Urinal substitution for water closets — urinals provided in excess of required fixtures

Question

Is it the intent of Section 424.2 to apply to urinals that are provided in addition to, and are not substituted for, the water closets required by Table 403.1 — such that a separate toilet room containing only urinals and a lavatory is prohibited even where the required water closets are fully provided elsewhere without counting any urinal?
