To exempt roof assemblies and supporting arches and columns of combustible construction from the requirement of Sentence 3.2.2.35.(1) that noncombustible construction be used, on the basis that there is a limit on the occupant load and that the 6 m limiting distance limits the probability of fire spreading from another building.
