9.10.9.16.(2) | Application | Intent |
| OS1 | OP1 |
| Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Minimum fire-resistance rating of fire separations that separate storage
garages from other occupancies, where such storage garages contain 5 motor vehicles or fewer.
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 9.10.9.16.(3), which applies to storage garages that serve only the dwelling
unit to which they are attached or in which they are built.

| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirement for a minimum 1.5 h rated
fire separation as stated in Sentence 9.10.9.16.(1) by permitting a lower
minimum rated fire separation between storage garages, on the basis that the
number of vehicles permitted in the garages is limited, thus minimizing the
fire load and fire risk. This is to limit the probability
that fire will spread from a storage garage to other parts of the building,
which could lead to harm to persons in the other parts of the building.
