Owen,
Just a couple of random thoughts here for your client.
Considering that the occupant factor for an "exercise room" (the closest
I could get in the CBC, Table 1004.1.1) is 50 sqft per occupant, the
actual occupancy total for the space is 56 persons (50 x 56 = 2800).
How about this? See
I am fairly sure in Seattle that this type of facility would be allowed to use
the "excersize room' occupant load factor from IBC Table 1004.1.1, which would
be 50 sq.ft. per person, which for a 2,800 sq.ft. space would at the most be an
occ. load of 56. Even if it were not allowed to use 50, e
The planning dept. gave
* >the business a C.U.P for an occupant load of 45 people because of
limited parking.
A side thought on this. I guess the above is infrastructure concern, not
code related.? This seems like the type of business where there would be
many "drop offs" by mom a
This made me laugh, 7sq. ft per person for a martial arts studio? Let's get
real here, they are not standing at attention. In most cases you'd be lucky to
see 50-60 people at a time for a lesson. Most of the time it's half of that or
less. This is one sport that takes a lot of room. 80-100

It all comes down to your adopted codes and standards.

I agree with the building department. If the space is big enough to
allow enough people to warrant a change and fire sprinklers then they
should meet the code requirements. To me this is no different than a

We need to provide proof of WC in order to get a license to work in some
jurisdictions that feel they need to enforce oversight on private contracts.
You likely need to provide the waiver of self-employed, unless you carry
comp on yerself.
PIA, they're from the govt and they're here to help you.
You only have 2 exits. One really cause that is where all people go. (the
