Got an interesting plan review comment (third-party reviewing for Fire in CA). For an indoor greenhouse we have some movable racks. The racks are 4' wide by about 45' long and roll on tracks (think high-density storage). There are two shelves, the bottom one about 6" AFF and the top one about 7'-8" AFF. The racks are made up of sections about 4' x 8' with a post in each corner. The top of these 2 x 2 posts is about 12'-5" AFF.
You see where this is going, right? Per the reviewer, that post is 12'-5" tall so this is High Piled Storage (HPS). I call BS!
My first thought is that HPS is storage of packaged goods and other stuff that provides dense fuel for a fire. The definition of HPS is "storage of combustible materials in closely packed piles or combustible materials on pallets, in racks or on shelves where the top of storage is greater that 12' in height".
Live, irrigated plants with the top shelf at 7'-8" AFF - does anyone think this qualifies as HPS?
They also asked for a commodity classification. I guess Class 1? That includes fresh vegetables in nonplastic trays...
