Planning Case Comments DATE: 5/3/2021 CASE: PA 2021-13 North Elsinore Industrial Park APN 389-220-003 et al PLANNER: Damaris Abraham, Senior Planner REVIEWED BY: Steve Payne, Assistant Fire Marshal The Fire Department has reviewed this submittal and provides the following comments: 1. The applicant must provide a fire hydrant system capable of delivering fire flow as required by the California Fire Code and Fire Department standards. Fire hydrants shall be spaced in accordance with the California Fire Code. Based on current standards, the required fire flow is estimated to be 1,500 GPM at 20 PSI for a 2 hour duration. Estimated fire flow is based on a 10,200 square foot building area with Type V-B construction and the building having a fire sprinkler system per 2019 California Fire Code. 2. Gates must meet Fire Department standards at the time of building permit application. Current standards require that gates have a Knox rapid entry system and be set back up to 35 feet to allow emergency vehicles to safely stop away from traffic flow. These comments are preliminary; further review will occur upon receiving further planning applications. Additional conditions may be necessary at that time.
