This Code clarifies that a special amusement building is an assembly occupancy, even if the occupant load is fewer than 50 persons.
If an assembly occupant were not subjected to these provisions, the house of horror amusement building at a carnival, for example, might be treated as a business occupancy, because it does not have the minimum 50-person occupant load typically associated with an assembly occupancy. If it treated as a business occupancy, the necessary level of life safety would probably not be provided.
