1 1. Introduction
The following is a high piled storage code compliance report for the new proposed
Enterbrands facility located at 2345 Camino Vida Roble in the City of Carlsbad, CA. This
I report is intended to specify the requirements within the storage portion of Enterbrands
only. This report is intended to help both the owners and the fire department in expediting
plan review and effectively determine the requirements necessary to meet the Article 81 of
I the California Fire Code. This report is based on the 2001 Edition of the California Fire
Code and the California Building Code.

2. Building Construction, Occupancy,
and Design
2.1 Building Construction and Design
The building is of Type VN Construction. The building is one-story. The building is
approximately 9,730 square feet. The Enterbrands leases the entire building, with less than
5,000 square feet of warehouse (Attachment 41).
The history of the building permit/application for this building is unknown. Therefore new
high piled storage permits in accordance with 2001 Edition of the California Fire Code is
proposed.
2.2 Building Occupancy
The facility was originally intended for manufacturing. The original occupancy for the
building was B/F-I. Currently part of the facility will be used for storage of finished
products. Therefore the occupancy has changes to B/F-i/S-1 (Attachment #1). The basic
allowable area for a B/F-i and a B/F-i/S-1 are identical (Attachment #1). Therefore there
this change in occupancy does not change the allowable area calculations (see Section 5.0
of this report). There are some offices that are incidental to this facility. The storage
portion of the facility is classified as an S-i Occupancy. The remainder of this report will
address the storage portion of the facility only.
Rev 2.0 Klausbruckner & Associates Page 2
3. Storage Requirements
3.1 Commodity Classification
The commodities in storage are .cartoned and uncartoned golf accessories products on
racks. The following is a list of sample commodities (Attachment #2):
Products Class: Rack Shelving Cartons or Maximum Commodity
Solid! Non-Solid Bags or Storage Height Class
Encapsulated (ft)
Leather Golf Bags, Shoes, Non-Solid Cartoned (Non- 12 Class ifi
Pouches, Gloves, etc. Encapsulated)
Nylon Bags Non-Solid Cartoned (Non- 12 Class IV
Encapsulated)
Cotton Caps, Cotton Non-Solid Cartoned (Non- 12 Class ifi
Visors, T-Shirts, Cashmere, Encapsulated)
Merlino Wool, Cotton
Towels
Cotton Caps, Cotton Non-Solid Cartoned (Non- 5 High
Visors, T-Shirts, Cashmere, Encapsulated) Hazard

As shown in the table above, there are very limited amounts of high hazard commodity in
the warehouse. The owners agree to limit the storage of their high hazard commodity
(Clothing in Plastic Totes) to a maximum of 5 feet in height on floor, with no other storage
above.
Based on CFC 216 there are no high piled storage within the warehouse (Attachment #3).
The following requirements apply to the non-high piled storage portion of their facility:

1 5. Exposures
The entire building will be occupied by Enterbrands. Therefore, there are no occupancy
separation requirements between Enterbrands and any adjacent tenant spaces.
I There are no separation requirements between B, F-i, and S-i Occupancies required by
CBC Table 3-B (Attachment #9).
The allowable areas and sideyards are existing. Since the basic allowable area for an S-i is
I identical to B and F-i occupancies, the allowable area calculations are not affected by the
change in occupancy from B/F-1 to B/F-i/S-1.

8101.5 Designation of High-piled Storage Areas,
8101.5.1 General. High-piled storage areas, and portions of
high-piled storage areas intended for storage of a different com-
modity class than adjacent areas, shall be designed and specifical-
ly designated to contain Class 1, Class LI, Class 111, Class IV or
high-hazard commodities. The designation of a high-piled com-
bustible storage area, or portion thereof intended for storage of a
different commodity class, shall be based on the highest hazard
commodity class stored except as provided in Section 8101.5.2.
8101.5.2 Designation based on engineering analysis. The des-
ignation of a high-piled combustible storage area, or portion there-
of, 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 pro-
vided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the
sprinkler system to deliver the higher density required by the high-
er-hazard commodity. The higher density shall be based on the ac-
tual 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-I and 81-2. The contiguous
area occupied by hi8her-hazard commodity shall not exceed 120
square feet (11.15 m2), and additional areas of higher-hazard com-
modity shall be separated from other such areas by
25 feet (7620 mm) or more.
The sprinkler system shall be capable of delivering the higher
density over a minimum area of 900 square feet (83.6 m2) for wet pipe systems and 1,200 square feet (1115 m2) for dry pipe sys-
tems. The shape of the design area shall be in accordance with the
Fire Code (see Section 9003, Standard n.2.9).
8101.6 Housekeeping and Maintenance.
8101.6.1 Rack structures. The structural integrity of racks shall
be maintained.
8101.6.2 Ignition sources.
8101.6.2.1 General. Clearance from ignition sources shall be
provided in accordance with Section 1109.
8101.6.2.2 Smoking. Smoking shall be prohibited. Approved
NO SMOKING signs shall be conspicuously posted. See Sec-
tion 1109.4.
8101.6.3 Aisle maintenance. When restocking is not being con-
ducted, aisles shall be kept clear of storage, waste material and de-
bris. Fire department access doors, aisles and exit doors shall not
be obstructed.
During restocking operations using manual stocking methods, a
minimum unobstructed aisle width of 24 inches (609.6 nun) shall
be maintained in 48-inch (1219.2 nun) or smaller aisles, and a
minimum unobstructed aisle width of one half of the required aisle width shall be maintained in aisles greater than 48 inches (1219.2
mm). During mechanical stocking operations, a minimum unob-structed aisle width of 44 inches (1117.6 mm) shall be maintained. See Section 8102.10.
8101.6.4 Pile dimension and height limitations. See Sec-tion 8103.3.
8101.6.5 Arrays. See Section 8103.4.

ligrams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered by
continuous contact for 24 hours, or less if death occurs within 24
hours, with the bare skin of albino rabbits weighing between 2 and
3 kilograms each.
A chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LC50) in
air of 200 parts per million by volume or less of gas or vapor, or 2
milligrams per liter or less of mist, fume or dust, when adminis-
tered by continuous inhalation for one hour, or less if death occurs
within one hour, to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300
grams each.
Mixtures of these materials with ordinary materials, such as wa-
ter, might not warrant classification as highly toxic. While this
system is basically simple in application, any hazard evaluation
which is required for the precise categorization of this type of ma-terial shall be performed by experienced, technically competent
persons.
HIGHLY VOLATILE LIQUID is a liquid with a boiling point
of less than 68°F (20°C).
HIGH PILED COMBUSTIBLE STORAGE is storage of

analysis to be adequately protected by the sprinkler system pro-
vided. The engineering analysis shall consider the ability of the
sprinkler system to deliver the higher density required by the high-
er-hazard commodity. The higher density shall be based on the ac-
tual 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 120
square feet (11.15 m2), and additional areas of higher-hazard com-
modity shall be separated from other such areas by
