The Chief of the Fire Division or the Chief of the Police Division is hereby authorized to establish fire lanes on either public or private property within the city upon finding that the following conditions exist:
(a) A fire lane is necessary for safeguarding life and property from the hazards of fire and explosion and for the use and occupancy of buildings, structures and adjacent property.
(b) The fire lane is incident to a retail, commercial or manufacturing use or other use where it can reasonably be expected that the public will assemble in sufficient numbers so that the presence of the public and their motor vehicles, if not controlled, will interfere with the operation of fire and rescue equipment and personnel and with the egress of occupants in case of fire or other emergency.
