Public restrooms access from building lobbies

[Denver Zephyr]

I am working on a tenant improvement for a tech company in a multi tenant building. The landlord of the space insists that the public should be able to enter the company space (which is secured) to use the restrooms from a common lobby. I see no reason anyone would visit the building if they would not be visiting one of the tenants, as all restrooms can only be accessed from within the tenant spaces. This is common in my experience, but I can't find a code reference that is specific on this topic.

Where is it? Denver? If so they use the IPC

IPC

403.3 Required public toilet facilities.

Customers, patrons and visitors shall be provided with public toilet facilities in structures and tenant spaces intended for public utilization.

Customers, patrons and visitors ...Who is a visitor? The guy who walks in? or a delivery man?

I would say NO public toilet facilities are required.

For every opinion in the affirmative, you will always fins a "naysayer", just because they choose to.

A man should look for what is in the code, and not for what he thinks should be.

And "if" something "isn't" and needs to be, "What then?" Change the code properly,

"Naysaying",is not stupid. you need to know the difference.
