Following up on a duscussion here about the number if required restrooms ... here's my situation. We have a bank branch in an old shopping center that is finally going to be completdly redeveloped after 10 years of talk by the landlord/developer. Its to the point that the developer has submitted their final plans to the county and are waiting for approval. As is typical, the SC is anchored by a large grocery store that does not want to shut down for 2 yrs, so the construction is going to be phased. We are on one end and the plan us to relocate us to a vacant space on the other end to make room for them to demo our part and startbuilding thd new grocery store. When that is complete we will move into new space adjacent to the new gricery store, and they will tear down the rest of the old buildings and build new.
So heres the situation. The space we are moving to only has one restroom. (It doesnt meet ADA but that will be corrected). Knowing that we will only be there 2 yrs and the building will be torn down when we leave, we are reluctant to spend substantial money to add a second restroom. According to the IBC we only need one, but the IPC requires two. I want to request a waiver on the second restroom. Whats the chances it will be granted.
