    Accessible dwelling units required by Sec.  8.22, 8.23, 8.24 or 8.25 

shall, to the maximum extent feasible and subject to reasonable health 

and safety requirements, be distributed throughout projects and sites 

and shall be available in a sufficient range of sizes and amenities so 

that a qualified individual with handicaps' choice of living 

arrangements is, as a whole, comparable to that of other persons 

eligible for housing assistance under the same program. This provision 

shall not be construed to require provision of an elevator in any 

multifamily housing project solely for the purpose of permitting 

location of accessible units above or below the accessible grade level.
