Is your AHJ using that inane argument that IBC only mentions non-combustible and not limited combustible in chapter twenty-something and that 13 is only a standard while IBC is a code and so limited combustible is not recognized as existing in the code? (Never mind that 13 is the code when IBC is adopted without removing the appropriate section from chapter 9.) I had this recently.
