8.15.7.1 boiled down says projections over 4' have to be sprinklered underneath unless they're the stuff outlined after, non combustible construction, or non-combustible facings with sprinklers inside or 1 of the three exceptions noted.
8.15.7.2 is a standalone, regardless of what you've had to do to this point, if combustibles are stored below and it's over 2' wide you must put in sprinklers. Construction type isn't relevant.

Canopy is less than 4'-0" in width, No vehicle storage, non-combustible construction, not a corridor, so all items are met for https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://8.15.7.1__;!!FaxH778!Il4gkwPQ9UvJcoxmiGqOG67e7B6ukqsJLo_PohkUo8bPuswBi35_dDAmht3zZzix$ , no sprinklers required.
