I have a agriculatural exempt building that was built years ago (unknown). New owner has broken the property to 1 acre. Building would not fit for exemption today. Owner want s to put a buisiness in the building. I am requiring him to get a change of use permit and bring the building to current code. It will be classified as a s-1 building about 2500 sqft and not sure how they will classify the building type of construction.(its a large steel tank). My question is, a s-1 use requires a water closet and a lavatory. Am I correct in this interpetation? I cant see any way out. I'm getting a lot of grief over this so I would just like to here others opinion. We are using the 06 icc codes, so 06 IBC, IPC, IMC and 08 NEC. Give me your opinion. I'm trying to do my home work. I havent been doing this for very long.
Thanks
