Barn (Agricultural) Conversion to
Print Shop (F-1)
Carmel, Indiana
Chapter 34 Analysis
1. The building is an existing 1-story barn (agricultural building) proposed for conversion to a Class 1 structure for use
as a sign printing shop. The building has approximately 1,944 square feet in floor area. The building is classified as
Type VB Construction and will be evaluated as F-1 Occupancy.
2. The proposed conversion of a portion of the building to F-1 Occupancy will be classified as a “change of occupancy”
per Rule 4, Section 11(b), GAR.
3. Rule 4, Section 11(b), GAR, permits existing structures undergoing a change in occupancy to comply with either;
• The rules for new construction for the proposed new use, or
• Sec. 3412, IBC, “Compliance Alternatives”
4. Sec. 3412, IBC will be used as the benchmark method of evaluating existing building compliance for the proposed use
of the building.
5. The proposed strategy will permit the re-use of the building for the proposed uses based upon the following features
and fire protection systems:
• Type VB Construction (existing)
• Exit signage and emergency lighting per current code
