Hypothetical example / San Bernardino
Converting a commercial building to residential
Imagine converting a commercial building into apartments. Change of occupancy can bring new requirements. Ask the reviewer how the conversion is treated. A change of occupancy may require meeting current requirements for envelope, mechanical, lighting and water heating. Ask the reviewer how existing elements are treated. Provide unit plans, common area plans and system descriptions. Multifamily documentation can differ from nonresidential, so confirm which form types apply before the preparer starts.
Illustrative scenario only; not a statement about local projects, climate or permit rules.
