Building Egress with a Mezzanine
Building Egress with a Mezzanine
(OP)
I have a restaurant with a mezzanine. The mezzanine has an at-grade exit off of the back of the building and an interior open curving stair down to the first floor. The first floor has two at-grade exits that are too close to be considered remote. Can I consider the exit off the mezzanine a second means of egress for the first floor? The occupants would have to travel up the stairs. The travel distance is not a problem. Thoughts?

Submit it to the building department and see what they say....the worst case is they deny it and you have to provide the other exit.
