| | DATE: JULY 05/2013 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | NOTE: WHERE THERE ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TWO CODES, |
| | THE MOST STRIGENT SHALL APPLY. |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET A-2 THE BREAK ROOM IS APPROXIMATELY 835 SQ FT, |
| | SINCE THIS AREA IS OVER THE 750 SQ FT EXCEPTION 3 OF |
| | 303.1 IT DOES CONSTITUTE AN A2 OCCUPANCY HAVING TO MEET |
| | THE FOLLOWING: |
| | 1A) 2010 FBC-B TABLE 1015.1 EXCEEDS 49 OCCUPANTS WILL |
| | NEED TWO MEANS OF EGRESS |

| | TRAVEL IS EXCEEDED, BOTH DOORS FROM THE BREAK ROOM LEAD |
| | TO THE SAME COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL UNTIL YOU HAVE A |
| | CHOICE OF TRAVEL AT THE FRONT ENTRY. |
| | |
| | 2) THE CONFERENCE ROOM BY ITSELF BECAUSE IT IS UNDER |
| | 750 SQ FT WOULD BE CONSIDERED BUSINESS OCCUPANCY PLEASE |

| | |
| | DATE: THU JUN 3 2010 |
| | REPORT: 6506 |
| | CODE: BUILDING CODE YEAR: 2007 |
| | SECTION: 508.3.1 |
| | QUESTION: |
| | IS IT THE INTENT OF FLORIDA BUILDING CODE - BUILDING |
| | SECTION 508.3.1, EXCEPTION 1, TO NOT REQUIRE FIRE |
| | SEPARATION BETWEEN THE |
| | PRIMARY OCCUPANCY AND MULTIPLE ACCESSORY OCCUPANCIES, |
| | WHEN EACH ACCESSORY OCCUPANCY IS LESS THAN 750 SQ. FEET |
| | EACH OR |
| | ONLY WHEN THE TOTAL OF ALL ACCESSORY OCCUPANCIES IS |
| | LESS THAN 750 SQ. FEET IN AREA? |
| | COMMENT: |
| | AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY WITH ONE |
| | ACCESSORY AREA OF 700SF FOR GATHERINGS AND MEETINGS AND |
| | A SECOND |
| | ACCESSORY AREA OF 650SF FOR FITNESS AND WORKOUT. IS THE |
| | EXCEPTION LIMITATION OF 750 S.F. MAX APPLIED TO EACH |
| | ACCESSORY AREA, IN |
| | WHICH CASE THIS BUILDING WOULD COMPLY, OR TO THE |
| | COMBINED TOTAL OF THE TWO ACCESSORY AREAS, IN WHICH |
| | CASE IT WOULD NOT? |
| | ANSWER: |
| | NO. CONSIDERING BOTH SPACES TO BE ASSEMBLY USES LOCATED |
| | ON THE SAME FLOOR, THE EXCEPTION TO FLORIDA BUILDING |
| | CODE - BUILDING |
| | SECTION 508.3.1 WOULD NOT REQUIRE SEPARATION OF EITHER |
| | SPACE. HOWEVER, THE SECTION TO WHICH THE EXCEPTION |
| | RELATES WOULD LIMIT THE AGGREGATE ACCESSORY OCCUPANCIES |
| | TO 10% OF THE AREA OF THE FLOOR ON WHICH THEY ARE |
| | LOCATED. IF THE AREA OF TWO COMBINED ASSEMBLY USES |
| | EXCEEDED 10%, THEN AT LEAST ONE OF THE ASSEMBLY USES |
| | WOULD REQUIRE FIRE RESISTANT RATED SEPARATION OF 2 |
| | HOURS IN A NON-SPRINKLED BUILDING AND 1 HOUR IN A |
| | BUILDING SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT. |
