The tabulated rafter spans assume that ceiling joists are located at the bottom of the attic space or that some other method of resisting the outward push of the rafters on the bearing walls, such as rafter ti es, is provided at that location. Where ceiling joists or rafter ties are located higher in the attic space, the rafter spans shall be multiplied by the following factors: H c / H R Rafter Span Adjustment Factor 1/3 0.67 1/4 0.76 1/5 0.83 1/6 0.90 1/7.5 or less 1.00 where: H c = Height of ceiling joists or rafter ties measured vertically above the top of the rafter support walls. H R = Height of roof ridge measured vertically above the top of the rafter support walls. b. Span exceeds 26 feet in length.

An alteration consisting of a change in use, occupancy or how such space is used in a building, or portion thereof, that results in a more restrictive flood design class per ASCE 24; and 10.1.8. Any condition not addressed in Items 10.1.1 through 10.1.7 as determined by the commissioner. 10.2. Work that does not increase the degree of noncompliance. The following work to pre - FIRM construction , other than substantial improvements, shall not be deemed as an increase in the degree of noncompliance: 10.2.1. Plumbing fixtures : 10.2.1.1. The in - kind replacement of plumbing fixtures below the design flood elevation; and 10.2.1.2.
