I have a 600 SF recreation room serving 18 one-bedroom apartments (located in California).
due to space constraints, I would like to install only one single accommodation toilet facility near the rec room. Here's my logic:
A) Cal. Plumbing Code (based on 2006 UPC) Table 4-1, footnote 16:
Recreation or community room in multiple dwellings or apartment buildings, regardless or their occupant load, shall be permitted to have separate single accommodation facilities in common-use areas within tracts or multi-family residential occupancies where the use of these areas is limited exclusively to owners, residents, and their guests. Examples are community recreation or multi-purpose areas in apartments, condos, townhouses, or tracts.
Question: what does "separate" mean? separate-sex? ...or separate from the apartment bathrooms themselves?
B) CPC 412.3, Separate facilities
Separate toilet facilities shall be provided for each sex.
Exceptions:
(1) Residential installations.
Question: my community room is an accessory to the Residential occupancy. So does that mean I don't need separate sex facilities, but instead just one single-accommodation facility?
