Subject: CODE 19-000138 Document Review & Determination
Attachments: 109 & 121 5 Tilliucm St Docs.pdf
Good Morning Samuel,
I had a chance to go over your documents with our building official yesterday afternoon. The documents you provided
were a Building Permit Application for 109 S Tillicum St, dated OS-01-85 and a City of Renton Certificate of Occupancy for
121 S Tillicum St, dated 07-17-86. Each of the documents show the respective buildings as being classified by the
building department as a B-2 Occupancy under the current code adopted by the City of Renton at that time(see
attachment).
The 1985 edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC)Table 5-A defines a group B-2 Occupancy as the following:
• Drinking and dining establishments having an occupant load of less than 50
• Wholesale and retail stores
• Office buildings
• Printing plants
• Municipal police and fire stations
• Factories and workshops using materials not highly flammable or combustible
• Storage and sales rooms for combustible goods
• Paint stores without bulk handling
As you can see,the B-2 Occupancy designation covers multiple types of uses and character of occupancies. According to
the building permit application you provided for 109 S Tillicum St,The tenant for which the space was being constructed
was Sunset Press. Under the UBC a printing press would be designated a B-2 Occupancy,the construction plans for the
building would have been reviewed for that specific type of building and character of occupancy. That printing press use
may remain perpetually for as long as that character of occupancy exists within that tenant space.
Both the UBC and the currently adopted 2015 International Building Code (IBC) state that a change in use or occupancy
classification or character shall not be made without having first made the building comply with the provisions of the
code for the change of use and obtaining a certificate of occupancy from the building official for the new use.
Based on the documents you provided to the City, and the characteristics of the of the existing structure, it appears that
the 109 S Tillicum St was constructed for use as a printing press and not for retail.There is no record of the building ever
being issued a change of occupancy permit from the Building Official since is original use, and as such requires a Change
of Occupancy pursuant to the IBC for retail use.
For this reason,Violation#2 of the City of Renton Warning of Violation CODE19-000138 for No Building Permit for the
change of occupancy of the structure located at 109 5 Tillicum St remains active. It would be appreciated if your client
could make a determination on how he chooses to proceed by 07-01-19. In the eyes of the City of Renton the options
are to discontinue the use ASAP (we can discuss reasonable timing) or the owner must hire a designer and begin the
process of producing required plans and documents for a Change of Occupancy Permit.
As always, I am available to discuss this matter with you anytime.
