buildings
will
generally
belong
in
one
of
the
seven
categories
listed
in
this
section.
If
a
building
is
not
specifically
listed,
it
belongs
in
the
category
to
which
it
is
most
closely
related.
Categories
are
 determined
 according
 to
 how
 the
 space
 is
 used.
 Where
 a
 building
 has
 multiple
 occupancy
 types
(where
one
occupancy
is
more
than
10%
of
the
floor
area),
the
highest
category
is
used
to
determine
the
fee.

 of
