Nope - I'm in Northern California... Well, I *do* want alternate
circuits... The reason for using a single run of 12/3 is that I wouldn't
have to run an additional separate length of wire - everything would be in
the one cable. Sorry if my post didn't make that clear...

Are you Canadian? Something similar to that--perhaps exactly--is
standard for kitchens in Canada. I think they may require seperate
jackets, but perhaps not.

I don't think it meets code in the US. At the very least, I've never
seen it recommended for US practice.

Why not just alternate curcuits?
