We have been discussing exterior projections in the office and with an AHJ on when sprinklers are required.
Section 8.15.7.1 Unless the requirements of 8.15.7.2, 8.15.7.3. or 8.15.7.3 are met, sprinklers shall be installed under exterior projections exceeding 4'-0" in width. Section 8.15.7.5 Sprinklers shall be installed under exterior projections greater than 2'-0" wide over areas where combustibles are stored. Canopy is less than 4'-0" in width, No vehicle storage, non-combustible construction, not a corridor, so all items are met for 8.15.7.1, no sprinklers required. But 8.15.7.5 seems to requires them because the canopy is over 2'-0" Normally we worked on the assumption less than 4'-0" and non-combustible, no storage, no sprinklers required and the 2'-0" was for combustible construction, over 2'-0" you required sprotection.
