Hello all, first time poster. (Should have joined years ago).
A family friend a shopping center under LADBS jurisdiction. He basically wants to split one of the current rent able spaces into two. He does not know what tenant may be moving in. We've narrowed it down to possibility of Business (B), Retail (M), or Restaurant (A2). The previous space was a pharmacy (M). Basically, he's gutting the entire place(except T-bar ceiling) and wants to put a 2 HR partition to the roof structure.
I am thinking to calculate each space to the most restrictive of these for exits and restrooms (difference one a few inches of width, and one stall).
Is there any other significant issue that may arise from, say, Change of Use to A2 versus B? If a restaurant is a possibility, should he run any special equipment/lines ?
I know some of this might be a bit subjective, because the restaurant would technically move in and do their own TI as well (assuming we went with A2). I want to know a couple of options to let him make the decision that works between him and his contractor.
Thank you very much!
