Another "is it a roof or is it hardscape" inquiry

We are working on a mixed use project in a dense urban environment. It will contain one tower with hotel, other hospitality and entertainment functions topped by many floors of condos, two all-condo towers, a big chunk of retail and lots of (100% covered)parking. Some open space will be on street level but most will be the vast podium plaza about 7 stories up, containing over 25% greenspace and covering half the site. The raised plaza covers 5 stories of above-ground parking, over 2 floors of retail, over another 2 floors of underground parking. There are also two pool/roofdeck areas on higher floors that are over mechanical floors/spaces, over regularly occupied space. In other words, none of this open space is directly over conditioned space, but there is conditioned space somewhere below. If the roof is defined as "the area of the uppermost surface of the building which covers enclosed Gross Floor Area", for the purposes of deciding whether these spaces should be applied towards SSc7.1 or 7.2 requirements, are these roof or non-roof open spaces? We are hoping we can use this towards SSc7.1. Covering the unshaded portions of the hardscape with a material with SRI of over 29 will be hard but over 78 would be blinding. Thanks!
