Automotive window tinting business considering lease of a 3,379sf retail shop space, part of a larger shopping center. Their space would consist of approx. 518sf of retail sales/showroom, a 161sf customer waiting room, and a 2,700sf installation shop.
Would this be considered a Group M occupancy in it's entirety, or would the install shop be a Group B or F-1, or even S-1 Classification? (remember motor vehicle repair garages are classified as S-1)
Vehicles are brought into the shop, tint applied, then rolled back out. There is no automotive servicing or repair, so no NEC 511 classifications should apply.
