If you're going to put sprinklers beneath what are they going to be protecting? What density would you use for automobile parking?
OH1 would be suitable since it lines up with the recommendation for hazards in NFPA 13. 2007-A.5.3.1. Light hazard wouldn't be worth running the pipe. If there was something to catch fire there what would it be, most likely it would be a vehicle so protect appropriately. Craig L.

With a drive thru Porte cohere is the density light hazard or OH1? 13 says that the cars should not be considered storage, that being the case there is no storage beneath. Light hazard would seem appropriate at this point.
