Question

Is it the intent of FPC Table 403.1 to require a
service sink for a tenant space intended to be
used as a small bar or tavern which has been
designated by the building code as Group M
Occupancy due to its occupancy load (less than
50 persons per FBC 303.1.1).

Answer Published 03/08/2012 at 10:50 AM

FBC-P 403.1 says that the occupancy classification shall be
determined in accordanve with the FBC Building. FBC-
Building section 303.1.1 classifies it as Mercantile.
Therefore, you apply Table 403.1 using Mercantile
occupancy, which does not require a service sink.

None.
