Vertical accessibility waiver required.


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
Sections 553.501-513, Florida Statutes and Section 201.1.1 of the Florida Building Code.

  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other Need Additional Space

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:**



The implementation of an elevator mechanism would consume a substantial portion of the 1936 building's limited internal spatial capacity, rendering it technically infeasible to facilitate vertical access without compromising life-safety pathways, functional layout, and practical viability. See additional documentation attachment: Grounds For Waiver.




Adding an elevator into this 1936 building will be a disproportionate expense of $274,351.10 based on Estimate 1 and $296,000.00 based on Estimate 2, when the entire project only costs $285,754.10, which is 96.0% or 103.6% of the cost, respectively. See additional documentation attachment: Grounds For Waiver.
