This is from Ontario Building Code Division B:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.35.2.1. Carport Considered to be Garage
(1) Where a roofed enclosure used for the storage or parking of motor vehicles has more than 60 percent of the total perimeter enclosed by walls, doors or windows, the enclosure shall be considered a garage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When a carport does not meet this requirement and is not considered to be a garage, is the carport required to meet limiting distance for glazed openings facing the property line? (a carport with all sides open is proposed to be built close to one neighboring property line with small limiting distance, like 1.2 m. So the question is actually: is this carport allowed to be built with the side facing the neighbor open according to building code? assume municipal zoning is allowed.)
