Doing a renovation that will convert an existing space that has not been occupied in years to a mixed use, half will be B, the other half will be an embroideries production area. does embroideries fall under B, or F1. The building is not sprinklered and is part of a group of adjoining businesses in a strip mall. Each have their own entrances. But if I go with F1 then it triggers a fire area requirement of 3 hr separation, where if its B its only a 1 hour tenant separation. There is a second floor above that would make for a tricky 3 hour separation. If its B use then its a continuation of existing use. If its F1 then it will be a change of use.
4,000 SF B use where there is an office area and sales area for public to look at the embroidering to purchase and a 4,000 SF production area where they do the embroidering. Its that production area that looks like it might trigger the F1 use, but they don't actually fabricate clothing, just do the stitching.
Thank you,
