16.3.1.1 is CMDA sprinklers, not CMSA, unless I am mis-reading your references. CMDA would just have the 30% increase in the system design area.

Table 16.3.2.1 (NFPA 13 2013 edition) is the CMSA section. That includes criteria for a dry pipe system. I am assuming you are able to use the dry system criteria for your preaction system.

Hey everyone, I am looking at a freezer project, 30' storage 33' building 
height, class II, unencapsulated stored palletized on open shelves.  Does NFPA 
13 2013 chapter 16 place any restrictions on the use of a pre-action system for 
this type of configuration?  Specifically I am looking at 16.3.1.1, CMSA with 
one level of in rack, per 16.3.1.1, figure e, or f.
Thanks for your input,
