<br />Sec. 5.08.310. Established.
<br />(a) The council provides for the establishment
<br />of fire lanes for purposes of ensuring immediate
<br />unobstructed access for emergency vehicles and
<br />equipment.
<br />(b) Whether marked or unmarked, fire lanes
<br />are established at all public or private fire
<br />hydrants, which fire lanes shall extend ten feet
<br />on either side of the hydrant and 20 feet in front
<br />of the curb or pavement edge nearest the front of
<br />the hydrant.
<br />(c) Whether marked or unmarked, fire lanes
<br />are established at all building exits required by
<br />the fire code or the state building code, which fire
<br />lanes shall extend ten feet in all direction from
<br />the exits. Where larger fire lanes are required,
<br />they shall be established and marked as provided
<br />in subsection (d) of this section.
<br />(d) The fire chief is empowered to order the
<br />establishment, designation and maintenance of
<br />fire lanes on public or private property wherever
<br />and to whatever extent as he may determine is
<br />reasonably necessary to ensure open and
<br />unobstructed emergency access. Fire lane orders
<br />shall be in writing and shall be served in person
<br />or by registered letter upon the property owner
<br />of record or, in the case of commercial properties,
<br />may be served upon the tenant occupying the
<br />property.

<br />Sec. 5.08.320. Standards.
<br />The actual size, location and extent of required
<br />fire lanes shall be determined by the fire chief in
<br />consideration of the particular access need and
<br />configuration on individual properties. As a
<br />minimum, all marked and designated fire lanes
<br />shall be at least 20 feet in unobstructed width,
<br />shall have at least 13 feet six inches of vertical
<br />clearance, shall where necessary provide for a
<br />turning radius of at least 50 feet, and shall be
<br />constructed of all-weather surfacing capable of
<br />carrying a vehicle axle loading of five tons
<br />(10,000 pounds).
<br />(Code 1984, § 9.34(8); Code 2003, § 46-82; Ord.
<br />No. 287(3rd series), § 9, 12-11-2023)
<br />Sec. 5.08.330. Fire lane signs and marking.
<br />(a) When a fire lane has been ordered to be
<br />established pursuant to this division, one or
<br />more permanent upright metal signs bearing the
<br />words "No Parking —Fire Lane" or similar words,
<br />if approved by the fire chief, shall be placed
<br />designating the restricted area. The number,
<br />size and location of required signs shall be
<br />determined by the fire chief.
<br />(b) When the fire lane is located on public
<br />property or within a public right-of-way, the
<br />required signs shall be erected by the city or by
<br />the public agency having jurisdiction over the
<br />property.
<br />(c) When the fire lane is located on private
<br />property, the required signs shall be erected by
<br />the property owner at his own expense within 30
<br />days of the date of the order establishing the fire
<br />lane.
