4. Storage Requlrements
The following is a product classification summary:
Product Cartoned? Encapsulated? Commodity Storage Maximum
(Attachment #2) Class Method Storage
Height(ft)
Metal Golf Shafts Yes No II Rack 22
Other Metal Parts ·Yes No II Rack 22
Golf Club Yes No ill&N Rack 22
Cover/"Sock":
Cotton/Wool/
Synthetic Materials
Golf Club Grips Yes No High Hazard Rack 22
As shown abov~, th~ materials· stored within all of the above mentioned storage systems are
a mixture of Class I-IV and High Hazard Commodities. ·
Per UFC 8101.5.2, the designation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or portion
thereof, is allowed to be based on a lower hazard class than that of the highest class of
commodity stored ·when a limited quantity of the higher hazard commodity has been
demonstrated by engineering analysis to be adequately protected by the sprinkler system
provided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the sprinkler system to
deliver the higher density required by the higher hazard commodity. The higher density
shall be based· on the actual storage height of the pile or rack and the minimum allowable
design area for sprinkler operation as set forth in the density/area figures provided in UFC
Standards 81-1 and 81-2. The contiguous area occupied by higher-hazard commodity shall
not exceed l~0 square f~et, and additional areas of higher-hazard commodity shall be
separated from other such areas by 25 feet or more. The sprinkler system shall be capable
of delivering the higher density over a minimum area of 900 square feet for wet pipe
systems and 1,200 square feet for dry pipe systems (Attachment # 3).
On behalf of the owners we are requesting to classify the main warehouse as Class I-IV
Cpmmodity bas~d on UFC Section 8101.5.2. The owners agree to implement and maintain
their facility to meet the requirements of UFC 8101.5 .2. Therefore the overall high piled
storage classification,. as well as the proposed protection, will be based on Class IV
commodity storage. Plans will be submitted by Callaway showing the locations of High
Hazard commodities. The proposed sprinkler protection is conservative and is based OJJ
High Hazard/Group A Plastics.
Per CFC Table 81-A (Attachment #4), the following requirements apply to the high piled_
storage/warehouse area:

Per CBC 906, 6 foot curtain boards are required such that curtained areas shall be
limited to 50,000 square feet (Attachment #10). This requirement would result in one
curtain board aiong the center of the warehouse.
On behalf of the owners, we are requesting that this requirement would be eliminated.
The benefits of curtain boards have been questioned. Even one curtain board can
interfere with the effectiveness of the sprinkler system if.the fire occurs near the curtain
board.
4.6 Small Hose Connections
Per CFC Section 8102.9.1, I·½" small hose connections shall be provided at approved
locations. ·When required by the chief, hose, nozzles, hose racks, and cabinets or covers
shall be provided (Attachment # 11). Per NFP A 13 5-15 .5 .1, supply for hose connections
shall be from outside hydrants, a separate piping system for small hose stations, valved
hose connections on sprinkler risers where such connections are made upstream of all
sprinkler control valves, adjacent sprinkler systems, in rack storage areas, or the ceiling
sprinkler system in the same area (as long as in-rack sprinklers are provided in the same
area and are separately controlled). PerNFPA 14 Section 5-3.3, all portions of the
warehouse shall be within 130 of a hose connection.
Hose connections are proposed for the entire warehouse portion of the building. Hose
connection locations and design details will be provided by the sprinkler contractor. Hose,
nozzles, hose racks, and cabinets or covers shall be provided only at the specific request of
the Carlsbad Fire Department during sprinkler plan review.
4. 7 Fire Extinguishers
Per CFC Sections 8102.11 and 1002. l, portable fire extinguishers shall be installed in
occ:upancies and locations as required by the chief. The following are proposed fire
extinguisher types and layouts based on CFC Standard 10-1 (Attachment # 12):
High Piled Storage Areas: · 2A20BC @ Travel Distance:::; 75 Feet
The owners agree to comply with the requirements for fire extinguishers. Fire extinguisher
types and l_ocations will be provided by the owners or fire extinguisher vendor.

6. Exposures
·6.1 Occupancy Separation
Based on CBC Table 3-B, there are no requirements for occupancy separation between B,
F-1, and S-1 occupancies (Attachment # 16).
6.2 Occupancy Separations
Per Section 8102.3 .2.1, the aggregate of all high-piled storage areas within a building shall
be used for application of Table 81-A unless such areas are separated from each other by
one-hour-rated fire-resistive walls constructed in accordance with the Building Code.
Openings in such walls shall be protected by fire assemblies having a one-hour fire-
. protection rating (Attachment# I 6).
The building will be fully occupied by Callaway Golf. There·is only one proposed high
piled storage area within the building. Therefore the requirements of 8102.3 .2.1 are not
applicable.

the path of exit travel through or around permanent construction
features and building elements. Travel around tables, chairs, fur-
nishings, cabinets and similar temporary or movable :fIXIUres or
eql!ipment need not be considered as the nonnal presence of such
items is factored into the permitted travel distance.
Unless prohibited elsewhere in this chapter, travel within the
exit access may occur on multiple levels by way of unenclosed
stairways or ramps. Where the path of exit travel includes unen-
closed stairways or rantps within the exit access, the distance of
travel on such means of egress components shall also be included
in the travel distance measurement. The measurement along stair-
ways shall be made on a plane parallel and tangentto the stairtread
nosings in the center of the stairway.
