ATTY/RESO.0024/PC RESO 901 EL CAMINO REV: 04-11-25 VR Page 16 of 27 aerial fire apparatus access road is required. [CFC Appendix D§105.1] This building is greater than 30-feet tall, and therefore an aerial (ladder truck) fire access road is required. Width: The aerial fire apparatus access road shall have a minimum unobstructed width of 26-feet, exclusive of shoulders, in the immediate vicinity of the building. [CFC Appendix D§105.2] Proximity to Building: One or more of the required access routes meeting this condition shall be located not less than 15-feet and not greater than 30-feet from the building and shall be positioned parallel along the longest entire side of the building. [CFC Appendix D§105.3] Obstructions: Overhead utility and power lines cannot be located over the aerial fire apparatus access road or between the aerial fire apparatus road and the building. [CFC Appendix D§105.4] Other Obstructions: Any other or fixed obstruction located on the entire length of the designated aerial fire apparatus access road shall not interfere with the operation of an aerial ladder placed at a maximum climbing angle of 75° from the turntable plane to the fullest extent of the aerial ladder effective reach. [FIRE] 69. Fire Flow - Based on the information provided, the minimum required fire flow for manual suppression for this project is not less than 2,125 gallons per minute at 20 psi residual pressure for a duration of two hours. For buildings equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system, the water supply shall be capable of providing the greater of the fire sprinkler system demand with hose stream allowances or the required fire flow. [FIRE] [CFC §507.1 and B-§105.3] 70. Fire Hydrant Distribution Piping - All water mains providing a water supply for fire protection, both to fire hydrants and to fire service systems, must be not less than eight inches (8”) in diameter (inside measurement). [FIRE] [CFC §507.1.1 as amended by the City of Redwood City Code of Ordinances §12.16] 71. Fire Hydrants - The fire hydrant system for this project must comply with Sections 507.5.1 through 507.5.6 and Appendix C of the CFC. Fire hydrant locations are to be installed along the fire apparatus access road and located such that no portion of the facility is more than 400-feet from the fire hydrant on the fire apparatus access road. [FIRE] [CFC §507.5.1] 72. Fire Hydrants Near Fire Department Connections - Buildings equipped with a standpipe system installed in accordance with CFC § 905 or a fire sprinkler system complying with CFC § 903.3.1.1 shall have a fire hydrant within 50-feet of the fire department connections located on the same side of the roadway. [FIRE] [CFC §507.5.1 as amended by the City] 73. Secondary Water Supply - An automatic secondary on-site water supply having a usable capacity not less than the hydraulically calculated fire sprinkler demand, including the hose stream requirement, shall be provided for high-rise buildings. The secondary water supply shall have a useable capacity of not less than the hydraulically calculated sprinkler demand
