Subject: [Sprinklerforum] canopy with occupancy above

I often see requests/requirements to protect under canopies that would normally 
be excluded by NFPA 13 due to the fact that they have occupancy above.

for example - a non-combustible canopy with no storage, that has chairs on top 
of it (assembly space). or a second story that extends out farther than the 
footprint of the first story.

Is there a code requirement for this? Is it just something that people have 
become used to doing? I have looked around and I just can't find it!

Thanks!

Matt
