Subject to the approval of the fire and building code officials, the use or occupancy of an existing structure shall be allowed to be changed, and the structure is allowed to be occupied for purposes in other groups without conforming to all the requirements of this code and the California Building Code for those groups, provided the new or proposed use is less hazardous, based on life and fire risk, than the existing use.
