Section 61-12.VIII.804 - Licensure of Existing Structures. (II)
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024
When an existing structure is contemplated for licensure it must meet the same building code requirements as a "new" facility (see Section803.A). If an expansion or renovation to an existing facility is contemplated, the facility must contact the Division of Health Facilities Construction of this Department to discuss code and regulatory requirements that apply to that project. The following shall be submitted to the Department:
A. If the physical dimensions of the building are affected, a plot plan in accordance with Section803.B.1;
B. A floor plan in accordance with Section803.B.2;
C. Description of construction including outside walls, partitions, floor, ceiling and roof. The method of heating and cooling shall also be included.
NOTE: Those existing abortion clinics that have been identified by the Department, through submission of regular reports of abortions performed, may be licensed in their current buildings. However, upon initial licensure, these facilities will be required to submit a plan that will bring them into full compliance with this chapter within two years from date of licensure.
