THE 2004 OREGON FIRE CODE

Estimated Time: 20 minutes
Statem, t: The City Council adopted the 2004 Oregon Fire Code (based on the 2003 International
Fire Code with Oregon Amendments) on November 15,2005. The Oregon Fire Code is a statewide
minimum fire code, and local jurisdictions may adopt and amend the state code as long as
modifications are more stringent. The adopted version ofthe Oregon Fire Code by the City of Ashland
contains provisions which are less stringent than the state requirements. Council has requested that the
fire department review the adopted provisions of the Oregon Fire Code to determine if additional
requirements are necessary within the Hillside Development Standards area and other areas of the City.
Background: Since 1991, the City of Ashland has adopted two local fire code provisions which are
less stringent than the state standard. These provisions are the requirements for minimum fire flow for
single-family dwellings and the maximum length of dead end streets before fire apparatus tum-a-
rounds are required. These less-stringent fire code provisions were adopted in consideration of local
infrastructure limitations that made compliance with the state standard impossible or created other
undesirable impacts from ~ community perspective. The fire department's ability to provide fire
protection for the community was not compromised by these local amendments. The fire department
has authority to impose alternative fire protection measures, where necessary to achieve fire protection
objectives, such as fire extinguishing and automatic notification systems. During the adoption process
for the 2004 Oregon Fire Code on November 15, 2005, the City Council requested further review of
those situations where the state fire code provisions were not adopted by the City of Ashland, and/or
where the emergency service needs of the fire department were not being adequately addressed by
current language within the adopted fire code. The City Council study session on June 8, 2006, will
provide an opportunity to explore these issues prior to staff bringing forward recommendations for the
adoption of additional amendments to the fire code.

by the Fire Code Official when: (1) a planning action or building permit application
requires landscaping, or (2) an applicant for a planning action or building permit is not
required to install landscaping, but the applicant proposes to install new landscaping or
modify existing landscaping on the subject property.
B. A planning action or building permit that requires or proposes the installation of
landscaping shall not be approved until a landscaping plan is reviewed and approved by
the Fire Code Official.
C. A landscaping plan is not required to be produced by any professional landscaper or
landscape architect. The landscaping plan shall include the following:
1. A diagram of the subject property that identifies all buildings, driveways, access
roads, fences, overhead powerlines, property lines, any present landscaping, and
any other significant features;
2. A diagram showing the location of existing trees and plants to be left and
proposed trees and plants to be planted; and
3. A list of plant species to be planted. For trees and shrubs, anticipated mature size
must be listed.
D. The owner of the property subject to a landscape plan shall contact the Fire Code Official
for inspection following the completion ofthe landscaping project. Approval ofthe
landscaping plan expires twelve (12) months from the date of approval. Written requests
for an extension of the expiration date may be approved by the Fire Code Official.

in Appendix A, as approved by the Fire Code Official.
E. Spacing of the plantings oftrees and shrubs shall meet the requirements as set forth in
Appendix B of this ordinance as adopted by Resolution.
F. Proposed flammable landscaping, as identified by the Fire Code Official, shall be planted
at such a distance from any building or structure so as to not likely come into contact
with any building or structure when the landscaping is fully mature.
G. Landscaping on the subject property shall be maintained in accordance with the other
provisions of this Chapter.
Appendix A
Fire Resistant Plant List
Fire-Resistant Plant Materials for Ashland
From: OSU Extension Service, Rogue Valley Council of Governments, City of Ashland, KenCairn
Sager Landscape Architects
* * Any plant can bum if not maintained free of dead material and watered
regularly. Ashland's climate does not lend itself well to water loving species.
Choose species that are drought tolerant for places where you don't water
and be conscious of those plants that deer are attracted to. Placement of
landscaping plants is extremely important for wildfire safety. Trees should
be planted to maintain 10 to 30 feet (more for steeper ground) of space
around the canopy at maturity. Shrubs and trees should not be placed to
form ladders of fuel, which can let fire move from ground level to trees or
the house. A good rule of thumb is to keep tree branches pruned at least
three times the height of the available fuel beneath the tree. Foundation
plantings should be extremely fire resistant and planted away from
flammable wood siding. Maintain at least 3 feet of fuel free space around
your home, decks, and wooden stairs. Finally, keep plants at least 2 feet
below windows. It's best to plant something that will stay small rather than
require constant maintenance to control flammability.
Call Ashland Fire and Rescue at 552-2066 for site-specific recommendations or a review
of plans.
Virtually all annual flowers and bulbs in a bed are fire-resistant species. When
making flowerbeds, use care to keep wood mulch or bark away from flammable siding,
decks, and fences.

*Caution should be used when planting evergreen trees. These trees can be very
flammable, especially when young. Take care not to plant them close to your home and
allow lots of room for future growing space. The practice of planting evergreens close
together to form a privacy barrier between homes and along driveways is especially
hazardous.
There are many more species which are appropriate for fire prone areas in Ashland.
We're happy to update this list with your favorite plants.
