    61C-4.010Sanitation and Safety Requirements

    The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants hereby gives notice:

    On December 04, 2013, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2009 FDA Food Code and subsection 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, from Gale South Beach located in Miami Beach. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that dishwashing facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils are provided. They are requesting to share the three-compartment sink located within an adjacent business under a different ownership.

    The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 39/237 on December 09, 2013. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on December 16, 2013. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring that the dishwashing area within Dolce & The Regent Cocktail Club (SEA2333664) is maintained in a clean and sanitary manner, provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and is available during all hours of operation. If the ownership of Dolce & The Regent Cocktail Club (LDV Gale, LLC) changes, an updated written agreement must be provided to the division immediately.

    A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Lydia.Gonzalez@myfloridalicense.com, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1011.
