Foundation/Crawl Space Vent Clearance

I’m looking for a code or standard for foundation/crawl space vent to grade clearance. Appreciate any help.

I do not think crawl spaces should be vented .

Don’t think there is one. Common sense applies though. If too close, add a vent/window well.

I don’t think the general IRC has one. My state(north carolina 2012) amended IRC code has one though. Not sure how much this will help you.
