Examples:
Full size man door with no lock, definitely not limited access.
Access hatch/panel attached with screws/bolts, definitely IS limited.
Everything else in between is subject to interpretation, with the goal being that people don't or cannot use the area for storage.
Keep in mind you are using the section of the code that is basically written for above-the-ceiling space.. So it comes down to what kind of mood the AHJ is in that day. If you put a permanent no storage on order of fire dept. sign up inside the space, and put in a less than full size door which locks that should satisfy the crustiest of AHJs.
