The proposed project <br /> would be constructed in conformance with current fire codes, including features to reduce potential <br /> fire hazards. In addition,the final project design would be reviewed by the RCFD and the RCPD to <br /> ensure that it incorporates appropriate safety features to minimize fire and safety hazards, and <br /> criminal activity.
