Van accessible parking at R-2 Group parking decks

[tom]

I would appreciate your expert opinion/advice concerning req's seen at 2006 IBC 1106.5. When and what is height requirement for van accessible spaces under R-2 groups. 98" per ICC/ANSI? How many regular spaces are needed before I require a van accessible space? I am getting differing opinions from others. I have the commentary but still some confusion. As always, many thanks

IBC 1106.5 Van Spaces – For every six or fraction of six accessible spaces, at least one shall be a van accessible space.

1106.2 Groups R-2 and R-3. Two percent, but not less than one, of each type of parking space provided for occupancies in Groups R-2 and R-3, which are required to have Accessible, Type A or Type B dwelling or sleeping units, shall be accessible.

Where parking is provided within or beneath a building, accessible parking spaces shall also be provided within or beneath the building.
