Issue 1: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other



Section 206.2.3 Multi-Story Buildings and Facilities

Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking

Grounds for waiver.


10. Grounds for Waiver: The Florida Building Commission may grant waivers of Florida-specific accessibility requirements upon a determination of unnecessary, unreasonable or extreme hardship. Please describe how this project meets the following hardship criteria. Explain all that would apply for consideration of granting the waiver.


NOTE:**



1) This is a 22 unit hotel in Key West, FL. We are proposing 1 unit to be fully ADA compliant and 11 units to be wheelchair accessible.

2) All units have the same floor plan and all other components and common areas are fully ADA accessible.

3) This project is in a historic district and controlled by the Historic Architectural Review Committee. Vertical accessibility design elements provide a significant challenge.

4) Key West has a vertically limited construction area. Site restraints create extremely dense design areas.

5) The 11 units that are not provided with vertical ADA accessibility are not designed nor required to be fully ADA compliant. All vertical accessibility components are met except for wheelchair use.
