<br />12/17/2007 <br /> <br />1. All buildings more than 75 feet above the lowest level of RCFD vehicle <br />access (classified "high-rise" buildings) shall have approved combination <br />automatic fire sprinklers installed; a secondary on-site water supply, in <br />addition to an approved primary water supply capable of supplying the <br />required fire flow; a standby power-generator set; and two remotely located <br />Fire Department connections. <br /> <br />2. Fire hydrants shall be provided along required fire apparatus roads and <br />adjacent public streets in conformance with the Uniform BuildinQ Code. <br /> <br />3. On-site fire hydrants and mains capable of supplying the required fire flow <br />(5,000 gallons per minute) shall be provided when any portion of a building or <br />facility is in excess of 150 feet from a water supply on a public street. <br /> <br />4. Fire apparatus access roads shall be provided when any portion of a building <br />or facility is located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as <br />measured by an approved route around the exterior of the building or facility. <br />No point in a structure shall be more than 150 feet away from an access point <br />(such that fire hoses do not have to extend over 150 feet). <br /> <br />5. Piers, wharves, or floats more than 250 feet from fire apparatus access shall <br />be provided with an approved wet standpipe system. <br /> <br />The City may consider other alternatives to these requirements if it determines that such <br />alternatives are feasible and such access will not jeopardize emergency response. <br /> <br />Findings: Implementation of these measures is feasible and would reduce this <br />impact to a less-than-significant level. <br /> <br />G. Emergency Access Impacts <br /> <br />Potential Impact 10-7: The project has the potential to conflict with RCFD <br />standards for road design (e.g., 20 feet of unobstructed width and 45-foot/22-foot minimum <br />outside and inside turning radii, respectively). Any potential conflicts with RCFD road design <br />standards could cause emergency access deficiencies, representing a potentially significant <br />impact. <br /> <br />Mitigation 10-7: As a condition of tentative subdivision map approval, require <br />(a) City review and approval of the proposed tentative subdivision map, and (b) demonstration <br />by the applicant that the project complies with all applicable City and RCFD road design and <br />emergency access standards. The City may consider other alternatives to these requirements if <br />it determines that such alternatives are feasible and such access will not jeopardize emergency <br />response. <br /> <br />Findings: Implementation of this measure is feasible and would reduce the <br />impact to a less-than-significant level. <br /> <br />Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 <br />121707 <br /> <br />31 <br /> <br />14829 <br />Muff# 613 <br />
