Fire protection rules for building permits

A. The requirements for adequate fire protection for building permit applications for residential dwelling units and associated structures permitted in any zoning district listed in chapter 19 of this code, including but not limited to fire hydrants, necessary pipelines and other appurtenances, shall be reviewed, administered and issued by the department, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be applicable to the construction of the first and second dwelling unit on a premise in any zoning district. The Standard of the Insurance Services Office's Guide for Determination of Required Fire Flows issued by the Insurance Services Office, 1974 edition, as may be amended from time to time, shall be used as a guide in designing water mains and other appurtenances for adequate fire flow as set forth in sections 14.05.030 and 14.05.090 of this code. B. The requirements for adequate fire protection for building permit applications for all non-residential units or structures permitted in any zoning district as listed in chapter 19 of this code, including but not limited to fire hydrants, necessary pipelines and other appurtenances, shall be reviewed, administered and issued by the Department of Fire and Public Safety in accordance with chapter 16.04B of this code.
