Question

Is it the intent for exaggerated architectural projections from the exterior wall at the elevation of the roof to be constructed as required for eaves?

Answer Published 12/05/2022 at 6:56 AM

The answer would be a qualified yes due to any applicable fire resistance requirements.
The code is specific as to what type of projection and refers to various code sections for compliance. The intent of this section is for projections and clearances/distances from the fire separation line.

Section 1406 continues with additional requirements of combustibles on Exterior Walls
