No I meant whatever doors required if the exiting is less than the 400 allowed with vents. Your issue was related to "Section 1016.2: allows an increase in egress dimension to 400 ft. for a building with sprinklers and vents." If you don't have the vents I don't think you can use the 400'. I assume you'll need more doors to meet whatever (200'?).

It is a spec building S-1 high piled storage 490 ft. by 1064 ft. with no interior walls.

Read the text, don't read into it. If they wanted you to take the venting and egress exceptions for ESFR they would have said it. Remember you are also dealing with exception to the base rule. I only believe you get one in your case. Either skip the vents but add doors or skip the doors and add vents. Choose the lesser of the evils. Joe will have a cow, but you could do ESFR and vents and not do the doors. Now get an FPE involved to PBD the vents and doors with ESFR to balance not full compliance with either. Chris Cahill, P.E.

I think the same but I had a local Architect tell me it was taking the ESFR trade off twice.
