This exit stair serves 3 stories of stacked flats and the basement garage structure. It is located in an R-2 non-separated Type V-A building.
Plan reviews says the small space adjacent to the exit stair is an exit passageway, and wants a wall and doorway introduced.
I have detailed it as part of the exit stair enclosure with 2 hour walls/floor/roof.
When can a space be considered part of an exit enclosure and when is it an exit passageway? I've seen spaces like this before without intervening walls or doors.
