I am reviewing the applications for tin Uevisions to the toilet rooms(permit applications B1808-032 &033).There is a note on the plans stating that as the mezzanine levels are less than 3000 square feet that an accessible route (and corresponding accommodations) is not required. This analysis leads to the ambulatory toilet stalls not being provided in the proposal. The accessible route exceptions found in Section 1104.4 are exceptions only for the accessible route, not any accessible features on that floor level.The accessibility of toilet and bathing facilities is covered under Section 1109.2.There are no exceptions listed that indicate that if there is no accessible route,than no accessible features are likewise required. From the ADA Access Board Technical Guide (we don't enforce the ADA, however the rules are the same and explained in the guide—and are in effect for this facility) : Where Required: Multi-Story Buildings and Facilities [§206.2.3] An accessible route must connect each story and mezzanine in a facility unless an exception applies. However, if a building does qualify for an exception in the Standards: • all other provisions in the Standards still apply to stories and mezzanines not served by an accessible route • elevators provided anyway must fully comply (as standard or LULA elevators) • vertical access still may be required by an applicable state or local code. The restrooms that contain six or more fixtures should be provided with ambulatory stalls per Section 1109.2.2 Thank you, Tony Lee Building Official I Permit Services 425.257.8812 13200 Cedar Street, 2nd Floor, Everett,WA 98201 everettwa.gov/permits I Facebook I Twitter Note:Emails and attachments sent to and from the City of Everett are public records and may be subject to disclosure pursuant to the Public Records Act. 2
