Administrative approval of handrails details
Staff can administratively approve handrails per city code Sec 23-116 (3) to correct an unsafe or
dangerous condition. However, this is tempered against a change in design, material, or outer
appearance of the structure which requires a Certificate of Appropriateness with a public hearing.
Therefore, the administratively approved handrail must be stylistically simplistic.
Staff may approve a handrail with the following specifications on a case by case basis:
1. Handrail to be of black painted metal of ornamental iron components as shown in photo
#1.
2. There shall be no more than two posts on any freestanding handrail.
3. Posts shall be square stock.
4. Use handrail profile as shown in photo #2.
5. Terminate handrail with a lambs tongue return (photo #3.)
6. Handrail to be installed only at steps. No installation is approved on flat or sloped
surfaces.
7. Railing height shall be 34-36" above nosing of steps. Nosing is defined at the leading
front edge of the tread.
8. Staff to visit site and approve location before approval is granted.
