| Application | Application 1: Minimum fire-resistance rating of fire separations that separate major
occupancies classified as residential occupancies from
other major occupancies classified as mercantile or medium hazard
industrial occupancies. This applies to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 9.10.9.11.(3), which applies to fire separations that separate mercantile
occupancies from dwelling units, where
not more than 2 dwelling units are located in
a building containing a mercantile
occupancy.

| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.10.9.11.(1) by
increasing the required fire-resistance rating between residential occupancies
and other specific major occupancies [i.e. mercantile or medium hazard industrial
occupancies] from 1 to 2 hours, on the basis that these other specific occupancies
pose a higher fire risk than other occupancies. This
is to limit the probability that fire will spread from one major occupancy
to an adjacent major occupancy having a different degree of fire risk, which
could lead to harm to persons.
