Which description best identifies class 2 buildings?

Which description best identifies class 2 buildings?

• A. Class 2 buildings are not for housing and are shown by an open outline or a single hatch with diagonal hatch
• B. Class 2 buildings are housing structures shown with solid crosshatch
• C. Class 2 buildings are landmark buildings
• D. Class 2 buildings are major highways

Answer: (A)

In diagrams that classify building types by occupancy, how a building is drawn signals its use. Class 2 buildings are non-residential, so they’re represented with an open outline or a single diagonal hatch. This keeps the symbol simple and distinct from housing, which is usually shown with a solid crosshatch to indicate living spaces. The other descriptions describe things (like landmark status or highways) that aren’t about occupancy classifications, so they don’t match how Class 2 buildings are identified.
