I-4 as Accessory

I am aware of all the different scenarios of I-4 (5 or less, less than 2 1/2, more than 2 1/2, educational, residential, etc)
But I'm not clear on one thing?
Do I need separation between I-4 (all ages) and B if it's accessory to B and less than 10% of the area (and assuming more than 5 OL)? or because the occupants are not capable of self preservation, separation is required regardless of percentage of building area?
I have read through 508.2, 308.5 and I can't find anything describing that particular scenario.

TIA
 
Just pulling out of air....If it is covered under Ch. 4 for "special" stuff..(or maybe Ch. 7).I would say yes under "general vs. specific"...otherwise no...and I think I4 is no...

Thank you! I went back to those sections and I can't find anything specific to I-4. I also think I-4 would be a no, but I don't see anything treating I4 any differently than any other when it comes to accessory/ancillary.
