Light Industrial Use?[edit | edit source]
elykrod — 2020-03-13
I know a lot of equipment has been roped off and labeled for non-use, with concern regarding the sprinklers, etc. and I respect that.
But The SF Planning site has the building zoned for light industrial, not to be confused with heavy industrial.
Meaning the wood shop and the sewing area should be ok to use.
Am I missing something?

I would say the issue of closing down the tools was well researched. Though you are welcome to present your findings to the fire department to see if they have a change of heart.
Here are some threads in case you missed them:

So long story short, the building is zoned for it, but it is not up to fire code to support F-1 work. For a three story building to be used for lite manufacturing within F-1 (includes carpentry, metal grinding / welding, electronics, etc) it must be fully sprinklered.
Not just the floor, but the full building.

Sure, what Tyler said.
…But also, we were doing all that stuff for about 9 years before anyone said anything about it. I’m not sure how it matters if we do it for another month.

Got it.
Thanks for the extra clarification Paul and Tyler. That’s unfortunate that the building isn’t up to code. Looking forward to helping with the move!
