Do I need an ADA-accessible restroom?

Do I need a permit for event restrooms in San Luis Obispo?
Restroom requirements come with your event permit, not from us. Ask the City of San Luis Obispo (or San Luis Obispo County for venues outside city limits) what your permit needs; many ask how many restrooms and hand wash stations you'll have. We'll send the equipment list in writing for your application.
