I am working on a mixed use CS building with a large retail area. The retail space in question has no access to views. However retail areas tend to be regularly occupied at the checkouts/teller stations, meanwhile the general retail floor area has infrequent staff and in my opinion does not constitute regularly occupied space.
Do you think that it is acceptable to create a feasible tenant layout which shows the checkout/teller stations as regularly occupied, meanwhile the remaining floor area is shown as non-regularly occupied?

The Regularly occupied Space Matrix dated April 2015 indicates that Merchandise Areas are considered regularly occupied. So the answer to your question is no. Both the teller area and retail merchandise must be considered regularly occupied.
