This morning Kevin Reinertson of the State Fire Marshall’s office stopped me in the hall to tell me that not only would he be supporting SVABO’s garage proposals (remove 1,000 sf limit for R3 (houses) for U classified garages and remove special ventilation requirements for private garages (officially classifieds “public” where they are a part of an R3(house) occupancy, but that he was also making sure these proposals got into the 2016 CBC so we would not have to deal with the 1,000 sf limit for a garage attached to a house in California!
