Cannon Beach Elementary School Renovation: Finishes and Occupancy Load

The City Council meeting opened with a detailed discussion about the ongoing renovation of Cannon Beach Elementary School. The primary focus was on the design development phase, including cost estimates for gender-neutral restrooms and an advanced audiovisual system. The council was also briefed on the occupancy load, which must remain under 300 individuals to avoid additional requirements related to tsunami and seismic safety.

Dustin, the project manager, explained the complexities of calculating the occupancy load, especially for multifunctional spaces like the gym. He mentioned that the building official has the discretion to determine the actual occupant load based on the intended use of the spaces. The council members expressed concerns about ensuring the facility remains under 300 occupants to avoid being classified as a risk category three, which would prohibit public assembly buildings in tsunami zones.
