THE FOLLOWING STANDARD CONDITIONS APPLY TO THIS
PROJECT.
Charles Joseph Associates (CJA) as the applicant for the project has requested in writing
consideration by Fire Construction Services (FCS), the Building and Safety Department (B&S)
and Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District (RCFPD) regarding building features and site
access issues, which the submittal team was not able to provide in the time line allotted by CJA
to meet their goals.
1. The total building height of the structure excluding the tower must be limited to 50'
measured from the surrounding grade to the highest peak of the roof (for structures without
basements). The adjustments to the height of the building must be made before any further
technical review.
2. Site access for structures (4) stories and higher must meet the requirements of Appendix I-
B in the RCFPD Ordinance 39 for ladder access. The deficiencies in the site design are a
lack of a 20' wide operational concrete or grassy area on two sides of the buildings and the
obstructions (trees) to these sides of the building, which exceed five feet in height. FCS &
RCFPD has met with Donald Granger of RC Planning Department to discuss the issues
regarding the placement of trees on two 40' sections of the west and south elevations as
well as the entire north elevation. The conclusion of the discussion is to eliminate any tree
along the two 40' sections on the west and east elevations, to plant the required trees on the
north elevations in between the windows and limit these trees to dwarf species. The
placement of light standards must also meet the Ordinance requirements.
3. Further design of the site must allow adequate space on the north elevation to allow the
RCFPD firefighters to place ground ladders on the building at a 65% inclination to reach the
third floor windows plus a 4' to 6' space between the ground ladder and the parked vehicles.
