I believe that the CMU and steel frames both constitute their own, lateral framing lines and can, thus, each use their own respective R-values per ASCE7
 
I second this. Specifically ASCE 7-16 Section 12.2.3.3 has an exception that For RC I or II, Two stories or less, and Light frame/Flexible Diaphragms, then the R value can be taken on each independent line of resistance.
 
Agreed with KootK, specifically reference the EXCEPTION under ASCE 7-16: 12.2.3.3 for using R-values for individual lines of resistance
