I have an existing building that is changing Occupancy Groups, from an A-2
( restaurant ) to an M - a fastener(s) supply company.
Because of the occupant load ( 95 ) of this "new" Group M occupancy,
separate ADA compliant restrooms are required.
One of the restrooms on the submitted set of plans is compliant, ..the
other is why I am asking the question.
QUESTION: According to the 2010 ADA Standards For Accessible Design,
can the "turning space; a 5 ft. diameter circle, for a side approach
single water closet, overlap the clearance for an ADA compliant lavatory,
in the same restroom. The lavatory is located approx. 8"-10" from the
water closet, without a countertop. There are ADA grab bars indicated to
be installed as well.
Section 603.2 - Clearances, 2010 ADA Standards seems to indicate that
"overlapping' is permitted.
FWIW, I DID look for / search the archived topics in the Accessibility topic
column on this subject. I DID see some similar topics, just looking for
some clarity.
Thanks ya'll !
