Adding to what Steve mentioned, it's also worth being very careful on which
issues you care to fight over. We've both run across AHJ's who didn't
"follow
the rules" on mandating local requirements, and the fight was more demanding
than simply doing what was asked.
I emphasize that for me - not any reference to Steve - it cost me a
client, and any
chance of ever getting a submittal through that AHJ in the future.
People are
human.

Depends on whether it's ordained, or a local code amendment or policy
bulletin or just an off-handed comment. Local fire and building
officials have several different statutory methods that they can use to
make requirements that are more restrictive (or less) or beyond the
minimum prescriptives of a code or standard. But in theory, it's
supposed to be substantiated, documented and published in the public
domain. So as far as whether the AHJ you're referring to can make such
a requirement "...without an amendment ..." as you say, all depends on
what the local municipal code and/or city manager and/or city attorney
would say if you threw off the gloves.
My opinion only,

Subject: 13D exterior overhangs.
13D does not require heads in exterior over-hangs, such as a second
story over-hanging a driveway. Can an AHJ apply 13 rules to 13D systems
without an amendment and require heads in over-hangs 4' & greater?
