Aren't there square footage limitations as well?

Take a look at section 16.2.1.2.  I believe in your case, the Misc. Storage criteria does apply.  However, for Class IV commodities on racks 10-12 ft tall, the criteria is EH1, per the Misc. Storage Table 13.2.1.

I believe where the biggest confusion, and the importance of the definition comes into play, is with plastic storage over 5 feet, but under 12 feet.  There is not equivalent language to 16.2.1.2 in the plastic storage chapters...

    Just want to confirm per the definition of Misc. Storage (3.9.1.18
    NFPA 2013) that just because something is stored less than 12’
    high doesn’t automatically make it misc. storage. Working on a
    project that is 42,000 sq.ft. and the owner is storing Class I-IV
    commodities on double row racks. Says he was told as long as he
    doesn’t exceed 12’ high he only needs OH-2 protection at the ceiling…
