Access to sanitary facilities one floor up or down?

[JPohling]

Existing building + 2013 California Building Code.

Why can I not find the code section that allows accessible sanitary facilities to be located a maximum of 1 floor above or below the space being served. I cannot find that jewel anywhere. CBC/CPC/ADASAD. I just read that section not to long ago and now I cannot find it..................so irritating :banghd

In 2012 IPC it is

403.3.3 Location of toilet facilities in occupancies other than malls.

In occupancies other than covered and open mall buildings, the required public and employee toilet facilities shall be located not more than one story above or below the space required to be provided with toilet facilities, and the path of travel to such facilities shall not exceed a distance of 500 feet (152 m).

Exception: The location and maximum travel distances to required employee facilities in factory and industrial occupancies are permitted to exceed that required by this section, provided that the location and maximum travel distance are approved.

But you are in California so your milage will vary

No such language in the 2013 CPC

422.4.1 CBC is similar language
