We recently received a complaint that a <br /> person was not allowed to use the restroom in a retail establishment based on their security policies. <br /> meg <br /> MEG HALEY, RAI City of Everett Permit Services <br /> 3200 Cedar St, Everett WA 98201 1425.257.8813 <br /> mhaley@everettwa.govi www.everettwa.gov/Permits <br /> ----------------------------------------- <br /> From: McCaughan, Joanne (DES) [mailto:joanne.mccaughan@des.wa.gov] <br /> Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 2:51 PM <br /> To: Meg Haley <br /> Subject: RE: Your IBC question <br /> I believe so; the opening paragraph of 2902.3 Employee and public toilet facilities, states that: <br /> Customers, patrons and visitors shall be provided with public toilet facilities in structures and tenant spaces intended for <br /> public utilization. <br /> So, there is a little wiggle room, i.e., depending on whether the location of the incident was or was not in a space <br /> intended for public utilization. <br /> JMc <br /> Joanne McCaughan/Code Specialist <br /> phone number:360-407-9279 <br /> Washington State Building Code Council <br /> Department of Enterprise Services <br /> PO Box 41449, Olympia,WA 98504-1449 <br /> www.sbcc.wa.gov <br /> joanne.mccaughan@des.wa.gov <br /> ------------------------- <br /> From: Meg Haley [mailto:MHaley(d)everettwa.gov] <br /> Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 2:41 PM <br /> To: McCaughan, Joanne (DES) <br /> Subject: RE: Your IBC question <br /> -------------------------------- <br /> Hi Joanne, <br />
