This thread is part of Real-World Practice, our self-paced, case study feature that helps you apply your knowledge in realistic scenarios using references, layered questions, and targeted takeaways.
Why in question 1, given a Type 2-B with sprinkler, would allow this building to be unlimited height per zoning, and not 60 ft per IBC table 504.3 R/sprinklered system to be determined?
First.. answer explanations for Type IV-B and Type IV-A refers to type I-B. Probably needs correction.
Secondly, if 3,000 sf is for amenities, this square footage is less than 10% of 200,000 gross total (@1.5%) Why is A-3 considered in this question? Should this not be accessory use to B or R-2? Nothing in the scenario indicates that this is open to the public. Then the coffee shop no sqft is given either, A-2 could become B if less than 50 occupants.
