City of Carmel-by-the-Sea Building Code Board of Appeals Regular Meeting
The Board discussed an appeal regarding a Notice of Violation issued for a specialty restaurant tenant space. Key topics included the requirement for the installation of an accessible public restroom within the space and the installation of a fire sprinkler system due to a change of occupancy. The Board reviewed staff reports, the appellant's contentions regarding code applicability, and the status of the business's Use Permit. The hearing involved deliberations on whether the change in occupancy triggered specific California Building and Fire Code requirements, ultimately leading to a resolution denying the appeal and upholding the Building Official's requirements.
