Thanks to Nick, Chuck, Bill, Bob Morrison, and Dennis whose posts here
prodded me to continue my search. I'm going with the Gypsum Association
Fire Resistance Design Manual and/or the APA's both of which reference the
Ul design numbers. I hope this is going to satisfy the city. We manage to
do a room addition every four or five years.

Consider using NUDURA Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) for you addition walls.
You can find fire rating information about this walls at www.nudura.com
(3hrs).
They have CAD drawing available also.
