Is progressive collapse still a consideration for one story structures. I am working with ASCE 7 and the UFC codes. Obviously from a gravity perspective if a column is knocked out that portion of the roof comes down. But how about lateral systems does progressive extend to redundant lateral systems to prevent a lateral driven collapse mode?

No, per the UFC's it is only applicable 3 stories and taller.
