Discussion Questions (2 points)
1. You have been directed by the chief’s office to look into a complaint by a city council member that a new house of worship is dangerously overcrowded on Friday afternoons. Over 300 cars have been counted in the undersized parking lot and within the surrounding community. The facility is an existing building formerly used as a school and is located within a residential neighborhood. Upon research you discover that the occupant load for the building based on square footage and capacity of the means of egress should be approximately five hundred persons. However, a zoning restriction imposed on the occupancy permit limits the facility to two hundred persons, based on the availability of only one hundred parking spaces in the parking lot.

c. What would be your report to the chief’s office?
