However, what does the AHJ say?

For me: what is the level of the FD access compared to the level of the
ramp they walk down to? If they are the same then it fits the
definition. If not, then...

What if they can drive around but need to walk down a ramp to access the
parking garage?  Would the level then be one where the truck is parked?

09 IBC definition of a High Rise: A building with an occupied floor
located more than 75 feet above the lowest level of fire department
vehicle access.



So if the FD can drive around to the side of the partially exposed
portion of the garage, that would be the lowest level of FD vehicle
access. If the FD can't then it's not.

Can someone please tell me what section of the 2009 IBC is used for

figure out the lowest level of fire department vehicle access?   I have

a existing building that has a partially exposed parking garage that if
included in the overall height of the building, would make it a high
rise requiring automatic wet standpipes.



Thanks,
