If it's a 13D system then: 13D 8.3.8 Sprinklers shall not be required in closets in garages and exterior closets (regardless of size) located on exterior balconies, exterior breezeways/corridors, or accessed from outdoors where the closet does not have doors or unprotected penetrations directly into the dwelling unit.
Is the building classified as an R-3 occupancy? The '13' reference on the code analysis page might be a mistake if it is but you can always give the architect a call to see if that's the case. Otherwise I agree - this layout looks a little odd for a 13D but it is what it is unless the local ammendments have anything to add to the situation. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=icon> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=link> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Fri, Feb 9, 2018 at 12:15 PM, Paul Cetani <pa...@norcalfire.com> wrote: > This is pretty cut and dry here in Nor Cal.
