**Section 403.3.2; change to read as follows:
[F] 403.3.2 Water supply to required fire pumps. In buildings that are more than 120 feet (36.5
m) in building height, required fire pumps shall be supplied by connections to no fewer than two
water mains located in different streets. Separate supply piping shall be provided between each
connection to the water main and the pumps. Each connection and the supply piping between the
connection and the pumps shall be sized to supply the flow and pressure required for the pumps
to operate.
Exception: {No change to exception.}
(Reason: The 2009 edition of the IFC added this requirement based on a need for redundancy
of the water supply similar to the redundancy of the power supply to the fire pumps required for
such tall buildings, partially due to the fact that these buildings are rarely fully evacuated in a fire
event. More commonly, the alarm activates on the floor of the event, the floor above and the floor
below. Back-up power to the fire pump becomes critical for this reason. Certainly, the power is
pointless if the water supply is impaired for any reason, so a similar requirement is provided here
for redundant water supplies. The 2015 edition changed the requirement to only apply to very tall
buildings over 420 ft. This amendment modifies/lowers the requirement to 120 ft., based on this
same height requirement for fire service access elevators. Again, the language from the 2009
and 2012 editions of the code applied to any high-rise building. This compromise at 120 ft. is
based on the above technical justification of defend-in-place scenarios in fire incidents in such tall
structures)

***Section 403.3.2; change to read as follows:
Section 404.10 Exit Stairways in an atrium. Where an atrium contains an exit access stairway
all the following shall be met:
[Remainder Unchanged]
(Reason: The five provisions within Section 404.10 are applicable to exit access stairways, not
interior exit stairways. As printed, this is an error, that if left uncorrected, would change among
other core code provisions, how to measure travel distance to an enclosed exit stairway. There is
use of the terms "exit stairway in an atrium"vs. "interior exit stairway" vs. "exit access stairway"
that will cause confusion as to which provisions are applicable.)

A fire separation is not required between a Group R-2 and U carport provided that the carport is
entirely open on all sides and that the distance between the two is at least 10 feet (3048 mm).
(Reason: Simplifies the fire separation distance and eliminates the need to obtain opening
information on existing buildings when adding carports in existing apartment complexes.
Consistent with legacy codes in effect in region for years and no record of problems with car fires

***Section 423.5.1; change to read as follows:
423.5.1 Required occupant capacity. The required occupant capacity of the storm shelter
shall include all of the buildings on the site and shall be the
Total occupant load of the classrooms, vocational rooms and offices in the Group E occupancy.
Exceptions:
1. Where a new building is being added on an existing Group E site, and where the new building
is not of sufficient size to accommodate the required occupant capacity of the storm shelter for
all of the buildings on the site, the storm shelter shall at a minimum accommodate the required
occupant capacity for the new building.
2. Where approved by the building official, the required occupant capacity of the shelter shall be
permitted to be reduced by the occupant capacity of any existing storm shelters on the site.
3. Where approved by the building official, the actual number of occupants for whom each
occupied space, floor or building is designed, although less than those determined by occupant
load calculation, shall be permitted to be used in the determination of the required design
occupant capacity for the storm shelter.
Reason: The language in the new exception is parallel to the language in Chapter 10 that gives
an AHJ similar authority for fire egress occupant load, clarifying that an AHJ has the authority to
reduce the required shelter occupant capacity based on rationale provided by a School District.)

***Section 708.4.2;change sentence to read as follows:
708.4.2 Fireblocks and draftstops in combustible construction. [Body of text unchanged]
Exceptions:
1. Buildings equipped with an automatic sprinkler system installed throughout in
accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, or in accordance with Section 903.3.1.2 provided
that sprinkler protection is provided in the space between the top of the fire partition
and the underside of the floor or roof sheathing, deck or slab above as required for
systems complying with Section 903.3.1.1. Portions of buildings containing concealed
spaces filled with noncombustible insulation as permitted for sprinkler omission shall
not apply to this exception for draftstopping. [Remainder unchanged]
Reason: The most common exception used to eliminate the need for sprinklers in concealed
spaces of combustible construction is to fill the space with noncombustible insulation. This
exception was changed in 2010 to permit a 2-inch air gap at the top of the filled space. A space
compliant with the permitted omission above would allow hot gas and smoke to spread
unimpeded throughout a building not provided with draftstopping. For this reason, omission of
sprinklers permitted in accordance with NFPA 13 referenced standard should not be permitted

caps are missing, and also hydrostatically tested for all FDC's on any type of standpipe
system. Hydrostatic testing shall also be conducted in accordance with NFPA 25
requirements for the different types of standpipe systems.
2. For any manual(dry or wet)standpipe system not having an automatic water supply capable
of flowing water through the standpipe, the tester shall connect hose from a fire hydrant or
portable pumping system (as approved by the fire code officiao to each FDC, and flow water
through the standpipe system to the roof outlet to verify that each inlet connection functions
properly. Confirm that there are no open hose valves prior to introducing water into a dry
standpipe. There is no required pressure criteria at the outlet. Verify that check valves
function properly and that there are no closed control valves on the system.
3. Any pressure relief, reducing, or control valves shall be tested in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA 25. All hose valves shall be exercised.
4 If the FDC is not already provided with approved caps,the contractor shall install such caps
for all FDC's as required by the fire code official.
5. Upon successful completion of standpipe test, place a blue tag(as per Texas Administrative
Code, Fire Sprinkler Rules for Inspection,Test and Maintenance Service(ITM)Tag) at the
bottom of each standpipe riser in the building. The tag shall be check-marked as"Fifth Year"
for Type of ITM, and the note on the back of the tag shall read "5 Year Standpipe Test" at a
minimum.
6. The procedures required by Texas Administrative Code Fire Sprinkler Rules with regard to
Yellow Tags and Red Tags or any deficiencies noted during the testing, including the
required notification of the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (fire code officiao shall be
followed.
7, Additionally, records of the testing shall be maintained by the owner and contractor, if
applicable, as required by the State Rules mentioned above and NFPA 25.
8. Standpipe system tests where water will be flowed external to the building shall not be
conducted during freezing conditions or during the day prior to expected nighttime freezing
conditions.
9. Contact the fire code official for requests to remove existing fire hose from Class II and III
standpipe systems where employees are not trained in the utilization of this firefighting
equipment. All standpipe hose valves must remain in place and be provided with an
approved cap and chain when approval is given to remove hose by the fire code official.
(Reason: Increases the reliability of the fire protection system and re-emphasizes the
requirements of NFPA 25 relative to standpipe systems, as well as ensuring that FDC connections
are similarly tested/maintained to ensure operation in an emergency incident.)

(Reason: Such alternative systems do not provide the reliability of automatic sprinkler protection.
Most gaseous type systems are highly susceptible to open doors, ceiling or floor the removal, etc.
However, an applicant could pursue an Alternate Method request to help mitigate the reliability

{No change to remainder of section.}
(Reason: The change to the 2021 IFC over-reached to limit 13R systems to 30 ft. high at topmost
floor level, which basically results in limiting 13R systems to 3 story buildings in reality. This
change to 35 ft. would still allow 13R systems in 4 story apartment buildings, as has been allowed

activate the building fire alarm system.
4.3. Construct the attic using noncombustible materials.
4.4. Construct the attic using fire-retardant-treated wood complying with Section
2303.2 of the International Building Code.
4.5. Fill the attic with noncombustible insulation.
(Reason: Attic protection is required due to issues with fire exposure via soffit vents, as well as
firefighter safety. Several jurisdictions indicated experience with un-protected attic fires resulting
in displacement of all building occupants. NFPA 13 provides for applicable attic sprinkler
protection requirements, as well as exemptions to such, based on noncombustible construction,
etc. Attached garages already require sprinklers via NFPA 13R — this amendment just re-
emphasizes the requirement)

[F] 903.3.1.4 Freeze protection. Freeze protection systems for automatic fire sprinkler systems
shall be in accordance with the requirements of the applicable referenced NFPA standard and
this section.
903.3.1.4.1 Attics. Only dry pipe, preaction, or listed antifreeze automatic fire sprinkler
systems shall be allowed to protect attic spaces.
Exception: Wet-pipe fire sprinkler systems shall be allowed to protect non-
ventilated attic spaces where:
1. The attic sprinklers are supplied by a separate floor control valve assembly
to allow ease of draining the attic system without impairing sprinklers
throughout the rest of the building, and
2. Adequate heat shall be provided for freeze protection as per the applicable
referenced NFPA standard, and
3. The attic space is a part of the building's thermal, or heat, envelope, such
that insulation is provided at the roof deck, rather than at the ceiling level.
903.3.1.4.2 Heat trace/insulation. Heat trace/insulation shall only be allowed where
approved by the fire code official for small sections of large diameter water-filled pipe.
(Reason:In the last few years, severe winters brought to light several issues with current practices
for sprinklering attics, not the least of which was wet-pipe sprinklers in ventilated attics provided
with space heaters, etc. for freeze protection of such piping. This practice is not acceptable for
the protection of water-filled piping in a ventilated attic space as it does not provide a reliable
means of maintaining the minimum 40 degrees required by NFPA, wastes energy, and presents
Ordinance No.2022-12-Adopting the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code Page 14 of
253608899
a potential ignition source to the attic space. Listed antifreeze is specifically included because
NFPA currently allows such even though there is no currently listed antifreeze at the time of
development of these amendments. The intent of this amendment is to help reduce the large
number of freeze breaks that have occurred in the past with water-filled wet-pipe sprinkler
systems in the future most specifically in attic spaces.)

thereafter, or as otherwise approved by the fire code official.
(Reason:Item 1, 3, and 5 amendments to remove `interior'will help to clarify that such connections
are required for all`exit'stairways, to ensure firefighter capabilities are not diminished in these tall
buildings, simply because the stair is on the exterior of the building. Item 5 reduces the amount
of pressure required to facilitate testing and provides backup protection for fire fighter safety. Item

(Reason: This provision of only having vehicle-mounted fire extinguishers is not at all consistent
with historical practice of requiring extinguishers throughout based on travel distance. Often
times, the vehicle is what has caused the incident and/or may be the source of the incident, so
having the extinguisher vehicle-mounted results in greater potential injury of the user. This
assumes the only occupants in the building are on a vehicle, which again, significantly reduces
access to fire extinguishers throughout the building to other occupants. Future use of the

**Section 907.2.3; change to read as follows:
907.2.3 Group E. A manual fire alarm system that initiates the occupant notification signal
utilizing an emergency voice/alarm communication system meeting the requirements of Section
907.5.2.2 and installed in accordance with Section 907.6 shall be installed in Group E educational
occupancies. When automatic sprinkler systems or smoke detectors are installed, such systems
or detectors shall be connected to the building fire alarm system. An approved smoke detection
system shall be installed in Group E day care occupancies. Unless separated by a minimum of
100' open space, all buildings, whether portable buildings or the main building, will be considered
one building for alarm occupant load consideration and interconnection of alarm systems.
Exceptions:
1. {No change.}
1.1. Residential In-Home day care with not more than 12 children may use
interconnected single station detectors in all habitable rooms. (For care of more
than five children 2 1/2 or less years of age, see Section 907.2.6.) {No change to
remainder of exceptions.)
(Reason: To distinguish educational from day care occupancy minimum protection requirements.
Further, to define threshold at which portable buildings are considered a separate building for the
purposes of alarm systems. Exceptions provide consistency with State law concerning such
occupancies.)

***Section 907.2.10; change to read as follows:
907.2.10 Group S. A manual fire alarm system that activates the occupant notification system in
accordance with Section 907.5 shall be installed in Group S public- and self-storage occupancies
for interior corridors and interior common areas. Visible notification appliances are not required
within storage units.
Exception: {No change.)
(Reason: Because of the potential unknown fire load and hazards in self-storage type facilities,
which could include flammable liquids for instance, as well as other hazardous materials, prompt
evacuation in the event of fire alarm is needed, therefore, notification in the corridors/common
areas is critical to all such occupancies, regardless of height.

**Sectien 907.2.13, Exception 3; change to read as follows.
3. Open air portions of buildings with an occupancy in Group A-5 in accordance with Section
303.1 of the International Building Codehowever, this exception does not apply to accessory
uses including but not limited to sky boxes, restaurants, and similarly enclosed areas.
(Reason: To indicate that enclosed areas within open air seating type occupancies are not
exempted from automatic fire alarm system requirements.)

(Reason I lelps to reduce false ala )
**Section 907.6.1;add Section 907.6.1.1 to read as follows:
907.6.1.1 Wiring Installation. All fire alarm systems shall be installed in such a manner that a
failure of any single initiating device or single open in an initiating circuit conductor will not interfere
with the normal operation of other such devices. All signaling line circuits (SLC) shall be installed
in such a way that a single open will not interfere with the operation of any addressable devices
(Class A). Outgoing and return SLC conductors shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 72
requirements for Class A circuits and shall have a minimum of four feet separation horizontal and
one foot vertical between supply and return circuit conductors. The initiating device circuit (IDC)
from a signaling line circuit interface device may be wired Class B, provided the distance from the
interface device to the initiating device is ten feet or less.
(Reason: To provide uniformity in system specifications and guidance to design engineers.

**Section 907.6.6; add sentence at end of paragraph to read as follows:
See 907.6.3 for the required information transmitted to the supervising station.
(Reason: To assist responding personnel in locating the emergency event for all fire alarm
systems. This was moved from 907.6.5.3 in the 2012 IFC and reworded to match new code
larl ua and sect►ons(lec�a lanr�ae)
(Reason: Deleted Previous code amendmenf8ection 909.22, For removal because it is already
in the code in Sections 909.20.5, 909.20.6, 909.20.6.1, 909.20.6.2, and 909.20.6.3.)
**Section 910.2; change read and change Exception 2 and 3 to read as follows:
910.2 Where required. Smoke and heat vents or a mechanical smoke removal system shall be
installed as required by Sections 910.2.1, 910.2.2, and 910.3.2.
2. Only manual smoke and heat removal shall nat be required in areas of buildings equipped
with early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers. Automatic smoke and heat
removal is prohibited.
3. Only manual smoke and heat removal shall be required in areas of buildings equipped
with control mode special application sprinklers with a response time index of 50(m*S)112
or less that are listed to control a fire in stored commodities with 12 or fewer sprinklers.
Automatic smoke and heat removal is prohibited.
(Reason:Allows the fire department to control the smoke and heat during and after a fire event,
while still prohibiting such systems from being automatically activated, which is a potential
detriment to the particular sprinkler systems indicated.)
Ordinance No.2022-12-Adopting the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code Page 19 of
253608899
"Section 910.2.3; add to read as follows:
910.2.3 Group H. Buildings and portions thereof used as a Group H occupancy as follows:
1. In occupancies classified as Group H-2 or H-3, any of which are more than 15,000 square
feet (1394 m2) in single floor area.
Exception: Buildings of noncombustible construction containing only noncombustible
materials.
2. In areas of buildings in Group H used forstoring Class 2, 3, and 4 liquid and solid oxidizers,
Class 1 and unclassified detonable organic peroxides, Class 3 and 4 unstable (reactive)
materials, or Class 2 or 3 water-reactive materials as required for a high-hazard
commodity classification.
Exception: Buildings of noncombustible construction containing only noncombustible
materials.
(Reason: Maintains a fire protection device utilized in such occupancies where it is sometimes
necessary to allow chemicals to burn out, rather than extinguish. This is based on legacy
language establishing long-standing historical practice.)
"Section 910.4.3.1; change to read as follows:
910.4.3.1 Makeup Air. Makeup air openings shall be provided within 6 feet (1829 mm) of the
floor level. Operation of makeup air openings shall be automatic. The minimum gross area of
makeup air inlets shall be 8 square feet per 1,000 cubic feet per minute (0.74 m2 per 0.4719
m3/s) of smoke exhaust.
(Reason: Makeup air has been required to be automatic for several years now in this region when
mechanical smoke exhaust systems are proposed. This allows such systems to be activated
from the smoke control panel by first responders without having to physically go around the
exterior of the building opening doors manually. Such requires a significant number of first
responders on scene to conduct this operation and significantly delays activation and/or capability
of the smoke exhaust system.)
"Section 912.2;add Section 912.2.3 to read as follows:
912.2.3 Hydrant Distance. An approved fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the fire
department connection as the fire hose lays along an unobstructed path.
(Reason: To accommodate limited hose lengths, improve response times where the FDC is
needed to achieve fire control, and improve ease of locating a fire hydrant in those situations also.
Also, consistent with NFPA 14 criteria.)
'Section 913.2.1;add Section 913.2.1.1 and exception to read as follows:
913.2.1.1 Fire Pump Room Access. When located on the ground level at an exterior wall, the
Ordinance No.2022-12-Adopting the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code Page 20 of
253608899
fire pump room shall be provided with an exterior fire department access door that is not less than
3 ft. in width and 6 ft. — 8 in. in height, regardless of any interior doors that are provided. A key
box shall be provided at this door, as required by IFC Section 506.1.
Exception: When it is necessary to locate the fire pump room on other levels or not at an
exterior wall, the corridor leading to the fire pump room access from the exterior of the building
shall be provided with equivalent fire resistance as that required for the pump room, or as
approved by the fire code official. Access keys shall be provided in the key box as required
by IFC Section 506.1.
(Reason: This requirement allows fire fighters safer access to the fire pump room. The
requirement allows access without being required to enter the building and locate the fire pump
room interior access door during a fire event. The exception recognizes that this will not always
be a feasible design scenario for some buildings, and as such, provides an acceptable alternative
to protect the pathway to the fire pump room.)

Section 1006.2.1 Egress based on occupant load and common path of egress travel
distance.
3. Unoccupied rooftop mechanical rooms and penthouses are not required to comply with the
common path of egress travel distance measurement.
(Reason: Add "rooftop"to Exception No. 3 to clarify that only such mechanical rooms located on
the roof maybe exempted.

**Section 1009.8 Two Way Communication; add the following Exception 7:
[Text Remains]
Exceptions:
7. Buildings regulated under State Law and built in accordance with State registered plans,
including variances or waivers granted by the State, shall be deemed to be in compliance with
the requirements of Section 1009 and Chapter 11.
(Reason: To accommodate buildings regulated under Texas State Law and to be consistent with
amendments in Chapter 11)
**Section 1010.2.5 Bolt Locks; amend exceptions 3 and 4 as follows:
Exceptions:
3. Where a pair of doors serves an occupant load of less than 50 persons in a Group B, F, M or
S occupancy. (remainder unchanged)
4. Where a pair of doors serves a Group A, B, F, M or S occupancy(remainder unchanged)
(Reason: It is common in our region to see the 2nd leaf locked, when that leaf is not part of the
required egress door clear width, such as in a typical Group M. Exception No. 4 was expanded to
Group A due to it being a similar situation for Group A restaurants.)
**Section 1020.2 Construction; add new exception 6 as follows:
6. In unsprinklered group B occupancies, corridor walls and ceilings need not be of fire-resistive
construction within a single tenant space when the space is equipped with approved automatic
Ordinance No.2022-12-Adopting the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code Page 21 of
253608899
smoke-detection within the corridor. The actuation of any detector must activate self-annunciating
alarms audible in all areas within the corridor. Smoke detectors must be connected to an approved
automatic fire alarm system where such system is provided.
(Reason: Similar concept was previously in UBC. This scenario occurs primarily in existing, non-
sprinklered buildings, which under current IBC would be required to have a fire resistance rated
corridor. New exception provides a cost-effective solution for single tenant space in lieu of the
base IBC requirement to retrofit a fire sprinkler system throughout the building.)
**Section 1030.1.1.1 Spaces under grandstands and bleachers; delete this section.
(Reason: Unenforceable.)
"Section 1101.1 Scope; add exception to Section 1101.1 as follows:
Exception: Components of projects regulated by and registered with Architectural Barriers
Division of Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shall be deemed to be in compliance
with the requirements of this chapter.
(Reason: To accommodate buildings regulated under state law. Further clarified in 2018 to mean
components that are specifically addressed by TDLR shall be exempt.)
***Section 1809.5.1 Frost Protection of required exits; delete this section
(Reason: frost protection at exit doors is not needed in our climate zone)

***Section 27 .5; added to read as follows:
Section 2702.5 si Critical Operations Areas( C ): In areas within a facility or site
requiring continuous operation for the purpose of public safety, emergency management, national
security or business continuity, the power systems shall comply with NFPA 70 Article 70 .
(Reason: Identifying these areas of critical operations in the building code ensures designers are
advised of the requirements outlined in the National Electrical Code which defines specific Critical
Operations Power System (COPS) requirements.)
**Section 2901.1; add a sentence to read as follows:
[P] 2901.1 Scope. {existing text to remain} The provisions of this Chapter are meant to work in
coordination with the provisions of Chapter 4 of the International Plumbing Code. Should any
conflicts arise between the two chapters, the Building Official shall determine which provision
applies.

**Add Section 2902.1.4 to read as follows:
2902.1.4 Additional fixtures for food preparation facilities. In addition to the fixtures required
in this Chapter, all food service facilities shall be provided with additional fixtures set out in this
section.
2902.1.4.1 Hand washing lavatory.At least one hand washing lavatory shall be provided for use
by employees that is accessible from food preparation, food dispensing and ware washing areas.
Additional hand washing lavatories may be required based on convenience of use by employees.
2902.1.4.2 Service sink. In new or remodeled food service establishments, at least one service
sink or one floor sink shall be provided so that it is conveniently located for the cleaning of mops
or similar wet floor cleaning tool and for the disposal of mop water and similar liquid waste. The
location of the service sink(s) and/or mop sink(s) shall be approved by the <Jurisdiction's>
health department.
(Reason: Coordinates Health law requirements with code language for consistent regional
practice.)
**Section 3002.1 Hoistway Enclosure Protection required. Add exceptions as follows:
Exceptions:
1. Elevators completely located within atriums shall not require hoistway enclosure
protection.
2. Elevators in open or enclosed parking garages that serve only the parking garage, shall
not require hoistway enclosure protection.
(Reason: Provides specific Code recognition that elevators within atriums and within parking
garages do not require hoistway enclosure protection. Amendment needed since specific Code
language does not currently exist.)
***Section 3005.4 Machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control spaces;
Delete exceptions and add two new exceptions to as follows:
Exceptions:
1. Elevator machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control spaces
completely located within atriums shall not require enclosure protection.
2. Elevator machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control spaces in open
or enclosed parking garages that serve only the parking garage, shall not require
enclosure protection.
Ordinance No.2022-12-Adopting the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code Page 23 of
253608899
(Reason: This amendment eliminates the Exceptions to Section 3005.4 such that passive
enclosures for these areas are to be provided and maintained. The fire rating of these enclosures
is permitted to be omitted by the above added exceptions where allowed by other provisions of
the code such as in atriums and parking structures. See companion change to eliminate fire
sprinklers to eliminate the need for shunt trip system.)
'Section 3005.5: Add a new subsection to Section 3005.5.1 as follows:
3005.5.1 Fire Protection in Machine rooms, control rooms, machinery spaces and control
spaces.
3005.5.1.1 Automatic sprinkler system. The building shall be equipped throughout with an
automatic sprinkler system in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1, except as otherwise permitted
by Section 903.3.1.1.1 and as prohibited by Section 3005.5.1.1.1.
3005.5.1.1.1 Prohibited locations. Automatic sprinklers shall not be installed in machine rooms,
elevator machinery spaces, control rooms, control spaces and elevator hoistways.
3005.5.1.1.2 Sprinkler system monitoring. The sprinkler system shall have a sprinkler control
valve supervisory switch and water-flow initiating device provided for each floor that is monitored
by the building's fire alarm system.
3005.5.1.2 Water protection. An approved method to prevent water from infiltrating into the
hoistway enclosure from the operation of the automatic sprinkler system outside the elevator
lobby shall be provided.
3006.5.1.3 Omission of Shunt trip. Means for elevator shutdown in accordance with Section
3005.5 shall not be installed.
(Reason: Firefighter and public safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip requirement of
the International Building Code Section 3005.5 for the purpose of elevator passenger and
firefighter safety. The new section above is intended to be identical to Sections 3007.2, 3007.3,
and 3007.4 for Fire Service Access Elevators and Sections 3008.2, 3008.3 and 3008.4 for
Occupant Evacuation Elevators.)
"Section 3005.8; add Section 3005.8 as follows:
3005.8 Storage. Storage shall not be allowed within the elevator machine room, control room,
machinery spaces and or control spaces. Provide approved signage at each entry to the above
listed locations stating: "No Storage Allowed.
(Reason: Reinforces the need to maintain space clean and free of combustibles. See companion
change to eliminate fire sprinklers therein, Section 3005.5.1.)
Ordinance No.2022-12-Adopting the 2021 Edition of the International Building Code Page 24 of
253608899
Option B
Section 3006.2, Hoistway opening protection required; Devise text as follows:
5.The building is a high rise and the elevator hoistway is more than 55 feet(16 76 mrn in height.
The height of the hoistway shall be measured from the lowest floor at or above grade to the
highest floors served by the hoistway."
(Reason:2018 IBC text does not address hoistways that are greater than 75'-0"in height that are
both below grade and above grade but not located above the high-rise classification nor does the
iBC address hoistways wholly located above grade such as those that serve sky lobbies".)
"Section 3007.3 and Section 3008.3: Revise text by deleting "enclosed" as follows:
3007.3 Water Protection.Water from the operation of an automatic sprinkler system outside the
lobby shall be prevent from infiltrating into the hoistway enclosure in accordance with an approved
method.
3008.3 Water Protection.Water from the operation of an automatic sprinkler system outside the
lobby shall be prevent from infiltrating into the hoistway enclosure in accordance with an approved
method.
(Reason: The lobbies for FSAE and or OEE elevators may be open (i.e., at ground level), or may
not require a lobby enclosure on those upper floors with secondary cab entry doors opening into
a nonrequired FSAE or OEE lobby. Regardless of whether or not the lobby is enclosed, the
objective is to preclude fire sprinkler water from entering into the hoistway serving FSAE and OEE
elevators. The deletion of"enclosed"clarifies the original intent of this provision and is consistent
with ICC interpretations.)
