Or. Admin. Code § 813-310-0030

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024

Section 813-310-0030 - Community Powder Room

(1) Except as provided by subsection (2) of this section, the required community powder room shall be available for use 24-hours per day, 7 days per week. This availability may be provided by on-site or on-call staff, through the use of keys, keypads or electronic code locks, or by other means, as approved by the Department.

(2) Group homes are exempt from the community powder room requirements.

(3) A subsidized development shall also be exempt from the requirement to make the required community powder room available for use 24-hours per day if justification is provided to the Department demonstrating that all of the visitable units in the development include an adaptable powder room that meets the requirements of OAR 813-310-0025 and also has at least one grab bar. The grab bar shall be installed on the wall beside the toilet and shall meet ADA standards as of July 1, 2004, for proper installation, diameter and length. (In considering whether all the units of a subsidized development have met the provisions of this subsection, the Department will exclude units that have already been given a full exemption from the powder room visitability requirements.) In addition to providing adaptable powder rooms in visitable units, an applicant requesting this exemption shall provide a list to OHCS of the hours that the community powder room will be available. Where the Department grants an exemption under this provision, the Department shall encourage that subsidized development to provide access upon request to any community powder room, where feasible.
