Floors above crawl spaces that are not required by Article 9.10.8.9. to be constructed as basements [i.e. crawl spaces that do not exceed 1.8�m in height and that are not used for any occupancy nor as a plenum in combustible construction nor for the passage of flue pipes ], in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].

Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt floors above certain crawl spaces from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.9.4.(1), which would otherwise require the floors to be fire separations, on the basis that the height of the crawl space is limited and the crawl space is not used as an occupancy or as a plenum, and thus the crawl space is not expected to present an undue fire risk.
