Chuck,
In recent conversations with Public Health, it appears you want to amend the above permit for a Secondary Dwelling
Unit to include a commercial kitchen. On the surface this might appear to be a simple task until one starts to review the
various codes related to building and food service.
From the food service code:
6-202.111 Private Homes and Living or Sleeping Quarters, Use Prohibition. A private home, a room used as living or
sleeping quarters, or an area directly opening into a room used as living or sleeping quarters may not be used for
conducting FOOD ESTABLISHMENT operations.
As per Nerida Mojarro from Public Health, the proposed kitchen would need to be completely walled off from the rest of
the dwelling unit. One would need to exit the dwelling unit and enter the commercial kitchen from the exterior through
a separate door into the kitchen.
From the building code the following items also need to be addressed:
1. Make up air Section 508 and 510.5.5 2015 International Mechanical Code (IMC) for the various convection ovens
and hoods.
2. Type II Hood Sec 507.3 IMC above the convection ovens and any other possible heat and moisture producing
appliances.
3. Grease Traps Sec 1003 of the 2015 International Plumbing Code (IPC) to protect the septic system.
4. General protection of potable water supply Sec 608 and Table 608.1 IPC by backflow prevention assemblies and
air gaps.
Mixing a residential use with a commercial use does complicate the review and construction of a structure. We will
need to consider the structure as a mixed-use R-3, B residential and business use under the 2015 International Building
Code (IBC). Another possible option for review would be to utilize Sec 419 Live/Work which would simplify the
requirements. Have your architect review the structure to determine if this is a possibility and include documentation
with the amendment.
You should also check with the local fire district for fire code related items. We will hold off on any amendments for this
permit until the above items are addressed. Any amendments to the approved plans should be on 18" x 24" sized paper
and accurately represent the proposed use, changes and construction of the areas. Please call with any questions.
Thanks,
