| | 2020 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE W 2020 WEST PALM BEACH |
| | AMENDMENTS TO THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, CHAPTER 1, |
| | ADMINISTRATION |
| | |

| | BUILDING CODE, BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 1ST REVIEW |
| | DATE: THURS. JULY 8, 2021 |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | 1) THE LIFE SAFETY SHEET: |
| | 1A) THE CODE ANALYSIS STATES THIS TENANT SPACE IS AN |
| | BUSINESS OCCUPANCY. THE PLAN DOES NOT DECLARE THE |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD IS TAKEN FROM TABLE 1004.5 BUT THE |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD FACTOR IS STATED AT 150, AS IN TABLE |
| | 1004.5 AND THE OCCUPANT LOAD OF 20. IT SHOULD BE |
| | ROUNDED UP TO 21. 3,043/ 150= 20.28 OCCUPANTS. YOU |
| | ALWAYS ROUND UP TO THE NEXT WHOLE OCCUPANT. WHEN YOU |
| | ARE ESTABLISHING THE OCCUPANT LOAD BY GIVING THE |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD FACTOR OR BY STATING THE TABLE 1004.5 AS |
| | THE DESIGNER YOU ARE ESTABLISHING THE DESIGN OCCUPANT |
| | LOAD. IF YOU COUNT EVERY CHAIR IN THE TENANT SPACE |
| | THERE ARE MORE THAN 50 CHAIRS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE 2 |
| | MEANS OF EGRESS. WHAT I BELIEVE AS THE DESIGNER OF |
| | RECORD PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 1004.2 FOR INCREASED |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD AND SEATING DIAGRAM, FLOOR PLAN, THE |
| | POSTING OF THE INCREASED OCCUPANT LOAD 49 OCCUPANTS |
| | WITH DIAGRAM / FLOOR PLAN. THIS WILL PROVIDE AN |
| | INCREASE OF OCCUPANTS AND STILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF TABLE 1006.2.1 OF NO MORE THAN 49 OCCUPANTS AND A |
| | MAXIMUM COMMON PATH OF TRAVEL OF 100 FEET/ SPRINKLERED |
| | BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 2A) FROM THE P1.1 SHEET THE PRIVATE BATHROOM LOOKS TO |
| | BE NEW SINCE THERE ARE NEW SANITARY LINES THAT WILL TIE |
| | INTO EXISTING LINES. POST TENSION SLAB/ NEW HOLES. THE |
| | PLAN IS SILENT AS IF THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING TUB |
| | DRAIN IS GOING TO BE REUSED IN THE SAME LOCATION. IF |
| | NOT, THEN THE FLOOR SLAB WILL NEED TO BE X-RAYED TO |
| | FIND THE POST TENSION CHORD LOCATIONS. 107.2.1.2. |
| | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 2B) THROUGH-PENETRATIONS FIRESTOP SYSTEMS (HORIZONTAL |
| | ASSEMBLIES). IF A NEW FLOOR PENETRATION IS MADE FOR THE |
| | FUTURE SHOWER DRAIN, THEN YOU NEED TO SHOW COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH THE 2020 FBC-B SECTION 714.5.1.2. |
| | THROUGH-PENETRATIONS FIRESTOP SYSTEMS (HORIZONTAL |
| | ASSEMBLIES). THROUGH PENETRATIONS SHALL BE PROTECTED BY |
| | A THROUGH PENETRATION FIRESTOP SYSTEM INSTALLED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM E814 OR UL 1479. THE SYSTEM SHALL |
| | HAVE AN F RATING / T RATING OF NOT LESS THAN 1 HOUR BUT |
| | NOT LESS THAN THE REQUIRED RATING OF THE FLOOR |
| | PENETRATED. |
| | |
| | 3) SHEET A1.1 & A3.2. NEW PRIVATE BATHROOM SHOWER AND |
| | WATER CLOSET WILL STILL REQUIRE BACKING FOR GRAB BARS, |
| | 604.5 EXCEPTION 1 INSTALLED AT THE CORRECT HEIGHTS. |
| | |
| | 4) A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW |
| | COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION |
| | MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE |
| | THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND WILL HELP TO EXPEDITE YOUR |
| | PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
