Kim,
I think that you are mixing Building Codes with local codes for building permits. Building Codes are there to guarantee that the building has a minimum standard, is safe, minimum life span, energy efficient, sound insulated and conflict solving. The local building rules are there for esthetic demands and can many times be wacky and how the architects apply them hard to understand.
