Having said that you don't apply all of 13, does that mean that in the 13
areas outside of the dwelling units you 1) Would 2) Would not apply the 3000
Sf design area for concealed combustible construction?

Other considerations aside (such as increased fire area as well as the
whole issue of mixed occupancies) let's say we are starting with a
building that a 13R system is acceptable. The answer is that you are
on the right path but 1500 sf is not the only answer. Outside the
dwelling unit (barring exceptions), you do have to follow 13 for the
discharge criteria ALONG WITH ITS MODIFIERS. Although not part of the
question allow me to say (due to extensive misunderstandings) that you do
not apply all of 13, ie locations such as concealed combustible spaces or
hose demand.

Unit" as essentially requiring me to do a 1500 sq. ft. calc for the most
remote portion of the common area? The conditions of 6.7.2.2 are not met
in
that many rooms exceed 500 sq. ft.
