Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that an exposing building face
will have insufficient fire resistance, which could lead to the spread of
fire from the building to an adjacent building during the time required for
emergency responders to perform their duties, which could lead to damage to
adjacent buildings. Intent 2: To limit the probability that an exposing building face
will be ignited and contribute to a fire, which could lead to the spread of
fire from the building to an adjacent building during the time required for
emergency responders to perform their duties, which could lead to damage to
adjacent buildings. |
