Got it, we see this in condo communities all the time. Mini-storage, personal tenant storage ... it's all pretty much the same compartmentalization mentality. IMHO the chain link elements are not obstructions.

The storage room is divided up into little compartments with chain link 'security mesh' while the locker rooms have certain areas that are solid framed up to 2 ft from the ceiling which is chain link from there on up. I had it originally layed out as if they were not obstructions but now that I'm starting to finalize everything I'm starting to second guess myself and would like to have backup in case plan review questions it.
