[P] 2902.2 Separate facilities.
Where plumbing fixtures are required, separate facilities shall be provided for each sex.
Exceptions:
1. Separate facilities shall not be required for dwelling units and sleeping units.
2. Separate facilities shall not be required in structures or tenant spaces with a total occupant load, including both employees and customers, of 15 or fewer.
3. Separate facilities shall not be required in mercantile occupancies in which the maximum occupant load is 100 or fewer.
4. Separate facilities shall not be required in business occupancies in which the maximum occupant load is 25 or fewer.
I have a business occupancy (35 OL) that requires separate facilities. The Architect has designed one to be accessible compliant and the other non accessible compliant and labeled them both gender neutral/unisex restrooms.
They meet the code of providing the minimum number of restrooms. However no where in the code does it require the first two rest rooms to be accessible compliant. It does require separate restrooms based on sex not gender.
I am old school and believe both restrooms need to be accessible no matter what they label the occupants/rooms.
How are others addressing this and what code provision are you citing?
