If you come across baby changing stations in Coral Springs restaurants some time in the future, thank Vice Mayor Vince Boccard.

Boccard, whose daughter Sophia was born in April, recently spoke of his travails as he went to a restaurant in the city with his wife and child. "You know what babies do; they eat, sleep and do something else. We wanted to change her diaper but there wasn't any baby changing station in the restroom, " he told the City Commission.

Boccard also suggested the city look into the possibility of an ordinance that makes baby changing stations mandatory in new and remodeled restaurants. Staff took a look around and came back with good news.

"There is an ordinance in Miami-Dade that we have looked at," City Attorney Sam Goran said.

The Baby Diaper-Changing Accommodations Ordinance (Section 8A - 114 of Miami Dade County Code) requires certain new and remodeled business establishments to have baby changing stations accessible to men and women.

Apart from restaurants in the county with a seating capacity of at least 50, theaters and movie houses, stadiums, sports arenas, libraries, passenger terminals, and shopping centers of more than 25,000 square feet are also required to have baby changing stations.
