Outdoor Patio Code Review - Ames, IA
------------------------------------------------------------
Codes
2015 IBC & IFC (with local amendments),
ICC A117.1-2009 (Accessibility),
2012 IECC (energy),
2020 NEC (electrical).
This review focuses on IBC/IFC/Accessibility.
Occupant Load (IBC 2015 Table 1004.1.2)
• Patio Area: 3,120 sf | Seating: 9 tables × 8 seats = 72 occupants
• Standing Area: 936 sf ÷ 5 sf/occ = 188 occupants
• Total Occupant Load (posted): 260 occupants
• Note: Dining OL based on actual seating per AHJ; dining-by-area check = 2,184 sf ÷ 15 =
146 occ (for reference).
Means of Egress & Gates
• Minimum Number of Exits: >= 2 (Group A, OL > 49). Remote separation per IBC §1007.1.1.
• Required Egress Capacity: 260 occ × 0.20 in/occ = 52.0 in clear total.
• Proposed Gates: 2 × 36-in clear, outswing, panic-equipped (combined 72 in).
• Door/Gate Swing & Hardware: Swing in direction of egress; panic hardware on latching
gates/doors serving Group A with OL >= 50 (IBC §1010, IFC/IBC panic).
• Egress Illumination: >= 1 foot-candle at walking surfaces while occupied (IBC §1008).
• Exit Signs: Provide where two or more exits are required (exceptions per AHJ).
Accessibility (ADA & ICC A117.1-2009)
• Accessible Route: Firm, stable, slip-resistant; slope <= 1:20 (ramps if steeper), cross-slope
<= 1:48.
• Accessible Dining/Standing Positions: >= 5% of seating at dining surfaces => provide 4
dispersed positions, including at least one under the canopy.
• Dining Surface Heights: 28-34 in, with 30x48 in clear floor space; knee/toe clearances per
§902.
Guards & Edges
• Provide guards where the adjacent drop is > 30 in; top of guard >= 42 in; opening limits
per IBC (4-in sphere typical).
Plumbing Fixtures (Incremental for Patio OL = 260)
• Per Sex Basis: 130 persons of each sex (Iowa uses 50/50 split).
• Restaurant Use (A-2 restaurant): Water closets = 2 per sex; Lavatories = 1 per sex.
• Bar/Nightclub Use (A-2 bar): Water closets = 4 per sex; Lavatories = 1 per sex.
• Urinal substitution limits may apply (e.g., <= 67% of required men's WCs as urinals when
using gender-neutral rooms).
Open-Air Canopy (20'x20' = 400 sf) - IFC 2015 §3103.2 Exception
• Open on all sides, <= 700 sf -> typically exempt from tent permit if >= 12 ft from
buildings/other tents; aggregated area <= 700 sf.
• No sidewalls installed; no portable heaters beneath canopy; maintain manufacturer
anchorage/ballast; no open flames under canopy.
• Egress governed by patio (no separate tent exits while exception applies).
References: IBC 2015 §§1004 (Occ. Load), 1005 (Egress Capacity), 1008 (Illumination),
1010 (Doors/Hardware), §§1029 (Aisle Access at Tables), §2902 (Plumbing); ICC A117.1-
2009 §902 (Dining Surfaces); IFC 2015 §3103.2 (Open Canopy), §603.4.2 (Heaters).
