Working on a project for a retail food client in Boulder, CO. The space is small (~650 sq ft) and it's a coffee shop with very limited seating (3 / 4 tables for a total of 8-10 seats max). Most of their clients will be take-out / to go.
There is access to a common area bathroom via a back hallway but, if the client is required to give the public access to this bathroom, a hallway would have to be created that severely cuts into their kitchen and storage square footage.
I've noticed a few spaces in town that are similar in size and don't offer public access to a bathroom. What are the requirements that determine whether bathroom access is obligatory or not?
