In Plain Language

The Code's usual occupant-load-based requirements don't apply to self-service storage buildings, reflecting their very low and irregular occupancy compared to typical industrial space.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
