There was a concern on including the requirements when the Florida Building Code already prohibits use of the space as habitable area. Staff reported:  The Section is incorporated as a local reminder on the prohibition of utilizing the space as habitable areas and provides additional details what is expected for use of the space. Staff is regularly contacted by individuals who have purchased properties with the space converted and unbeknownst to them, is not permitted and the violation needs to be corrected.  They addressed concerns raised by the Subcommittee including allowing the space to be temperature controlled with a non-permanently installed air conditioner, adjusting entry door standards, however glass doors are not permitted.  The use of non flood proof materials in these areas as suggested by the Subcommittee is not permitted by FEMA.  A “Non Conversion Agreement” for new construction is now required to be executed whereby the owner is given due notice converting the space without permits would be a VIII, IX. x.
