CA Min. Plumbing Facilities - Gender neutral stall

[lilydesign]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a wine tasting room in California and my occupant load is 39, 20 male/20 females. Looks like I have to provide 1 WC & 1 lavatory per gender as well as a urinal. Does anyone know if I can just provide 1 gender neutral restroom, instead of 2?

Thanks!

Lily

Thanks! I was afraid those were the only exceptions.

On September 29, 2016 Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation (Assembly Bill 1732) requiring all single-occupancy public toilets to be All gender since March 1, 2017.
