Occupancy Determination for Toilet Requirements Massachusetts

[nitramnaed]

I'm doing a code study for a proposed restaurant under the Massachusetts plumbing code. It's clear as to the calculations being 1/30 Females and 1/60 males. What I can't seem to find is what they base the occupancy on. Fixed seats or is it square footage as calculated for exiting purposes?

Any insight would be helpful. I'm running into a situation were I need to justify what might be a massive amount of fixtures for this facility.

I'm going to cross post this to the Commercial Code Forum also to get the maximum amount of exposure.

Thanks
