Staff Report - Chow Hut (MSPM 05-007)
Memorandum No PZ 05-192

SUMMARY NOTE: The Chow Hut request was heard at the August 9, 2005 CRA hearing and
was scheduled to be heard at the September 6, 2005 City Commission hearing. Prior to the
September 6, 2005 City Commission hearing, the applicant requested to table so plans could
be revised to include an additional 300 square feet of building. The revision required the
application to return for further staff review, and the revised request was rescheduled for
public hearings.
This staff report is essentially the same as the first report, except where it is updated to
include the additional 300 square feet of proposed building area. The increase in square
footage is minor and only impacts the size of the proposed building footprint, leaving the
chickee hut locations, parking, landscaping, and signage as originally proposed and analyzed
by staff and documented herein.
PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
All property owners within 400 feet of the subject property were mailed a notice of this request for a major
site plan modification and its respective revised hearing dates per the Applicant who has certified that the
required signage was posted and notices mailed in accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007.
Site Location:
The subject property is generally located two lots west of North Federal Highway
and the Florida East Coast Railroad right-of-way on the south side of Gateway
Boulevard within the Community Redevelopment Area. The lot is approximately
8,060 square feet (0.18 acres) and located within the C-2 zoning district.
According to the survey, the site consists of Lot 9 and the west 30 feet of Lot 10,
Block 13, of the amended plat of Boynton Ridge subdivision (Plat Book 24, Page
28). The subject site fronts Gateway Boulevard to the north, and Northeast 21st
Avenue to the south (rear), with vehicular access (ingress/egress) from both of
these streets at the front and rear of the site. The site is currently developed with
a one (l)-story, 702 square foot commercial building in the center of the lot, with 8
parking spaces in front and 6 parking spaces to the rear of the building.
Previously, The Village Salon of Beauty occupied the site, however, the beauty
salon is no longer active, and the building has been unoccupied for some time.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
According to public documents, the property was purchased by 558 Gateway LLC in
July of 2004. Mr. George Brewer, Agent and Architect for the owners, is requesting a
major site plan modification to convert the use of the building from personal services
to a take out restaurant with outdoor seating only (no drive-through window or
indoor seating proposed). The project includes construction of an additional 598
square feet of enclosed building area to the existing structure of 702 square feet, for
a total enclosed building area of 1300 square feet. The building addition of 598
square feet includes a freezer/cooler room, publiC handicap accessible restrooms,
kitchen storage area, and ice cream counter. Also, new covered outdoor dining areas
are proposed on each side of the building, with a maximum of 32 seats (including
service bar area). The elevation plan indicates the outdoor dining under thatched
chickee huts to be constructed by Miccosukee or Seminole Indians. It should be
Staff Report - Chow Hut (MSPM 05-007)
Memorandum No PZ 05-192
Page 3
noted that both the Miccosukee and Seminole Indian tribes are exempt from building
permit requirements.
The Chow Hut, advertising with on site signage as specializing in gourmet comfort
food, is proposed to be open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and "late late" night meals.
A service bar is included within the outdoor dining area, however the Applicant has
indicated that the majority of sales (90%) will be from food, not alcoholic beverages.
Any sale of alcoholic beverages, which must be consumed on the premises, will
require a license. Should proceeds from the sale of alcoholic beverages exceed food
sales, a conditional use approval for a Bar will be required (see Exhibit "C" -
Conditions of Approval). The Applicant has indicated that there will not be any
amplified music played indoors or outdoors, which also differentiates between a
restaurant and a bar / lounge.
The site is considered nonconforming to landscaping and ADA requirements. The
proposed site improvements will bring the site up to Code as much as possible by
adding architectural interest to the building, parking designated for handicap use,
public restrooms which are handicap accessible, a screened dumpster with enclosure
to match the building color, and landscaping where feasible.
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic:
A traffic statement which indicates a net increase of 208 daily trips for the
proposed use was initially prepared by Gerald B. Church, P.E. and sent to the Palm
Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency review to ensure an adequate level
of service. Based on their review, which was for a high turnover restaurant of
2,420 square feet, the Traffic Division determined that the proposed redevelopment
project meets the Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) of Palm Beach County,
however, no building permits are to be issued by the City after the build-out date of
2006. The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project
Aggregation Rules as set forth in the TPS Ordinance.
Now that the application and plans have been revised, a total of 2,548 square feet
is proposed (1300 sf enclosed building, .1248 sf under rooffor outdoor dining). The
additional 128 sf (2548 - 2420) will require a revised traffic concurrency approval
from the Palm Beach County Traffic Division prior to permitting (see Exhibit "C"-
Conditions of Approval).
Utilities:
Potable water and sanitary sewer / wastewater capacity is currently available to
serve this project, subject to the Applicant making a firm reservation of capacity,
following approval of the site plan (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Fire / Police:
These departments have reviewed the site plan and determined that emergency
services are available to the proposed project with an appropriate response time.
Although this redevelopment project is in an area with existing traffic congestion
and population density, emergency service providers expect to be able to utilize
their current or anticipated resources to maintain an adequate level of service for
the proposed project. Infrastructure requirements such as hydrants and roadways

will be further addressed at the time of permitting.
Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
The site to be redeveloped is accessible from both Gateway Boulevard (front) and
from Northeast 21st Avenue (rear). There are no curbed driveway points of ingress
/ egress existing, and none proposed due to existing parking locations and space
restrictions on site.
The proposed takeout restaurant use requires 1 (one) parking space per 2.5 seats
but not less than one (1) space per 100 square feet of gross floor area. With a
total of 13 parking spaces provided, the maximum enclosed building area is 1300
square feet (as proposed), and the maximum seating capacity for the restaurant
(including the bar) will be 32 seats. The current survey indicates 14 parking spaces
on site, but no space designated for handicap use which is required per ADA
standards. The Applicant proposes to re-stripe the existing parking spaces to
provide 8 spaces in front with 1 of the spaces designated for handicap use (van
accessible space with loading/unloading area), and 5 parking spaces in the rear.
The 90-degree parking stalls, excluding the handicap space, would be dimensioned
nine (9) feet in width and 18 feet in length and include wheelstops. All proposed
parking stalls, including the size and location of the handicap space, were reviewed
and approved by both the Engineering Division and Building Division. In addition,
all necessary traffic control signage and pavement markings will be provided to
clearly delineate areas on site and direction of circulation.
The site plan tabular data indicates that the proposed open space or "pervious"
area would be 1,231 square feet or 15.3% of the total lot area. Proposed
landscaping exceeds the minimum requirements in an effort to provide a more
tropical outdoor setting. A total of 20 square feet of landscaping is required per
parking space (260 square feet required, 1,151 square feet provided). In addition,
one (1) tree is required per ten (10) parking spaces (2 trees required, 10 trees
provided). Fifty percent (50%) of site landscape materials must be native species
and must be indicated on the landscape plan as such (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions
of Approval).
The proposed landscaping is contained in flush planters along the east and west
sides of the building adjacent to the outdoor dining areas and to the southwest
corner of the lot to screen the dumpster. Redevelopment of this site has
constraints due to existing parking locations, therefore landscaping along the right
of way is not possible. Some existing asphalt will be removed along the east and
west property lines for planting. The east buffer is 39 feet in length and varies
from 4 to 9 feet in width. Within this buffer there is required one (1) tree every 30
linear feet, and a continuous hedge planted at a minimum of 24 inches in height
with tip-to-tip spacing. The east buffer will contain three (3) Malayan Coconut
Palms (18' to 20' overall), twelve (12) Red Fountain Grass, nine (9) Cocoplum, and
seven (7) Hedge Bamboo shrubs (5' by 3' overall). The west buffer, which extends
Staff Report - Chow Hut (MSPM 05-007)
Memorandum No PZ 05-192
Page 5
along the entire side property line and screens the dumpster, will contain seven (7)
Malayan Coconut Palms (18' to 20' overall), 25 Red Fountain Grass, 33 Cocoplum
shrubs, and four (4) Hedge Bamboo shrubs. All curved trunk palms will be planted
to curve away from parking area (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Building Design: Currently a vacant, nondescript building sits in the middle of the site. The
proposed floor plan indicates a large kitchen area inside the building and no indoor
seating. Proposed is a take out restaurant with covered outdoor seating on each
side which resembles a chickee hut. The front of the existing building will have a
new covered gable facade, new impact sliding bi-pass windows at the front pick up
counter, a matching wooden guardrail in keeping with the chickee hut look, and
steel bollards between the building and front parking spaces. The chickee hut
additions, with pitched thatched roofs constructed by Miccosukee or Seminole
Indians, are proposed on each side of the building. The chickees will be supported
with several wooden posts and attach to the existing building with a matching
parapet wall for required screening of the existing rooftop mechanical equipment
(see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Under the chickee huts, paver bricks set
in sand will provide flooring for the outdoor dining, and will extend beyond the
chickees as walkways to the landscaping along the sides of the building, and to the
adjoining parking areas.
The building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements
when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings.
Height:
The existing building will remain as a one (l)-story structure. The maximum height
allowed in the C-2 zoning district is 25 feet. The elevations indicate the proposed
building improvements are a total of 19 feet in height at the highest point.
Floor Plan:
The proposed floor plan indicates building additions in the rear for the following: a
walk-in cooler and freezer area, publiC restrooms which are only accessible from
the outdoor dining area, a kitchen storage area, and an ice cream counter. An
open-air mop sink room with an 8 foot screen wall and lockable metal gate is also
proposed to the rear of the restaurant between the freezer addition and the
restrooms. A dumpster with enclosure is proposed at the southwest corner of the
lot to the rear of the building. The dumpster enclosure is required to match the
color, materials, and design of the principal building on site (see Exhibit "C" -
Conditions of Approval).
Lot Coverage:
The maximum allowable lot coverage in the C-2 zoning district is 40%. The total
lot coverage proposed is 31.6% which includes all areas covered by a building or
roofed area, inclusive of the covered patio area.
Colors:
The elevation plan indicates the proposed exterior color of the building to be Adobe
Orange (Benjamin Moore #2171-30) and doors to be Colorado Gray (Benjamin
Moore #2136-50) with all wood stained dark brown walnut. Per Chapter 9,
Community Design Plan, of the Land Development Regulations, Section 9.A.,
buildings, structures and site elements shall be in visual harmony with surrounding
developments. The proposed orange building color is considered too pigmented or
dark and is not compatible with surrounding development.
Staff Report - Chow Hut (MSPM 05-007)
Memorandum No PZ 05-192
Page 6
Staff recommends that the proposed Chow Hut be consistent with the colors
proposed for The Harbors 3 story townhouse development nearby at Gateway
Boulevard on the east side of Federal Highway: First floor (Sherwin Williams
#1334 - Cognac), Second floor (Sherwin Williams #2337-Beacon Yellow), Third
floor (Sherwin Williams # 1366-Harvest Moon). Staff recommends Sherwin Williams
#2337-Beacon Yellow for the exterior building color (for the lower 8 to 10 foot
portion of the bUilding) and Sherwin Williams #1366 - Harvest Moon (for all the
upper portion of the building) which will blend with the dried thatched roof
material. Staff also recommends Sherwin Williams #1334 - Cognacfor all exterior
doors instead of the gray proposed. A darker shade of brown was originally
proposed for the first floor of The Harbors: (Sherwin Williams #1335- Thai tan),
which is a lighter brown than dark walnut. Staff recommends that the wood posts
supporting the chickees, and all the proposed guardrails be painted Sherwin
Williams #1335- Thai Tan instead of being stained walnut brown. In addition, staff
recommends that the steel bollards in front be painted Sherwin Williams #1335-
Thai Tan to blend in with the guardrails. Additionally, staff recommends that the
stucco wall to screen the dumpster be painted to match the lower portion of the
building (Sherwin Williams #2337 - Beacon Yellow), and the paver bricks be a
complimentary medium terra cotta clay color (similar to S-tile roof at The Harbors)
and laid in a herringbone pattern as depicted on the elevation plan.
Signage:
The elevation page shows the general location of proposed wall signs (no
freestanding signage is proposed). The main project wall sign (Chow Hut) would
be placed over the front windows shown on the north elevation. A note on the
elevation drawing indicates that the sign would be made of "sandblasted wood
signage, white lettering on brown background". The sign itself would be 9 feet 8
inches in length and 2 feet 6 inches in height for a total of 25 square feet in area.
The second wall sign, located on the rear of the building is the same size and
would be made of the same material. All project signage is indicated on the
elevations and has been reviewed by staff for compliance with the sign square
footage allowed based on linear feet of building wall on the north facade which is
20 feet. The main wall signs on the north and south facades are 25 square feet
each. The restrooms sign is 4 square feet and the pick up window sign on the
west side is 3.5 feet. Collectively, these wall signs would comply with the area
limitations as set forth in Chapter 21, Article IV, Section 2.C of the Land
Development Regulations.
Signs, in general, shall be designed and treated as part of the architecture of the
building. They are formally evaluated during the site plan review process. The
proposed signs have very large white letters and much less of the background
color. The Applicant has not submitted a sample of the brown proposed for the
sign background color. Staff recommends the signage details as proposed, with
the exception that the background sign color be specified as Behr Premium Plus
Exterior #S-G-280 Mango Madness instead of the proposed brown. The mango
color will serve as a festive accent color to the recommended yellow, gold, and
browns, and is a much lighter shade of orange than the Applicant originally
proposed for the building. All new project signage is subject to review and
approval of the Community Redevelopment Agency Board (see Exhibit "C" -
Staff Report - Chow Hut (MSPM 05-007)
Memorandum No PZ 05-192
Page 7
Conditions of Approval).
Lighting:
The elevation plans indicate light fixtures mounted on the wood chickee posts and
on the south side of the building. The Photometrics Plan indicates that light pole
fixtures (Type SA) in front of the building shall be equipped with shields to reduce
light spillage onto adjacent sites. However, the height and color/ material of the
freestanding outdoor pole lights and details of the wall mounted light fixtures have
not been provided by the Applicant. A note indicates that all equipment placed on
the walls of the building shall be painted to match the building color. The design,
style, and illumination level shall be compatible with the building design (height)
and shall consider safety, function, and aesthetic value per Chapter 9, Section
10.F.1. of the Land Development Regulations (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for approval of a major site plan modification for redevelopment of the site.
Staff recommends approval, contingent upon all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval. The Technical Application Review Team (TART) recommends that the deficiencies identified in
this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans submitted for building permits. Also, any additional conditions
recommended by the CRA Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of
Approval.

County Engineering Department (PBCED), Palm Beach County Department of Environmental
Resource Management (PBCDERM) and any others, shall be included with the permit request.
7. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets.
8. Please note that changes or revIsions to these plans may generate additional comments.
Acceptance of these plans during the TRC process does not ensure that additional comments may
not be generated by the Commission and at permit review.
9. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets.
10. Provide all plans on standard 24-in. x 36 in. sheets.
11. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape Plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) The
lighting design shall provide a minimum average light level of one foot-candle. On the Lighting Plan,
specify that the light poles shall withstand a 140 MPH wind load (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section
A.1.a and Florida Building Code). Provide a note that the fixtures shall be operated by photo-
electrical control and are to remain on until 2:00 a.m. (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a.)
Include pole wind loading, and pole details in conformance with the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV,

MSPM 05-007
1 st Review
June 6, 2005
A sealed survey (not older than six months) is required for this major site plan modification
(Chapter 4, Section 7.A.). The project cannot go to the Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) Board meeting until this is accomplished.
At the technical advisory review team (TART) meeting, provide written responses to all staffs
comments and questions. Submit 12 sets of revised plans. Each set should be folded and stapled.
At the technical advisory review team meeting, also provide a full set of reduced drawings, sized
8\12 inches by 11 inches of each plan. Save each plan to a compact disk and submit that to staff as
well.
Staff considers these plans to be at the final stage of site plan review, the last stage prior to permit
review. As such, all comments need to be addressed and shown on the plans prior to the
Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) meeting. Any information not shown on the plans at
the TART meeting would be required to be shown at the time of permitting.
On the drawing prepared by GBC (sheet C-l), it appears as though the freezer area would
encroach into the existing parking spaces located directly south of the building. However, the
same freezer area does not appear to encroach into the row of parking as shown on sheet L 1 or
sheet SP 1. Rectify sheet C-l so that it matches the other plans. In addition, the freezer is counted
towards building area. Since this is the case, is the total building area only 998 square feet? This
figure seems to be inaccurately low.
An outdoor bar area is shown on the plans. Bars require conditional use approval (Chapter2,
Section 6.). What percentage of the proposed establishment's sales would be from food as
compared with beer or liquor sales? Staff will use this figure to determine whether or not the
project is considered a restaurant versus a bar.
The maximum allowable lot coverage in the C-2 zoning district is 40% (Chapter 2, Section 6.B.).
On the site plan tabular data (sheet SPl), indicate the lot coverage of the proposed project. This
statistic should include all areas occupied by a building or roofed area, inclusive of the covered
patio area.
The maximum allowable height in the C-2 zoning district is 25 feet (Chapter 2, Section 6.B.). On
the site plan tabular data (sheet SPl), indicate the proposed building height and ensure that this
figure matches the height proposed on the elevations (sheet A6). Also, graphically show the
height at the peak of the roof on the elevations (sheet A6).
The site plan proposes three (3) new parking spaces at the northeast comer of the property. As
such, a landscape buffer, two (2) feet - six (6) inches in width would be required along the east
property line. This required landscape buffer may result in the elimination of one (1) of the
proposed spaces. If this is the case, the total seating capacity (for the restaurant) could not exceed
32 seats, based upon the parking required by code.
Graphically show the number of seats and seating arrangement on the floor plan (sheet AI) and
indicate the total number of proposed seats on the site plan tabular data (sheet SPI).
Will amplified music be played indoors or outdoors? If so, indicate their location on the floor
plan (sheet A2).
A drainage statement is required prior to the Technical Review Committee meeting (Chapter 4,
Section 7.F.2.).
A traffic impact statement is required prior to the Technical Review Committee meeting (Chapter
4. Section 8.F.).
The removal/relocation of landscape material is subject to review and approval of the City
Forester / Environmentalist.
The new eastern perimeter buffer shall (where the new parking spaces are proposed) shall contain
a continuous hedge, planted at a minimum of 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, with tip-to-
tip spacing. This hedge shall be maintained between four (4) and six (6) feet in height, except in
safe-sight triangles. Also, one (1) tree is required for every 30 linear feet. Trees are required to
be 12 feet overall height at the time of installation.
All trees are required to be at least 12 feet overall height at the time of installation (Chapter 7.5,
Article II, Section 5.C.2.).
All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, and
planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured immediately after planting to adequately cover the
planted areas on the site (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.CA.).
Fifty percent (50%) of site landscape materials must be native species. Indicate the amount of
native material in the plant list of the landscape plan (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.P). On the
landscape plan plant list (sheet Ll), separate the trees from the groundcover / shrubs.

responses to all staffs comments and questions. Submit 12 sets of revised
plans. Each set should be folded and stapled.
49. At the technical advisory review team meeting, also provide a full set of
reduced drawings, sized 8Yz inches by 11 inches of each plan. Save each
plan to a compact disk and submit that to staff as well.
50. Staff considers these plans to be at the final stage of site plan review, the
last stage prior to permit review. As such, all comments need to be
addressed and shown on the plans prior to the Technical Advisory Review
Team (TART) meeting. Any information not shown on the plans at the
TART meeting would be required to be shown at the time of permitting.
51. On the drawing prepared by GBC (sheet C-I), it appears as though the
freezer area would encroach into the existing parking spaces located directly
south of the building. However, the same freezer area does not appear to
encroach into the row of parking as shown on sheet L 1 or sheet SP 1.
Rectify sheet C-I so that it matches the other plans. In addition, the freezer
is counted towards building area. Since this is the case, is the total building
area only 998 square feet? This figure seems to be inaccurately low.
52. An outdoor bar area is shown on the plans. Bars require conditional use
approval (Chapter2, Section 6.). What percentage of the proposed
establishment's sales would be from food as compared with beer or liquor
sales? Staffwill use this figure to determine whether or not the project is
considered a restaurant versus a bar.
53. The maximum allowable lot coverage in the C-2 zoning district is 40%
(Chapter 2, Section 6.B.). On the site plan tabular data (sheet SPI), indicate
the lot coverage of the proposed project. This statistic should include all
areas occupied by a building or roofed area, inclusive of the covered patio
area.
54. The maximum allowable height in the C-2 zoning district is 25 feet
(Chapter 2, Section 6.B.). On the site plan tabular data (sheet SPI), indicate
the proposed building height and ensure that this figure matches the height
proposed on the elevations (sheet A6). Also, graphically show the height at
the peak ofthe roof on the elevations (sheet A6).
55. The site plan proposes three (3) new parking spaces at the northeast comer
of the property. As such, a landscape buffer, two (2) feet - six (6) inches in

width would be required along the east property line. This required
landscape buffer may result in the elimination of one (1) of the proposed
spaces. If this is the case, the total seating capacity (for the restaurant) could
not exceed 32 seats, based upon the parking required by code.
56. Graphically show the number of seats and seating arrangement on the floor
plan (sheet AI) and indicate the total number of proposed seats on the site
plan tabular data (sheet SPl).
57. Will amplified music be played indoors or outdoors? If so, indicate their
location on the floor plan (sheet A2).
58. A drainage statement is required prior to the Technical Review Committee
meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.F.2.).
59. A traffic impact statement is required prior to the Technical Review
Committee meeting (Chapter 4. Section 8.F.).
60. The removal/relocation of landscape material is subject to review and
approval of the City Forester / Environmentalist.
61. The new eastern perimeter buffer shall (where the new parking spaces are
proposed) shall contain a continuous hedge, planted at a minimum of 24
inches in height, 24 inches in spread, with tip-to-tip spacing. This hedge
shall be maintained between four (4) and six (6) feet in height, except in
safe-sight triangles. Also, one (1) tree is required for every 30 linear feet.
Trees are required to be 12 feet overall height at the time of installation.
62. All trees are required to be at least 12 feet overall height at the time of
installation (Chapter 7.5, Article IT, Section 5.C.2.).
63. All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height,
24 inches in spread, and planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured
immediately after planting to adequately cover the planted areas on the site
(Chapter 7.5, Article IT, Section 5.CA.).
64. Fifty percent (50%) of site landscape materials must be native species.
Indicate the amount of native material in the plant list of the landscape plan
(Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.P). On the landscape plan plant list (sheet
L 1), separate the trees from the groundcover / shrubs. Furthermore,
separate shade trees from palm trees. Indicate by asterisk, the native species
and ensure that at least 50% of landscape material is native.
65. All project si.lmage is subject to review and approval of the Planning &

areas occupied by a building or roofed area, inclusive of the covered patio
area.
54. The maximum allowable height in the C-2 zoning district is 25 feet
(Chapter 2, Section 6.B.). On the site plan tabular data (sheet SPI), indicate
the proposed building height and ensure that this figure matches the height
proposed on the elevations (sheet A6). Also, graphically show the height at
the peak of the roof on the elevations (sheet A6).
55. The site plan proposes three (3) new parking spaces at the northeast comer
of the property. As such, a landscape buffer, two (2) feet - six (6) inches in

Traffic Congestion and population density is a concern in this area. This
situation will get worse as the density increases. Pursuit of traffic light pre-
emption is essential as a remedy. To meet the increased demand additional
resources are required such as personnel, apparatus, and equipment. It is
imperative that Fire Station #5 be expedited to insure adequate service
delivery levels and effective response times. This situation also increases the
potential for mass causality events when large numbers of people occupy
confined areas. This is becoming more prevalent in many areas of the city.
Every added new commercial and multi-family occupancy increases the
annual fire prevention inspection workload as required by ordinance.
Although there have been a large number of these occupancies added in the
past several years, our inspection staff has decreased. This situation has
reached a point that may soon require changes in our inspection schedules
that may negatively affect our future success. The past and current service
level has prevented any significant fires in these occupancies for several
years.
New development projects involving multi-family or high-density commercial
projects should be approved contingent upon consideration of future
upgrades in emergency dispatch capability. These enhancements include
new technology related to CAD, GIS, and AVL capability, as well as adequate
staffing. All other factors (personnel, training, technology, fire station
placement, building design features, etc) depend on a reliable and efficient
method of getting the resources provided where they are needed in time to
mitigate the consequences of an emergency, regardless of the type of
response.
