be permitted to be open to the story that is not at street level.
2. In buildings three or fewer stories in height, and protected by an
approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with 32.2.3.5 stair
enclosures shall not be required provided that there remains a primary
means of escape from each sleeping area that does not require
occupants to pass through a portion of a lower floor, unless that route is
separated from all spaces on that floor by construction having a
minimum ½-hour fire resistive rating.
