Don't get lost/confused in that. Let's say it's occupied - it's not a floor. Period.
Now, if the BO or FO wants to make a ruling or interpretation that it is, or that they want standpipes, that's a different issue. But it's not a floor and should not could toward or past 30'-0". A mezzanine is not accessed through a protected stair and a mezzanine fire can be fought from within the unit.

Example: 4th floor is 29'-4" above lowest level of fire department access. So standpipe would not be required. But these units have a loft/mezzanine that will be obviously above the 30'. The only way to access the loft is from a stair in the unit on the fourth floor. So standpipes yes or no? It is an R-2 occupancy.
