Rooftop Patio

Well spoke with both Steve and Doug and both agreed an occupancy separation is not required between the "A" roof top use and the "B" interior uses. Both stated the "A" use is outside of the building and Occupancy separation is for spaces within a building. Both where quick to point out the 2015 provision which would require all floors below the roof top "A" use would need to be sprinkled.

Thanks **mtlogcabin** for the follow up !

So, ...if it is only their opinions, and no code sections are provided,

does a BO have the [ legal ] authority to waive Section 705.5 & Table

601 & 602 [ `12 IBC ] ?
