The ice cream parlor service area can be classified OH-1 so long as the
consumable storage, i.e. cups, containers, lids, spoons, etc is limited
in quantity and does not exceed 8 ft in height.  If there is a separate
bulk storage area then treat this accordingly. The seating area would be
LH.  

If this is a strip store or storefront it is not unusual to find OH-2
throughout based on being flexible for future tenants.

Subject: Ice Cream Parlor

I am working on a new 1000 sqft ice cream parlor attached to an existing
restaurant. It is an open space, except for an 80 sqft commercial
freezer. Approximately 1/2 of the space is a service counter and the
other space is customer space with a couple of small tables. There are
also a couple of small freezer chests for buying product (gallon boxes).
I say the space would be similar to a restaurant service area, which
would be OH1 (per NFPA 13). Someone is making the argument that it is a
retail space so it should be OH2. 
What say the group?
