When it comes to determining whether or not a story is "above grade" it's pretty straightforward at first... Determine your average ground level adjoining the exterior building walls (go out 6' looking for the lowest point) and you've got your grade plane. So that makes sense to me. On the attached I calculated a grade plane of 100'. It's obvious from the sketch that levels 1,2,3 are all above grade plane.
Level B1's determination is by the following criteria:
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Level B1's determination is by the following criteria:
- Is the next floor above B1 (1FL) more than 6' above grade plane? No
- Is the next floor above B1 (1FL) more than 12' above the finished ground level at any point? That's my question.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
