(1) The Fire Warden and local fire authority having jurisdiction shall perform a wildland fire protection
analysis of all developments, existing or planned, to determine wildland fire protection ratings. The ratings developed under the analysis shall be the basis for implementing fire-safe design, construction criteria, and fire protection systems. The higher the relative value, the higher the wildland/urban interface and the fire protection hazard rating.
(2) The analysis shall reference the Tooele County wildland/urban interface risk zones map identified in Title 6, Chapter 18 of the Tooele County Code to determine the wildland-urban interface hazard rating.
(3) Subdivision design shall reflect mitigation for those hazards identified in the fire protection analysis and those standards required in Title 6, Chapter 18 of the Tooele County Code.
(4) Fire suppression water sources shall be reviewed and approved by the Fire Warden or the local fire authority having jurisdiction. The system shall provide for fire flow storage of water that complies with the current state-adopted fire code, local ordinances, local fire authority regulations, and NFPA guidelines for the type of occupancy and level of development. Any fire hydrants shall be placed per the International Fire Code and the National Fire Protection Association standards.
(5) Defensible space for structures and buildings shall be used in all covenants, contracts, and subdivisions in conformance with development standards adopted by Tooele County Code Title 6, Chapter 18.
(6) Roads and streets shall provide safe access for emergency equipment, civilian evacuation, and unobstructed traffic circulation during an emergency.
