occupancy calc indoor offleash dog bar

[SCBO1]

Kansas City has something similar, they have an outdoor area for dogs with an outdoor bar, food is provided at picnic tables outside. There is an inside bar and grill closed off to the doggies with the TV's. The food prep area regulated by the Health Department does not want flying inspects so it has to be somewhat closed off except for egress into the area.

It appears the only places dogs are allowed are in outside areas. The complex has some shipping containers stacked as you mentioned and on the second level (two containers stacked on each other) a compliant stair way on the outside allows patrons and their dogs to mingle with food outside on a porch setting.

At first when it opened they had an opening into the kitchen area from the sign-up and the Health Department request they close that area off. I noticed no elevator to the second floor porch area so it did not appear to me to be ADA compliant, just a stairway. But overall, its a nice place to let THOR or FE FE run while you sip some suds.

I'm thinking if you use an arena with closing doors, where food and the rodeo is going on, that would be about the same concept for the food and dogs.

That overhead garage door allowing flying insects into a kitchen IMO will not fly!,

Not sure what a "Flying Inspect" like like?

Hard to picture hundreds of people + dogs in there. Is a there a practical upper limit you are seeking? Use 1004.1.2 (exception) and see if the building official will allow a lower posted occupant limit. We've previously done this on basketball courts at fitness centers. The OL for a game of pickup basketball is a lot lower that for a high school gym that might get used as a multipurpose system.

You can also offer a Fire Watch:

IBC Section 1004.1.2 at the Exception is an allowance for 'actual number' to be used for occupant load.

It is nothing new
The Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar has locations in six states

In determining occupancy, disregard the dogs, they are not a factor.
Don't even think of that, it is a health department, not building department issue.

Agree somewhat

The lazy dogs I have seen have the dogs on the patio

Not inside, so occupant load inside based on

Homo sapiens

so occupant load inside based on Homo sapiens

Yes but code says Persons, Read Chapter two in the code under Occupant Load "Number of Persons..." not Dogs.

Wait a minute

If the dogs are in a building,

They want to get out safely

And

They do not want to be overcrowdedEd.


They have fillings also.


So what do you do about an indoor kennel, not assign an occupant load.

 

[sergoodo]

yah, pretty sure building code does not account for negotiating a bunch of dogs as a part of the egress during emergency. The only ones salivating about an emergency are the lawyers.

So animals will not take up space or affect exiting, during an incident?


As many as 6,000 dogs “work” alongside their owners at the company’s headquarters, the company says.
