§ 1.3.1. Administrative and Jurisdiction Information

Latest version.

A.
The site plan review process for the Fire Code shall encompass all changes in use of property, development on land or shorelines and development or construction requiring a building permit affecting or implementing fire protection, prevention or suppression. Site Plan exemptions shall be as outlined in Chapter 25-5 of the Code of the City of Austin, but such exemptions shall not waive any requirements of the Fire Code.
B.
The Fire Department reviews for compliance with the Fire Code and certain applicable sections of the Building Code, and for impact of the design on potential emergency operations. The type, number and location of fire fighting appliances shall be reviewed to assure compatibility with respect to on site construction and the hazards of fire and explosion. In addition, where practical difficulties in meeting site requirements are encountered, alternate materials and methods of Fire Code compliance will be reviewed at this time.
