SECTION 343B - ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
Code Plain English

343B.1 General.

A Group F-7 Occupancy shall conform with CEC requirements as for an F-1 occupancy. The designated residential area of an individual F-7 occupancy JLWQ shall comply with the 1995 CEC Section 210-52 relating to dwelling unit receptacle outlets.

 

Electrical code requirements in live/work follow two guidelines;

  1. The minimum residential facilities (see chart 327B-A), and
  2. The "default occupancy" i.e. "F" for work/live and "R" for live/work.

In either case, the minimum residential facilities need to be provided. This includes, as stated in 327B-A, wall receptacles (outlets) spaced at a minimum of every twelve feet in the designated residential portion of each F-7 JLWQ and throughout any R-7 or R-8 live/work unit. In general, the work portion of an F-7 JLWQ need not be provided with any more than a sub-panel ready to feed out to branch circuits, much like in a commercial tenant improvement.
