Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that too large a floor area in secondary suites [i.e. more than 80 m2] will increase the occupant load or fire load beyond the loads generally found in a single dwelling unit with a finished basement, which could lead to fire emergency response operations being delayed or ineffective, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
