Sec. 1.8g Materials and Methods determines the extent
of “technical infeasibility”. The definition of technical infeasibility
is found in Sec. 1.3 Definitions.

The NCRC has some technical requirements besides the
scope requirements.
Q: What happens when you are dealing with narrow
stalls and cannot
upgrade to 60”x60”?
First check out alternate stall minimums. If you have
a situation that is technically infeasible with regards to accessibility
then you must reach an acceptable compliance with the code enforcement
official. It is important to understand maneuverability.
