Rowland,
Please see below for fire department conditions,
Construction, installation or development of buildings and/or roads, driveways, gates and bridges on
parcels/lots shall comply with the latest California Fire Safe Regulations—Public Resources Code 4290, 4291 and
current Butte County Improvement Standards, whichever is stricter.
Prior to building construction, provide an all‐weather access of at least 10 feet wide for residential, and 20 feet
wide for commercial, and vertical clearance of 15 feet that will allow for ingress and egress and accommodate a
40,000‐pound fire apparatus to within 150 feet of all structures.
Place a note on a separate document, which is to be recorded concurrently with the Parcel or Final map, or on
an additional map sheet stating, “Building identification and/or addresses shall be installed in conformance with
Public Resources Code 4290 and shall be posted at the time of permit issuance and maintained continuously
thereafter.
Pressurized water ‐ 13.01‐1 Requirement Class 1
o Except for those areas designated as “high and very high” hazards on the hazard severity index map, a
pressurized water supply for fire protection will not be required. The developer will install an automatic
fire sprinkler system in all new residential structures in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association standard for the installation of sprinkler systems in one and two family dwellings and mobile
homes, NFPA Standard 13D. (Res 04‐271, 12‐14‐2004)
o Subdivisions in those areas designated as “high and very high” hazards on the fire hazard severity index
where the lot size is less than 10 acres will require a pressurized community water system.
Basically, the project is required to have a pressurized community water system. There must be hydrants in the area
(within 1000’ of each structure.)
