SUBJECT:
QFC Fueling Station
1. The preliminary fire flow requirement is 1,500 gpm. Two fire hydrants are required. One fire hydrant is required within 150-feet of the proposed building and one hydrant is required
within 300-feet. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the requirement as long as they meet current code, including 5-inch storz fittings. It appears adequate fire flow and fire
hydrants exist in this area.
2. The fire mitigation impact fees are currently applicable at the rate of $0.52 per square foot of building area. Fees are not charged for canopy structures. Credit would be granted
for the existing building to be removed, so no new fees would apply as the old building is bigger than the one proposed.
3. Separate plans and permits are required to be submitted to the Renton Fire Department for review and permitting of all underground fuel tanks and tank monitoring systems.
4. All new commercial fuel dispensing facilities shall be provided with an approved on site standby power system to facilitate fuel dispensing during local power outages or disaster.
5. Fire department apparatus access is adequate.
6. An electronic site plan is required to be submitted to the Renton Fire Department for pre-fire planning purposes prior to occupancy of the building. See attached sheet for the format
in which to submit your plans.
