accessible toilets required?

[Robert]

Fire rebuild in CA. Do the toilets in a gym locker room need to be accessible if there is a separate accessible bathroom located 15' away? Also, do I need to use the new 5'-6" turning circle requirement or is this 5' since it's a rebuild of an existing structure? Thanks.

Does the person have to leave the locker room to use the restroom?

ALL new restrooms shall be fully compliant

1. You need to ask the AHJ if they will accept the CBC 11B-202.4 unreasonable hardship or CBC 11B-103 Equivalent Facilitation in order not to make the restroom fully compliant.
2. regarding the 66-inches:

• 11B-304.3.1 Circular Space: The turning space shall be a space of 60 inches diameter minimum. The space shall be permitted to include knee and toe clearance complying with Section 11B-306
• the 66-inch is not the turning radius, it is the the clearance at the water closet is 66 inches minimum measured perpendicular from the rear wall.

Ansi-117.1-2017 is not required at this time in CA

CA-CBC does not acknowledge ANSI last I checked.

It does acknowledge ANSI, American National Standards Institute, but not ANSI 117.1.

Editorial: So happy that we are sticking with 60" in California and not enlarging to 67", just to satisfy poor scooter designs.

Thanks all. RLGA, yes the person would have to leave the locker room to use the accessible bathroom. I don't like the idea of that inconvenience. Mark it sounds like a question for the AHJ like you mentioned. This is a private tennis club....so I don't think that makes a difference with accessibility.

It does with ADA it does not with CA.
Under ADA there are exemptions for private clubs.

all new toilet rooms shall be fully in compliance. unless it's clustered, only 50% need to be accessible.
