In the city of Los Angeles, are the exterior stairs codes different than interior stairs?
The architect is saying that the stair treads need to be 12" from nose to nose.
My understanding is that it can be 10" nose to nose. This means measured from riser to nose it's 11"
Also, she is saying that there needs to be a clearance of 3' from the bottom edge of the stairs to the garage door opening.
We never use the garage for cars and I would prefer to have the edge of the stairs be as close to the garage door as much as possible. Is this allowed here in the city of Los Angeles? I cant seem to find anything in the codes that wont allow me to do this.
