  • excessive distortion of the building, which could impede the use and occupancy of the building.

Intent 2:

To direct Code users to other requirements of this Subsection for the design, as well as to Subsections 4.3.1., 4.3.3.,and 4.3.4., and to the appropriate structural requirements of Section 4.1.
