I there is a standpipe system supplied from the water tank then you’d have the opportunity to use hose streams so a hose demand should be added for the sprinkler design. But as you point out, if there’s a standpipe supplied by the water tank then you’d need to do separate calcs for both the standpipe and sprinkler design-with-hose-allowance.
If there’s no standpipe and/or no hydrants supplied from the tank, then the hose allowance would not be required.

However you would have to design for the standpipe demand or the sprinkler demand which ever is greater.

I’m guessing not. If not then you don’t need the hose allowance (since there’s no place for hoses to be used).

Worst case for this particular building would be OH-2. (.2/1500 = 300gpm + 250 hose. 550gpm for a minimum of 60 minutes = 33,000 gallons). Per NFPA22 (2013) 5.1.3.1 round it up to 40,000 gallons. Does that sound about right? Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
