Very interested in this project. As we change building code to allow safer and more affordable family homes in more urban areas, we are finding that the old zoning does not make as much sense. #zoning #buildingcode #design #singlestair #housing https://bsky.app/profile/lanefab.com/post/3m7jcaexii22y

TAG opts for IRC's more conservative fire-separation table and adopts detailed egress protections for single-exit multiplexes
The TAG debated fire-separation distances and means-of-egress protections for sprinklered multiplex housing and decided to reference the IRC Table R302.1(1) (more conservative IRC table) for fire-separation distances while approving detailed guidance on corridors, stairs, door ratings and travel distances for single-exit designs.

Two stairways are required in L.A. apartments. What does that have to do with the housing crisis?
The L.A. City Council is on the brink of changing its building code so that buildings of up to six stories tall could have a single-stairway exit. Fire officials and others say a key safety measure would be lost.
