Open items — questions for the design team

  • Prep Area (Room 106) use classification

    Room tagged "PREP" with tables shown. Classify as Assembly (A-2) accessory to dining, or as Business/food prep support?

    Default applied: Assembly, unconcentrated — 15 net (conservative)

    Drives occupant load and whether the space is added to the A-2 aggregate for exit count and separation.

  • Door 108 clear width

    Side exit clear width could not be confirmed from the schedule (low-confidence extraction). Confirm 34" clear.

    Default applied: 34" clear width (from partial schedule read)

    Determines egress capacity available at this exit and whether it counts toward required exits.

  • A-2 / S-1 occupancy separation

    Dry Storage (S-1) abuts Kitchen (A-2). Confirm whether occupancies are designed as separated or non-separated (508.3 vs 508.4).

    Default applied: Separated occupancies — 1 hr assumed at demising wall

    Non-separated triggers the most restrictive height/area; separated requires the rated wall to be shown.
