On the 13 & 13R issue the ICC Fire Code Interp Committee is currently balloting on the matter. While the question posed to the committee for interp is slightly different than the scenario here the whole topic of 'hybrid' (John!!) buildings has gone around the track more than once.
I'm on the same page as John on this as he and I have discussed it at length in our classes. I look forward to the final action by the 13R committee on the revised scope language to finally put this matter to rest. If anyone on the group gets word on the final action it would be appreciated if they would pass it along so I can file it away for the next pedestal building or mixed use project that comes along. The 2002 edition use of the term 'predominant' use is a little too muddy for me and has led to spirited discussions with owners and designers along the way. I'm all for putting a little black and white down on paper when these issues come about. Any takers for a proposal to ICC for a new use group - 'N' for NASA? Seems almost symbolic if the local AHJ in Florida would issue a CO for the space station. Like manufactured housing - made one place and installed elsewhere but you have little control other than utility hookups and connections.
