Some commenters suggested that access to restrooms and other shared
facilities open to the public should be required even if those
facilities were not on a shopping floor. Such a provision with respect
to toilet or bathing facilities is included in the elevator exception in
final ADAAG 4.1.3(5).
For purposes of this subpart, the rule does not distinguish between
a shopping mall (usually a building with a roofed-over common
pedestrian area serving more than one tenant in which a majority of the
tenants have a main entrance from the common pedestrian area) and a
shopping center (e.g., a shopping strip). Any facility housing
five or more of the types of sales or rental establishments described,
regardless of the number of other types of places of public
accommodation housed there (e.g., offices, movie theatres, restaurants),
is a shopping center or shopping mall.
For example, a two-story facility built for mixed-use occupancy on
both floors (e.g., by sales and rental establishments, a movie theater,
restaurants, and general office space) is a shopping center or shopping
mall if it houses five or more sales or rental establishments. If none
of these establishments is located on the second floor, then only the
ground floor, which contains the sales or rental establishments, would
be a shopping center or shopping mall, unless the second floor was
designed or intended for use by at least one sales or rental
establishment. In determining whether a floor was intended for such use,
factors to be considered include the types of establishments that first
occupied the floor, the nature of the developer's marketing strategy,
i.e., what types of establishments were sought, and inclusion of any
design features particular to rental and sales establishments.
