SPD Program Question: Bldg separation

Postby Archiapolis » Sat Oct 28, 2017 10:28 am

At the beginning of the program, it lists a minimum of 210' of separation between buildings. This appears to be the sketch circle drawn in the NCARB passing solution but at the bottom of the program it says "Buildings must be separated by a minimum of 20' ." Can anyone provide some clarity here? This is just the kind of ambiguity that can freeze a test-taker. :shock:

In 2013 NCARB updated the SD program. They added the 210' separation requirement, but were too lazy/sloppy to take out the 20' requirement. In any such situation, the most restrictive requirement wins.
