Remodel of large nationwide retail store - M-Occupancy. There are six attached separate small businesses - B-Occupancies. Retailer doesn't want to share fire protection. Wants to alter existing eight inch riser and send a six inch overhead through a CMU wall to a separate, second riser/independent sprinkler system to serve the smaller businesses. CMU is not a fire wall. This is one building. I thought that a fully sprinklered building had to be served by one sprinkler system unless a fire wall separated the areas served. I am unable to find code to support that. Was I just dreaming?
