Restroom facilities in Self-Storage Facilities

Question

Is it the intent of the code that all buildings in a self-storage facility be reviewed individually relative to providing restrooms in each building, rather than having a singe set of restrooms in a main building?

Answer Published 02/19/2014 at 6:23 AM

No. The facilities in the office building would suffice
provided the travel distance is not exceeded. There may be
a need to provide signage per 403.4 and 403.4.1.

Commentary

403.3.2 Location of toilet facilities in occupancies other than covered malls. In occupancies other than covered mall buildings, the required public and employee toilet facilities shall be located not more than one story above or below the space required to be provided with toilet facilities, and the path of travel to such facilities shall not exceed a distance of 500 feet (152 m).
