Description:
Project is a multi-unit development incl. single-family home style buildings intended for transient lodging use. It is owned and will be operated by a single entity. As this is not a typical hotel configuration, guidance was sought reg. if the development would fall under residential or transient lodging requirements. At a mtg with OC Bldg Dept 8/3/18, it was determined that it would fall under transient lodging requirements and DOJ guidance was sought reg. parking for this non-standard layout.

*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
The local jurisdiction cannot waive the State requirements even though the parking is not required to be striped across the property per local requirements. (Mini/Max Code in effect). As this project does not fall within the standard definitions of transient lodging for parking, a recommendation to seek a waiver was suggested by the local jurisdiction to waive down to Federal Standards.

We request to waive the 2020 Florida Accessibility Building Code section 502.3.3 requirement of diagonally striping in an accessible parking access aisle, down to "marking" per the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.

FACBC 2020
Section 502.3.3 Marking
"Access aisles shall be marked so as to discourage parking in them. The access aisle must be striped diagonally to designate it as a no-parking zone."
2010 Standards
Section 502.3 Marking
"Access aisles shall be marked so as to discourage parking in them."


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:**



Striping of parking is not required by local jurisdiction for parking. The following is a quick summary, but additional space is need and full comments can be viewed in the Interplan Letter attachment under additional documentation.
"The hardship is caused by a condition or set of conditions affecting the owner which does not affect owners in general." Striping of parking is not required by local jurisdiction for parking. Marking/signing these in accordance with the FACBC will isolate and target the guests staying in the accessible units as vulnerable as they are clearly associated with these parking areas.
The Federal Standards allow for a more integrated look (colors/pavers and signage) to help integrate these spaces back into the community and reduce vulnerable population targeting.
