EXITING REVIEW
The overall area of the building is approximately 97,750 square feet.
Subtracting the receiving, office areas, tire shop and public
restrooms the area of the retail sales area would be approximately
90,500 square feet.
Based on Table 33-A, exiting from a retail sales area is based on an
occupant load factor of 30 on the ground floor. Therefore the number
of exits required and the required exit width would be:
90,500 Square Feet/30 = 3016 Occupants
Per Section 3303(a) Four Exits Are Required
Exit Width = 3016/50 = 60.33 Lineal Feet Of Exit Width Required
Each Exit Should Be 60.33 4 = 15 Lineal Feet In Width
Currently the building has been provided with exits as follows:
Front Entry (North)
1 - #16--Bear - 16
i �---#-16--Door•-

The total retail sales area has been provided with -lineal feet of
exit width where the code would only require 60 lineal feet. However,
the exit width should be divided up"approximately equal"among the four
required exits. This proposed exiting layout should be discussed with
the Fort Collins Building Department for their review and approval.
