Subject: Residential Closets in NFPA 13 and... 101?

Good morning Forum,

I'm working on a 8 story dormitory and going by NFPA 13 2010 Edition. The 
building is entirely dorm rooms and common area activity areas.

So I'm taking exception 8.15.8.1 for bathrooms under 55 sq ft. Then there's 
8.15.8.2 for closets under 24 sq ft. I can't take this since it's only 
indicated for hotels/motels. Correct? I'd love to haha. But anyway I can't 
remember for the life of me where in 101, I believe it is, that limits closets 
to 12 sq ft. I usually go by that because it's good to take the most stringent 
of the two. But I can't find it and wanted to re-read it to see what occupancy 
it related to, only 13R or others. Just so perhaps I could use that rule to 
eliminate some.

Any help locating that? Maybe it was in the IBC Fire Code, I honestly forget at 
this point.
