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 The existing Historical wood stair of the building located at the lobby and is at the core of the building has been requested by the City of Hollywood to be brought up to the 2020 Florida Accessibility Code, with risers not exceeding 7” and stair treads at 11” minimum. Presently, the existing stair is non-compliant to the present 2020 Florida Building Code with existing stair treads at 10”. Bringing the original wood stair up to today’s Building Code, would require us to remove the original Historic Stair at each of the 3 Floors, and replace it with a longer new stair creating headroom issues, as well as not fitting within the existing building envelope, thereby destroying and threatening the Historical significance of the building.

Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other Need Additional Space

Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other


The City of Hollywood is requesting to reflect accessible routes within the interior and exterior of the building, and due to the building’s split-level design, it makes this accommodation impossible and would destroy the Historic significance of the building.
The building originally was built along the north and west property lines making it impossible to add a lift or an elevator on the exterior façade along those two sides.

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.
