Fire separation between drive thru and B use

Ok if outside heat detector

Either fixed temp or rate of rise or combo of both

There is no seperation required between B and U occupancies in TABLE 508.4 REQUIRED SEPARATION OF OCCUPANCIES if that helps you in a mixed occupancy scenario.
 
My 2009 IBC requires 1 hour between a "U" & a "B" with sprinklers an 2 hours without sprinklers. Then again it is small enough to probably meet the non-separated portion of 508.3 if it is a U & a B.
