Question

Is it the intent of the exception # 2 that a
restaurant with more than 10 seats be required
to have 2 toilet rooms even if it is less than
3,000 sq. ft. as stated in exception #3?
The building code requires restaurants under 50
seats be classified as mercantile 303.1.1.

Yes, in the case of the Exceptions, the reference in Item 2
to food service facilities is more specific and would
prevail per 102.1.
