Notes:

There is no state building code other than a minimum code adopted by the Arizona Department of Health Services for licensed health care facilities. Major jurisdictions in and around Phoenix have adopted the 2018 Editions of the codes. (https://www.phoenix.gov/pdd/devcode/buildingcode) Phoenix adopted the 2018 editions.

Since codes are adopted by jurisdiction and they are still on the 2012, 2015, or 2018 I-Codes, adoption of IRC Section R302.13 is unknown. Phoenix did not include this provision in the update of their 2012 I-Code adoption.
