Question

an architect proposes balconies extending into required side setbacks. what code provision applies? setbacks apply only to front and rear yards. projections such as balconies may extend into setbacks by a limited depth as allowed by nbcp. balconies are exempt if on floors above 6.00 meters. overhangs are permitted if made of lightweight materials.

Explanation:

Building codes often have regulations about projections into set - backs. The most accurate and relevant statement among the options is that balconies can extend into setbacks to a limited depth as per NBCP (National Building Code of the Philippines or similar code depending on the context). The other options are either incorrect (setbacks don't only apply to front and rear yards), too restrictive (balconies are not exempt just because they are above 6.00 meters), or not directly related to the main issue of balconies in setbacks (overhangs made of lightweight materials).

Answer:

Projections such as balconies may extend into setbacks by a limited depth as allowed by NBCP.
