The area increase for frontage is not tied to sprinkler protection being provided.

(+/- 17,000 sq. ft) limit established by Table 503. The architect specified NFPA 13R as the design standard. The use group is R-2 and the construction type is VA. If an area increase is taken due to frontage (hence the 17,000 sq. ft.), would that automatically push this into a full NFPA 13 system?
