1. (1) Exemptions may be requested by an applicant or allowed by the Department at any time during the development of a project prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The Department encourages exemption requests prior to the submittal of Consolidated Funding Cycle applications as this enables more realistic budgeting. However, this may not always be possible. For example, a city may impose a design standard through the plan review process after the Consolidated Funding Cycle awards have been made.
2. (2) An exception to this timing deadline will be allowed to request an exemption from the 24-hour availability requirement for a community powder room, as there may be operational issues that arise after occupancy that were not considered during the design or building stages of the project. Such an exemption request may be made and considered at any time during the life of the project.
