Craig, Is it possible to tell if any area, height, or travel distances for sprinklers been taken? I think your path would be where 13 specifies all areas must be sprinklers unless specifically omitted. So you have the areas you would normally exclude if they meet the specified criteria in 13 or if the jurisdiction has a specific ordinance allowing you leave an area unprotected. Seattle used to have a life safety provision for retrofit of hotels and group homes where you just sprinklered the hllls and ran a head into each unit over the door.
