This kind-of piggy backs on the other single exit question in this forum but is specific to elevator lobbies of the upper floors.
For a high-rise building 20 floors +/- in California.
Yype 1A construction
fully sprinklered
Occupancy B
Can the elevator lobbies be connected directly to one exit? I have a single tenant floor and would like to remove the corridor to the second exit from the elevator lobby. The second exit would then be only accessible to the tenant of that floor through the suite.
I know that when approved I can use "1008.1.4.6 Access-controlled elevator lobby egress doors."
What I'd rather do is leave direct access to the stair that is closest to the elevator lobby.
Does 1021.1 exception 5 apply? Both stairs discharge directly to the exterior at the level of exit discharge. The occupant load would be just the elevator lobby.
Thanks
