I'm researching whether or not is is allowable to have the garage overhead door as the only door in the single car garage of a 3 unit R-2 structure. It seems OK but I'd love to locate some text to confirm that. Does anyone know of a requirement that I am missing? Any help is much appreciated.
 
Further digging on my part seems to indicate IBC 1008.1.2 exception 1 allows this. (The occupancy is less than 10)
 
Now that you have helped yourself..........

Welcome to the forum! Jump on in, the water's fine.....
 
First of all

WELCOME TO THE BOARD

I believe you are correct in the application of IBC 1008.1.2 exception 1

A side hinged pivot door is not required to exit a private garage of less than 10 OL

Is a side hinged door required for accessibility?

Just a thought
