(A) General. All projects that require the additional use or new facilities of essential services, such as sewers, storm drains, fire hydrants, potable water, public streets, street lighting and similar services, shall obtain such approval as required by the agency providing such service prior to project approval. Fire hydrants shall be no more than 1,000 feet apart, no more than 500 from any structure, approved by the city’s Fire Department, and readily accessible by a fire truck.
(B) Approval for and availability of essential services. Nonavailability of essential services shall be permitted to be grounds for denying permits for additional development until such services are available. The city is not obligated to extend or supply essential services if capacity is not available. If capacity is available, the extension of services shall be by and at the cost of the developer, unless the city agrees otherwise. All service extensions shall be designed and installed in full conformance with the city’s standards for such service, and shall be subject to review, permit and inspection as required by other policies or this chapter.
