Tashua Knolls Country Club – Golf Course Maintenance Building

2.0 Code Development

The following sections outline the state requirements for the building, storage within, and the overall protection

requirements.

2.1 BUILDING CLASSIFICATION

The project includes an addition to an existing single-story shed to serve the Tashua Knolls Country Club. The

proposed garage will store golf carts, fertilizer, and other maintenance related equipment/materials for the

management of the golf course. No refueling or repair operations are expected to occur within the garage, only

storage will occur. Buildings in which combustible materials are stored and that burn easily shall be classified as

a Group S-1 occupancy (CSBC §311.2).

Every new and existing building should comply with the CSFPC, CSFSC, and CSBC (CSFPC §10.1.2). All existing

buildings should comply with Part IV of the CSFSC (CSFPC §A.10.1.2).

2.2 EXISTING BUILDING COMPLIANCE

This section summarizes the requirements applicable to the project’s addition with regard to the CSEBC. An

“addition”, according to the CSEBC Definitions chapter, is an extension in the floor area, number of stories or

height of a building or structure. “Alteration” refers to any construction or renovation to an existing structure other

than repair or addition.

The provisions of the CSEBC apply to repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition, and relocation of existing

buildings, regardless of occupancy (CSEBC §101.2). Such repair, alteration, change of occupancy, addition, and

relocation of an existing building should comply with one (1) of the following methods not in combination with each

other selected by the applicant (CSEBC §301.1): Prescriptive Compliance Method, Work Area Compliance

Method, Performance Compliance Method, and Compliance Alternative Method. The Work Area Compliance

Method has been selected for the proposed renovations. All repairs, alterations, and additions should

comply with the applicable requirements of Chapter 3 and Chapters 7 through 11 of the CSEBC.

2.2.1 Classification of Project Work

Based on our understanding of the goals of the project, the project may involve the following classifications of

work, by type, according to the Work Area Compliance Method of CSEBC Chapter 5. A table found below
