A Final Layout Tweak

Vic took our proposed plans to Regional Building Dept today and calculated our occupancy. It came out to be 52.7, which is not good. As per previous posts, we have to be under 50 or spend an extra $40,000-50,000 on double stall bathrooms and re-configuring the entire storefront to install UL rated fire doors with crash bars at least 33 feet apart. Not an option...
So, tonight I will be changing the layout a little to get our occupancy down to 49.9999 or less.
Here is the occupancy breakdown rules;

Bathroom: 1 person for each 100 sq ft
Hallway: 1 person for each 100 sq ft
Storage: 1 person for each 300 sq ft
Studio: 1 person for each 100 sq ft
Service Area: 1 person for each 200 sq ft
Cafe: 1 person for each 15 sq ft

It is 9:00pm... I'll be posting something by 11:00pm (I hope).
Later,
JD
