Hey Everyone,
I'm helping to design a unique three story restaurant / office building. Based on our occupancy, we are required to provide at least one family restroom. We originally had designed to have two family restrooms on the third floor as to satisfy this requirement. I'm concerned about the code not allowing us to locate them on the third floor... here is the clause from chapter 11 of the IBC :
1109.2.1.4 Location. Family or assisted-use toilet and bathing rooms shall be located on an accessible route. Family or assisted-use toilet rooms shall be located not more than one story above or below separate-sex toilet rooms. The accessible rooms from any separate separate-sex toilet room to a family or assisted-use toilet room shall not exceed 500 feet.
There are separate-sex toilets on both the 1st and 2nd floors.
Here is the proposed floorplan : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H8oBIsCf5g7dWJsWBbKNIeWAoAC23jOc
Any help would be much appreciated!
Kindly, Reed
