The applicant sought a resolution from the Building Code Commission regarding the sufficiency of compliance for a proposed place of worship using privies and hand sanitizing stations instead of standard plumbing.

The application was based on a preliminary design review rather than a complete building permit application.

The Commission determined that under section 24(1) of the Building Code Act, 1992, it lacked jurisdiction to hear the matter because the application was not made by an applicant for a permit, and it is not the Commission's mandate to provide advice or technical interpretations for preliminary designs.
