| Application | Application 1: Minimum fire-resistance rating of 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. This applies to 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 supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.10.9.11.(2) for
a residential occupancy with not more than 2 dwelling units that is adjacent
to a mercantile occupancy and permit a reduction in the minimum required fire-resistance
rating of the fire separation, on the basis that the number of dwelling units
is limited and thus the mercantile occupancy does not pose a risk to a large
number of persons. This is to limit the probability that
fire will spread from one mercantile occupancy to an adjacent residential
occupancy having a different degree of fire risk, which could lead to harm
to persons.
