| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: TUES. DEC. 01/2020 |

| | |
| | 1) ADDRESS. PLEASE COORDINATE THE ADDRESS ON THE PERMIT |
| | APPLICATION AND THE PLANS. THE PERMIT APPLICATION |
| | STATES THE LOCATION OF THIS PROJECT IS 537 14TH ST. |
| | WHEREAS THE PLANS HAVE ON THE COVERSHEET AND IN THE |
| | TITLEBLOCK 514 14TH ST. |
| | 2017 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2017 WEST PALM BEACH |
| | AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1, |

| | 2) THE SHEET SP1 UNDER THE BUILDING CODE SUMMARY: |
| | 2A) LIST THE BUILDING AS A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY BUT LIST |
| | THE ALTERATION AS A LEVEL 2. WHEN A BUILDING OR PORTION |

| | UNDERGOING A CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY. |
| | |
| | 2B) THE OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION IS INDICATED BEING A U |
| | UTILITY OCCUPANCY. I BELIEVE THAT A F1 OCCUPANCY IS A |
| | CLOSER FIT THAN A UTILITY OCCUPANCY. THE KEY THING IN |

| | SECTION 312.1 WHERE THE CODE STATES BUILDINGS AND |
| | STRUCTURES OF AN ACCESSORY CHARACTER. YOU DO NOT HAVE |
| | WHERE THIS IS ACCESSORY TO ANOTHER OCCUPANCY. THE |
