For urban properties with more than one dwelling unit per acre, no portion of lot frontage should be more than 450 feet via vehicular access away from a public hydrant. For non-urban properties less than one dwelling unit per acre, no portion of a structure shall be farther than 750 feet away via vehicular access from a properly spaced public hydrant that meets the required fire-flow. (Ord. 2010-0060 § 158, 2010.)

C105.2.1 Cul-de-sac hydrant location. When cul-de-sac depth exceeds 450' (residential) or 200' (commercial), hydrants shall be required at mid-block. Additional hydrants will be required if hydrant spacing exceeds specified distances. (Ord. 2010-0060 § 158, 2010.)

C105.2.2 Buildings other than one-family dwelling units. For all occupancies other than one-family dwellings, including commercial, industrial, multi-family dwellings, private schools, institutions, fire hydrant spacing shall be 300 feet. No portion of lot frontage shall be more than 200 feet via vehicular access from a public hydrant. No portion of a building shall exceed 400 feet via vehicular access from a properly spaced public hydrant. (Ord. 2010-0060 § 158, 2010.)

C106 On-site hydrants. When any portion of a proposed structure exceeds the allowable distances from a public hydrant, via vehicular access, on-site hydrants shall be provided. The spacing distance between on-site hydrants shall be 300 to 400 feet. All on-site fire hydrants shall have, at a minimum, a fire-flow of 1,250 gallons per minute at 20 psi for a duration of two hours. If more than one on-site fire hydrant is required, the fire-flow shall be in accordance with Table B105.1.
