| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET A-1 & LS-1 INDICATE THE OCCUPANCY AS A |
| | BUSINESS OCCUPANCY, THIS IS CORRECT FOR EDUCATIONAL |
| | USAGE ABOVE THE 12TH GRADE. WHERE WE DISAGREE IS HOW WE |
| | DETEWRMINE THE OCCUPANT LOAD. THE CODE COMMENTARY IN |
| | REGARDS TO FBC-B TABLE 1004.1.1 INDICATES THAT ALTHOUGH |
| | THIS IS CLASSIFIED AS A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY WE STILL GO |
| | TO TABLE 1004.1 FOR THE INTENDED USAGE. I BELIEVE THE |
| | OPEN LAB SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR |
| | SHOPS AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING ROOMS OR (50 NET), THIS |
| | ROOM IS APPROX 1027 SQ FT OR AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF |
| | 21OCCUPANTS THE OTHER AREA OF DISCREPANCY IS THE |
| | CLASSROOM 320H WHICH IS A CLASSROOM OR (20 NET) THE |
| | ROOM SIZE BEING APPROX. 800 SQ FT OR AN OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | OF 40. |
| | |
| | THE BREAK ROOM AND CRITIQUE LOUNGE AREAS SHOULD BE |
| | TAKEN AT 15 SQ FT PER OCCUPANT (NET) AND THE OFFICES AS |
| | 100 SQ FT PER OCCUPANT.(GROSS) PER TABLE 1004.1.1. THE |
| | NET CALCULATION ALLOWS THE DESIGNER TO FIGURE THE |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD TO THE ACTUAL OCCUPIED FLOOR AREAS. THE |
| | AREAS USED FOR PERMANENT BUILDING COMPONENTS, SUCH AS |
| | WALLS, FIXED EQUIPMENT, THICKNESSES OF WALLS, |
| | CORRIDORS, RESTROOMS, MECHANICAL ROOMS, AND CLOSETS, IS |
| | NOT TO BE INCLUDED IN NET FLOOR AREA, SEE 2010 CODE |
| | COMMENTARY UNDER TABLE 1004.1.1. |
| | |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TOTAL OCCUPANT LOAD MAY STILL BE |
| | ABOVE 49 OCCUPANTS WHEN THE NET AREAS REDUCED AREAS ARE |
| | REMOVED FROM THE EQUATION. IF SO THE TWO REMOTE EGRESS |
| | OPENINGS WILL MEET THE 2010 FBC-B TABLE 1015.1 AND |
| | 1015.2.1 DOORWAYS TO BE 1/3 THE DIAGONAL DISTANCE |
| | APART. |
| | |
| | 2) 2010 FBC-B 712.6 FIRE WALLS, FIRE BARRIERS, FIRE |
| | PARTITIONS, SMOKE BARRIERS AND SMOKE PARTITIONS OR ANY |
| | OTHER WALL REQUIRED TO HAVE PROTECTED OPENINGS SHALL BE |
| | EFFECTIVELY AND PERMANENTLY IDENTIFIED WITH SIGNS OR |
| | STENCILING IN A MANNER ACCEPTABLE TO THE AUTHORITY |
| | HAVING JURISDICTION. SUCH IDENTIFICATION SHALL BE ABOVE |
| | ANY DECORATIVE CEILING AND IN CONCEALED SPACES. |
| | SUGGESTED WORDING FOR FIRE AND SMOKE BARRIERS: "FIRE |
| | AND SMOKE BARRIER - PROTECT ALL OPENINGS." |
| | |
| | 3) THE PLANS INDICATE ALL EXIT DOORS SWINGING INTO THE |
| | CORRIDOR, PLEASE PROVIDE TYPE OF DOORS AND FIRE RATINGS |
| | NO DOOR SCHEDULE WAS PROVIDED. 2010 FBC-B TABLE 715.4. |

| | 5) PLEASE PROVIDE THE TYPE OF LATCHING MECHANISM TO BE |
| | INSTALLED ON THE EGRESS DOORS? 2010 FBC-B 1008. |
| | |
| | 6) NO DETAILS OF HANDICAPPED RESTROOMS WERE SUBMITTED |
| | UNDER THE FIRST PLAN REVIEW. 2010 FBC-B |
| | 106.3.5.1.1(10)* |
