The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Bureau of Elevator Safety hereby gives notice:

On January 30, 2017, the Division issued an order. The Final Order was in response to a Petition for an emergency permanent Variance from Bliss Condominium, filed January 19, 2017, and advertised on January 23, 2017, in Vol. 43, No. 14, of the Florida Administrative Register. No comments were received in response to the petition. The Final Order on the Petition for Variance grants the Petitioner a variance from Chapter 3007.7.1, 2014 Florida Building Code and Chapter 3007.7.4, 2014 Florida Building Code that requires the fire service access elevator lobby having direct access to an exit enclosure and a lobby size of 150 square feet because the Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met and that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship if required to comply with this rule (VW2017-007).

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Michelle Comingore, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Bureau of Elevator Safety, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1013, [e-mail].
