Is there a particular code section that he is using to reject the application?

We have done these many times, but I am getting rejected from a local AHJ that says you can't use residential sprinklers in an I-2 occupancy. This is an identical building to a project that was done about 3 miles away in an adjacent jurisdiction without any issues. I have presented him with: 6.2.4.1 Residential Sprinklers. *Residential sprinklers shall be permitted to be listed for portions of residential occupancies as defined in 8.4.5.1.* 8.4.5.1* *Residential sprinklers shall be permitted in dwelling units and their adjoining corridors, provided they are installed in conformance with their listing*. 3.3.8 Dwelling Unit. One or more rooms arranged for the use of one or more individuals living together, as in a single housekeeping unit normally having cooking, living, sanitary, and sleeping facilities. For purposes of this standard, dwelling unit includes hotel rooms, dormitory rooms, apartments, condominiums,*sleeping rooms in nursing homes, and similar living units*. -- Please feel free to call if you have any questions or comments.
