Design for Active Occupants in mixed-use building

The main criteria says that "Access to floors may be restricted by use of security devices, such as card keys, codes or other access devices", so I would think as long as the occupants of any floors above ground level have the physical ability (i.e. the staircase(s) exist), it's ok if they're not necessarily allowed access to every floor. This would be common in a high-rise office building, which often has some retail component on the ground level. If a business on the 5th floor only has key access to their floor, they can still use the stairs from the ground level to get up to their floor if they want to. I would think those occupants on the ground level who have no use for the upper floors (i.e. they're visiting retail or another service) would be exempt from needing to have access to the other areas at all. Of course, unless that's explicitly stated, it'd be a guess from our standpoint. I'd probably write up a short narrative to GBCI or LEED Coach, explain the logic in a way that's not necessarily asking them if your project will comply, but more asking for clarity of the requirements (otherwise, they'll say to submit a CIR), and see what they come back with.
