Type II-B, fire-sprinklered, concrete tilt-up wall & bar-joist roof structure, F-2 occupancy. 700,000+ sf.
H-3 occupancy room within building, not self-supporting, with sole access/egress directly to exterior. Interior 2-hour ceiling assembly.
299sf, 3 occupants, 1 exit provided.

Due to tight manufacturing process area within room, we provided an exit at one end of the 8' x 37'-4" room, citing Table 1015.1.
Building official cites Table 1019.2.
I referenced the "OR" in 1019.1:

Would you consider the space as a "building"?
If not, how should I inform the building official that he's an idiot?
FYI - Municipality is a small town, population under 70K.
Thanks.

B.O. replied that he's taking the more stringent route and requiring we provide 2 exits or move the single exit to the middle of the space, meeting the 25' distance requirement.1019.1 Minimum number of exits. All rooms and spaces within each story shall be provided with and have access to the minimum number of approved independent exits required by Table 1019.1 based on the occupant load of the story, except as modified in Section 1015.1 or 1019.2. For the purposes of this chapter, occupied roofs shall be provided with exits as required for stories. The required number of exits from any story, basement or individual space shall be maintained until arrival at grade or the public way.
