The city is removing and replacing a gazebo in a small downtown park. Nobody, including the PE, seems to have a clue what occupancy group to place this gazebo in. It is 26' in diameter (about 530 sq ft floor area) with an accessible ramp to access it. I immediately want to place it into the A classification, but I'm not 100% sure and that would cause other issues like needing to provide minimum plumbing fixtures. This pushes me into a U classification, but that just doesn't seem to be the right way to go. I seriously want to deny the application based on the ommission of an occupancy classification on the plans making it impossible to verify code compliance, but with this being a city project, that wouldn't be received well at all.
