If the fire sprinkler system was required by code, then, yes, the crawlspace would be included.
However, being as the fire sprinkler system is not required by code, but is required by the subdivision, the answer would be in how that requirement was worded.
If that requirement refers to 'as required by ... in ... code', then the code is part of the subdivision requirement by reference. However, if the subdivision requirements just state that the living space will be sprinklered ... then I would wonder 'to what standard is the sprinkler system to be installed', and then I would follow by saying that the crawlspace is not living space and would not be included, then I would go back for the answer to 'to what standard is the sprinkler system to be installed', and therein that messy wording would lie the answer to your question.
Do you have the subdivision requirement wording?
