    61C-4.010Sanitation and Safety Requirements

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

    On June 25, 2018, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for paragraph 61C-1.004(2)(a), Florida Administrative Code, subsection 61C-4.010(7), Florida Administrative Code, subsection 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code, and Section 6-402.11, 2009 FDA Food Code from Mayorga Callejas Corp. located in Clearwater. 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 a different ownership for use by customers and employees.

    The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 44/124 on June 26, 2018. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on July 2, 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 Danny's Laundromat & Dry Cleaners 901 S Missouri Ave. Suite A, Clearwater Fl, 33756, are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, soap, approved hand drying devices, and are available during all hours of operation. The Petitioner shall also ensure directional signage is installed within or outside the establishment clearly stating the location of the bathrooms. If the ownership of Banelly Tienda y Taqueria (Mayorga Callejas Corp.) and/or Danny's Laundromat & Dry Cleaners (Jyotsna Bakriwala) 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: Daisy.Aleman@myfloridalicense.com, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, 2601 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1011.
