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!
 
I found it!
It's in Los Angeles
422.2 Separate Facilities.
Separate toilet facilities shall be provided for each sex.
Exceptions:
(1)Residential installations.
(2) In occupancies with a total occupant load of 10 or less, including customers and employees, one toilet facility, designed for use by no more than one person at a time, shall
be permitted for use by both sexes.
(3) In business and mercantile occupancies with a total occupant load of 50 or less including customers and employees, one toilet facility, designed for use by no more than one person at a time, shall be permitted for use by both sexes.
 
The 20 percent is related to the accessibility code requirements, not the Plumbing Code requirements
And
All new restrooms in CA SHALL be accessible
 
Problem solved! Thanks guys!
Just I needed that section above from plumbing code that we can have a unisex ADA bathroom for less than 50 occupant.
