I am a little clouded this morning and looking for an opinion on a real life situation.
A school which is an E use is being converted into 20 apartments.
3 apartments in the walkout basement area, 10 on the accessible 1st floor and 7 on the 2nd floor. There is no elevator, nor one planned.
The RDP has stated that since they have less than 21 apartments, no Type A units are required, However, the developer will put 1 in on the 1st floor.
The RDP has stated that there is an exception for type B units in existing buildings, However, the developer will put 3 in on the 1st floor.
This is a change of use and occupancy but the RDP is not declaring chapter 9 of the IEBC just that it is a renovation level 3.
It is my understanding that Type A is not required so great if he wants to put one in, However, I do not believe that the exception applies for type B units. With that being said, how do I determine how many Type B units he should have? It appears as though all of them on the 1st floor need to be Type B that are not Type A. Need some help please.
