(THE KNITTING FACTORY – NEW OCCUPANCY SCENARIOS) (2-21-19 PLAN MODIFICATION TO REMOVE THE FORMERLY PROPOSED WOMEN’S TOILET ROOM WITHIN THE UPPER BAR AREA FROM THE PROJECT, MAINTAIN THE EXISTING SINGLE USER TOILET ROOM AT THAT LOCATION, MAINTAIN DOOR 104 AND DOOR 106 AT THEIR CURRENT WIDTH ALONG THE PATH OF EGRESS TRAVEL TO THE ALLEY FROM THE LOWER LEVEL, AND TO RETAIN THE ROLL DOWN FIRE DOOR IN AN EXISTING 2-HR FIRE WALL BETWEEN THE UPPER BAR AND THE MEZZANINE.) The fire sprinkler system is used for story increase and for building area increase. To re-establish occupant loads based on approved occupancy scenarios for an events center. The total occupant load will not increase from what was originally approved. Several occupancy scenarios were proposed showing the number of patrons and the number of employees allowed based on the size of the stage, whether chairs are provided, whether chairs and tables are provided, and whether no chairs and no tables are provided. Each approved scenario determines the allowed number of occupants for that scenario so that an overcrowding condition is avoided. The floor plans for all approved scenarios are required to be maintained on site and to be available to the Fire Department upon request. Each event is required to comply with an approved scenario. Work is to include a new side-hinged swinging fire doors to replace a roll-down fire door in a fire wall, a reconfigured bar to improve sight lines and make more area available to patrons, and relocating an existing walk-in cooler. The work is required to comply with the approved drawings, with the plan review report, and with all applicable codes and ordinances. The fire sprinkler system is required to comply with NFPA 13 and the fire alarm system is required to comply with NFPA 72 as regulated by the Fire Department. Separate fire sprinkler permits and fire alarm permits shall be obtained prior to beginning any modification or installation work on such systems. **CJW**
