One Unisex bathroom - TI

[ELLEN09US]

I have just one ADA bathroom in the tenant space. How can I get away without adding another one?
I know one is 20% of the total improvement budget to spend on ADA improvement.
Thank you!

The 20 percent is related to the accessibility code requirements, not the Plumbing Code requirements
And
All new restrooms in CA SHALL be accessible
