Would you interpret the exception of fully sprinklered in 405 to eliminate the rest of the entire 405 subsections when the building is more than 80' deep? This is an underground parking garage. It does have an accessory office in the lowest level (6) levels down. Thanks for any insight, It makes no sence that smokeproof enclosures for stairwells and pressurization, smoke control etc including the alarm paging system would be eliminated with only having a sprinkler system that won't stop the spread of smoke.
One thought we had in our dept. was that parking garages by themselves don't pose the same risk as an underground occupied building but the commentary seems to state differently.
