| 03/09/2026 | Fire New Construction Standard | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | -Change of use shall comply with Chapter 10 of the IEBC. This would require meeting the fire protection requirements of the current IFC. Specifically 907.2.9 for R2 fire alarms. The existing fire alarm will most probably not be code compliant for an R2 occupancy if a fire alarm is required. A fire alarm that complies with this section (R2 907.2.9) will be required unless you meet the exceptions. It appears you might meet exception #3 for these three buildings. Please explain. john.vincent@tucsonaz.gov 5203495581 |
