Hey everyone. I was gone for a few weeks, I will have to scan the boards to see what I missed. Hope all is well.
THE ICC has a proposed committee interpretation #23-12 (You can't access it directly from the ICC site unless you are a member.) But I will post it here.
They are taking public comment until Thursday. I just wanted to see what everyone's opinion on this was.
ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. A structure not greater than 3,000 square feet (279 m2) in floor area, and not over two stories in height, the use of which is customarily accessory to and incidental to that of the dwelling(s) and which is located on the same lot.
QUESTION: Is the floor area limitation of 3,000 square feet the combined floor area of all stories above grade plane plus any basement floor area?
ANSWER: (Proposed by committed): No. The floor area limitaiton is per story. The floor area is not the combined floor area of all the stories, it is the area pler story. Each story, including the basemetn, of the accessory structure could be 3,000 square feet.
This is their draft proposal. We (our jurisdiction) has already weighed in on this. This interpreation would allow creation of up to 9000 square foot garages/accessory structures.
Curious what others think about this. If you are an ICC member, there is still time to provide feedback.
Thanks
