The AT/FP criteria require a minimum standoff distance from property lines to
inhabited structures, and to primary gathering structures. Uncontrolled parking and
roadways also require minimum setbacks from primary gathering areas, and from
inhabited structures or areas.
3-14.4
If the minimum standoff distances for the entire building or facility cannot be
provided due to site constraints, the uninhabited spaces listed above may be located
within the standoff distance. The inhabited and primary gathering spaces must be kept
outside the standoff; if this is not possible, the building must be designed to withstand a
blast in accordance with the criteria.
