(b) rooms and food service/restaurant facilities.
The three categories of buildings that are eligible for this re-classification are as follows:

Type 2: a building that is not a Type 1 building and which does not have more than twenty rooms;
Type 3: a building that is not a Type 1 building and which does have more than twenty rooms.
