Code R. 59A-36.014, as well as documentation of compliance with applicable fire safety and sanitation inspection standards referenced in Fl. Admin. Code R. 59A-36.005

A licensed location may be expanded to include additional contiguous property with the approval of the agency to ensure continued compliance with the requirements and standards of chapters 408, Part II, 429, Part I, F.S. and rule chapter 59A-35, F.A.C., and this rule chapter.
