IBC 503.1.2
503.1.2 Buildings on same lot. Two or more buildings on
the same lot shall be regulated as separate buildings or shall
be considered as portions of one building if the building
height of each building and the aggregate building area of
the buildings are within the limitations of Table 503 as modified
by Sections 504 and 506. The provisions of this code
applicable to the aggregate building shall be applicable to
each building.
This allows separate buildings to be considered as a single building.
Question: if I have say, a dozen "B" occupancies on the same property and am putting a new building, also a "B" in close proximity to two of the existing structures (these are all 800-1500 sq ft), can I group 2 or 3 of them together and consider it a "single" structure under the 503.1.2 provisions, then consider all the others separate, or do I need to consider all the buildings on the property if I am going to use this???
I have my idea but wanted to get feedback and opinions.
