The Agency for Persons with Disabilities hereby gives notice: on May 31, 2013, the Agency for Persons with Disabilities received a petition for Variance from Great Living, LLC seeking variance from subparagrah 65G-2.012(8)(c)2, F.A.C., for one specific bedroom located at 1330 Providence Blvd in Deltona, Florida. Subparagraph 65G-2.012(8)(c)2 states that "multi-occupancy rooms shall provide at least 60 square feet per resident of usable floor space." Great Living, LLC was seeking variance to allow two residents to stay in a bedroom with less than 120 square feet of living space without the removal of a section of the wall.

The Agency grants the Petitioner's request for a permanent variance of subparagraph 65G-2.012(8)(c)2, with respect to the bedroom specifically identified by the Petitioner, located at 1330 Providence Blvd., Deltona, Florida 32725, which contains 112.4 square feet of usable floor space. As such, the Petitioner may house two or fewer residents in the bedroom. This variance shall only apply to the resident's bedroom referenced above and does not waive the floor space requirements for any other portion of the Petitioner's facility.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Amanda Soule, Acting Agency Clerk, Agency for Persons with Disabilities, 4030 Esplanade Way, Suite 380, Tallahassee, Florida 32399, [phone].
