cda: What's the concern or question?

 

[cda]

Just wondering if any comment to code change

Such as including the kitchen as part of the dining

Not calling it a different occupancy type, which may or may not require separation, and even though most of have been doing it, 2012 makes it legal

Also hate terms in the code that are not defined

 

[RLGA]

If they're not defined in the code, then it is the "ordinarily accepted meanings." I think we all know what is a cafeteria. I like the clarification of including the kitchen within the A-2...I've been bounced between Group B (the 'business' side of a dining facility) and Group F-1, since 'bakeries' are included in that list. Now there's no question.
