\"occupancy\"As businesses reopen, some are restricted to certain limitations based on a percentage of total occupancy. Below is information to help you determine the occupancy capacity for your business.<\/p>\n

Restaurants and Bars<\/strong>, please see your posted occupancy load certificate or refer to your Liquor License Agreement.<\/p>\n

Mercantile<\/strong> (stores, retail\/wholesale stores, sales rooms) if you do not have a predetermined occupancy load by design then use the following calculation: Square footage of sales area divided by 60.\u00a0 Square footage of storerooms, stock, shipping areas divided by 300.\u00a0 Add both numbers, this is your occupancy load.<\/p>\n

Business <\/strong>(banks, barber shops\/salons, professional services) if you do not have a predetermined occupancy load by design then use the following calculation: Square footage of area divided by 150<\/span> 100*, this is your occupancy load.<\/p>\n

Once the occupant load is known, divide the occupant load by the reduction per Executive Order(s).<\/p>\n

*This change reflects a Fire Code change from 2015 \u2013 2020.\u00a0 If the salon or barber shop was built before 3\/31\/20 they can use the 100.\u00a0 150 represents a newly constructed (after 3\/31\/20) building.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions, you can contact city staff for Mankato or North Mankato.<\/p>\n
