that's what I was looking for and why I could not find it in 13.

So the question is now whether the local AHJ requires this for sprinkler 
systems.

Thanks to all.

For standpipe systems only.    No requirement for sprinkler it is local ahj 
decision.

There shall be a fire hydrant capable of supplying the fire flow
requirements for the system within 100 feet of the FDC.  (NFPA
14:6.4.5.4)

Subject: 100ft from FDC to hydrant?

Got a comment about locating a fire hydrant no more than 75-100 ft from
the riser FDC.

I know I've seen this requirement somewhere but for some reason I can
not locate it in NFPA or the IBC or IFC.  Does anyone know where this is
right off the top of their head?

All my search engines have failed me.
