1. Quoted hereunder is the full text of Resolution No. R-554, Series of 1994, titled "Amendment to the Rules and Regulations for Commercial Subdivision and Commercial Condominium Development, Particularly the Standards and Guidelines for Determining the Elevator Requirements of Commercial Condominium. Previously Approved Under Resolution No. 212, Series of 1984, Particularly Section 7, A-5 Thereof", approved by the Board on 18 July 1994:

WHEREAS, the current trend in condominium development which calls for the construction of buildings more than 14 storeys high has made the current rule requiring the provision of elevators for commercial condominium up to 14 storeys only, obsolete and inapplicable; and

WHEREAS, the design of an elevator system is dependent on the size and complexity of a project and the design and selection of an appropriate elevator system can best be accomplished by a professional design architect/engineer;
