| FYI | (STANDARD COMMENT) CHANGE OF USE/OCCUPANCY
It appears this project is a change of use or occupancy for this building. As such, the building must meet the current adopted fire code for its new use/occupancy. |

You are strongly encouraged to have any splices that may occur during this project, reviewed by CSFD. Failure to do so, can result in coordination issues that could prevent a final inspection from being completed, thus delaying the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
