61C-4.010Sanitation and Safety Requirements

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

On June 11, 2018, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for a Routine Variance for subsection 61C-4.010(7), Florida Administrative Code and subsection 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code, from Crabby Bill's Seafood Inc. located in Indian Rocks Beach. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that at least one accessible bathroom be provided for use by customers. They are requesting to share the bathrooms located within a nearby establishment under the same ownership for use by customers only.

The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 44/114 on June 12, 2018. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on June 28, 2018. 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 the bathrooms located within Crabby Bill's Seafood (401 Gulf Blvd Indian Rocks Beach, FL 33785), are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and are provided with cold running water under pressure, soap, approved hand drying devices, and are available during all hours of operation. The Petitioner shall also ensure that directional signage is installed within or outside the establishment clearly stating the location of the bathrooms. If the ownership of Ready, Set, Yo! (Crabby Bill's Seafood Inc. NOS6212649) and/or Crabby Bill's Seafood (Crabby Bill's Seafood Inc. SEA6207291) changes, an updated signed agreement for use of the bathroom facilities will be required immediately.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: [e-mail], Division of Hotels and Restaurants, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1011.
