The Chief of the Fire Department is hereby authorized to establish fire lanes upon public or private property within the city, with the approval of the Director of Public Safety, upon finding that the following conditions exist:
(A) A fire lane is necessary to safeguard life and property from fire, explosion and other hazards and to safeguard the use and occupancy of buildings, structures and adjacent property; and
(B) A fire lane is incident to a residential, retail, commercial, manufacturing or industrial use, or other use, where it can be reasonably expected that the public will assemble in sufficient numbers that their motor vehicles, if not controlled, will interfere with the operation of firefighting equipment and personnel and the egress of occupants of buildings and structures in the case of fire.
