Matt:

To make sure I understand this, tenant leaves their unit, or area the building 
isolates for fire, enters a common area that is another separation, then uses a 
key to enter another private area with their auto or storage? I would guess 
this door is a rated door, through another rated wall.

Do I have the picture right?

Subject: garage under apartments

I am looking at an apartment building where the first floor is half garage 
spaces (instead of apartments). Each garage is assigned to one apartment and 
has a locking door on it, but as you exit the garage, you enter a hallway that 
serves all of the units on the first floor.

The question: would these garages be considered "accessible by only one unit"?  
(able to be protected by 13R 6.8.3.3 as  part of a dwelling unit)

It seems like they are, since they cannot be entered by people from the other 
units. Any thoughts?
