In a drive through type garage for EMS/Fire/Police, would Chapter 4, section 404 apply of the IMC? There is no definition of a "Enclosed Parking Garage"

I think it would be good fit in my opinion.
In the section on enclosed parking garages, it gives the description that an enclosed parking garage is any garage that does not meet the definition of an open garage. So, if you can't call it open by definition, then it must be enclosed.

This becomes a judgement call. If the doors can be closed then it becomes an enclosed garaged. The exceptions under 502.14 are specific if one is applicable than it would comply with the spirit of the code.
