Intervening Spaces

[Gogo707]

Good afternoon all,

1016.2Egress through intervening spaces.​

2.Egress from a room or space shall not pass through adjoining or intervening rooms or areas, except where such adjoining rooms or areas and the area served are accessory to one or the other, are not a Group H occupancy and provide a discernible path of egress travel to an exit.
Exception: Means of egress are not prohibited through adjoining or intervening rooms or spaces in a Group H, S or F occupancy where the adjoining or intervening rooms or spaces are the same or a lesser hazard occupancy group.

5.Egress shall not pass through kitchens, storage rooms, closets or spaces used for similar purposes.

Fairly new to plan review here. A bit stumped by this - I have an F-1 occupancy that leads to a kitchen and assembly occupancy. You can note there are egress doors leading from the 'Party Room' and the Kitchen into the F-1, however, there are also exits that lead from these areas directly to the A. Would the noted code section above apply? Or would this only apply if those doors were the only means of egress?

Looks like the party room would not comply if the double door goes to an exit through a storage room or F occupancy.

Even though it's not required? The door through dining should meet all of the egress requirements.

I just meant the if this door was not required to be a exit, don't put an exit sign on it then it would not matter where it went too.
