1999 Oakland Live/Work Building Code How to Use This Section |
|
|
How to Use This Section |
|
Directions to the Building Code on the City of Oakland website. |
Listed below are each of the sections of the Oakland Building Code that pertain specifically to live/work, known as Joint Living and Work Quarters (JLWQ). The section number and name are the link, in blue, and in italics are Plain English topics covered by that particular section. |
|
Note: Section 325B.1-Additional Information on Plans and Specifications is extensive, and is therefore covered in detail on this website in a separate area called Required Items. The remainder of that section, 325B.2-325B.5 covering Notices of Limitation, is on the page in the list below. The 1999 Oakland Building Code, while largely unchanged from the
previous version, does have several major changes. One of these
is the format of the code itself. Formerly divided into four separate
sections, now all of the code pertaining to Joint Living and Work
Quarters, including Group R, Division 7 and 8 and Group F, Division
7 and 8 is in one section, called Division I. The section called Division II contains
the code applicable to the new occupancy, Group R, Division 9
or Urban Core Residential Conversions and, although similar and
therefore somewhat redundant, this section is presented in its
entirety here.
