Looking at providing an addition to an existing greenhouse(approx 170,000 SF). There is already a small existing area for B use that is only 2,000 SF. The addition is 30,000 SF and shall contain S2 and F2 uses. Based on what i see i can't even tell how they were allowed to build that big in the first place. It borders the property line so there is no 60 perimeter to call it unlimited. Even appendix C has a 60' perimeter for unlimited area.
Here are the issues I see.
C101.1 item 5: "detached" production greenhouses, an addition would go against the "detached"
C102.2: No 60' perimeter;
Also an addition would make it mixed use, and other uses are not listed in C102.2
Also an addition, if separated by a firewall would also get rid of the 60' perimeter on the existing greenhouse.
C103 says mixed occupancies shall be protected in accordance with section 508, which then gets you out of appendix C and back into normal codes.
I see that Table 508.4 doesn't have a separation requirement of F-2 and S-2. But if i can't show its unlimited area, we can't show the ability to create an addition.
the owner wants it added as an addition to his greenhouses, not to mention the site flow is perfect if its an addition. Making it a separate building is not something the owner wants to do.
Help! Any ideas???
