George, Sounds similar in nature to a hotel where you might have a few offices, a kitchen, a gym, a pool, etc... All of these "other" occupancies are all incidental to the hotel as your "other" occupancies are incidental to the dorm.
Just my opinion, Bo Knight -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Church Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 2:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Residential? We have a project in which the majority of the building is dorm rooms; 2nd flr (top) is all dorms, with a few more dorm rooms and a few classrooms and offices on the first floor. Small basement is mechanical only. Entire building footprint is a whopping The classrooms are for the use of the students that reside in the dorm; Offices for faculty that teach there. Overall concept is suburban campus college has this building in the city for students to study government and urban life. So the non-residential areas are incidental to the residential nature of the building. The Architect has deemed the building A3 for the first floor, R2 on 2nd floor. Naturally the one hour separation is at the first floor ceiling. If this sounds a little strange, at least it's not #13TR, elderly housing over tire storage:) This IS located in a locale where 13d tank/pumps feed 3 story office buildings, with poly tanks located in restaurant storage area, and CPVC in OH2. Sure, that will make the judge understand ? Anyway, would % of use and other uses being for the occupants make this look #13R to any of you?
