Requirements to be Waived.

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

201.1.1 Vertical accessibility. Elevators are required to provide vertical accessibility to all levels above and below the occupiable grade level.

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:**



We are not aware of any other two-story residential project in Broward County that has been required to install elevators.




This is an affordable housing project that is not relying on any government subsidies or tax credits. The cost of both installing the elevators and maintaining them on an annual basis makes this affordable housing project infeasible.
