Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that a fire involving a below-grade storey of a garage will spread to other parts of the building, which could lead to damage to the building.

To exempt open-air storeys from the latter part of Sentence 3.3.5.4.(7) requiring sprinkler protection on the basis that fire and smoke will be ventilated directly to the outdoors thereby minimizing the spread of fire from the garage to other parts of the building.
