I'm looking at a submittal for an outdoor pavilion that is not attached to an existing A-2 Occupancy that is fully sprinklered. It's essentially pole barn type construction. While it isn't attached to any building on the site it sits between the existing A-2 and an accessory structure on the same site, so it's partially bounded by buildings on two sides. (its approx 3100 SF) It's tall enough that it's roof overhangs both of the adjacent existing buildings. It also has a new outdoor toilet building that sets next to it and the roof over hangs that lower structure as well.
The pavilion also has a stage at one end that is about 2 feet AFF for the pavilion. Appropriate egress can be achieved easy enough. The interior of the bar has at least one exit that dumps into the area.
My question is this thing a U or an A-2? Is it a building based on the definition in Chapter 2? I'm basically trying to confirm whether or not to sprinkler it. It's walks like an A-2 in how it will be used (outdoor bar at one end performance platform at the other) but I'm not sure it meets the requirement of a building or a fire area since it has no walls of it's own and the horizontal projection/roof isn't attached to the existing A-2. Any thoughts?
