Private or Pleasure Vehicles

[robarm]

Help me define "private vehicle" in exception © of Table 508.3.3

I have a S-2 open parking garage above a group M which is made up of 3 tenant spaces.

The building satisfies the requirements of 509.8 except maybe #3.

The separation is one-hour.

The parking is for a shopping complex that includes a big box store, a fitness club restaurants and shops.

The walls are two-hour rated.

Does this exception include the parking of privately owned vehicles of customers in a parking garage open to the public?

 

[mark handler]

the terms private or pleasure vehicles are used to differentiate from other vehicles identified in the code such as:

food preparation vehicles, buses, trucks, transit vehicles

robarm,

Welcome from here.

robarm - Welcome a-board. 'Private' vehicles would be 'non-commercial' vehicles.

robarm.. welcome... private is not commercial use..

Thanks, so I guess that's a yes. Privately owned vehicles that park in a public parking deck are included in exception 5. Therefore the rating can be reduced to one hour. Thanks for the welcome.

"Pleasure" vehicle. Ha.

If you live in Los Angeles, there is no such thing as a pleasurable driving experience.
