� nbb� � � <br /> Part VI <br /> WAC SI-19-600 General <br /> As mentioned above,there is a change of use/occupancy i�cluded in this proposed project. The <br /> �:ode recognius this possibility and provides guidance in applying Code provisions where the <br /> hazard level changes. An esse�ment of the occupancy change,by table,follows: <br /> Tables VI-I,Height and Area. Change of occupancy from B to R-I constitutes no chen¢e in <br /> the ha7ard rating. Both are considered a 3 (three). <br /> Tables VI-2,Life Safety and Exits. Change of occupancy from B to R-1 constitutes an increase <br /> from level 4(four)up to a level3(thrce)ha7ard. <br /> Tables VI-3, Occupancy Separations. Change of occupancy from B to R-1 constitutes a <br /> decreese in hazard level from 2(two)down to a 4(four). <br /> Tables V[-M1, Exposure of Exterior Walls and Steinvay Enclosures.Change of occupancy from <br /> B to R-1 �onstitutes a decrease in hezerd level from 2(two)down to a 4(four). <br /> Tables VI-5,Earthquake Safety. Change ofoccupancy from B to R-1 constitutes an increase <br /> from level4(four)up to a level 2(two)ha�a�d. <br /> This section considers the proposed project on five different fronts. The most concerning is <br /> Table VI-5, Farthquake safety,wl�ere this project,with the proposed change in use from e B to <br /> the R-1 proposed,produces a higher hazard rating. This result sends us to the following <br /> section. <br /> R'.!C SI-19-6l0 Sfructural Sofety Buildings and strucrures shaJ!meet!he minrmum level oj <br /> perjormance jor struclura!sajety as specified in P�ts IV and V ojthis chapter. <br /> Hrstoric buildings may wdergo a chmige oJoccupancy ijrhe hazard group is egun!ro or less <br /> than the existing occuprmcy as shown in Table No. VfS.

Part V gces over the"survey <br /> or evaluation." <br /> Summary <br /> The Counry is proposing a project that modifies en historic building. It is a temporary <br /> condition,where a special inmate population takes meals and sleeps. 7Le temporary namre of <br /> this occupancy is driven by the displacement from their present location,to a temporary <br /> location until their new home can be prepared. The County estimates that this condition may <br /> exist for a period of 36 to 42 months tied directly to the construction of the new jail building. <br /> The County acknowledges the hezards identified in the Seismic Evaluation Report prepared by <br /> Skilling Ward Magnuson Barkshire,dated September 1,2000. In that report there are several <br /> non-structural seismic ha7ards identifed and it is those non-structural he7ards that the County <br /> will address as part of this project. <br /> �6 <br />
