§ 5C-2-1 H AWAI‘I C OUNTY C ODE <br />(12) Subsection 1006.2, “Snow and wind loads” of the International Existing <br />Building Code is amended to read as follows: <br />“1006.2 Snow and wind loads. Where a change of occupancy results <br />in a structure being assigned to a higher risk category or where the <br />change is from a Group S or Group U occupancy to any occupancy <br />other than Group S or Group U, the structure shall satisfy the <br />requirements of Sections 1608 and 1609 of the Building Code, Chapter <br />5A, for the new risk category. <br />Exceptions: <br />1. Where the area of the new occupancy is less than 10 percent <br />of the building area, the cumulative effect of occupancy <br />changes over time shall be considered. <br />2. Where the change is from a Group S or Group U occupancy, <br />use of 75% of snow and wind forces shall be permitted.” <br />(13) Subsection 1006.3, “Seismic loads” of the International Existing Building Code <br />is amended to read as follows: <br />“1006.3 Seismic loads. Where a change of occupancy results in a <br />building being assigned to a higher risk category or where the change <br />is from a Group S or Group U occupancy to any occupancy other than <br />Group S or Group U, the building shall satisfy the requirements of <br />Section 1613 of the Building Code, Chapter 5A, for the new risk <br />category using full seismic forces. <br />Exceptions: <br />1. Where a change of use results in a building being reclassified <br />from Risk Category I or II to Risk Category III and the <br />seismic coefficient, SDS, is less than 0.33. <br />2. Where the area of the new occupancy is less than 10 percent <br />of the building area and the new occupancy is not assigned to <br />Risk Category IV. The cumulative effect of occupancy changes <br />over time shall be considered. <br />3. Unreinforced masonry bearing wall buildings assigned to <br />Risk Category III and to Seismic Design Category A or B <br />shall be permitted to use Appendix Chapter A1 of this code. <br />4. Where the change is from a Group S or Group U occupancy, <br />use of reduced seismic forces shall be permitted.” <br />(2021, ord 21-61, sec 2.) 5C-2-1 <br /> <br />SUPP. 11 (1-2022) <br /> <br />5C-10 <br /> <br />
