Subject: RE: Covered Parking in 13R
John,
NFPA 13R states sprinklers are not required under a roof or deck above a
carport, 6.6.5.1, (13 ed.). From your description it sounds like a Carport.
NFPA 13R addresses Type V construction.
That would be a question for the local AHJ to answer.

Subject: Covered Parking in 13R
I have a 3-story, 13R building. Type IIB construction. On the “engineered” bid
set, no sprinklers are shown in the covered parking area. This area is inside
the footprint of the first floor, with 2nd floor units being located above the
parking area. There are no garage doors and the parking spaces are not
separated. To sprinkle or not to sprinkle?
