I currently own a two story commercial building. The building is an old 1900's building, so obviously there is no elevator. I am wanting to open an indoor batting cage facility on the second floor, since it is 3000 sqft of wide open space. My concern is there is only a stair way access to the second floor. Renovations will be virtually non-extant. All i would be doing is installing the poly net tunnels and pitching machines. What are my requirements to operate on the second floor? Do i need a handicap chair lift or anything. Or should i abandon the idea, because it would be just asking for ADA compliance fines? Also can i make it a private club and charge a "membership fee" and get around the ADA compliance issues?
thanks,
ps. i currently operate a retail store on the main floor of the building. The second floor is currently zoned residential, because there used to be apartments up there years ago.
