Travis,
NFPA 1, Fire Code (2012) 13.2 does not use elevation as the
criteria. Protected structures over 3 stories require a standpipe and
unprotected structures over 2 stories, should this be one of your adopted
codes.

Subject: Standpipes
Does a loft/mezzanine count toward the height to require a standpipe?
Example: 4th floor is 29'-4" above lowest level of fire department access.
So standpipe would not be required.
But these units have a loft/mezzanine that will be obviously above the 30'.
The only way to access the loft is from a stair in the unit on the fourth
floor.
So standpipes yes or no? It is an R-2 occupancy.
