the following sections, other requirements of this code shall
apply.
311.9.2 Definitions.
311.9 .2.1 General. For the purpose of this section, certain terms
are defined as follows:
MECHANICAL-ACCESS OPEN PARKING GARAGES
are open parking garages employing parking machines, lifts, ele-
vators or other mechanical devices for vehicles moving from and
to street level and in that public occupancy is prohibited above the
street level.
OPEN PARKING GARAGE is a structure of Type I or II
construction with the openings as described in Section 311.9.2.2
on two or more sides and that is used exclusively for the parking or
storage of private or pleasure-type motor vehicles.
EXCEPTION: The grade-level tier may contain an office, and
waiting and toilet rooms having a total area of not more than 1,000
square feet (93 m2). Such area need not be separated from the open
parking garage.
RAMP-ACCESS OPEN PARK.ING GARAGES are open
parking garages employing a series of continuously rising floors
or a series of interconnecting ramps between floors permitting the
movement of vehicles under their own power from and to the
street level.
311.9.2.2 Openings. For natural ventilation purposes, the exte-
rior side of the structure shall have uniformly distributed open-
ings on two or more sides. The area of such openings in exterior
walls on a tier must be at least 20 percent of the total perimeter
wall area of each tier. The aggregate length of the openings con-
sidered to be providing natural ventilation shall constitute a mini-
mum of 40 percent of the perimeter of the tier. Interior wall lines
1-40
2001 CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODE
and column lines shall be at least 20 percent open with uniformly
distributed openings.
311.9.3 Construction. Construction shall be of noncombus-
tible. materials. Open parking garages shall meet the design
reqmrements of Chapter 16. For vehicle barriers, see Section
311.2.3.5.
311.9.4 Area and height. Area and height of open parking
?arages shall be limited as set forth in Table 3-H, except for
mcreases allowed by Section 311.9.5.
In structures having a spiral or sloping floor, the horizontal pro-
jection of the structure at any cross section shall not exceed the
allowable area per parking tier. In the case of a structure having a
continuous spiral floor, each 9 feet 6 inches (2896 mm) of height,
or portion thereof, shall be considered a tier.
The clear height of a parking tier shall not be less than 7 feet
(2134 mm), except that a lower clear height may be permitted in
mechanical-access open parking garages when approved by the
building official.
311.9.5 Area and height increases. The area and height of
structures with cross ventilation throughout may be increased in
accordance with provisions of this section. Structures with sides
open on three fourths of the building perimeter may be increased
by 25 percent in area and one tier in height. Structures with sides
open around the entire building perimeter may be increased 50
percent in area and one tier in height. For a side to be considered
open under the above provisions, the total area of openings along
the side shall not be less than 50 percent of the interior area of the
side at each tier, and such openings shall be equal! y distributed
along the length of the tier.
Open parking garages constructed to heights less than the max -
imums established by Table 3-H may have individual tier areas
exceeding those otherwise permitted, provided the gross tier area
of the structure does not exceed that permitted for the higher
structure. At least three sides of each such larger tier shall have
continuous horizontal openings not less than 30 inches (762 mm)
in clear height extending for at least 80 percent of the length of the
sides, and no part of such larger tier shall be more than 200 feet
(60 960 mm) horizontally from such an opening. In addition, each
such opening shall face a street or yard accessible to a street with a
width of at least 30 feet (9144 mm) for the full length of the open-
ing, and standpipes shall be provided in each such tier.
Structures of Type II-F.R., Type II One-hour or Type II-N
construction, with all sides open, may be unlimited in area when
the height does not exceed 75 feet (22 860 mm). For a side to be
considered open, the total area of openings along the side shall not
be less than 50 percent of the interior area of the side at each tier,
and such openings shall be equally distributed along the length of
the tier. All portions of tiers shall be within 200 feet (60 960 mm)
horizontally from such openings.
311.9.6 Location on property. Exterior walls and openings in
exterior walls shall comply with Table 5-A. The distance from an
adjacent property line shall be determined in accordance with
Section 503.
311.9.7 Stairs and means of egress. Where persons other than I
parking attendants are permitted, the means of egress shall meet
the requirements of Chapter 10, based on an occupant load of200
square feet (18.6 m2) per occupant. Where no persons other than
parking attendants are permitted, there shall not be less than two
3-foot-wide (914 mm) stairs. Lifts may be installed for use of
employees only, provided they are completely enclosed by non-
combustible materials.
311.9.8 Standpipes. Standpipes shall be installed when
required by the provisions of Chapter 9.

B
B GARAGE, PUBLIC, is any garage other than a private garage.
GAS CABINET is a fully enclosed, noncombustible enclosure
used to provide an isolated environment for compressed gas cylin-
ders in storage or use. Doors and access ports for exchanging cyl-
inders and accessing pressure-regulating controls are allowed to
be included.
GAS ROOM is a separately ventilated, fully enclosed room in
which only compressed gases and associated equipment and sup-
plies are stored or used.
GENERAL-PURPOSE WAREHOUSE is a detached build-
ing or a separate portion of a building used for storage or ware-
housing operations involving mixed commodities.
8 GRANDSTANDS are tiered or stepped seating facilities I wherein an area of more than 3 square feet (0.28 m2) is assigned
B for each person when computing the occupant load.
GROUND PIECE is a pyrotechnic device that functions on the
ground. Ground pieces include fountains, roman candles, wheels
and set pieces.
~ GUEST is any person hiring or occupying a room for living or
B sleeping purposes.
GUNPOWDER is any of various powders used in fireanns and
small arms ammunition as propelling charges.
SECTION 209 -H
HANDLING is the deliberate movement of material by any
means to a point of storage or use.
HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL REACTION is a reaction
which generates pressure or byproducts which could cause injury,
illness or hann to humans, domestic animals, livestock or wildlife.
HAZARDOUS FIRE AREA is land which is covered with
grass, grain brush or forest, whether privately or publicly owned,
which is so situated or is of such inaccessible location that a fire
originating upon such land would present an abnormally difficult
job of suppression or would result in great and unusual damage
through fire or resulting erosion. Such areas are designated by the
chief on a map maintained in the office of the chief.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS are those chemicals or sub-
stances which are physical hazards or health hazards as defined
and classified in Article 80 whether the materials are in usable or
waste condition.
HAZARDOUS PRODUCTION MATERIAL (HPM) is a
solid, liquid or gas associated with semiconductor manufacturing
that has a degree-of-hazard rating in health, flammability or reac-
tivity of Class 3 or 4 as ranked by UFC Standard 79-3 and which is
used directly in research, laboratory or production processes
which have as their end product materials which are not hazard-
ous. I 1-18
2001 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE
HAZARDOUS WATERSHED FIRE AREA is a location
within 500 feet (152.4 m) of a forest or brush-, grass-or grain-cov-
ered land, exclusive of small individual lots or parcels of land lo-
cated outside of a brush-, forest-or grass-covered area.
HEALTH HAZARD is a classification of a chemical for which
there is statistically significant evidence based on at least one
study conducted in accordance with established scientific prin-
ciples that acute or chronic health effects could occur in exposed
persons. Health hazards include chemicals which are carcinogens,
toxic or highly toxic materials, reproductive toxins, irritants, cor-
rosives, sensitizers, hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, neurotoxins,
agents which act on the hematopoietic system, and agents which
damage the lungs, skin, eyes or mucous membranes.
HEATING AND COOKING APPLIANCE is an electric, gas
or oil-fired appliance not intended for central heating.
HELIPORT is an area of land or water or a structure surface
which is used, or intended for use, for the landing and take-off of
helicopters, and any appurtenant areas which are used, or intended
for use, for heliport buildings and other heliport facilities.
HELISTOP is the same as a heliport, except that no refueling,
maintenance, repairs or storage of helicopters is permitted.
HIGH EXPLOSIVE is explosive material, such as dynamite,
which can be caused to detonate by means of a No. 8 test blasting
cap when unconfined.
HIGHLY TOXIC MATERIAL is a material which produces a
lethal dose or lethal concentration which falls within any of the
following categories:
1. A chemical that has a median lethal dose (LDso) of 50 milli-
grams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered
orally to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300 grams each.
2. A chemical that has a median lethal dose (LD50) of 200 mil-
ligrams or less per kilogram of body weight when administered by
continuous contact for 24 hours, or Jess if death occurs within 24
hours, with the bare skin of albino rabbits weighing between 2 and
3 kilograms each.
3. A chemical that has a median lethal concentration (LCso) in
air of 200 parts per million by volume or less of gas or vapor, or 2
milligrams per liter or less of mist, fume or dust, when adminis-
tered by continuous inhalation for one hour, or less if death occurs
within one hour, to albino rats weighing between 200 and 300
grams each.
Mixtures of these materials with ordinary materials, such as wa-
ter, might not warrant classification as highly toxic. While this
system is basically simple in application, any hazard evaluation
which is required for the precise categorization of this type of ma-
terial shall be performed by experienced, technically competent
persons.
HIGHLY VOLATILE LIQUID is a liquid with a boiling point
of less than 68°F (20°C).
IDGH-PILED COMBUSTIBLE STORAGE is storage of
combustible materials in closely packed piles or combustible ma-
terials on pallets, in racks or on shelves where the top of storage is
greater than 12 feet (3658 mm) in height. When required by the
chief, high-piled combustible storage also includes certain high-
hazard commodities, such as rubber tires, Group A plastics, flam-
mable liquids, idle pallets and similar commodities, where the top
of storage is greater than 6 feet (1829 mm) in height.
IDGHWAY is a public street or public road.
HOGGED MATERIAL is a mixture of bark, chips, dust or
other pieces of natural wood by-products.
HORIZONTAL EXIT is a wall which completely divides a
floor of a building into two or more separate exit-access areas to
