Grounds for waiver.


10. Grounds for Waiver: The Florida Building Commission may grant waivers of Florida-specific accessibility requirements upon a determination of unnecessary, unreasonable or extreme hardship. Please describe how this project meets the following hardship criteria. Explain all that would apply for consideration of granting the waiver.
NOTE:**



Due to the construction of the facility and the need for parking to remain, it would not be feasible to construct a new elevator within the existing building footprint without major structural work. In addition, new construction is planned for 2028 which will include an elevator that will be located within conditioned space and second level connected to this renovated hotel.
