CLEAR & OBJECTIVE HOUSING: APPROVAL C RITERIA UPDATE <br />November 13, 2018 DRAFT Preferred Concepts Report: Significant Issues Page 37 of 59 <br />COS-08 (EMERGENCY R ESPONSE ) <br />Description : The clear and objective tracks for conditional use, planned unit development, and site review <br />applications do not include a criterion for protecting emergency response. <br />Applies To : Conditional Use, Planned Unit Development, Site Review <br />Existing Code Section(s): N/A <br />Existing Code Language : N/A <br />Recommendation : Add criterion that requires the applicant submit a letter from the Fire Marshal’s office <br />stating that the proposal complies with the applicable Eugene Fire Code requirements regarding fire apparatus <br />access roads and fire protection water supply. (Option C) <br />Option C received the most stakeholder support, with option B receiving moderate support. Implementation of <br />option B is less technically feasible as it would require periodic updates to the land use code to ensure the <br />adopted version stay consistent with the current version of Eugene Fire Code. This would also create an <br />undesirable redundancy in code as the Eugene Fire Code already applies. Option C would allow the Fire <br />Marshal’s office to determine whether it is feasible to provide services to proposed development and would <br />ensure that this coordination occur early in the design process. The Fire Marshal’s office is the best party to <br />evaluate whether a particular development can be served and the requirement of a letter is consistent with <br />other methods used to demonstrate compliance with standards (as for geotechnical and tree standards). <br />The Fire Marshal’s office supports this o ption as a more effective and efficient way to accomplish their review of <br />new proposals. <br />For these reasons, option C was the clear recommendation. <br />A.
