| | 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. |
