Requirements to be Waived.




9. Requirements requested to be waived. Please reference the applicable section of Florida law. Only Florida-specific accessibility requirements may be waived.


Issue 1: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other
We are asking if the Florida-Specific ADA Requirement outlined in Advisory Scope 201.1 (Florida) be waived and that the requirements in 201.1 Scope of the Federal ADA be applied instead.

According to the Federal Requirement "scoping limits the number of multiple elements required to be accessible" and therefore does not adhere to Section 201.1.1 Vertical Accessibility. Per code the entire garage (including both the existing and new spaces) are required to provide a total of 30 ADA spaces. All 30 of these spaces are on the ground floor so there are no accessible spaces above ground level requiring vertical accessibility.

 


Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking

Private Other Need Additional Space

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.
