What building code are you using ?. Generally speaking fire separation distance may play a role in whether this is truly a detached structure or merely part of the main building despite the 7 foot separation.
Obviously fire exposure is the issue.

I am working on a hotel where there is a low canopy that protrudes 10 feet from the building. Then there is a larger, free-standing canopy that is 7 feet from the building and several feet higher that the attached one. All construction is combustible. Protection will be installed below the low canopy, but would protection be required for the larger, free-standing one? Would exposure protection be required along the wall adjacent to the canopy? The hotel is sprinklered per NFPA 13R. Todd G.
