SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

One Chestnut LLC is requesting a Right-of-Way Use Permit (RL170080) to allow for a fire escape that extends up to 4 feet 4.5 inches into the public right-of-way and 17 feet above grade.  The bottom of the extendable ladder extends 12 feet above grade, on the east elevation of the building at 105 S. 1st St. The property is located in the Commercial Business District (CBD) zoning district.

 

Right-of-Way Use permits are processed under the provisions of Chapter 8.20, which requires review by the code administration manager and final approval by the City Council.  The permit also requires liability insurance as prescribed in Section 8.20.060, which will be provided to the Office of Code Administration prior to issuance of any permit. Approved permits are valid for a period of one year, renewable annually.  This allows the City an opportunity to review any public health/safety/welfare issues that may need to be addressed in subsequent years. This application was reviewed by the Development Services Team on January 16, 2018.
