City wants to enforce newly adopted code on Permitted Project Under Construction

It does not matter if they have fuel burning appliances. The code does not require Carbon Monoxide detection in an "A" occupancy unless there is an "E" occupancy of more than 100 per room or space.

[F] 915.1.1 Where required.
Carbon monoxide detection shall be provided in Group I-1, I-2, I-4 and R occupancies and in classrooms in Group E occupancies in the locations specified in Section 915.2 where any of the conditions in Sections 915.1.2 through 915.1.6 exist.

This is the only section that may apply to church A-3 occupancy

305.1.1 Accessory to places of religious worship.
Religious educational rooms and religious auditoriums, which are accessory to places of religious worship in accordance with Section 303.1.4 and have occupant loads of less than 100 per room or space, shall be classified as Group A-3 occupancies.
