14.5.3 Once the designated site is approved, it shall not be changed without the approval of the authority having jurisdiction.
14.5.4 More than one locker shall be permitted on a designated site, provided that the separation distance between individual lockers is maintained in accordance with Table 14.5.2.

FI SI Units, 1 ft =0.3m; 1 ft2 = 0.9m2 Note: If the locker is provided with a fire resistance rating of not less than 4 hours and deflagration venting is not required in accordance with Section 9.15, all distances required by Table 14.5.2 are permitted to be waived.
- a. Site area limits are intended to differentiate the relative size and thus the number of lockers that are permitted in one designated site.
- b. Distances apply to properties that have protection for exposures, as defined in 3.3.42 of NFPA 30. If there are exposures and such protection for exposures does not exist, the distances shall be doubled.
- c. When the exposed building has an exterior wall facing the designated site that has a fire resistance rating of at least 2 hours and has no openings to above grade areas within 10 ft (3 m) horizontally and no openings to below grade areas within 50 ft (15 m) horizontally of the designated area, the distances can be reduced to half of those shown in the table, except they should never be less than 5 ft (1.5 m).
- d. When a single locker has a gross single story floor area that will require a site area limit of greater than 1500 ft2 (140 m2) or when multiple units exceed the area limit of 1500 ft2 (140 m2), the authority having jurisdiction shall be consulted for approval of distances.
