Question That
REGISTERED
Have a situation where building (cmu on slab with undetermined type of siding, metal roof etc) and the building is less than 5' from property line as measured perpendicular to the building to the line. Building is 45 degree angle to the line so not sure how that factors in but the closest point is as stated above.
It's my understanding that I need to measure to a "lot line" and not sure of the distinction between lot line and property line for code purposes.
Note that this particular property line does not have any adjacent buildings. Another corner of the building is 30' from an adjacent building that sits directly on the property line.
My understanding would be that for type IIB assembly occupancy that this wall would need to be 1 hour rated and rated for both interior and exterior exposure.
Shouldn't be a problem because cmu but I don't understand how the exterior finishes come into play. Brick to water table height then siding above.
Does the siding become a factor or is it just the structural portion of the wall?
Anything else I need to consider?
