Does the yard associated with an R-3 occupancy require a means of egress?
It looks to me like it does not: CBC 1004.8
But my San Francisco plan checker tells me that the exception for R-3 occupancies in in section 1004.8, "...only allows a reduction of the occupant load of the rear yard, it does not eliminate the rear yard from having an exit requirement"
Does that sound right? If so, where is the requirement for a mean of egress stated?
BTW - I checked the San Francisco amendments, and there are none for 1004.8
thanks
