Discussion, review, and recommendations on declaratory statement DCA09-DEC-130 were deliberated by the committee and consensus was to agree with staff‘s recommendation.  The following is the TAC recommendation/action:

Question:          Does the restaurant in question meet exception 3 of section 403.2 allowing it to have a single toilet room or since it is a food service establishment does it require separate facilities since it seats more then 10 which is implied in exception 2.

 

Answer:            As per section 102.1, since the requirements of section 403.2, Exception 2 of the FBC, Plumbing is more specific and restrictive than those of section 403.2, Exception 3 of the FBC, Plumbing, or section 309.1 of the FBC, Building with regard to “food service establishment”; the project in question is required to provide for separate facilities.
