Need a UL listing for an exterior 1 hour stucco wall

I called out UL356 for an exterior 1 hour wall and plan check comment states this is for an interior wall only...the only difference I can see is my assembly specs 7/8" stucco vs. 3/4" for the UL356. It does not appear UL has an exterior 1 hour stucco wall assembly. I also looked at table 721.1 in CBC and there is nothing in their assemblies either for 2x4 wood studs @ 16" o.c. with stucco exterior and 5/8" type X interior. What am I missing?...It's a very common wall scenario less than 5' from property line and I can't find a tested assembly!
 
How about Table 721.1 (2) item 15 - 1.3? AWC may still provide details using FRTW sheathing.
There's also UL V322 with 1\2 inch Type X (exterior) gypsum. For addition details search productspec.ul.com
 
UL does not have numbers based on just exterior plaster
They do have numbers for plaster over gyp sheathing.

you need to remember UL is a testing lab for manufacturers products
contact the Exterior Plaster Manufacture for the testing data on their product.

Thank you....IBC has it in their table as PCinspector1 noted. Odd why it's not in CBC as it is a very common wall assembly....hopefully plan checker will accept it.
