The only exception I can think of is a non-combustible building with non-combustible product (i.e. granite warehouse, steel pipe warehouse, steel beam warehouse, etc.). The sprinkler protection would only be allowed to be omitted in these instances if the product is not stored on idle pallets or in wooden crates.
Obviously, the best place to find out for sure would be to do a little research using the standards adopted into law for your region of the country/world (actually region which the warehouse is located).

I have searched Ontario building code ( Warehouse is in Ontario, Canada) but didn't find anything.

Now some places allow a two hour fire wall to split buildings so they do not have to sprinkle
fireprotect
so you are saying that there is a partial sprinkler system in the building???
roughly how old is the building??? was this area and addititon to an existing building????
