Appeal Information Sheet
Appeal item 1
| Code Section | R302.1 Exterior Walls |
|---|---|
| Requires | R302.1 requires a 3' fire separation distance from adjacent property lines. |
| Code Modification or Alternate Requested | We're proposing a conversion of the existing mixed-use structure to a single-family residence under ORSC. (The current permit you may see on file with the city will be cancelled). Our request is to apply a 6' no-build easement to the property to the north (under common ownership) to avoid any required fire separation or fire rating on the northern-facade of the structure. |
| Proposed Design | 6' no-build easement on northern neighboring property under common ownership (this can be increased up to 9' if necessary. |
| Reason for alternative | Existing construction is already adjacent to property line and the required continuity of fire-ratings at the roof/ceiling are cost-prohibitive compared to this solution. If approved, we will work with the LS team to create the required no-build easement and have it recorded. |
Appeal Decision
Omission of fire rated construction within three feet of the property line with no build easement: Hold for additional information.
