Re: Fire Marshal Review BP -06-0432 AP # 079-400-044-000
Foothill Mennonite Church and School
1. The latest Use Permit we have in our files is UP 02-16, a 24 month permit which has not
been established; thereby, declaring it null and void. Has the UP been updated?
Use Permit 02-16 is for a 3,495 sq. ft. church. The plans state the building is 3,561 sq.
ft. The minor upgrade in square footage is not a problem with the Fire Department—
does it affect the Use Permit?
2. UP 02-16 requires: "Water for fire protection is required. The preferable system is a
hydrant system capable of meeting the fire flow requirements. If this is not feasible, a
system involving independent pumps, static water storage and dry standpipes may be
substituted. Such a system is subject to the approval of the fire department. The
available water flow from such a system must meet the general flow requirement. The
minimum volume of water in storage must equal the fire flow for the type of project
times 20 minutes. Provisions must be made to ensure the system is maintained to its
design capacity.
The above requirement per UP -02-16 was to be shown on all building plans. It is not
shown on any plans.
The fire flow for this project is: 1,500 gallons per minute (GPM) = 30,000 gallons of
water storage (tank or well.)
A reduction in required flow of up to 75 percent is allowed when the building is
provided with an approved automatic sprinkler system.

3. Fire Department Access: California Code of Regulations Title 19, Public Safety, Div. 1

County Road Standard 8 as noted on plan sheet C-1 will not suffice. Per Title 19 and
Public Resources Code 4290 (SRA) the access road shall be hard -surfaced and capable
of supporting 40,000 lbs. The parking area should also be capable of supporting the
aforementioned weight.
4. Plan sheet "CS" failed to note that the project shall also comply with the latest edition of
the California State Fire Marshal adopted 2001 California Fire Code.
5. In addition, Title 19 requires posting the assembly room's occupant load capacity.
"Any room having an occupant load. of 50 or more persons where fixed seats are not
installed, and which is used for assembly, classroom, and dining, drinking, or similar
purposes, shall have the capacity of the room posted in a conspicuous place near the
main exit from the room. Posting shall be by means of a durable sign having a
contrasting color from the background to which it is attached. Signs shall be of an
approved type and shall be maintained in a legible manner by the owner or his
authorized agent and shall indicate the number of occupants permitted for each room
use. No person shall deface or remove such signs except as authorized by the enforcing
agency. `
Since no permanent seating is noted on the floor plan the following occupant loads shall
be stated on the occupant load sign:
Seating: 206
Dining: 96
6. All fire extinguishers shall be 2A: IOBC.
7. The following information is provided from Title 19 to further insure that the applicants
have life safety guidelines at hand:
