It's in the book. It moved from 8.16.1.5 in the 2013 edition to 8.2.4 in the 2016. The section you want in the 2013 is 8.16.1.5.2.
However, in 2013 CA amendments, the OSFM made a numbering error and created an amendment to 8.16.1.5.1 and its subordinate sub-subsections that should have referenced a different set of numbers. That's made the issue a bit more complicated than it should be but the bottom line is that the exception you're looking for is in the standard.

During that webinar there was a brief discussion about floor controls, and not needing one for feeding a small area on another floor level (i.e. top of stairs on a roof level access). Is there code explaining this exception or is this more up to the AHJ? Jerry Van Kolken Millennium Fire Protection Corp. 2950 San Luis Rey Rd. Oceanside, CA 92058 (760) 722-2722 FX 722-2730
