ATTY/RESO.0035/PC RESO RECOMMENDING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT APPROVAL - 505 E. BAYSHORE <br />REV: 05-12-23 JB <br />Page 12 of 32 <br /> <br />62. Fire Access Road - Fire apparatus access roads shall extend to within 150 feet of all portions of <br />the facilities and all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the buildings as measured <br />by an approved hose pull route around the exterior of the buildings as per section CFC 503.1.1 <br />of the CFC. <br />a. The plans indicate adequate hose pull around the exterior of the buildings. <br /> <br />63. Available Water Supply to Project Site - Provide current fire flow information from the water <br />purveyor to indicate the maximum available water flow in gallons per minute (GPM) at a <br />minimum of 20 pounds per square inch (psi) residual pressure. This Information must be dated <br />within six months. <br />a. Based on the proposed construction type of Type VB, and the largest building’s square <br />footage of 14,863, the required fire flow will be 1,625 GPM at 20Psi residual pressure. <br />b. The attached utility report indicates that with a proposed 16 inch, to a 12 inch, to an 8 inch <br />water main extension from the 24 inch water main located at the roundabout at the <br />intersection of East Bayshore Road and Bair Island Road, there is a modeled projected fire <br />flow of 1,725 GPM at 20 Psi residual pressure at the proposed fire hydrant located on the <br />property at the proposed fire apparatus turnaround. <br />c. Actual fire flows will be determined by fire flow testing at the new fire hydrant once all of <br />the water system infrastructure improvements have been installed. <br />d. Additional fire hydrants will need to be installed including one at the entrance to the project <br />to meet the requirements of Appendix C of the CFC. <br />• There is a comment in a response letter acknowledging this requirement, but it is not <br />indicated on the plan set. <br />• Plan Sheet C5.0 indicates a new hydrant will be installed at the entrance to this project. <br />This is also shown on Plan sheet A2.1 as the new hydrant proposed at the end of the <br />interior fire access lane in the fire apparatus turn-around is called out. <br />e. The required fire flow must be available at the building site prior to any combustible materials <br />being brought onto the site or any buildings being constructed. <br />f. All water mains providing a water supply for fire protection, both to fire hydrants and to fire <br />service systems, cannot be less than eight inches in diameter. [CFC §507.1.1 as amended by <br />the City of Redwood City Code of Ordinances §12.16] <br /> <br />64. Fire Hydrant Placement (Sheet C5.0) Buildings equipped with a fire sprinkler system designed <br />in accordance with CFC §903.3.1.1 shall have a fire hydrant within 50 feet of the fire department <br />connections located on the same side of the roadway. [CFC §507.5.1 and City of Redwood City <br />Code of Ordinances §12.16] <br />a. This requirement is applicable to the onsite fire hydrant and the fire hydrant located at the <br />entrance to the project at East Bayshore Road. <br /> <br />65. Carbon Monoxide Alarms Required – Single or multiple station carbon monoxide alarms <br />are required in all residential occupancies where fuel-burning appliances are installed or that <br />have an attached garage CBC 915.1.
