existing 14000 sf, 1 story, VB w/mezz;
proposed change of use from M (supermarket) to B (prof office);
does the 2009 IBC have a specific chapter & verse that clarifies if a "trellis" or "pergola" (structure with no roof covering; but exposed roof framing if u will) added to the building as an entry element over the entry door walkway ADDS to the building area (defined in section 502)??
the structure is "adjacent" to the existing building closer than 5 feet....probably inches away;
does not having a "roof" or not being attached exclude it?
this walk way from the entry door is counted as one of the exits.
