No it is light hazard and this was his response after I argued the
point..... "The most demanding design area is not the T-Bar ceiling, but the
attic. The Code States "the system area of operation shall be permitted."
So the system area of operation is the attic at 18'. You can reduce to 18',
but not to 10'. "
That being said I calculated the attic because its sloped so the design
area needed to be increased 30% so I did that and then proceeded to reduce
it 40% because the attic at its peak is 9' above tee bar...

Also, just a "heads-up" but in California you can only take that reduction
for Light Hazard...is that what he's thinking possibly?

Regarding AHJ code interpretation issues, my experience is that an
informal interpretation from NFPA will resolve almost all issues. They
can be obtained fairly quickly by contacting NFPA. The only exception
would be where the local AHJ has specific requirements over and above NFPA
code.
