| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.10.14.5.(1),
which might otherwise require a higher fire-resistance rating, if certain
conditions are met. This is to limit the probability
that an exposing building face will have insufficient fire resistance, which
could lead to the spread of fire from the subject building to an adjacent
building during the time required for emergency responders to perform their
duties, which could lead to damage to the adjacent building.
Intent 2: To exempt the exterior cladding of certain detached garages
or accessory buildings from the requirements of Sentence 9.10.14.5.(1),
which might otherwise require the cladding to be noncombustible, on the basis
that the accessory buildings and garages serve one dwelling unit only and
such structures are not expected to be normally occupied. |
