 PERMIT #13030376
 REVIEW COMMENTS - FIRE DEPARTMENT
  
 *****PROVISO*****
  
 RESPONSE: PER NFPA 101 SECTION 6.1.14.1.2, WHERE EXIT
 ACCESS FROM AN OCCUPANCY TRAVERSES ANOTHER OCCUPANCY,
 THE MULTIPLE OCCUPANCY SHALL BE TREATED AS A MIXED
 OCCUPANCY. FOR MIXED USE OCCUPANCIES, THE MOST
 STRINGENT FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF EACH
 OCCUPANCY SHALL APPLY. BECAUSE THE ASSEMBLY SPACES MUST
 USE THE BUSINESS OCCUPANCY EGRESS ROUTES AND ENTIRE
 TENANT SPACE HAS AN OCCUPANT LOAD EXCEEDING 100 PERSONS
 SO DOOR #100A AND #100B REQUIRE PANIC HARDWARE.
  
 ORIGINAL COMMENT: FOR ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCIES WITH AN
 OCCUPANT LOAD OF 100 OR MORE PERSONS, PANIC HARDWARE
 SHALL BE PROVIDED ON DOORS TO RELEASE THE LOCK/LATCH.
 NO OTHER LOCKS OR LATCHES ARE PERMITTED THAT WOULD NOT
 BE RELEASED BY THE PANIC HARDWARE. AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR
 PANIC HARDWARE, THE MAIN ENTRANCE IS PERMITTED TO HAVE
 AN INTERIOR KEYED DOOR LOCK (AND NO LATCH) WITH A
 READILY VISIBLE SIGN STATING THIS DOOR TO REMAIN
 UNLOCKED WHEN THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED. SIGN LETTERS
 SHALL BE AT LEAST 1 INCH IN HEIGHT. A THUMB TURN STYLE
 LOCK IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE SUBSTITUTED FOR A KEYED
 LOCK.
