IBC 903.2.9.....?

[Francis Vineyard]

. . . .You get some good stuff FV, do you find it all on ICC's site? I never found much info there since "we" left...

Absolutely not, I find better results with fewer key words and don't look beyond the second (2nd) webpage for answers. For this search "change IFC Interpretation 20-14"

This is interesting when I opened the above interpretation a different conclusion was reached provided below (note during the code change proposal the work "primary" was strickened.

CODE:
2012 International Building Code

QUESTION 2:
At a 2012 IBC update class, the instructor stated, paraphrasing, “Due to mini storages being subject to the storing of upholstered furniture and mattresses, 903.2.9 (5) is applicable”. While not every unit will be used to store upholstered furniture or mattresses, the plan check dilemma is determining which units will store what.

Is IFC/IBC 903.2.9 (5) always applicable to S-1 mini storages built under the current

code?

ANSWER 2:
No. IFC 903.2.9(5) applies only where the unit will be used primarily for storage of mattresses or upholstered furniture. If any of the conditions listed in items 1-5 exists, then IFC 903.2.9 applies.
