4. APPEALS:
(a) CASE NO. 22-84, 1140 Broadway, Space 8, Meat Bazaar
The applicant requested a waiver of handicap requirements to existing
toilet facilities because equivalent facilities for the handicap are
available within lOO feet of his location in the same building. In
existing buildings or facilities, when the enforcing agency determines
that compliance with any building standard would create an unreasonable
hardship an exception to such standard shall be granted when equivalent
facilities is provided. The applicant stated that their operation is a
federally inspected meat plant and in his judgment, he cannot hire a
person in a wheelchair to perform any of their operations because of
the heavy physical demands.
MSUC Lee/Winchell (4-0) to grant the appeal.
(b) CASE NO. 20-84, 1139 Nolan Avenue
The applicant is requesting a glass area of 46% for the master bathroom
and closet which the Building Code defines as non-habitable spaces,
requiring neither heat nor natural light. Section 1205(a) of the Uniform
Building Code defines a solarium room as having an area of 80% glass. The
study and master bedroom does not take light and ventilation through the
bath, thus the real need to provide the 80% glass area does not appear to
be appropriate. The ordinance does require that all habitable space shall
have a heating system capable of heatin~ the room to 700 3 feet above the
floor. In the San Diego climate, this lS not necessary especially when
the proposed bath can be solar heated through the glass roof thereby saving
energy. Staff recommends that the applicant's request be approved and that
the bath be constructed without a heating system.
MSUC Winchell/Lee (4-0) to grant the appeal.
