[F] 903.1.1 Alternative protection. Alternative automatic fire -extinguishing systems complying
with Section 904 shall be permitted in lieu of addition to automatic sprinkler protection where
recognized by the applicable standard and, or as approved by the fire code official.
(Reason: Such alternative systems do not provide the reliability of automatic sprinkler protection
in general. An applicant could pursue an Alternate Method request to help mitigate the
reliability issues with these alternative systems with the fire code official if so desired, or there
may be circumstances in which the fire code official is acceptable to allowing an alternate
system in lieu of sprinklers, such as kitchen hoods or paint booths. This also meets with local
practices in the region.)

requirements under any circumstances. Storage shall not be allowed within the elevator machine
room. Signage shall be provided at the entry doors to the elevator machine room indicating
"ELEVATOR MACHINERY — NO STORAGE ALLOWED."
(Reason: Firefighter and public safety. This amendment eliminates the shunt trip requirement of
the International Building Code Section 3006.5 for the purpose of elevator passenger and
firefighter safety. This amendment is contingent on the Building Code amendment eliminating
the Exceptions to Section 3006.4, such that passive fire barriers for these areas are maintained.
This also meets with local practices in the region.)

See. 18-35. —Amendments to the 2012 International Residential Code.
The following sections, paragraphs, and sentences of the 2012 International Residential Code are
hereby amended as follows: Standard type is text from the IRC. Underlined type is text inserted.
Lined through type is deleted text from IRC. A double asterisk at the beginning of a section
identifies an amendment carried over from the 2009 edition of the code and a triple asterisk
identifies a new or revised amendment with the 2012 code.
Note: Historically NCTCOG has limited Chapter 1 amendments in order to allow each city to
insert their local policies and procedures. We now have suggested certain items to be brought to
the attention of cities considering adoption of the code that may be of concern to several
Ordinance 711
Page 15 of 47
jurisdictions. It is still intended to be discretionary to each city to determine which Chapter 1
amendments to include.
The energy provisions in Chapter 11 of the International Residential Code (IRC) now mirror the
requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). As such, there is no
difference between Chapter 11 of the 2012 IRC and the 2012 IECC. Reference the 2012 IECC
for NCTCOG recommended amendments to that code.
"Section R102.4; change to read as follows:
R102.4 Referenced codes and standards. The codes, when specifically adopted, and standards
referenced in this code shall be considered part of the requirements of this code to the prescribed
extent of each such reference and as further regulated in Sections R102.4.1 and R102.4.2.
Whenever amendments have been adopted to the referenced codes and standards, each reference
to said code and standard shall be considered to reference the amendments as well. Any
reference made to NFPA 70 or the Electrical Code shall mean the Electrical Code as adopted.
"Section R202; change definition of "Townhouse" to read as follows:
TOWNHOUSE. A single-family dwelling unit constructed in a group of three or more attached
units separated by property lines in which each unit extends from foundation to roof and with a
