NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on January 10, 2007, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for subsection 61C-4.010(7), Florida Administrative Code, from Jet of Miami located in Miami. The above referenced F.A.C. states each public food service establishment shall maintain a minimum of one public bathroom for each sex, properly designated. The Petitioner requests to use bathroom facilities located on the other eleven floors of the building and not have their own bathroom facilities.

This variance request was approved January 30, 2007, and is contingent upon the Petitioner notifying guests to the location of the public bathroom facilities by directional signage, ensuring the public bathrooms are functional, has hot and cold running water at all times, provided with soap and an approved method to dry hands, kept in a clean and sanitary manner, and available during all hours of operation. If the petitioner decides to have seating in the future it shall not exceed ten (10) which includes inside and outside seating. Any violation of the variance is the equivalent of a violation of the Rule and may result in a rescission of the variance, and subject the Petitioner to disciplinary sanctions as enumerated in Section 509.261, Florida Statutes.
