Applicable Ordinances: Table 922.2 of the 1991 Standard Plumbing Code. Staff Comments: As the applicant has stated, the plumbing code uses the square footage of habitable space less permanent structures in determining the number of fixtures required. The applicant is requesting that additional areas which, although they are not "permanent structures", are always required in a retail store and do take up space which cannot be occupied by patrons. A similar request was approved in June of 1993 for the Toys R Us store. CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS AND APPEALS Case Number Name of Applicant: Andrew A.

Current Zoning of Subject Land: Cl Applicable Ordinance Section: 1991 Standard Plumbing Code Table 922.2 COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING FOR A VARIANCE REQUEST The following specific variation from the ordinance is requested. Variance in the number of toilet fixtures required by the 1991 Standard Plumbing Code. This variance is necessary due to the following special conditions. The number of toilet fixtures required is excessive due to the method that the net area is calculated in table 922.2 of the plumbing code. We request that in lieu of "permanent portions of the building" being deducted from the gross area, all the areas within the building not occupiable by persons be deducted from the tenant area. There-by reducing the area on which the fixture count is based. This seems more reasonable since the areas occupied by the fixtures and displays cannot be simultaneously occupied by a person. Thus the number of persons occupying the store would be less than required in the current building code calculations. Therefore we request permission to reduce the fixture count in accordance with the following: Mens w/c Mens Lays Mens Urn Womens w/c Womens LaysEDF Code Required 2 3 1 5 4 1 Proposed Provided 2 2 1 3 Reduction .. __w..__..0 1 0 Two drinking fountains will be provided. Method of proposed reduction calculations: Net area of sales floor 20,215.5 nsf Free standing sales racks -5,458.3 nsf includes: 86 racks 106 shelf racks 5 registers 1 customer serv. Net area for fixture basis 14,757 nsf 14,757 divided by 200 sf/person = 74 persons add back persons in these areas: stock room 2 persons layaway 2 persons manager 1 person security 1 person sales staff 10 persons dressing 3 persons Total persons for toilet sizing 93 persons See attached floor plan The following alternatives to the requested variance are possible. not applicable This variance will not be contrary to public interest by virtue of the following facts: The number of toilet fixtures should be directly related to the number of persons in the building. The facts stated by me in this application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Date Applicant C.
