Question

Is it the intent of 1021.1.2 and Table 1021.2 to allow a single exit from 3 levels of open parking garage where only valet attendants have access to these levels (via vehicle elevator) and park vehicles on mechanical lifts?

Answer Published 04/30/2012 at 8:18 AM

Yes. One Exit appears to meet the code requirements for an
occupancy where vehicles are parked mechanically; not by a
person. If pedestrian facilities are provided then a
vehicle ramp is required.

Commentary

None.
