That's good info Steve. I'll have to check the actual joint myself today and
see if it's simply an expansion joint as indicated on the plans or something
bigger.
Thanks all, this is why I love this forum and you people!

Night and day. A seismic separation is two completely independent
structural assemblies built to within 4-8" of each other. The gap
between them is masked at the walls/floors/ceilings but it's like two
completely separate buildings. An expansion joint is just a place in a
sub-assembly, such as a concrete slab or exterior stucco soffit, were a
gap is left to allow expansion and contraction without cracking.
