NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on April 18, 2007, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for subsection 61C-4.010(7), Florida Administrative Code, from Solórzano Pizza Cafe located in Sarasota. 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 proposed establishment has one bathroom facility for patrons and they are requesting a variance to have a seating capacity of 35.

Seating shall not exceed thirty-five (35) which includes inside and outside seating.
