Dear Mr. Motz,
I want to thank you for reaching out prior to me formalizing code requirements'
I was asked by the local Fire Marshal to accompany him to the address above to evaluate a
paint booth your tenant bought and partially installed. We did a site visit on April 1'1',2024.
During the visit it was noted that the building was previously approved as a 3-sided storage
structure, S-j. is the Occupancy Group for storage. Sometime after th'e county approved the S-1
Occupancy and today, the building has been enclosed and houses two tenants, one refinished
cabinets/furniture the other tenant is an automotive repair. By enclosing the structure and
allowing tenants, it changed the Occupancy Classification of the building to an F-L Occupancy'
Both Enclosing the building and changingthe occupancy requires a building permit per 20L5 IBC
section l_05. There are a multitude of code requirements when enclosing the structure, I will
name a few major items for your reference. To obtain a permit for the changes to the structure,
a licensed design professional will be required to stamp the drawings and address code related
items for review.
Some items that the design professional will need to address is as follows, this is not an all-
inclusive list but some of the large items for your reference.
o Submit for a building permit and stamped drawings for enclosing the building.
o provide accessible parking and accessible route into the building'
o Provide accessible restroom(s).
re uired
An emergency exhaust on a carbon monoxide detector is required when you pull
vehicles in a building'
The insulation in the builCing is to rneet current energy codes now that it's enclosed and
heated.
Provlde clear concise installation instructions for the specific paint booth or mechanical
engineering drawings are to address the installation.
Paint Booths are regulated by the Cclorado Department of Public Health. Please see the
attached application.
Your design professionals are to address code requirements. lf they need guidance, I am willing
to meet and discuss requirements.
Respectfully,
/alfn.?/ane
