Fire Construction Services has reviewed your plans submitted for Development Review.
This project review was based on the plans submitted which reflect occupancy type R-3,
Construction V-N, square footage unknown.
The project has been determined to be incomplete for the following reasons:
1. Proof of Annexation to the Fire District Community Facility District 88-1 must be provided.
2. Proof of the available fire flow must be submitted.
3. Fuel Modification plans is required for this project, which is located in the hazardous fire
area.
When all of the above outstanding Fire District issues have been resolved, your project will be
deemed complete by the Fire District and with the approval from all of the other City Divisions; it
may advance to the next step in the process.
Based on the information found in your submittal, the buildings will be required to be sprinklered
in accordance with NFPA 13D.
Please contact Moises Eskenazi, Sr. Plans Examiner at 909-477-2710 ext. 4209 to answer
any questions or set-up an appointment as necessary.
Reference the following brief description of the outstanding issues and instructions on
how to resolve them.
ANNEXATION OF THE PROJECT into the Community Facilities District #88-1 for fire
protection services is required. The annexation requirement will not be considered complete
until the applicant begins the annexation process and/or receives a clearance from the Fire
Administration Office. Instructions to begin the process can be obtained from the Fire
Administration Office by contacting Janet Walker at 909-477-2770 ext. 3003. Failure to contact
the Administration Office and to start the annexation process will result in a delay of the project
approval and prevent the issuance of building and grading permits. Fire Construction Services
will not grant completeness of the planning process or allow the Building Department to issue
grading or building permits until Janet Walker in the Fire Administration Office has granted a
written clearance to proceed.

PROOF OF AVAILABLE FIRE FLOW must be obtained from the Cucamonga County Water
District (CCWD). The applicant must contact CCWD's Engineering Department located at
10440 Ashford Street, Rancho Cucamonga. They may be contacted by calling 909-987-2591.
Their office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Allow sufficient time for
CCWD to perform the test and produce a letter confirming the available fire flow. The applicant
must submit the proof of the fire flow letter to the FCS counter. The letter must be current
(within one-year of the request) and be site specific. When FCS receives the letter, this fire flow
item will be deemed complete only if the available fire flow, as stated on the CCWD letter, meets
or exceeds the fire flow required for the building in accordance with the California Fire Code.
Fire flow is a requirement of the California Fire Code Section 903 and Appendix III-A. The
required fire flow for your project has been established at 2000 GPM at 20 psi. This fire flow
may be reduced by up to 50%, if the building will be equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler
system in accordance with NFPA 13 or NFPA 13R. A NFPA 13D system will not permit a
reduction in fire flow.
FUEL MODIFICATION PLANS are required for projects located in the designated "Hazardous
Fire Area" of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District. Fuel modification plans must be
submitted, by the applicant and approved by Fire Construction Services before the project can
be deemed complete for technical review. The fuel modification plans will be prepared in
accordance to the County of Los Angeles Fire Department's Fuel Modification Plan
Guidelines and submitted to Fire Construction Services for approval before grading
permits are issued. The fuel modification plans must provide recommendation for the
materials and set backs to be used in the construction of the home in accordance to the
San Bernardino County Fire Safety Overlay District Area FS-1 and/or FR-2.
